Pima, May 8.
The exceedingly warm weather
of the last few days has caused
many of Pima's good people to
cast longing glances toward the
top Of old Graham.
Mrs. Alice Hamil-Handcock gave
an entertainment in the church last
Friday night, which was highly
enjoyed by all who were fortunate
enough to witness it. The lady is
now conducting class in elocu-
ton. The class assisted by Mrs.
Handbook, will give an entertain
ment in the church next Thursday
night. A rare treat is promised to
all who attend.
AT a meeting Of the Pima base
ball club held Saturday evening,
the club was reorganized with the
following officers: DR.. l.. E. Wight
man, manager; Frank Mcbride,
captain; J. II. Lines, assistant cap
tain, and Jos. A. Taylor, secretary.
The Jossey Stock Co., entertain
ed Pima's theatre goers Monday
night, with the beautiful drama
"Under two Flags" Vaudeville
specialties were introduced be-
tween acts and were much enjoyed
by the audience. The play is a
good one and the manner in which;
it was presented, reflects credit on
the company.
A very pretty home wedding
was celebrated yesterday at the
residence of James I'll. Mack, when
his daughter Matte, was united in
marriage to Kimball Markham. A
large number of friends were pres
ent and promptly at three o'clock,
Prest. Andrew Kimball pronounced
the words that made of two, one
flesh. After the ceremony sump-
tuous repast was served to the
guests. The bride and groom will
make their future home in Mexico,
for which place they expect to
start tomorrow. Their many
friends wish them a pleasant trip
and life of prosperity and happi-
ness.
Little Ross Rogers, who has
been very sick, is now well on the
road to recovery.
Sheriff Marshall has secured the
use Of the big drill, lately shipped
in by the Montezuma Mining Co.,
and will renew his search for artes-
ian water as soon as the arrange

THE EXCURSION.
viii Arrive In Stafford Next Sunday About
10 a. m.

The Commercial Club met again
last Wednesday night to complete
arrangements for the entertain
ment of the Elks and friends on
Sunday next. Committees on dec
Grafton, and streets, on transporta-
ton to the grove and on program
were appointed and Wiley E.
Jones was selected to make short
address of welcome when the train
arrives, and in fact everything
to keep the herd from stampeding
when they leave the cars and are
turned loose in our beautiful fields,
was arranged.
Hay wagons and buggies and
hacks, will be at the depot to take
them to the grove where they will
enjoy the day and evening. The
Globe people will bring brass
band and an orchestra and very
enjoyable day is anticipated by
all.
Mr.. Montierth is making prep
arations to serve all kinds Of mild
refreshment and lunches. This will
obviate the necessity of the people
taking pic-nics from here, although
there is no objection to those tax,
ing picnic who desire to do so.

Oil Struck in San Pedro Valley.

About three years ago Bishop
Lofgreen, while boring for artes-
ian water on his ranch near st.
David in the San Pedro valley,
struck a small seep of oil, says the
Tucson Citizen. This, linked to-
gether with the fact that good oil
indications exist, have caused par
ties to investigate the oil possibili-
ties in that section. Two oil ex
perts from California are at work
prosecuting active work and a
company will probably begin soon
to sink for oil.
The country about st. David is
rich in artesian water, and new
developments in this line are being
made every day. Some of the re-
cent development is reported by a
correspondent as follows:
Mr.. Carr across the river from
Mr.. Norcross' ranch, recently
struck fine flow of water. Mr.
Gould has bored two more wells
on his ranch. He now has all to
gcther nine fine flowing wells OF
his ranch. Other good flows o.
artesian water have been struck re
Gently. II. w. Etz, the well known
Benson butcher, struck fine flow
of water on his ranch, north O.
town, so you see Benson is also in
the artesian belt.

A MEXICAN DANCE.
Several Fights During the Night and u
Serious One In the Morning

SeriOuS One HI inc MOrnlnx
There was Mexican dance just
north of town last Saturday night,
which lasted all night. The dance
had notbeen long in progress before
the bug juice began to run freely
and it had not run long till those
who were embibing, began to get
quarrelsome. They had not been
this way very long, till the fights
began, which lasted till the dancing
ceased. They would dance a while,
then go out and have family
fight, take drink all round, then
return and dance again. This was
the program all night. After it
was all over, everybody, excepting
two, were as good friends as ever.
The two referred to are Antonio
Almania and Ruiz Lorgez. They
left the dance together, quarreling
and both as drunk as "biled owls"
The quarrel kept up until about
9 o'clock in the morning, when
Alamnia left his companion and
procured a large club which he
concealed near the Commercial ho-
tol,1 then returned to where Lorgez
was and the quarrel was renewed
and continued as the two went up
the street. When near where the
club was Almania went on ahead,
got the club, came back and COM
menced using it to the best advant-
age on the head of his drunken
companion. He struck Lorgez
four or five times before help
reached them. Almania was ar
rested and Lorgez was taken to
DR.. Hamilton's office, where the
doctor dressed the wounds. He
was severely injured about the
head, probably receiving fracture
of the skull. On Monday Almania
was given n hearing before Judge
Hunter and was held to answer
befor the grand jury. He was
lodged in Jail at Solomonville.

ALVORD TO SURRENDER.
The Latest Regarding the Famous Ontlaw

The Latest Regarding the Famous OntIaw
The Citizen says there is a rumor
that Detective Thacker, of Wells
Fargo has arranged to have Burt
Alvord, the fugitive train robber,
come in and give up with the
agreement that he will be given a
sentence of not more than five
years in Yuma, upon the charge of
holding up the Southern Pacific at
Cochise, and the federal charge
against him to be dismissed.
The story comes from Minas
Prietas where Alvord has been on
several occasions. ID etc ctiv e
Thacker has just returned from
Sonora, which lends interest to the
report.
Alvord left Bravo Juan some
time ago, it is said, and when last
seen was with Chacon, the desper-
ado who is wanted in Graham
county.

AT EDEN,
Everything Prosperous in that Happy
Little Burg.

everything prosperous IN tniiu happy
Little Burg.
Truman Tryan was in the city
from Eden last Tuesday and in
formed us that that town was
never in a more prosperous con-
dition than at present. Every
farm shows the result ofintelligent
husbandry and beneticient pro-
vidence in providing plenty of
water and good results. Every
farm is covered with verdent
green that is fast ripening into a
glorious harvest that will make
every farmers heart glad and the
whole community prosperous.
Just across the river from Eden
all that waste land embraced with
in the Thomas fiat is now being
brought under cultivation and in
stead of the barren waste as of
yore 1t is now beginning to pre-
sent the appearance of and advanc-
ed civilization
Mr.. Tryan's object in coming
to the city was to get a
baler that he had ordered and
which had been shipped to Stafford.
The baler is a good one and will
have plenty to do as the alfalfa
crop in the vicinity of Eden is
exceedingly heavy.

APACHE KID.
Executed in Mexico by Order of General
Torres

A Denver dispatch to the Rerie,c
says: A dispatch just received
here from Hermosillo, Mexico,
says that the leader Of a band of
Yaqui Indians, captured by Mexi-
can government troops, executed
at Autejuda by the order of Gene
raj Torres. Apache Kid was posi-
lively identified by an American
named Alex Mcdonald, who was
an army scout and knew the Kid
of Arizona. Further advices from
Hermosello brings the intelligence
that the inhabitants of the town
are fully satisfied that bloodthirsty
Apache has at last been killed.
Alex Mcdonald mentioned in the
dispatch was an army scout and
knew the Kid well. 1t is now ten
years since this young Apache
buck escaped from the Sheriff of
Pinal county as he was being TAX
en- from Globe to Florence. The
trip was made overland and in an
old stage of forty-nine class. The
party had reached a steep hill on
the road when they alighted to
make the ascent on foot. The Kid
was in the rear and grappled with
the guard, secured his winchester
and escaped. Since that day he
has cleverly eluded his pursuers
and his movements covered by
that daring and cunning peculiar
to his tribe. Several times he has
visited his haunts on the San Car
los reservation and often has been
chased by cowboys and soldiers
in his flights from the reservation
to his haunts in Mexico. He has
left trail of blood in Arizona
and his last supposed victim was
an old man Merrill and daughter
killed at Ash Springs in Graham
county. The authentic news of
his execution by order of General
Torres and his positive identifca-
tion by Alex Mcdonald will be
cause for rejoicing along the
border,

Copper Along the Colorado.

Almost daily new finds of cop
per ore are being made in the Col
orado river, bordering on the
state Of Utah. Some of the new
finds are as far north as Kane
county, while the greater number
are in Mohave. A railroad into
that country, says the Mohave
Miner, would cause stampede of
investors to those copper fields.
The ore is phenomenally rich and
the extent of the field is virtually

NO LONGER SING SING.
Prison Village of New York Weary of
Penitentlary Notoriety

New York. March 27.-The name Sing
Sing, SO FAR as the village proper is con-
cerned, is no more. Governor Od@I last
night signed the bill changing the name
from Sing Sing to Ossining- The name
Sing Sing has become synonymous with
the prison, and the outside world looked
upon the village as merely a penal
colony.
Manufacturers could not be induced to
20 there owing to the fact that the inn
preston has become general that all
goods made in Sing Sing were prison
made goods"
Other villages in Westchester county
during the last ten years have shown the
largest Increase in the history Of the
census bureau, but Sing Sing village
showed "a decrease Of ,S12 in population.
These conditions aroused the people.
and resulted in the petition to the legis-
lature for the change IN name.
Sing Sing was Incorporated on April
2. 1913. and was the first village in West
chester county to be Incorporated under
the state government Sing Sing prison
was erected in 1894. BY the provisions
o. the act which changes the name from
Sing Sing to Ossining the prison prop
erty IS still within the boundary lines of
the village. but the official name Of the
prison remains Sing Sing prison as here
to1ore. IL Is the purpose of the citizens
20 erect a railroad station on the prison
grounds SO that prisoners may be
brought to the prison without coming to
the OsSining station
