Candidates for teachers certificates
in Sussex county are notified that
they must prepare in botany, drawing
and pedagogy for the next examina-
tion. What a field for these subjects
Sussex offers! The eamateur botanist can
analyze the beautiful sand-bur that
modestly spreads over the earth and
invades the towns. and the fields OF
waving "old sage" will offer a fine op-
pormnity for experiment. Efforts at
drawing may include sketches of the
razor back hog. or of the 'possum up
the simmon tree. AS for pedagogy,
that is regarded rs the science of peda-
goguek. and there are no such persons
in Sussex. The species is extinct,
having given way to a race of pretty
school marms who care about as much
about the sciences as a Sussex darkey
does about Kipling

 Enterprise.

 The company also filed a notice of th location of 50000 inches of water in Queen Creek to be used for irriGating, manufacturing and mechanical pur- poses.
 The object of the company is the ir- rigation of lands lylng between Mesa City and Queen creek and the point of diversion from Queen creek is de- scribcd as one mile north of Oter's well. one and onC-half miles from the Hem inEton well, three miles east of Sylyes- ter's we'll and twenty-three miles east of Mesa Cny. The flow, of water in cue creek might perhaps be of a doubtful character at times, and for that reason. f for no other their ar ti-les permit them to construct reser- vuirs and dams for storage purposes.
 Articles were a,so filed yesterday or the Little Badger Gold Mining com pany, Phoenix and San Francisco, cap ital stock. S35O,0OO. The incorporators are A. B Bennison, John ]. Meyers, Julius Unger. F. r. Morgan and D. w.. Long. of San Francisco.

ambush and Killed.
 No one saw the murder, but tracks, evidently made by the murderer, were found in the ntighborhood of the dead body and were followed to the cabin occupied by Foo Pete and his partner A pair of shoes were found under a cot These shoes had evidently made the tracks. Foo Pete'was arrested and tried on this evidence. All the testi- mony against the def ndant was Chin csc and was Altered through an inter preter Most of 1t was unfriend,y and did not strengthen the case of the territory. There was a grav5 doubt re- gardinE the defendants guilt and the jury, though the murd r was as cold blooded as it could be. found Foo Pete guilty of manslaughter ad recommend- ed him to the mercy of the court. He was sent up for seven years.
 It was brought out that all the Chm csc about Globe belonged to two so- clcties. Foo Pete and his partner made up q. sole membership of one Of them. Chinese societies are not frc- oucnly friendly to each other and the suspicion kept growing that the mur- der had been committed by m mber Of the other society with the idea or getting Foo Pete hanged for it at the same time, and thus the opposition so- ciety would b. wiped out.
 The cabin of Foo Pete was never locked so that 1t would have been an easy matter for the murderer to enter and leave his shoes.
 The movement for the pardon was begun some time ago The petition was signed by Judge Doan, before whom the case was tried. by all the members of the jury who could be com municated with and many influential citizens of Globe. It was supported by the statement of Superintendent Brown of the penitentiary that Foo Pete had been a model prisoner.

THE LONE HIGHWAYMAN
He Held Up the Prescott and Grown
 King Stage.

w. H. Black who returned yester- day from a trip to the Bradshaw noun tains brought news of a little event that has the flavor of other days in Arizona.
 some four or five days ago a lone lighwayman, afoot and heavily armed, held up the stage that runs between Prescott and Crown King. Then he quietly pursued his way to Columbia amp where he sduntered into a stor and drawing a bead on the country merchant, helped himself to what little coin there was in sight
 The Iobbcr shortly after withdrew as quietly and urostentatiously as he had come and was lost in the rocks and hills of Yavapai. IL was not learned whether or not there were passengers on board the stage or who he robbed but 1t is generally believed the total cleanup of both robberies would not exceed $50.
 There seems to be no clew 10 the Identity of the highwayman, and So far as MT. Black knows, there have been no arrests. While coming along the road he passed a man sitting on a rock at the side of the road that h. thinks quite likely was the outlaw, but hc made no effort to mol.st Mir. Black and his judgment was based solely on the fact that h. had a rifle and two siX-shooters. was on foot and seemed .o he alone.

A YOUTHFUL HOLD-UP-On We'd ncsday evening a lady living in Mont gomerys addition, was coming up town just after dark, when a boy ten or twelve years old. jumped from be- hind a building near the electric light plant and grabbed her cape, demanding that the woman give him ten cents. She refused naturally enough, but the youngster still chung to her and re- peated his demand. ShC told him to let go or she would box his Jars in a way that evidently has not been done for some time. He finally concluded that he had held up the wrong woman, and was glad to get away. The boy has the making of a highway r0bber if he will cultivate his talents.

VISITING JOURNALISTS
Representative of the Great Eastern
 Newspaper League Here.

On a sidetrack at the M. X P. dopot stands the private car of MT. C. F. King and party, representing the Great Eastern Newspaper League, which has Headquarters in New York and Boston. Mir. King, the general manager, is in charge of the car, and his associates are Mr. stephen A. Hopkins, assistant general manager; w II. Ross, cores pondent and several other well known newspaper writers and artists.
 They arrived here yesterday morn- ing and will leave tonight. unless bus mess engagements should extend their stay. The object of their visit is to see the city and valley and confer with business men in the matter of advertis- ing this region. It can better be eX- plained by a short explanation of the formation of league and the work it is doing.
 The league Is a business arrangement between the New York Sun. the Phiia- delphia Times. the Baltimore Herald
  ing of interesting special letters de- scriptive of the west and largely of an advertising nature. These letters are published in each of the papers and their value is inCalculable, as tie pa- pers are among the leading journals of the east. The announcement of the formation of the Newspaper League was made early last May and the fact coming to the notice of the secretary of the Phoenix board of trade he wrote to the manager, inviting him to stop at Phoenix on the tour. From that time till the present MT King and party have been on the road, and dur irg the months that have passed every state and territory in the west have been traveled over with the exception Of Arizona and New Mexico, which they propose covering on their way east. The personnel of the party has changed from time to time, owing to sicknl ss, death and other unfortunate occurrences. but the corps of writers and artists has always been composed of able men.
 MT. King and Mir. Hopkins spent the greater part of yesterday in consulta- ton with President J. w. Evans of the board of trade, and a numb-r of lead- ing business men, and in the afternoon a proposition was submitted to the mayor and councilmen to write up the city for the papers named. but IL is understood the expense was SD great the councilmen seen decided they could not consider 1t at this time. A num- ber of business men and members Of the board of trade are interesting themselves in the plan and some kind of an arrangement may be entered into today.
 The gentlemen all. express themselves as agreeably surprised with what they have seen during their short stay and recognize in this valley great possi- bilties for the future. Phoenix is a larger and better built town than they had previously supposed it to be, and is worthy of good words
 Their entire western tour has been one of great pleasure as well as work for them and has afforded d broad and liberal education that cannot be gained from books, as to the nature or the wonderful resources and possibiii- tis of the west.
