1idt bHS DOdItl ndS ueclueu 10 retain
 the entire list of teachers just as they
 have been the past year. The schools
 Of our city are a source of pride and
 satisfaction as there are no better in
 the territory, and the board has done
 a wise thing in retaining the present
 very efficient corps of teachers. It is
 hoped to have our magnificent new
 school building completed by the
 beginning of the coming school year
 in September, as work will begin as
 soon as the schools are closed.
 Bert Starr, who was arrested last
 April on a charge of robbing the post
 office at Graham, N. M.. arrived in
 Prescott last night from Socorro, N.
 M., where he has been confined in
 jail and from which place he has just
 been released by habeas corpus pro
 ceedings. His milk of human kind
 ness was considerably soured when
 talked to by Journal Miner man to-
 day, as he feels that he has been very
 unjustly dealt with. According to
 his story he was with two other gen
 tlemen in the Bill Williams Fork country looking over some mining
 property, when in taking d fl Win
 chester rifle from the wagon the gun
 was accidentally discharged, the ball
 passing through his right arm, cut ting out about two inches of the bone.
 He was taken to the Congress hospi-
 tai on April B, and on April p he
 was served witt a warrant charging
 him as above. The doctor would not
 permit of his being moved at that
 time, but about four weeks afterwards
 he was taken to New Mexico and put
 in jail to await the next term of court,
 which does not convene until next
 fall. After staying there for several
 weeks he employed an attorney and paid him the last dollar he had to se- cure his release on habeas corpus pro- ceedings, which was done without any difficulty, as it was proven by the
 witnesses for the prosecution that he
 bore no resemblance whatever to the
 Bert Starr who took part in the rob
 bery. He was then released several
 hundred miles from home without cent in the world and a shattered arm. He will leave for his home in Congress in day or two.
 A case which has excited the sym pathy of the spectators in the court room is that of Dionisis Miller. sen fenced yesterday to one year in the penitentiary for shooting a neighbor for interfering with his property on Big Bug. Mir. Miller has lived in this section for over twenty years and has been peaceable, law abiding citizen, but was provoked to commit the deed for which yesterday he was sentenced.
 The Phenix Republican publishes a story to the effect that Otto Eber- | hart, a musician, formerly of Phenix. | and who went with McCord's regi- ment, was shot and killed in the | Philippines some time since. Eber- | hart had deserted his regiment and went over to the Filipinos.
