Boy Fatally Shot
In Mimic Warfare,

Ell PAso, Tex, May Victor, the
9-year-old ..son sof A. Pallan, was shot
in the groin and fatally wounded by
another boy. A number of small boys,
Mexican and American, residing on the
west side OF the town make a practice
OF meeting nearly every day and playing
war. Sunday afternoon the boys were
playing war and several of them were
using 22-caliber rifles. Victor Pallan
had been standing on the summit OF q
hill watching the progress of the battle
below. He was not taking any part, but
was purely spectator.
Finally he decided to go home and was
walking down the hill, when one of the
mimic soldiers raised 22-caliber rife,
took deliberate aim at the little non.
combatant and fred. The bullet enter.

w. B. McCleary came in from Old
Baldy today. He says that he is push
ing development work upon several
mines in his district and is finding rich
bodies of ore. Mr.. McCleary is a sub

is regarded as one of the best judges OF a
mine,in Arizona.
Baxter, Irish and Ellis of the Twin
Butte camp are in Tucson today. There
are parties negotiating for the purchase

day that deal would soon be made.
These mines have been sold upon the

have received about $35, 900 altogether
which was paid upen bonds. They still
own the mines.
There is great deal of just complaint
against the city because of the condition
OF south Main street since the sewer
was put in. The dust is several inches
deep and every team raises cloud
which fills the houses along the street.
The remedy is speedy and the nuisance
should receive immediate attention. Let
the street be sprinkled until the dust be-
comes hardened and the people of that
portion of the city will become satisfied.
Rumors of another Oil excitement have
reached Tucson. The latest alleged dis
covery is in Maricopa county, and q
large tract OF land has been located. A
company has been formed and drilling
