The Knot Was Tied.

Our genial friend, Judge Layton. had a little experience the past week, the effects of which are not all removed yet. A couple from some remote part of the territory rushed into his office and secured u marriage license, and the groom with considerable agitation said to the judge, Cant you tie the knot? We must catch that train and we only have a few minutes. Of course the accommodating judge assented, but in the furry got things connected with the railroad and the marriage a little mixed.
 Judge-"Show your tickets before you get aboard"
 Groom-"Here, Judge, is the paper you gave me-"
 Judge-''Ah!e excuse me; mean the license. Do you take this woman for your lawful wife?"
 GroOm-"Why, of course, I do. What did you think came for?"
 Judge-(To the bride)-"Do you take this man for your lawful husband?'
 Bride-"That's what l do, Judge; and he'll find that my words law, tOO."
 Judge-A little frustrated. "Join the coupling. An! pardon; make the connection; oh, excuse me-clasp hands. Two dollars and fifty cents in stamps, please. Exit couple.

Boards Ride at Globe.

William Beard, who represented Pinal county in the last legislature, was summoned to Globe last week as q witness before the district court. Mir. Beard is not an officer of any temper ance society, hence he will sip from the cup that staggers. Mr. Beard was doing considerable talking around the saloons about his record in the legis- lature, and speaking about the eight hour law, he said he voted against it. The miners became indignant at Beard for his vote on the bill, and about 200 of the members of the local union mounted the man from Pinal on rail and two men walked on each side of him, while several others car ried the old man to the depot and told him to "get."
 Beard is nervy old man and he re- fused to "get." But he did get back to town in advance of the men who rode him out of town on rail. This act does not reflect any particular glory upon the miners union, and will result in doing it in fact irreparable injury, as this is a free country and a man has right to vote as he deems best aud be protected. The Gazette will refrain from commenting till We learn the facts in the case. But it seems to us as though the court ought to protect its witnesses against such Outrages.-GaZette.

DEATH OF GENERAL HATCH.
A Veteran of tho Mexican War Dies From Disease of the Heart
 In New York.

Brevet Brigadier General John Por- ter Hatch died at his home in New York last week. He has suffered for some time from heart disease. He re- tired early in the evening and was found dead in bed at 10 o'clock.
 General Hatch was born in Oswego, N. Y., January 9, 1929, and was des cendant of Major Moses Porter, aid-de- camp on the staff of General Benedict Arnold at the battle of Saratoga. His ancestors came to this country in 1884. General Hatch was graduated at the West Point military academy and was appointed lieutenant in the Third United States infantry July l, 1S45. He reported for duty with his regi- ment at Corpus Christi, under Gen eral Taylo in October of that year, and engaged in the battle of Palo Alto. He was one of the only two surviving officers of PalO Alto; the other being General Lawrence V. Graham, of Washington.
 He took parts in every important battle of the Mexican war, and es. pecially distinguished himself at Vera Cruz and in the fighting before the City of Mexico, being breveted three times for gallantry. At the close of the Mexican war he was assigned to duty in New Mexico, being post com mander at Santa Fe in 1851, and was sent against the Apache Indians, and iu the next year against the Navajoes.
 He was retired under the age limit in 1886, and for the last ten years has lived in New York. His remains were intered in Arlington cemetery. He is we'll remembered by old timers in this territory General Hatch was also an uncle of Mrs. l.. B. Prince. He leaves a widow, a son, Mark B. Hatch, Of Washington, and an unmarried daugh- ter, who lived with her parents Citizen.

Hot Timo Expected.

There will be high old times at the next session of the district court as 1t is now understood that there will be an action brought against the board of supervisors for malfeasance, or some- thing Of that sort. The board, manned by the chairman, will carry the thing with high hand until stopped by the court, and when this is done the peO- pie of the county will be much relieved. Boards of supervisors, as a usual thing, are composed of the weakest men to be found in the county, but this board is away below the average. Mr. Scanlon, who is at the head of the affair appears to be ''it," and with the aid of the official daub. may be able to fool a few of the most rabid of the faithful into the belief that he is doing his duty MOhave Miner.

What All Know. But Tow Realize.


 nel is found the following:
 To get an idea of the geographical extent of our country one must look up the degrees of latitude and of lOngi- tude that are included within its boundary lines.
 In the United States prOper-and in this is included the Louisiana purchase of 1903, and also the Florida purchase of lSl9-our highest point of north latitude is the northern boundary line of North Dakota, in 49 north latitude. Within the same boundaries our most southern point is at Key West, Florida, in latitude 24 degrees and B minutes north. This gives us nearly p degrees. about l725 miles, in north and south line.
 Now, in the matter of longitude, within the aforesaid boundaries, we find that our most eastern point of longitude to be in the vicinity of Port land, Maine, in longitude 70 degrees and minute west of Greenwich, about 489O miles west Of that initial point. The point furtherest west of Portland is near to Astoria, Oregon, which is l23 degrees and 3 minutes west of Greenwich, distance of $500 mil9s. The difference, then, between Port land, Maine, and Astoria, Oregon, is of course exactly the difference be- tween 70 degrees minute, and l23 de- grees 3 minutes, being B degrees and and 2 minutes. This would give an extreme breadth between these two points of 365O miles.
 We will now include Alaska and see what may be the extent of our area. Point Barrow is our most northern limit and is in latitude Il degrees ? minutes north whilst our most south. ern point is Key West, Florida, in latitude "A degrees and g minutes north; the difference between the two points being 45 degrees minutes, about 3l25 miles in a north and south line.
 In the matter of longitude Point Bar row, Alaska, is l56 degrees minute west of Greenwich and is exactly 85 degrees ? minutes west of Portland, Maine, a distance of 5945 miles west of that place. However, the Hawaiian Islands are about 100 miles further west than is Point Barrow.
 We will now annex" the Philippine islands, and see where we stand in the matter of latitude and longitude. The latitude of Manila is IA degrees B minutes north. This places Manila about 875 miles on an east and west line south of Key West, Florida, and 3725 miles south of our most northern limit at Point Barrow. In longitude the Manila lighthouse is 20 degrees east of Greenwich, England, distant from Greenwich going east from that point, about 846O miles. The distance from Portland, Maine, also travelling eastward, is 19O degrees minute, about l3,32O miles. But if we shall journey westward from Portland, Maine, the distance wonld be only TO degrees, or about 1850 miles to Ma nila. From San Francisco to Manila is close to 82OO miles. This you perceive places Manila in north and south line l7O degrees, about II, $50 miles west of Portland, Maine. which is our furtherest point Of longitude east.
