1t seems to be the unanimous verdict
that Roney and his boys gave the most
enjoyable and most wonderful musical
entertainment ever given in this city
There was almost question in the
minds OF the audience as to whether its
entertainers were tangible or minister
ing spirits from another world. Such
cultivation in boys SO young seems in
credible. A supberb attraction. Ii
"Roney's Boys" were to come again it
is doubtful whether there would be an
auditorium large enough to hold the
audience Eastern Press comment. At
Tucson opera house Wednesday even
ing March 6. Secure seats at kimbaIl

The coming school election will be in
some respects the most important that
has been held here. The urgent need
for new buildings will necessitate the
expenditure Of large sum OF money. 1t
is important that there should be on the
board a practical mechanic who under
stands all the details OF building and
who will see that the district gets the
best possible for its money. The labor
ing men constitute large majority of
the patrons of the school. Theirs are
the children who are being educated
here, who will occupy these new build
ings and they will demand that their
representative, Mr.. c. E. Chase, who is
one of the most capable mechanics in
Tnaanu hn oil SnI 10 thn
represent them.
President Hays will probably be in
Tucson in few days. He is now in FL
Paso and is making careful examina-
ton OF the system. George Gould al
though not travelling with the president
seems to be followed closely upon his
heels, and it is possible that he will
come to Tucson. Mr.. Gould and Presi-
dent Hays of the Southern Pacific were
both in New Orleans Saturday night,
and when interviewed by the correspon-
dent of the Houston Post Mr. Hays de-
MED very emphatically that there had
been any consolidation OF the Southern
and Union Pacific or that the recent
purchase by the Harrimen syndicate of
q block of Southern Pacific stock would
in any way affect the management or
policy OF his road. Moreover, they did
not acquire controlling interest as was
published in some papers. ..

dropping to the ground and was dis
charged. The ball entered the constables
right arm below the elbow, shattering
the bone and severing an artery. I'm
mediate medical assistance saved Mr..
Manciet's life, and he was at once re-
moved to his home where ne is receiv-
ing the most careful attention. Mr..
Manciet was elected constable of pre-
cinct No. this fall, and was fearless
and efficient in the performance OF his
duty. He is popular in the community

when the news OF the accident became
known. The surgeons are trying to save
