tho school j. doing very satisfactory
work. The board will probably con-
tinue the school for three months
more, and we are confidently hoping
that the closing month will BE- taught
in the new building.
We urge parents TO visit the school
at any hour and as oftea as they
please. Their presence encourages
the pupils to greater diligence and
better conduct. No doubt there would
be less cause for criticism il parents
would make their visits more frequent.
Regular attendance and co-Operatin
Df parents are essential to pupils pro-
gress. Stopping a boy will tighten a
teachers work, but it does not educate
the boy. There are not many boys,
who, if left TO themselves. would ever
attend school. 1t is therefore the
iuty OF parents to see that their chill
lren be not deprived OF that which
will contribute most to their happi-
ness and usefulness in life.

Walter Trimble and Wife Arrested

Walter Trimble and wife were arrest
ed at Canarea, Sonora, last week by
Captain Mossman. OF the ranger force.
Req uisition papers had al ready been
secured By Lee y. Stratton, district
attorney of this county, and the couple
were brought To BisSee, and Sheriff
Parks wired to come and get them.
The sheriff arrived in Solomonyille
with the couple yesterday. where they
were lodged in Jail for safe keeping.
Trimhl il charged with assault upon
the person of the alleged daughter of
his wife. a mere child OF ten or twelve
years. Mrs. Trimble was "A partici-
pant in the crime using force against
the girl, which leads many to believe
that she is not the chilG's mother.
The crime was committed at Duncan
last summer, and is of such a revolving
nature that the details cannot be Civ
en- to tine public. Some weeks after
the crime was committed the couple
concluded to leave the country, aud
left the child with Constable Hill,
who has since taken the best OF care OF
her. Ever since that time the child
has been subject to fits of insanity, in
which she would tell the story of the
crime. She lived in such mortal dread
of her step-father and mother that it
was months before she could he in
duced to give the particulars OF the
assault 1t was only after Mr.. Hill
and wife had won the confidence of the
child. and then by promising to protect
her from her unnatural parents. that
she WAS induced to give the full par
;iculars OF one of the most revolving
Outrages ever committed in this coun-
try. This was about two months ago.
District Attorney Stratton and Sheriff
Parks were sent for, and after hearing
the story from the lips of the little
girl, made up their minds to secure
the criminals at all hazards. Sheriff
Parks went to work on the case at once,
with the result that the couple were
apprehended in CaGauea last week,
and are now in Graham county, where
they will receive full justice for their
crimes.
