4 FOOTBALL GAME
Mexican Boys Defeated Yesterday by
 Picked Team.

In an interesting game of football yesterday near Polk and Second streets a team composed of eX-college players and young men who play on the teams around town defeated the Mexican team to the tune of II to D. The game was hotly contested from the kick off. but the superior knowledge of the game by the Americans finally gave them the game. Juan, the crack half back of this years normal school team played left half for the Mexican team. and played a very pretty game, he making the only touhdown for his team.
 The best game for the white boys was played by Al Rhodes, at full back. and Wm. MacNulty, at left-half. Both of these men are old stagers at the game, and kept the MeXicans on the jump. The team has had very little practice and taking this into consid- eratiou put up very creditable game. Yesterdays winning team desires q game with the crack Indian school aS- gregation on New Years day. Such game would prove a very interesting one.

DRESSES TO MATCH THE HAIE
English Fiancees Have New Fad fo
 Bridesmaids.

These cables told the American S resders recently of bride who insist ed that one of the bridesmaids should wear green stockings. and there are new evidences that the craze for novel; ty has seriously attacked the up-to- date bride. who is not satisfied with the arrangements for her wedding un- less they include some strikingly ori- ginal detail.
 A bride of last summer hit on the idea of choosing her bridesmaids on- iy from among girls who had blue eyes. and now we hear of a fiance who has shown even greater ingenuity. Her bridesmaids dresses are to match her hair. which is of the order known in society as Burnes-JOnes, and to Ar riet as "carrots"-a hue which lends itself to few contrasting colors.
 The long-adhered to white satin, by the way, from which time immemGrial has been the orthodox wedding dress fabric, is now quite out of fashion. The bride who cannot run" to old lace nowadays manages to look very charming in white velvet or crepe de chine.

MURDERED SHEEPnEN
Report of Another Tragedy Comes
 From Tonto Basin.

A MT. Booth, a sheepman from the north, on Sunday night brought word to the city of the killing of two sheep herders in Tonto basin. He did not know the names of the murdered men nor any of the circumstances of the tragedy. He said though that in the case of the sudden death of a sheepman in that part of the country it was un- necessary to make any inquiry as to how it happened. That has for years been one of the most desperate battle grounds in the west between sheep men and cowboys, and though until now there has been no recent trage- dies, the feeling between the two stock interests have not been improved since the Tewksburys and Grahams were trying to annihilate each other and pretty nearly succeeded From the Globe Silver Belt. which came to Phoe- nix yesterday, the following addition al facts of the> killing are learned:
 The victims were Berry, a young man 24 years of age who was in charge of his fathers band of sheep, and a Mexi- can boy + years old whose father was employed by Berry as a herder.
 The young men were killed in camp on the morning of December p. when they were getting ready to go to Gi- sela to buy supplies.
 They were evidently shot without warning and instantly killed The Mexican was shot in the back and the breast torn away where the bullet left the body. There was evidence that he had fallen into the fire. from which he was afterward dragged and a gun placed in his arm.
 The father of the murdered Mexican boy. who was some distance off herd ing the sheep. saw two men ride to- ward the camp and then heard two shots fired. From the description of one of these men given by the Mexican herder he is supposed to be a goat man who lives in this section and he has probably been apprehended ere this by Deputy J. C. Chilson. and Ben Pyatt who went from PaysOn to make the ar rest.
 Another theory held here is that the murderers were cattlemen who were provoked to the commission of the crime by the invasion of the range by tens of thousands of sheep.
 It will be remembered that in the summer of 1902, Eugene B. Packard. a well known cattleman was murdered in that section of TOnto basin. by Mexican sheep herder. who is now serving life sentence in Yuma. The murder of Packard aroused great deal of illfeeling toward the sheep men by the people of TOntO, and it is thought that the murder of young Berry and the Mexican boy was an act of vengeance.

HE DIED OF BURNING
B. Peralta Succumbs to his Injuries
 of Christmas Eve.

B. Peralta died yesterday afternoon at the Sisters hospital from burns he received in the burning Of his house on Christmas eve. There had been very little hope for him from the beginning on account of the locations of the burns. The skin surface destroyed was not in itself so great. The whole back of the head and the top from an inch back of the forehead had been burned. Also the back of the neck. a consider able portion of the back and the left arm.
 The fire was caused by the explosion of a lamp while the family was at sup per. It threw blazing oil in every di rection and the family ran out into the yard. There are several children, and after Peralta and his wife stood watching the growing fire, they re- membered that one of their children had not been accounted for. Peralta ran back into the house and found it asleep. He threw 1t through a window and had plenty of time himself to make his escape. He stopped though to save some articles he saw in the room. When he emerged from the blazing house he was on fire. He fell in a faint He had been burned so deeply that blood Sushed from one of the veins of the neck. In d little while he recovered and was able to walk to physician. After his wounds were dressed he walked to the house of his son. A day or two later it was found necessary to remove him to the hos pital, for it was evident that if he were to recover he must have the best of care, and then in the event of his getting well, that must be looked upon as something Of a miracle.

carried a lunch neatly done up in a brown paper with him. He deposited it on the seat beside him and was soon deep in a political conversation with a Comrade. At Seventh street the young woman and the dog appeared on the scene. The car was filled up consid- eIdbly, and the only vacant seats hap pened to be in the vicinity of the two colored men. The girl sank into a seat near the man with the lunch and placed the pup on the seat next to her.
 The discussion between the laborers had by this time become quite heat ed. The passengers were listening with amused interest, and few paid any at tegtion to the late corners. The owner Of the lunch had just discovered what he thought was a powerful argument in favor of his side of the question when the look of triumph was start led from his face by an uneasy Drop it, Taffy.' The remark came from the woman with the dog and the laborer turned to see the animal busily en- gagged in chewing a piece of ham which he had dragged from the lunch. All po- iitical conversation was dropped at once, and with blood in his eye the negro made for the dog. The pup. startled by the sudden onslaught, made fer the door in great haste. The man was too quick, however. and caught him before he had covered half the dis tance. The young woman, seeing trou- ble in store for her pet, joined in the chase. In spite of the odds against him. the negro secured the ham in one hand and was pummelling the dog with the ether. needless of the "horrid brutes" the woman threw at him. At this point the conductor settled the matter by stopping the car. With a wild yelp of fear the dog bounded off and started up the street, his fair mistress in hot pursuit. The negro gathered up his scattered lunch, and with a whitening look of scorn at the laughing passen- gers, got off at the next corner.-Wash- ington Post

mercial world the one best able to give advice to
those who have not been successful in the great field
of labor? We will accept Mr.. Shedds statement
seriously-not iterally-as he intended it should be
accepted. | will give brief outline of his business
career, and you may judge from that whether he is
or is not competent to speak on success. At the
age of fifteen he entered the employ of Marshall
Field and Co. a cash boy, and was advanced from
one position to another until he became the foreign
buyer of silks and laces for the firm At that time
he was young man and as he was with the firm
only twenty years before he made partner, his
work must have given satisfaction. Do you not
think the experience of one who has raised himself
without influence and by his own ability from cash
boy to partner in of the largest establishments
in the world is likely to be of value to others? If
his position does not spell Success with very large
capital as plain pen write it, then the word
is without meaning to me-"
Our friend H. G. G.. has misunderstood us.
The MIRROR has no inclination to scott at any man
who does things, and if it had such desire it would
curb it. Our comment last week was devoted en-
tirely to Mr. Shedd's phraseology. His advice was
probably excellent, and he unquestionably knows
whereof he speaks, but the sentence quoted in The

derive keen Joy from his work: the great difficulty
is to find the right line before it is too late If those
who have succeeded would tell us how this is to be
done, their advice would be invaluable. AS it is,
their experience is Of great value but it is not too
much to ask them to express themselves in COM

south of San Diego, California,
this isolated territory stretches

It belongs to Mexico, but is sepa-

The Southern Pacific railroad
company is preparing to extend
long arm from the American border
through the whole length of this
narrow peninsula. There is now
not mile of railroad in that state
or territory, whichever it may be
"a territory stretching through
eleven degrees of latitude to the
tropic of Cancer. Its climatic
conditions are good and it contains
great mineral wealth, with agri-
cultural possibilities that modern
enterprise will prove to be worth
developing. 1t requires con-
siderable amount of financial
courage, however, to construct a
railroad through the entire length
of this narrow peninsula, with
ocean competition on both sides
and with other roads within reach,
across the Gulf of California.
But railroad companies nowadays
know with some degree of certain
ty what is in sight before under
taking the construction of roads
and they seldom fail to get what
they go after. Who would have
thought until very recently that
there was wealth enough in Alaska
to warrant the expenditure of mil
lions in constructing railroad in
that far northern country? But
today it has not only one, but two
or three roads under construction,
one of which is now doing a good
freight and passenger business
over the few miles in operation,
and company has recently been
organized in British Columbia to
construct another road from some
point in that territory to the Klon-
dixie. The country through which
this road will run contains not
only great mineral districts, but
large wheat land areas It costs
more to build and operate a rail-
road in that far northwest than in
this part of the country and there
fore the revenues will necessarily
have to be correspondingly large
to warrant their construction.

Tho the Odds and Ends man is

two years when he began writing

hundreds of thousands of copies,
for on these editors, their ideas,
their judgment, their editorials,
rest very largely if not wholly, the
responsibility for the success or

Hence, they must feel called upon
to exert every effort, strain every
nerve to its highest tension in
their endeavors to think out such
thoughts and write along such
lines and in such ways as will
