 AN OPERATION PERFORMED.
 Drs. Jones and Dimes of Tempe and Dr. Drane of Mesa yesterday per formed a difficult operation on the little Pew boy, son of Plum Pew, who lives in Stringtown. The lad was play ing in a field some months ago when stray bullet from a .22 rifle struck him just back of the right eye. He was in a dangerous condition for some time, then grew better and for time attended school again then he rapid ly grew worse. X-rays have failed to locate the bullet, and yesterday the doctors trephined the skull to remove the pressure from the brain, and in so doing made a discovery of an in- jury that cannot be accounted for. A fracture was found on the opposite side of the head from which the bull let entered. It is thought that pos sibly when the boy was struck by the bullet he fell and struck his head, thus causing the fracture. At present he is in a very precarious condition, and his recovery is very doubtful.
 THE DANCE TONIGHT.
 The second dance under the au- spices of the Normal Amusement club will be given tonight at Curry hall. It is a strictly invitation affair, and the proceeds will be given to the basket ball girls. The other dance given by the mana cement was well attended and a thorough success, and it is to be hoped that this will be repetition of the former one. Good music has been secured, and all are assured a pleas ant evening who attend.
