70 Patrons Benton High School:

The attendance at the meeting
called June 18th was 80 small
nothing was done except to au-
thorize me to correspond for a
Principal, and adjourned until
July 9th, when the faculty will be
selected, and other important bus
mess will be transacted, such as
settling with me as custodian of
moneys collected from the pa
irons, to elect q new board of
trustees, fix rate of assessment
per pupil, to raise necessary funds
to help pay salaries, &c. So it is
highly important that all patrons
be present; therefore all interest
ed persons are urgently requested
to attend. All ladies who feel
concerned in the welfare of the
school are solicited to be present
and lend their aid in maintaining
our High School.
We hope no patron will play the
"Artful Dodger" by evading the
meeting upon such subterfuges as
81 did not know of the meeting"
or 81 thought it was meeting of
the trustees &c. Any parent
who neglects the educational in.
terest of his child is a drawback
to the child, and commits sin of
omission inexcusable. Now is the
time to give your child all school
advantages you can, as he is
growing older and will soon reach
the age that such opportunities
will not avail him.
We have now nine applications
for the principalship before us,
and all seem to be first class ma
terial to select from, but such
class of teachers will not take the
position here for a small salary,
80 come out and do your whole
duty and stand by your school,
If you fail to maintain it's present
standard it will lapse into q school
of Insignificant pretentions, and
your children will be the losers
thereby.
Respectfully,
B. A. KELLY,
President Board of Trustees oil
Benton High School.

RECENT RAID \ ON B0AGHl
Full Particulars of tine Affair-lt is Believed That the Sanchez Gang Is Now in the United States.

From a man who recently came from Bocoachi country the true story IS obtained of the recent raid on that town by what was first reported to De banoits. A wealthy Mexican by the name of Sanchez got himself into some kind of trouble some years ago and was imprisoned by the powers that be. While in prison, to protect his ney to his brother-in-law to look after and care for his ranch and cattle.
 Sanchez served several years in the Mexican jalI before he regained his liberty. He returned to his ranch and found it in the possession of a stranger. his cattle gone and every thing he had possessed sold by his brother-in-law. He at once demanded a settlement for the iand and cattle, but the brotherin-law refused and put him of This state of affairs con- unued for some time. Sanchez at last became desperate and organized a par ty, made up of bad hombres, and rode into Bocoachi at the head of an armed force
 He sent a note to his brother-in-law telling him that he had come for set clement and restoration of his money and that if he did not get it he would do some killing. No attention was paid to this demand, or threat, and Sanchez rode up to the door of his brother-in-law's store, dismounted. went in and commenced shooting; by accident his first shot failed in its mis- sion, the others found vital parts of the person of his wife's relation.
 After the last shot was fired, San chez and his men mounted and left town. They took a northerly direc- tion and their trail was taken by a squad of Mrales. Word was sent to Cananea for the police of that town to be on the lookout for Sanchez and his band. For sometime all trace of the renega6es was lost. Finally they were located near George Dunn's camp in the Ajo mountains by rurale. He told his comrades and plan of cap ture was mapped out. For some req Son the police was in no hurry to en- gage in a gun fight with the Sanchez crowd. and when they did attack the rendezvous they founl that it had been deserted and no trail was left which could De foVowea. The outwitted officers were at a JOSS to decide which direction to take and of course they took the wrong one.
 Nothing has since been heard of Sanchez and his band. There are good reasons for believing, however, that they are al present in the United States. for about a week ago an arm eG party of Mexicans was seen coming out of Sonora into Arizona early in the morning and were seen by an Ameri- can who at once reported the strange circumstance.
 This American was near enough to see that they were heavily armed and that they were Mexicans. He counted eight men in the party and from their
