 upper Gila valley thatn was accompan- fed by a fall of hail that was not only
 more severe than anything ever seen in those parts, but was a menace to
 life W. A. Moody. county superintend-
 ent of Graham county is authority for the statement that some of the nail
 stones were three inches in circumfer- l ence. One little boy was severely in- jured about the head and alfalfa and

 HE SAW THE LENA-Dr. G. w i Nickers returned home yesterday morning from San Francisco. where | he went to attend the Knights Templar conclave. The Russian vessel Lena en- i tered that port before he left and pos scssing something of the same curios- | ity exhibited by about 250.Gc0 resid ents | of San Francisco, he fell in line and
 went to see the novel visitor To get a good view it was necessary to take
 a steam launch, when enc could ride ! to within a hundred yards of the Lena, | but all visitors were kept at q safe l distance from the war vessel and q U. $. warship stood close at hand, with torpedoes ready for use in the event any demonstration should be made either by friends or foes of the visiting craft. Government launches patroIled the harbor and kept the line of visitors back where it belonged. The excursion launches reaFed a harvest for a few days after the arrival of the Lena. AN ERIMENT-Jack Gibson,
 John Gibson and others, including Mackenzie Gordon. left yesterday on horseback for the Gibson cattle ranch on New river. For years humani- ar ians have cOntended that roping cattle after the manner of the Arizona cow boy was both cruel as a sport and largely unnecessary even on the range. Jack Gibson, therefore, has decided u experiment in the use Of music as a spelbinder for range stock Music has Teen ~roven to have charms that will Soothe the savage breast but whether
 r will effect the dociIity Of a savage steer and hold him enchanted while Long Jack sears him v-itt q red hot Iron Is yet to be determined The ex- Teriment though, is to be thorough abd | 1T it fails t will be useless for aIfvbc 6v elce to try, for MT. Gordon is to furnish
 the music. He is the best vocalist that ever Diked COW range and if his !
 the New river country to a standstfI science and humanitarianism will have
 another guess coming. FORGOT HER NATIVE TONGUE | The other day there was a preliminary trlaI Of an Indian before U. S. Court
 Commissioner Johnstone. The Indian
 had become mixed up in a transaction
 Tn which it was thought that he had
 offended the. general government. It
 Was difficult to get at the bottom facts even with the aid of an fnterpreter | While the trial was in progress a
 comedy and well dressed Indian girl
 came along and stopped in front of the
 door. She listened to the conversation between the Indian and the interpre- | ter and finally asked the court if she | might speak to the Indian. She was
 allowed to do so and a conversation eu-
 sued The girl stopped to explain to
 the court that she too was a Pima but
 she had been attending an eastern school so long that she had almost for
 gotten her native tongue. But her ac- l qua1ntance with English was excellent | She spoke with fine enunciation and | her grammar was good. She was sI- l lowed by the court to practice upon the | defendant for the purpose of renewing | her acquaintance with the Pima. l tongue. After talking awhile the court | told her to tell the Indian that he was | discharged and he furthermore told her other things to tell him that might at some future time keep him out of jail
 or out of the penitentiary. She laid
 the law down to the erring Indian. shaking her forefnger at him in order
 to impress him with the necessity of l giving heed.
