he secured a gun and a bicycle and
rode up town as quickly as possible
after the city marshal The two re-
turned together and searched the vi
cinity, but could find no one. Then
they looked to see where the bullet
struck and found it had penetrated the
lower part of the rocf, spending its
force, so that when it struck the side
of the building it fell back on the de-
pot platform. Mr.. Finley now carries
il for a pocket piece.
Yesterday morning a careful search
was made of the spot where the shoot
err had been secreted and a 45-calibre
cartridge was found where it had fall
len either from the gun or from some
one's pocket. The tracks of two peO-
pie were found leading from the place.
Mr.. Finley cannot account for the
incident in any way except that it was
someone who intended later in the
night to rob the depot, though it is
hardly plausible that anyone engaged
in such an enterprise would be doing
great deal Of talking when he was
where he could hear so plainly.
Arizona republican., 1904-04-18

strange that any one should be secret
ed in that place if his intentions were
honorable and at the same time
thought that if it was someone plan
ming a robbery of the depot he would
rather force the issue and have the
incident over than to be rudely
awakened after he had retired. He
generally carries a gun at night and
without giving the matter serious
thought, in fact without expecting to
have use for a gun, he started in the
direction of the voices to make an
investigation. He did not try to creep
up stealthily as one would who was
looking for an encounter with bad
men but boldly walked down in the
glare of the lamp intending only to
see who was doing the talking and
satisfy what he thought was a very
natural and a very honorable curios-
itv.
When he arrived at the end of the
Illuminated path, about twenty feet of
the place the voices emanated from,
man rose up and addressed him with
an epithet Mr. Finley instinctively
reached toward his hip pocket when
he discovered that he was unarmed.
At the same instant the man in the
dark fired at him and he fed toward
the depot with a speed that was sim
ply marvellous. Before he had left the
lighted pathway he heard the bullet
sing over his head and strike the lower
edge of the roof which projects sever
al feet. He instantly swerved in the
darkness and circling round the depot

SHOT AT FROM AMBUSH
Station Agent at Mesa City Dodged a
. 45.Caliber Bullet.

w. A. Finley, formerly of Phoenix,
bat at present agent of the NJ. & p. &
s. r. V railway company at Mesa
city, had the time of his life on Sat
tyday night and it came near being the
Sime of his death. His continued eX-
istence is due either to mighty quick
dodge on his part or the faulty aim of
g man with murder in his soul and 45
cslibre bullets in his revolver.
Ar. Finley sleeps at the Mesa depot
and just before retiring he went out
side to lock up a merchandise car that
stood near the depot. While doing so
he heard the murmur of at least two
voices in an undertone conversation
across the street from the depot and
under a row of trees that stands along
the border OF an open field. The loca-
ton was directly in front of the depot
door which was open and the light
from the depot lamp shone in that
direction after the manner of a seach-
light. Ar. Finley thought it was

PRATT ACQUITTED
The Jury Reached a Verdict at Eleven
O'Clock Yesterday.

At eleven O'Clock yesterday, morning
the jury in the case Of A. A. Pratt
agreed upon a verdict finding that
Pratt was not guilty of embezzlement
while acting as postmaster at Wick
enburg in issuing two money orders OF
800 each for which he had received 81
each.
There was no doubt that such a tran
saction had occurred and that Pratt
had Issued two such orders within a
week of each other. He said though
that it was a simple mistake such as
had been made in that office before and
that after all the government had lost
nothing, the amount of the discrepancy
having been made good by the post
master. George E. Saunders.
The fact that the government had
been reimbursed seems to have heen
the fact that the jury had particularly
in mind all through its deliberations.
It had had consideration of the case
since four o'clock on Saturday after
noon.
1t was mentioned not long ago b.
The Republican that there was a pris-
oner IN the county Jail who was writ
ing stories for an exclusive eastern
magazine. Neither his name, nor his
pen name nor the name of the maya
zine was given. Since the verdict of
yesterday morning il may not be i'm
proper 10 complete the story and say
that the literary prisoner was a. A.
Pratt, that his non de plume is L i
Tmberline and that the exclusive ma
glZine is Smart Set.

THE MASTERS TOUCH
Sermon by Rev. DIR. Halsey With Illus
trations From "Poem Pictures"

At the Baptist church yesterday,
Rev. DR.. Hadsey preached from Luke.
LIB. He put forth his hand and touch
ed him
He spoke of the touch of power, the
touch of a loving hand a hand which
has more than human strength 20 heal
and save.
Christ came to touch and save:
Christ's people are 70 continue his
! work.
This is an age Of indifference. The
world cares nothing for spiritual
| things; the church is lukewarm. The
/ church SAYS that the world is indiffer-
ent; thelworld says the church is ind:f-
| ferent. Both are right.
! OF old the Jewish people said: at
| is too much to go uD to Jerusalem to
worship How many Christians say:
! at is to much trouble to go to church
/ to worship The world will be won
| for Christ by men who are not luke
warm but hot with zeal for the saving
( of their fellow men.
There is something in humanity
everywhere that responds to the touch
/ of sympathy.
There is need of the exercise of this
personal power in the family, in the
! Sunday school. in the community. First
things should be put first. Often par
ents seem to consider secular education
( and knowledge of the the arts of more
importance than religious education.
| In referring to the power of the par
! emit. the speaker quoted the following

AS far as I see them down the long
street.
They call out to school mates wher-
ever they meet:
From high school, from grammar, from
primary class,
One question floats backward,
Oh, say, did you pass
In fancy at nightfan I enter the door
OF homes of the wealthy of homes of

They scamper with this thing, they

They hand him his slippers. they hang

To mamma and asks: Did the chill

There's kissing and praising and. such
an ado,
There's chatting and laughing to think

But heavy the shadow on homes where

A little child sobbing is taken to bed.

For love fain would carry the burden

And soberly asks: Did we do all we

What pains we'd have taken with lad

HOW TO SPANK A BOY

LYN TEACHER.
Teacher Gives Recipe for Doing It in
Great Style and Also Efec-
lively.
WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT IT

New York, Feb. Lyman A. Best,
president of ne association of 3.400
Brooklyn school teachers, that has
asked the board of education to res tore
their ancient right t opsank unruly
pupils, in explaining the movement
for corporal punishment, describes the
advocate a spanking only as a last re-
sort he says. NO principal relishes
the job Of chastising an unruly boy
Nevertheless. We believe that for their
own good they should be chastised, and
We have petitioned the beard of edu-
cation to repeal the bylaw forbidding
corporal punishment in the public
schools.
Il do not believe in slapping boys
over the palm of the hand with rat
ten. There are delicate nerves and
fib6zs in the hand that are likely TO
sustain permanent injury from being
trick, and the rattan is brutal in
sefament of punishment anyhow.
"zfhe ideal instrument Of punishment
is strip CT rubber hose from which
tie rubber covering has been removed,
leaving the canvas and composition.
This IS light enough to warrant that its
use would be no injury and at the same
time il carries an unmistakable sting
that will last from five to fifteen min
uJes. The proper way to apply it is
to place a boy across a desk with his
face down and let it land with medium
force on the part CT the body easiest to
reach under the circumstances.
