A DESPERATE STRUGGLE
One of the Participants to Be Tried
 Today.

District Attorney Bullard will go to Mesa today to conduct the examina- ton of Pedro Gomez, charged with try ing to kill another Mexican by the name of Ulan in the course of d quar- rel in which both of them narrowly es- caped death. The affray took place at the old Irwin adobe east of Mesa last Monday night Gomez emerged from the encounter with marks of shot on his temple and other marks on his hip, showing where the main charge tore away his pocket. The knife of Gomez pierced the side of Ulan and it is not certain yet that he will recover.
 Gomez was the aggressor, reviving an old quarrel.
 On Monday night Gomez visited the place where Ulan was staying for the purpose of getting some blankets he had left there, and in getting them off the wagon scared a horse and Ulan made an angry remark, and Gomez be- ing under the influence of liquor re- in kind. Finally Ulan ordered

A MOTHERS PERPLExITY
How the Child That Was to Visit
 Grandma Was Picked Out.

There is in this city a good woman
 who is in d deep quandary. She is
 the mother of two babies who have
 reached that wonderful age when they
 can be transplanted from the native
 soil long enough to visit grandmother.
 Naturally grandmother is keen for
 these visits, which can only come once in a great while as she lives as far away as the sea- Naturally, tCo, gland- mother, although possessed of all the courage of a grandmother's love, is equal to only one of these cherubs on an occasion. They are a sort of Heav- nely Twins who believe in the Strenu- ous life to the roint that drives one to speculating on the advantages O. race suicide. Yesterday grandmother sent all the way from the sea for one of these cheruGs and it devolved upon the mother to decide as to which should go Left to the babies each generously decided to forego to the other the priv ilege of remaining at home to comfort poor mamma" They offered no solu- tion. So the unhappy mother Went about all day wondering. First she would prepare the clothing of one of the children only to afterward per- suade herself that this one was too lit- tie to be away from her for weeks at a time. He might even forget her! Then he belongings of the other would get

Gomez off the ranch. Gomez refused to go, saying that he had as much right there as Ulan. and he threaten ed the old mans life. Ulan went into the building and got his shotgun. Co., meg, who had knife in his hand, started for Ulan, whereupon the latter emptied both loads at Gomez, without however. doing him any injury. Go- meg made d rush for Ulan and the lat ter slipped and fell backwards, but before he could rise again Gomez was upon him and stabbed him in the side, just below the point of the heart The men then struggled and finally Ulan got the better of Gomez in spite of the wound in his side. Then a struggle for the gun eEsued, but Gomez secured possession of it and as it was not load cd Gomez gave it to a Mexican woman living at the ranch.
 The. affair was investigated next day by Justice F. T. Pomeroy, who ordered the arrest of Gomez.

as far toward the beach as the suit case when the mother would reflect that this one was old enough to sit up and notice and that it might indeed notice some particularly awful thing not at all necessary to it's ultimate con- firmation. An inspiration on the part of the babies themselves finally saved her. Is it not written, Out of the mouths of babes?" One baby said: If dranma won't let me come home when l want to. I'll cry until mamma hears me." The other pouted her lips and said with great show of decision, If she will not let me come when l am
 tired there, I'll just not say a word; I'll slip my things out and walk and walk
 until I get home" This last is the
 baby who goes.

A MEETING OF BROKERS
A Phoenix Man Secures Two Hours
 From J. Pierpont Morgan.

"Why. man alive, I'm Jack AaSlard in disguise"
 That is what Dad" Spooner said last week when taking the part of mill lionaire. Now, the twentieth instant of next month it will seem to New York City that J. Herman Aasaard is a very great man indeed, for on that day no less a man than J. Pierpont Morgan will receive the audacious young Phoenix broker for two hours This will serve Mir. Aagaard well, be- cause he desires about five million dol lars for a wonderful mine os which some of his afiuent clients are possess ed. It will be benefit to Mir. Morgan, who has begun to dabble in mines without any of Mr. Aagaard's valuable experience in that great study. Mir Morgan is full of ambitions like MT. Aagaard and if he listens to the Ari- zona broker he will get a good mine and five million dollars worth of min ing experience. MT. Aagaard is a phil anthropist who will not mind throwing in his experience because it is really favor to him to receive five million dollars in a lump for his clients.
 If anyone imagines it an easy
 
 hours even when he is inspired with the most benevolent intentions toward that gentleman he could get light on the subject from MT. Aagaard, who has worked for three consecutive months on ways and means to make MT. Nor gan q wiser and richer man through the medium of ]. Herman Aaga9rd and his clients mines. Letters galore went into an unSraciOuS waStcba S- ket. Finally an influential intermedi- ary was successfully approached and through his good offices the trick was turned. MT. Morgan said, half an hour" Mir Aagaard whistled eff time was money I'd be a millionaire" and then raised MT. Morgan's bet. It was to be two hours or nothing. He could not travel to New York to make an- other mans fortune unless the other man was willing to have his fortune made. Morgan like Barkis was willin' and Aagaard will tackle the giant op a gigantic scheme in September

1t was cloudless morning that broke
| The sun had never shone so golden: the
trees had never looked so green nor the
whole world SO fair.
Alicia was up and out with the first
rose streals of dawn. She gathered the
roses-great armfuls of them-and
| smothered the rooms in their fragrance.
All through the day she went from

was perfect on this-her wedding day.
The hours sped by on gold wings.
Afternoon came and went: after awhile
| gray shadows crept up and choked away
the pretty pink h>ze. and one by one the
stars came out again
Alicia drew the shutters close and sat
down in her favorite spot by the window
| overlooking the road that wound up to
the gate.
Presently the sound of a horses impa-
tent gait broke sharply into the still
ness. She rose with little glad ex-
clamation and ran to open the door.
Outside, man was just in the act of
dismounting. Alicia peered eagerly
through the darkness; then suddenly
she drew back with a startled heart
throb. 1t was a stranger who came rap
idly up the flower path! In one hand
he carried a riding crop. in the other.
her strained eyes glimpsed, apprehen-
sively, an ominous white envelope

ing it into her extended hand. and dis
appearing before she had time to collect
herself.
When he had gone. she tore open the
letter with fingers that trembled beyond
her control. For a moment the words
danced and blurred before her eyes. But
in little while she had Gained herself
and read:
My Dear Alicia: Call me a coward,
a liar, a scoundrel-what you will. Ide-
serve it all. Last night meant TO tell you
everything. | came back on purpose to
tell you, but-well, could not-then.
My family have discovered all about our

After this, it will, of course, be out of
the question for me to marry you, even
though I've both know that he was to
blame. My dear girl. absolve you from
all possible harm in this matter. feel
toward you just the same, but pride and
success and life are before me, and you
will understand I am providing for
your future; you will never lack for any
thing. I send you $50 for your present
seeds"
For a minute the woman stared DULY
at the paper; then she crumpled it in her
hands. and her head dropped forward
on her breast. ooh, my God" she cried,
brokenly. "he can pirate to me of pride
and success and life, when there is honor
and woman's broken heart lies at his
feet!"
