poor, states in his report that Mr.. and
Mrs. S. +. Hescock have continued in
charge Of the town farm, and have given
excellent satisfaction in their manage
ment. Thirteen people have been cared
for there. there being five inmates at the
present time. One death has occurred,
that of Charles Paddlefoot. who had been
at the farm more than 60 years. I'm
provements have been made in the farm
buildings. The receipts from produce

an increase of 1891 over 1908, and 7llO
over 1902. This is considered very graft
flying as an indication of increasing
interest In the library and consequent
benefit to the people of the town The
library trustees make fitting recognition
of the services of the late Rev. Patrick
Cunningham, and of Rev r. K Marvin,
who was obliged to resign when he went
to his new field of labor In Massachusetts.

VALE SENIORS WERE NoVIcEs.

At Least They Looked That Way When
the Independents Finished with Them
Score 4e-22.
The Yale seniors were completely out
played by the Brattleboro Independents
Tuesday night, the Independents winning
1922 without half trying. At the outset
both teams made two baskets and it
looked as though the game might be in
teresting but it was not long before the
inequality of the two teams was appar-
ent. The sons of Eli appeared to be
novices in the business and Brattleboro
had no difficulty in keeping out of their
way. At the end of the first half Brat
tleboro led 32-10, and in the next half
the boys played easily. The visitors were
very erratic in shooting and were utterly
lacking in team work. Rockwell, the
Yale varsity foot ball star, expected to
be present, but illness at the last moment
prevented him from coming. Spnney
and Humpstone did Yale's best work.
All the Brattleboro men worked together
well, March, Doran and Ellis eXcelling in
basket shooting Ellis made several
pretty plays. 1t was the first game in
Brattleboro this season in which no foul
was called. The summary:

Looking for Mail Service.

The people of Ashawa, who have
been dependent upon the good ma
ture of travellers and train crews for
their mail for some time, have at
last inaugurated a move for the es-
tablishment of a mail service over
the line of the Duluth, Virginia &
Rainy Lake road. It is understood
the railway wants $500 for the priv
ilege of carrying the mail over the
road for two years, and popular
subscription has been started
among the residents of the section
to meet the demand.

PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION.
Orlando Douglass Bound Over to the
 Grand Jury Without Bail.

The preliminary hearing of Orlando Douglass. charged with the killing of of Pedro Benitas on the night of April 25th, was held yesterday before Jus tice Nelson. The defendant was rep resented by Attorney W. P. Richard son of Phoenix, Attorney w. F. Coop CT of Tucson. a brother-in Jaw of the accused, and Attorney E. B. Goodwin of Tempe The case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney G. P. Bullard of Phoenix
 The greater part of the morning was spent in a wrangle between the coun- sel of the defendant and the prosecu- tion, the former objecting to the ex- animation on the ground that they had waived the hearing and that the de- fendant had a right to await the ac- tion of the grand jury without exami- nation. Their reason for this, while not so stated in court was that they wished to avoid having the evidence of the principal witness. Mrs. Ludeke taken at the present time through fear that it would be detrimental to the ie- fendant whereas if it were not talk en until the case ca~-a before the grand jury. she might at that time have overcome her Trr~ent hate for I be more in his favor. To this the prosecution strenuously objected and asked that the examination be had at once. The decision of .he court was that the examination be post poned until one o'clock in the after noon and .1 the meanwhile that Mrs. Ludeke be held in the custody of an officer and no ore be allowed to hold communication with her
 Sharp at one in the afternoon the hearing began. The court room vas crowded for the case had attracted a great deal of attention and there were many who were unable to 'ild room in the office of the justice.
 The defense made no effort to cross examine witnesses and offered no evil dence whatever. The prosecution call ed Mrs. Ludcke as the first witness. Since she fainted the night of the murder she has been under the care of a physician and was little short of hysterical yesterday. She improved however while giving her testimony and told fairly traightforward story. She was the only eyewitness to the murder and as has already been stat ed. it was on her account that the crime was committed She said that on the night of the tragedy she and Benitas were in the room together and the first intimation of trouble she had was when someone rapped on the door. It was Douglass and he asked her to come out. She replied that she would. Then Douglass broke open the door. how she did not remember. She tried to prevent Benitas going out the door and he tried to keep her in. He insisted. though, saying. Let me out; if he kills me, all right" and before she could get out of the door Benitas stepped in the way and Douglass shot him as he was stepping out of the

door. She said he gave one scrca'n and died instantly. She said there were no words between Douglass and Benitas before the shot was fired at all. The defendant had simply lsked her to come out and she was going to do so. Asked whether or not Be- nitas had a weapon of any kind about him or in the house, she replied that he had nothing whatever. neither be- fore or after he was shot. After the shot was fired she heard Douglass say, ''I killed him; did it. He then ran but she was so scared she did not hear anything more that he said. She immediately went across the road to Joe Encinas'
 Joe Encinas was next called to the stand. He gave the details of his awakening in a much more explicit manner than was necessary, saylag that il was ten minutes of eleven when he woke up and he heard the srot shortly after that. The shot was fol- lowed by a groan and he at once grab bed his revolver and stepped put the back door when he saw Douglass run ming towards the next saloon north of his place. As he ran he heard Douglass say, T killed the - - - He then fired a shot a. the retreating figure which had no effect. He fired the remaining shots in the air to attract attention. He and ,is wife then went to where the 'cad body of Benitas lay.
 Mrs Encinas was then Caliul and with the aid of Marshal Brown as in terpreter, she gave about the sane testimony as did her husband. She. lax- h.s fe. s-ssy n. She told the position of the hands of the dead man as he lay on the ground. saying that the right hand was stretched out and the left was on his breast. She also stated that he had nothing in either hand.
 Constable Sigala was the next wit ness. He testified to having heard a number of shots and arrived on the scene Of the murder while the man's undershirt was still burning from the shot. He put the fire out and went after Justice Nelson and the coroner s jury. He, too, could see no sign of weapon of any sort in the vicin- ity. Dr. B. B. Moeur was the last witness and his testimony simply con sisted in telling of his examination of the body after it had been taken to the undertaking establishment. the To- cation of the wound, that it alone was sufficient to causa death, etc.
 The prosecution here rested and At torney Bullard asked that the defend ant be bound over to await the action of the grand jury without bail His request was compiled with and the hearing came to a close. The prisoner in charge of Deputy Sheriff Cunning ham, returned to Phoenix on the eve ming train.
