A Paper Under Difficulties.

We have had TROUBLES of oul
own" ever since we moved THE
HERALD office; but last week we
thought the skies had cleared and
everything promised to move along
smoothly once more.
But, pride goeth before a fall!'
Last week our pressman had a chill
just when we needed him most, our
~roller-boy failed to show up at all,
and with the help of two green
hands we got the paper out later
and more poorly printed than we
have for months.
Bear with us, brethren; we'll get
things Strengthened shortly, we have
hopes.

mons were preached, and the discus
sions ON other subjects We're decid-
eddy interesting and entertaining.

THE RESURRECTION
 OF A CHINAMAN
An Automobile Gets the WO st of a
 Meeting With Bicycle.

l There was a badly scared insurance man in Phoenix yesterday afternoon. He had arranged with a citizen to meet him at Dr. Duffield's office to 1 take an examination. The man had not come at the appointed hour, and the , insurance man seeing the doctors au- ! tomObile in front of the office ask ! ed if he might take it and go after the prospective insured. The doctor eau 1 tiously inquired what the insurance man knew about automobiles. He re- [ piled that he knew all about them; if there was anything on earth that he 1 knew more about than he did about i the insurance business, il was the auto mobile. He said that when he was at home he was always driving about in a Cadillac. He spent the greater part | of his waking hours in it until the ! Cadillac had become a sort of second
 nature to him; he thought he must 1 have been born with an automobile in- stinct.
 The doctor was treasured and the in surance man went away with the ma chine. Tn ten minutes he returned. His face was bloodless, but he acted like man who has the blood of a fellow creature on his hands. 70, My Godi" .
 man. 1 know he's dead. His neck's broken. I could hear the bones grind ing together. Hurry up, doctor, O. you'll be too late"
 The doctor replied that if the mans neck was broken the case had gona beyond his jurisdiction; he had people waiting for him who were yet alive and he would have to serve them
 They had the right of way over the dead Chinaman. The insurance man persuaded Dr. Dysart to go with him
 to the scene of the slaughter and on the way the insurance man kept la
 menting the incident and the
 Appropriateness of it just now
 whe nthe insurance business through
 out the country was just get
 shake down and while the government
 of this country was doing it's best to
 allay the Chinese boycott.
 When they reached the place where
 the tragedy had occurred the Chinaman
 was nowhere in sight. They were in-
 formed that he had ridden away on
 his wheel after remarking Me no
 likee dam chu chu wagon"
 This happened at the corner of First
 and Jefferson street. The insuranca
 man was riding down First street and
 just before he reached the crossing he
 discovered that he was on the wrong
 street and he prepared to turn, swing ing the machine around to the left. The
 Chinaman was coming up First street and thinking no doubt that the auto mobile driver would keep on, he turned to the right. This double and unpre- concerted maneuver brought the ve- hicles together and when the Chinaman saw that a collision was inevitable he threw out one hand and yelled, Hi Xxi vi vi vi" But that didn't do any good. He was tumbled from his wheel and the machine mounted him, rolled him into small ball and stopped

Washington street when d man came out of a store and Lightner recognized him as White. He is a Mexican of light color and with gray eyes and a light mustacke, which had lately been dyed 1 black. The Mexican stopped Lightner and tried to sell him a pony which was hitched at the side of the street. The man and the pony were both rec ognized by Lightner as an outfit he had seen quite frequently of late. He 1 had noticed that the man had always carried a new slicker on the front of his saddle and that ne had always had a Winchester strapped to the saddle.
 The Mexican asked the way to Yberris store and went away. MT.
 Lightner informed Officer Moore
 where he could find a horse thief. The officer had already heard of the man
 and that he had threatened to shoot
 the officer who would try to arrest
 him.. When the officer reached the
 store and approached White, the Mex
 ican went behind his horse and the
 officer, thinking that the fight was
 about to begin, drew his gun. White
 surrendered, but pretended not to un-
 derstand the meaning of the proceed
 ing. He denied that his name was
 White, but said that it was Garcia
 When he was searched at the jail some
 papers were found in his pocket bear
 ing the name of Frank White. He said that at the present time he was living

sQuarely on top of him. The insurance man jumped out and found that one of the front wheels was resting on the neck of the Chinaman who lay ap- parently hfeless. His back hair had come down and lay strown over the ground. It was then that the insur- ance man made his wild flight for a doctor and the bystanders believing that they had no light to touch the body before the arrival of the coroner. merely stood around and looked on. Finally the Chinaman stretched him self, rolled over and got on his feet. It was then he made his observation about chu chu wagons and mounting his wheel, which was uninjured, rode off. The only apparent disastrous re- suit of the meeting was damage to the front wheel of the automobile and the destruction Of the sparker all of which can be repaired at the trifling cost Of $15.

This home, unlike most others of the same name, is not for one class alone but is broad in it's field of usefulness. It is the on-- ly nonsectarian orphanage in Arizona. Many little ones have been cared for within it's walls during the last year and many perfectly honorable and up right girls and women, alone and with out funds, among strangers, have been glad and thankful to avail them mselves of it's shelter until such time as they could communicate with friends at a distance or obtain honorable employ ment Much sympathy is felt for the young men who come here penniless and friend!ess but what about young
