 were smiling. just a little. for the
 prowess of Mingo had made him
 hero. Jim picked up his knife.
 Two dollars for this,' he said, pai-
 pably laboring with the demon passion
 of poker.
 | The other glanced 1t over critically.
 and counted out dollar and 25 cents. With grunt of anguish. in which
 was mingled an acent of potential vengeance and unwarranted confidence in his final ability to win his treas- ures back, Jim began once more to play. This time the issue was forced by the willy Mingo, and the betting rose till so cents got into a single pot. Jim even won a hand, and raked two dimes in with a grasping claw. It seemed to him that his fortune had changed. The bucks and squaws closed in, and the day was growing old. Finally. with an Indian oath. the captain hurled his last wee coin plump down by his knife.
 He was Abusted fiat" Looking about the circle, the loser found pitiless array of eyes upon him. Ohl for just a doliar--a dime anything! He knew that his luck must
  come back if only he could get another chance. The passion was burning out his very heart:
 He snarled out a fierce. defiant offer of last desperate stake. which reiscd a murmur of appreciation and enjoy ment. and caused the eager crowd to close in even more. Only the women laughed, and theirs was a weak and silly simper.
 The smooth, emotionless Mingo dealt the cards as if the stakes were as lit- tie in value az a couple of thimblefulls of water.
 It was brief and sharp that final hand. Captain Jim held formidably. With the wild. unthinkable abandon of a player poker-mad. he tossed his whole gleaming pile, which summed up 50 cents, to the fore. what you got?' he yelled triumph antly. He threw his cards on the cloth, face up. exhibiting three jacks. a deuce and a four-spot. Mineo said no word at all, sbut mere- | ly laid four kings in sight. with a whoop of rage Captain Jim shot up. Two or three quick. nervous self of every stitch of clothing upon his person.
 He had lost everything he had on earth, down to the very buff. A howling chorus of laughter and derision burst on the air. From the midst of his people. like a wild. scared thing, the utterly naked Indian bound
 ed away for the sagebrush that lay to- wards the setting sun. Against the sianting light his figure cut moving silhouette, until he seemed to merge ] in the distant and radiant west, flooded | with beams that clothed anew his dis | appearing form.

CITY BRIEFS.

The new offices of Babbitt Bros., which are about the finest in the southwest, are about completed. Joseph Backman is now engaged in putting on the finishing touches, and they will be ready for occu- pany in about two weeks. The cable cash carrier system and inte- rior telephone and all modern con veniences will make this one of the most complete department stores in the territory.
 City Councilman w. J. Watson was called to Los Angeles Sunday by the serious illness of his mother. We regret to announce that that estima1le lady passed away on Monday at her home there. Mrs. Watson was 69 years of age at the time of her death, and leaves a family of grown children to mourn her departure. She has resided in Los Angeles for twenty five years. MT. Watson has our sympathy in the terrible loss he has sustained.
 Cattle Inspector Dougherty and Joe Fisher had a little trouble at Lockett's tanks. in which guns were called into sight, but not used. It seems that Fisher has fenced the tanks and objected to Dougherty watering some stock there. After little persuasion, in which Dough erty's gun played prominent part, Fisher put up his cannon and al- lowed the men to water their ami mals. He then came to town and filed a complaint against Dough erty, who was taken before Judge Harrington and acquitted.

The base ball game between Flag staff and Winslow resulted in a score of II to in favor of the home team. It will keep the visiting teams busy if they expect to get a slice of the money on the 4th. Char ley Hart, who was catching for Flag, suffered a badly split finger, and it is doubtful whether he will be able to play again this season. Some of the boys who are coming home from college in the next few days will be valuable additions 10 the team.
 At special meeting of the city council on Saturday last, it was de- cided to offer to the A., T. < s. F. By. through MT. Percival Lowell, a site for the proposed tourist hotel, togther with the very lowest rate of water and taxation. Mir. Lowell laid the matter before President Ripley, who in turn asked what the town would do in the above matters. The decision of the coun- cil was transmitted to MT. Lowell by wire, and it is hoped that it will have the desired result.

Commencenent Exercises.
 Great interest has been mani tested in the commencement exer- cises at the Normal this week The following are the members of the class of 1906: Miss Bullard, Miss Blakemore, Miss Smith and MT. Charles Stemmer
 On Monday evening the class day exercises were held at the Audi torium and the many friends of the graduates gathered to hear the ex- change of repartee between the members of the senior and junior classes
 The music by the Normal orches- tra and Glee club added greatly to the occasion, and the solos by Mrs Douglass and Mrs. J. E. Rains were greatly enjoyed. }. .. ., .-..s-,.
 The burning of note books on the campus was one of the features of the evening.
 On Tuesday evening the hall was crowded for the contest in elocu- ton. Mr. Steamer captured the first medal, while the second medal was awarded to Miss Fairchilds. Their selections were rendered in an able manner and showed that a great deal of time and attention has been devoted to the cultivation oi the art during the year. Miss Irene Johnston. of the class of '08, favored the audience with violin solo. Commencement exercises proper took place on Thursday night, and after an address by Dr. Stephen A Northrop, of Los Angeles, who chose for his subject "Five Foot Eight o Trained Specialists,' diplomas :, were awarded the graduates.
 The reception by the graduates Friday evening was we'll attended and an impromptu program wa' rendered and refreshments served Extreme Care1essness.
 On last Friday evening at sever : o'clock it was discovered that tn, reservoir from which the city draw its water supply had gone dry ant it was feared that something hae happened to the pipe line from thu spring. Investigation proved tha ' the stand pipe in the reservoir wa . stopped up with sand and the hov n of water was as usual as soon al !, the debris was removed. It seem
 very careless on the part of som one to allow this to happen, as ther' were about two million gallons o water in the reservoir day or tw' previous to the accident, and thu diminution of the pressure should have been noticed on the meter 8 the city hall. Had a fire broker : out at the time nothing could hav' saved the town, as there was n' water in the mains at the time thu water was discovered.

other things are coming to light
lately that have caused the public to
take notice, but in the desire to show
its great love and affection for the city
fathers it wfthholds this great discov-
cry from the public. Other tricks .
are being planned, so says the prophet
fc Times, and when these tricks which,
1t now sees arising before its startled
gaze, Ire a gnost from the tomb, IL
is going to throw aside its pend up Sc
crecy and make another expose. the
Times in its great greed for gore
oversteps the rules of propriety whe1
it says the members of the City Coun-
Gil are honorable gentlemen in their
private lives but will countenance and
uphold public steal in their public
capacity. We hold that they are equal
Iy honorable and reliable in both
places.
Councilman Shaw said to the West
virgInian today that he did not ex-
pect to receive fair statement of his
public actions made in the Times ard
that there were personal reasons why
such treatment was accorded him by
that paper.
While exposures are being made 1t
can be pointed out where some en-
croachments upon the rights of the
public are being made by the people
that are very busy. in pointing out ne
faults and imaginary mistakes of 9TH
ers and 1t may be that some space
will be given to these matters later.
