.P|RTLE EASILY ELECTED
MADE SCHOOL TRUSTEE IN DOUG LAS IN SPITE OF BUNCH OF
 Dis6RuNTLEp. .r
Special to Review,


 Douglas, March 31.-The result of the school election here today, when so3 votes were boiled, resulted in an overwhelming victory for E. R. Pirtle by majority of BIT.
 The opposing candidate was J. A. Lewis, who was supported by J. A. Miller. H. C. Beumler ct al, who were completely routed. The opposition 10 Mir. Pirtle, which went down to de- feat today. tried the old dodge often used in this city that E. R. Pirtle was friendly to the Copper Queen inter- ests in Douglas.
 The returns show that this, kind of an argument, which has been worked overtime by every cheap politician in this city for the past two years, has about played out. Pirtle's majority was 317 out of total of S53 votes, and the knockers tonight have taken to the woods.
 The election of Pirtle today has direct bearing on the city election to be held in this city on Monday. This Is the same argument used by certain members of the so-called Citizens ticket in this city against the regular Democratic ticket. It failed to have any effect on Pirtle's majority today and is an indication that the howl of the 'howlers" in Douglas has but lit tie weight with the property owners and taxpayers when they go to the polls 10 cast their votes.
 The entire Democratic ticket will be elected in Douglas on Monday. The school election today is a straw which shows how the wind blows.

CLAWSON GIVES AND
s. w. cLAWsoN OFFERS BLOCK OF GROUND FREE FOR THE
 PURPOSE.
Douglas. Ariz.. Mar. si.-(special)-

Douglas. Ariz.. Mar. si.-(Special)--
 when the time arrived today for opening the offers of ground for a site for the new school building in Douglas for which the bonds have been voted in the sum of forty thousand dollars, It was found that only one offer had been made to the district. and that was from s. w. Clawson, of Bisbee. the owner of the tract of ground ad- joining the Douglas townsite on the east.
 MT. Clawson offers a full block of ground to the school district free of charge, and it is au ideal location for the building proposed. It was thought best for this reason by Mir. Kenyon to accept the offer at once, and so notify Mir. Clawson, so that the deed might at once be made to the district. MT. Pirtle was the only other member of the board present when the offers were opened. and he thought it best to let the matter go over until this evening or tomorrow. when a full meeting of the board could be had. The reason there was no other offer made for a site was no doubt attributed to the fact that there has been a general agreement among the citizens of Douglas that if MT. Clawson offered this site there would be no question about it's acceptance.
 Following copy of the offer sub mitted by Mir. Clawson:
 Bisbee, AriZ., Mar 22, 1906. Mir. H. 6. Kenyon, Clerk School Dis
 trict 27. Douglas, Arizona.

 In making a free offer of this site wish to stipulate that the land is to be used for buildings for educational and that construction shall be commenced before January 1, 1907.

In this hope assist you. and respectfully submit 1 the above offer.
 Yours truly,

Two more box cars were found to be on fire here last night, one at the long siding and one at the reduction works. The first car was found to be on fire about 8 o'clock, and was brought to the water tank and a six inch stream of water turned on it. After the fire was put out waste from the oil boxes was found stuffed under the doors, indicating that the car had been purposely set afire The second car was found blazing about 10 o'clock and an investigation also disclosed the fact that it had been set on fire in much the same way as the pre- vious one.
 The matter is being investigated, but so far no clew has been discov- cred leading towards the discovery of the guilty parties.
 The passenger train from Benson this morning was about an hour late.

CHINESE CRICKET FIGHTS.
How the COmbatants Are Trained and
Fitted Against Each Other.
From the South China Post

From the South China Post
A. +. Parker has just returned from q
trip to San-hui. a large walled city in kwanR-
tung Province. and while there visited the
guard house. where he saw six or seven earth
enware bowls Of fighting crickets.
He was much amused as TO the description
of the methods OF stabling and dieting these
insects. During the day the female and male
crickets are separated. but as soon as night
falls they are mated. Their diet consists OF
water. boiled rice and a little ginseng, the
latter being TO give them stamina
In matching the insects TO fight they are
weigh ed, and a lightweight would not be
pitted against a w~eiterweiEht. The insects
are spurred on to combat with a very fine
piece Of glass, which treatment naturally
rouses their anger.
The belief that crickets are distin Ruished
by pieces OF colored wool Ia a fallacy. They
are recognized by their owners as we recog-
niHe our canine pets. 10 a contest the first
cricket to run away IL adjudRed the loser.
The oficer In charge Of the guard house
mentioned that a dispute which had arisen
over a cricket contest three years a9o had
yet to be settled, each party holding that the
other mans cricket ran away first,
Some OF these crtckets are indeed worth
many times their weight in gold. several
hundred dollars being sometimes paid for 4
real champion.
