A Cutting Affray

On Monday afternoon in Justice Crawford's court one Fanny Porter was bound over to await the action of the grand jury on a felony charge. The crime with which she was charged was the cutting of one Joe Velasco on Saturday night,
 May 19, in this city. The evidence tended to show that the Porter woman had used a knife, or some other sharp instrument, with which she had cut a gash some six inches in length on the throat of Velasco, necessitating the taking of num- Der of stitches. Little credence was given by the district attorney to the statement made by the woman under oath, and in his remarks to the court he requested that she be held to the grand jury, asking at the same time that the principal witnesses for the territory give a bond in the sum of $500 on their own recognizance that they will be in the county to testify at the next term of court The justice, after having heard the testimony. held the defendant in the sum of 5000 bail, failing to give which she was taken to jail at Flagstaff.
 The attorney also stated that he had received direct instructions from the attorney general of the territory to hereafter require wit nesses in cases of this nature to give bond for their appearance, it being obvious that otherwise there would be the possibility of the county having the expense of main- taining the accused till the session of court, at which time it was also possible that they might have left the territory and the accused would have to be released because of lack of prosecuting witnesses.

The Iron Printer

We notice by the last issue of the Coconino Sun that a Simplex type setting machine has been installed in that office The fact that the machine has been installed does not seem to have made any appreciable difference in the looks of the paper. There is nothing like buying all the latest labor saving inventions-if one has the price-and the Sun now ought to get a machine which will grind out local copy for the machine operator to set. The WILLIAMS NEWS is still set by hand, and will so continue indefinitely ; yet for all that it publishes more local news than all the papers in tle county put together. We don't mind working, and it takes plenty of work to get out a reada- ble paper. We are thinking of in- stalling a cylinder press on which to print our paper, owing to the in- creasing circulation, the press we have now being also operated by hand, as it will give us more time to set larger amount of local news by hand. The local news is what the people want. Not knowledge that a lot of reprint and patent med cine notices are machine set. Read the NEWS. it is hot from the hand, and not dead like. machine pro- duction.

Killed a Mountain Lion

On Monday last George H. Bar ney. one of our we'll known cattle men, accompanied by his son, Roys came in from the M. c. ranch. bringing with them the hide of a mountain lion which measured just seven feet in length.
 It seems that on Thursday of last week, while Roy was riding the range near the ranch, he saw a number of horses acting in a pecu liar manner and looking toward a clump of bushes. Investigating he found a colt that had just been killed, and he had evidently scared the lion from it's repast. Upon tell ing his father they took out some No. 4 wolf traps and set them about the carcass of the colt. Some time during Friday the lion returned and on Saturday when MT. Barney went out to look at the traps he found one of them gone. Following the trail of the clog through the brush, George, who had dismounted, came suddenly within few yards of the lion before he saw him. Hav- ing left his gun on the saddle he quickly made back tracks and Sc. cured the weapon. with which he returned and ended the animal.
 Upon examination it was found that the lion had been caught by two toes only of one of his front feet. That he was an old timer and had been in many a hard pitched battle was evidenced by the number of scars, some of them just healed over, on the hide.
 Mir. Barney will probably have the hide mounted after securing the bounty on same.

ART OF LITERATURE
DIR. RICHARD BURTON DELIVERS
 ELOQUENT LECTURE.
First ef q Serles Under Auspices of Tfntagil eInb-Cultured Audience
 Heard the Famsus Scho1aF.

Dr. Richard Burton of Boston. writer. philosopher and critic. delivered the 7rst of series of lectures at the su- ditoriunf of the Girls High School last night, to q large and representative audience of the literary people of Montgomery
 Dr. Burton is in Montgomery under the auspices of the Tintagil Cub. one of Monfgomery's brightest clubs of literary women. and the cordial recep- tion accorded him last evening evi- denced the interest in literature and art that is felt in this city.
 Hr. B. J. Baldwin. in few charac- teristic remarks. punctuated with ap- plause. introduced Dr. Burton to his audience.
 The subject of his lecture was Lit erature as Art" and for more than an hour he held the closest attention of his audience
 He spoke first of Alabama's gifted poet, Sidney Lanier. paying him a beau tiful tribute and expressing his pleas ure at being among the friends and kindred of the man whom he has so admired.
 Of books. he said Every book is a piece of Life personally seen and ex- pressed-it is life plus personality.
 Tt has meaning because 1t express es the authors view poinS his philoso- phy: and 1t conveys the meaning by a moral, hence it involves technic-a way of doing it. In other words. literature is Art"
 He said that the world of readers care little or nothing about the art of iiterature-and it was not only nat ural but right that it should be so. for 1t is Life in which people are interest ed--life in books or out of them
 4 great temptation of writers is to forget this and come to think so much of the art as to go to the opposite extreme.

A strong point made by Dr. Burton was that in literature as in the dra- matic art. the problem of the writer is to secure an effect of reality while doing much that is artificial
 Not reality. but the effect of real ity-a sembiance-a seeming truth Is the end desired.
 Life offers the raw material: the art of literature consists in selecting and adapting and representing actuaiity as to give a sense of life, while lending a new significance to it-a sense of beau ty. Of symbolic meaning
 He said that literature respects the tastes and morality of people. there fore. no writer can. with impunfty. re- peat with exactitude life as he finds it.
 The literary artist. he satd. must make life interesting. beautiful and alive if he would succeed
 Behind every literary performance. there must be . rational interpretation hopes power, beauty and grandeur must emerge from the treatment
 He drew comparison between the works of Tbsen's -Hedd Gables and Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet"
 There is a general law, according to Dr. Burton. that applies to all making of literature and there is a special law for each kind of literature
 He spoke Interestingly of the themes applicable to the different branches of literature-poetry-t drama and the essay-giving illustrations in each case and making his points with, crystal clearness-
 In concluding his lecture he spoke strongly against losing the man in the artist and gave striking illustrations
 Robert Louis Stevenson he said was both man and artist .'Of our own age'' he said. with rapid increase of those who are beginning to appreciat> literature, it is saIutary to have a sense of the necessity of art: but the creed of today inclines us to overlook the moral obligation of literature, to cry up art for arts sake and to lose sight of the fact that all literature worth the name must interpret life in terms of power and beauty: must be wholly in touch with humanity, otherwise 1t is but plaything. a cult, or a disip- ation.
