Witches and massacres! Wouldn't IL De awiui
In place Of the spiritual Thanksgiving the great
American game holds sway, and people who go
to church are the exception.
How could this soulful-eyed creature in her pris-

tacle spread out like an animated picture before
her far exceeding her widest day dreams of dis

Surely the duckng stool would be ready for

What would she say could she witness the

modernized according to present day ethics, with
its array of sparkling silver, glass and mysterious
illumination?

In France, where they know how to dress, and
where economy has been elevated to art, no
self-respecting woman would appear outside her
own house, if there was speck of mud in the
streets, in dress that touched the ground. In
Germany where one is housewife first and a
woman afterwards, it would be heartbreaking
spectacle to the neighbors if one saiintered out
casually in the morning in dress that did not
betoken the stern business of catering for ones
household by being held high from the street
by steel arrangement that fastened round the
waist.
In Spain and Italy, those women who do not
drive in carriages all wear skirts to their ankles,
and you never see the American lady tourist

would doom its women to sloppy untidiness OF

not be shocked by the sight of wellturned

Green for Weddings

Green is one of the favorite colors of the mo-

several smart weddings lately and one bride

embroidered round the hem and her net veil
bordered with green myrtle leaves.
The veil itself was Of deep cream, almost,
indeed, coffee color. This is a noval departure
in wells, though several brides have had touches
Of delicate green introduced on their wedding
robes.
White ostrich boas are likely to come prom

BITTEN BY A SKUNK,
7. c. Freyer and Wife and E. J. Fuller
Bitten by Skunks While Sleeping.

One night last week at their camp
near Marshall's lake Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas G. Fryer, while sleeping
we're bitten by a skunk. Mr.. Freyer
was bitten on the right cheek, and
the animal mad to be pulled away by
Mrs. Freyer, who was bitten on the
left hand.
They came to Flagstaff and left
for the Pasteur institute, Chicago.
for treatment for hydrophobia. The
skunk which bit them was captured
and taken to Chicago. The skunk is
not known to be what is called a
''hydrophobia skunk" and it is hoped
that this may be determined at the
Pasteur institute.
One night last week, E. J. Fuller OF
Pine, ella county, who was on his
way to Flagstaff, was bitten on his
right hand by skunk. The animal
was caught and killed. Whether the
skunk was of the hydrophobia kind
or not is not known, but Mr.. Fuller
decided he would take no risk and
left for the Chicago Pasteur iusti-
tute for treatment.
In the past number of persons
have been bitten by skunks and in a
number of instances, those bitten
died of hydrophobia, and a number
haye been treated at the Pasteur in
Stitute.-COCOninO Sun.

served to fill the town with excite

WONDERED if the Cananea riot had
spread to Solomonville. Their lib.
erty was short-lived, however as they
were all captured before getting out
of town.
The men had been sent to the back
of the court yard to empty slops and
while there attempted their get
away. Jailer Sands called to them
to stop and discharged his revolver
several times, but they kept going.
Two ran into Treasurer Clark's yard
and started across the open field
towards the railroad. By this time
Undersheriff Richardson was OF their
trail with d rife, and a few close
shots fattened them out on the
ground like tortillas. The third man
succeeded in getting as far as the
Quinn place east of town, where he
was hiding in a shed when captured.
The trio was brought back and
shackled together for safe keeping.

new ESTIMATE OF
CANANEA DEAD.
Col. McClintOCk Places Blame of Riot of
Last Week on Socialists AeItatOrs
From United States.

The estimates sent out from differ
ent points concerning the death list
in Cananea seem to be entirely too
conservative.
Col. James H. McClintock, who re-
turned from Naco last week, while
not caring to make an estimate as to
the death list made a statement to a
preventative of the Gazette that
indicates that it is very heavy.
Colonel MCClintock based his state
ment on a report made by Colonel
KosterlitZsky who says there are 40
dead including seventeen Americans.
Col. McClintock did not go to Can
anea but at Naco it was impossible
for parties familiar with the Ameri-
can population of Cananea to figure
out more than five dead. In one
brush twenty-six Mexicans we're
killed and after another nineteen
dead were picked up.
Perhaps the most important fea-
ture of the whole thing said Col.
McClintock, twas the fact that the
Americans at Cananea, those en-
ployed in the stores, smelters and
elsewhere, were the force upon which
the Mexican authorities depended
for the preservation of the authority
OF the Mexican government and the
maintenance of law and order.
"The Americans who crossed over
from the north side had no share in
the fighting with the exception of
about twenty men who were taken
over from Naco by the Greene COM
pany and who were serving as guards
1.-THE Mexicans of the Cananea
district, as is very true generally in
Mexico, were and are a peacea BILE
sort of people. They are not blood
thirsty by any means but for a long
time they have been worked upon by
socialistic orators from the United
States and by number OF Mexican
agitators who sought any pretext by
which they might injure the Diaz
government.
"They managed to persuade a num-
Der of Mexicans that they were be-
ing very badly treated and that the
wages of $3.50 day, silver, should
be raised to the gold standard, the
same as Americans are receiving.
Most of the Mexicans struck and
possibly one-fourth of them Joined in
a mob and paraded the streets.
They did no damage to speak of,
though, outside of the burning of the
lumber yard at Mesa. Reports of
the dynamitiDg of property were
fakes though a short time ago an at
tempt was made to dynamite the
residence of an American superin-
tendent.
Soy. Ysabel and Col. Kosterlitzsky
now have the situation well in hand.
The streets are being patrolled and
every man with arms or raising d
disturbance is being arrested.
