Tax Levy for GiIa County 3,30, Thirty Gents Higher Than Last Years Rate.
RESULT OF THE ANTI
 GAMBLING MEASURE
New School Bonds Also Cause of Increase in Rates, as Is the Largely Increased Cost of the New Courthouse.
From Wednesday, s Dailyl

The tax levy for the county of Gila for the ensuing year has been fixed by the board of supervisors, now in ses- sion. It is $50, higher by 80 than last year s. The increase was necessary be- cause of the abolition of gambling in the territory primarily. Last year the revenue from gambling in Gila county paid all of the school expenses and left the sum of $l5,OOO in the treasury. Even with this falling off in the revenue the tax rate would probably have not been higher but for the fact that bonds amounting to $40,000 were voted recent ly for two new schoolhouses in Globe.
 The following is the manner in which tEe levy was made:

DEvOURED EGGS
 IF G|LA MONSTER
Almost Unbelievable Tale of Cochise County Startling Effect Caused by an omelet of Gila Monster Eggs and a Sad Death.
(New York Tribune)

After a round of hos weather stories from the sitters on Meditating" Mi. ehael's bench, in City Hall park yes terday afternoon, Non -Assessable '' Smith, who "went broke" in mining speculation, spoke up:
 But that ain't nuthin to what l run across in the shape of hot weather down in COchise county, Arizona, twelve years ago.
 ''I had for a pardner a man named Bolger-Bil Bolger-and he was pow e.fully addicted to the use of ardent spirits. We'll, we was up in the Ora goon mountains, not far from the Black Diamond camp. when me an Bill run out of grub. went to Black Diamond for supplies, leaving Bill to run our prospect
 "0ur shack was on a flat rock. While I was gone a greaser came along and sold Bill some eggs-fresh eggs, he said Bill was drunk or he would "a knowed better, but be bought the eggs, an as he was nigh famished, he made ready to cook them.
 By accident he dropped one of them eggs on the rock, and it was that hot that day that before he could serape it up it was fried to a turn. That give Bill an idea. He took all the eggs and broke 'em into one glorious omelet After leaving them on the rock for if teen minutes in the sun they was done
 "When I got in about 10 O clock that night, Bill was all doubled up an a groanin'. I seen the reason for it as soon as I seen the egg shells, and l knew Bill hadn t long to live. Y'see, instead O. them eggs bein' hen s eggs, they was Gila monster eggs, and deadly p isen.
 "I hustled for doctor, but it wa mt no use. Bill was dead before midnight. When we came to lift him into pine box we had the surprise of our life. He weighed about sixteen hundred pounds.
 "Well," continued Non-Assessable Smith, five was knocked plumb silly about his weight till the doctor got to loolin him over. He seems to be ossifed, sez he.
 [" I've noticed it on Bill before, sez I.
 q mean scientific ossi6cation, sez the doctor, gittin mad
 "It was all mystery to us till we took him to the Copper Queen assay office in Bisbee The engineers found that all but 172 pounds of Bill was gold--95 pure.
 "Ye see, them eggs done it. Bein the eggs of a Gila monster, they was full of cyanide, and the rock on which Bill fried the eggs was gold bearin :. The cyanide in the eggs got in it's work and drew the gold out of the ore, so that Bill was a cyanide plant full of gold when he got the eggs down.
 "That started a rush of people ex- tractin' gold by the new process, but the eggs soon gave out, and they had to go back to the old way. I inherited Bill 8 carcass, an ever since then I've been on Easy street--at least ain 4 done a tap of work, :" said Non-Assess- able.
 After a long pause Michael said:
 "We believe your story, especially the last part"

DREAM SAVES FORTUNE.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13-Had it not
been for a dream, Max link, chef
of the Fordham university, would
have been out $4,000. For 25 years
link has been in the one position.
He has saved his money, but he al
ways pooh-poohed the idea of
banks, The professors of the uni
versity, his other friends and the
police often warned him against
carrying so much money around
with him, but he always laughed at
them. The other night he dreamed
that he was held up and robbed OF
all his savings. The dream was so
realistic that as soon as daylight
came he rushed off to the bank with
his coin. While returning he was
held up and beaten into insensibili-
ty, but the highwayman got only
SIT. The police subsequently To-
Gated the man who robbed him
one Thomas Mcmahon.

as soon as the jurors absence was
explained. 1t is understood Mrs.
Bolton is in precarious condition
with pneumonia.

Superintendent Huntington, Of

him to engage, also the numerous
detectives under the command of

the company believed there was
no further need of the specials and
had let them out.

that he understood they were carry

the particulars. Several of the con-
ductors were watched and were
seen with suspicious-looking bulges
in their hip pockets.
Chief Of Police Waller stated that
the carrying of firearms was
against the law and If the carmen
were armed and without police au-
thority he would prosecute any so
found.
There seems to have been a fall

and the company. Swain Is said to
have referred to Huntington as a
"hook-nosed old fool" and Hunting
ton to have expressed his entire
contempt for Cap" Swain.

afternoon DR.. Evans was recalled.

He said Thaw's head was abnormal
