DEAF AND DUMB, YET GESTURES PEACE
Gets Too BoiSterous and Is Fined Despite His
 Being Afflicted.

The idea of deaf and dumb man disturbing the peace seems trifie be- yond credence, and yet that Is exactly what a Mexican was fined for yester- day in Judge Burdick's court
 The dusky one was out with num- Der of companions who were making the night hideous with their celebra- tions, and was caught sn the drag-net of the law with the rest of the crowd
 The eourr~had time in communi- eating to the defendant the fact that he had been sentenced to seven days. as he could not talk. hear, read or write. After two or three officers s---S< ~ 9----- judge crossed the fingers of his hand and made the bars of the jail. He next held up seven fingers, and then laid his head on his hands and closed hss eyes.
 The Mexican at once understood that he was to go to jail for seven days, and as many nights must he sleep there. So far as known, this is the first case in the records of Co chise county where a man who was dsaf and dumb has been guilty Of the offense of disturbing the peace.

PLUM PuDoINes FOR
 ALL THE WORLD

LONDON, Eng, Dec. 5.-The plum pudding industry, of which England has monopoly, is enjoying its usual boom with the approach of Christmas. From London tons of festive pudding find their way all over the world at this season of the year. Many are ordered as Christmas presents for friends in the United States Many more go to Canada and Australia, South Africa and other parts of the British empire. One leading firm, ac- cording to report, sends abroad each Christmas more than 300 tons of plum pudding, amounting to about 100, ,000 buildings. The old custom of putting a three-penny bit in the family pud- ding has of late years developed into a very expensive fashion. Costly jew elry and ornaments are now often in- serted in the heart of the pudding

MEXICAN BOY STABBED.

In a difficulty between two Mexican boys at the South Bisbee school, one of them was wounded in the breast. The one who did the cutting at once took to his heels over the hills and has not been found. Fortunately the knife which was used did not pen citrate very deep, otherwise the young fellow would have lost his life as the wound was directly over the heart. As is usual among the Mexicans, the one who was cut refused to state how the trouble originated, only stating that they had been playing and that the other fellow had become angry. Both of the boys were about Fifteen years of age.

 WASHINGTON. D. C., Dec. 5.--The administration, from the information which has been received In Washing ton during the day, and since the pub lication of Senator Foraker's letter, believes the action was prompted by the senator's realization that he can not return to the senate.
