SCHOOL RECORD IS BEST IN
 ARIZONA
Phenomenal Attendance of Pu- pills at Local Institutions of leaming-Teachers Leave For Their Homes.

There was probably no school dis trict in the territory which during the school year just closed had as envi- able record in regard to attendance of children of school age as had the Warren District, the figures being an attendance of 1908 eligible children, according to the last school census.
 What was responsible for the envi- able record of the district was un- doubtedly the vigorous manner in which the local school authorities en- forced the territorial statutes regard ing the matter of compulsory attend ance at school on the part of child ren. Tn several cases extreme meas ures were resorted to such as the prosecution of the parents for neglect of their duty in this regard, all of which had the desired Teult Truant Officer Riggleman deerves the high est credit for his actions in this re- gard, as he was always prompt in finding out the cause of non-attend- ance of child who should be in school.
 With the closing of school, the superintendent is now preparing his report which will be submitted to the board of supervisors, and in which the varied school data which is most valuable will be given to the public.
 As has always been the custom the teachers of the various grades who have left the city for their homes in different portions of the country reg istered their addresses with the board of trustees, and this list was made public yesterday. IL is as follows:
 Miss Ella Wagner will be at Mon rovia, Cal.,; Miss Adelaide B. Lewis, Rochelle, H.: Miss Gussie Griggs, Warrensburg,M Mo-: Miss Laura Schlat- terer. Bellevue, Ill.,. Miss Edna A.

NEWLY MARRIED COUPLE FOOL
 FRIENDS
Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Cassidy Succeed In 0utwitting Com
 mittee On Wedding
 Is Quiet Affair,

With only the relatives of the bride
 and few personal friends of the con tracing parties witnessing the cere-
 mony, Miss Ellen M. Reynolds, one of the most popular and accomplished
 young ladies of the city, and M. E. | Cassidy, postmaster of Bisbee and a
 prominent figure in Republican poli-
 tics in Arizona, were united in the
 bonds of matrimony yesterday morn
 ing at St. PatTick's Roman Catholic
 Church. and are now on their way to the great northwest, where they will
 spend their honeymoon.
 In accordance with the wishes of the
 contracting parties the wedding cere-
 mony was just as simple as it could possibly be. Accompanied by the best
 man. Dr. John Hagan, the groom ar rived at the church a few minutes after o'clock, and about ten minutes
 later the bride and party arrived. Ac- companying the bride were her father and mother, Mir. and Mrs Thomas H. | Reynolds, and her sister, Miss Inez Reynolds. Rev. Father Muerer per formed the ceremony, which occupied
 only very few minutes, and then said a nuptial mass for the bride and groom.
 Immediately after the mass was con cluded the marriage was recorded in
 the church records, and the newly | married couple were driven to the home of the brides parents in Tomb
 stone Canyon to prepare for their trip. At 7:30 the party again con
 vened in a private dining room in the Copper Queen hotel. where an elabor- lyFn n@4 During the course of the breakfast
 Mir. and Mrs Cassidy bade their
 friends good bye, saying that they had
 to catch the train which was about to go, but on arriving at the entrance of ! the hotel entered carriage which was waiting for them, and were driven
 to Naco, where they caught the west
 bound train. " The wisdom of the happy couple in
 not boarding the train at the local de- pot became apparent, when, a few
 minutes before the train left a crowd
 of their friends arrived on the scene
 with all of the necessary parapher-
 nalia to see that every one along the | line of travel would know that a new 1 ly married couple were on board. The
 chagrin which was stamped on the
 faces of the various members of the
 committee, when they found that they
 had been outwitted. furnished great amusement to the bystanders.
 The marriage of Miss Reynolds and Mir. Cassidy is looked upon by their many friends as one of tifs happiest
 unions that could possibly be made.
 Although Miss Reynolds has only been
 resident of Bisbee for a comparative i ly short time. she was without doubt one of the most popular young ladies in the city.
 Mir. and Mrs. Cassidy will spend | several weeks travelling in the north west. visiting Seattle and other points of interest. and after travelling east to Chicago will return to Bisbee, to take up their residence in Tombstone Can yon.

Late Saturday even ing. while the little boy was at play, he was taken violently i'll. All the physicians in town were called into consultation Sunday, but failed to de- termine the disease. From the symp- toms and large swollen spot on the body it was decided that he was either bitten by poisonous spider or a tarantula. Everything possible was done for his relief, but in vain and death resulted in the afternoon.

mer first vice president OF the New
York Life Insurance Company and
now IA member Of the firm Of J. +.
Morgan & CO., has sent to the New
York Life his personal check for $54,-
O19 to reimburse the company for the

made from its funds In 1904, In con-
nection with which MIR. Perkins re-
Gently was made defendant on charge

Announcement of the restitution OF
the principal of $4S,50O and interest
to date was made to-day by Pfesi'
dent Orr of the New York Life. to
whom Mr.. Perkins yesterday ad
dressed letter inclos!ns the check.
President Orr also gave out the letter.
In it Mr.. Perkins declares that in
dismisslng the criminal proceeding
against him. the court intimated that
the campaign contribution was not OF
proper corporate purpose. He again
declares he was acting upon request
of the then president of the New York
Life when he advanced the money 10Y
the campaign contribution in 1904. and
SAYS when the president reimbursed
him there was no thought on the part
of either of any personal advantage,
but a belief that they were acting for
the best and broadest interests OF the
policyholders, both at home and

Culpepper, Va-After being out one
hour and a half the jury in the case of
James and Phillip Strother, on trial
for the murder of William F. Bywaters.
returned a verdict OF not guilty at
1l:10 a. m.
When the jurymen finally filed in the
room the silence was intense.
Gentlemen of the jury asked the
clerk, have you agreed upon your
verdict?"
handing the verdict to the court officer.
I'VE find the defendants, James and
Philip Strother, not guilty" was the
message read by the clerk.
The announcement was the signal
for an outburst of approval which
Judge Harrison quickly silenced.
James Strother reached for the hand
of Mr.. Moore, one of his counsel. and
Philip was quietly surrounded by
their friends. Mrs. James Strother,
overcome by emotion, fell forward into
her husbands arms sobbing and eX.
claiming her thanks.
When the effects of the critical mo-
ment had passed Judge Harrison ad'
dressed the jury as follows:
Gentlemen of the jury. thank you
for a verdict which think will be ap-
proved by the people. 1t is an estab-
lished precedent in the state OF viz
ginia that no man tried for defending
the sanctity of his home should be
found guilty"
After further words of approval
from the bench the jurymen left the
court room.

Omahr, Neb.-In retaliation for ad'

ABE RUFF ARRESTED.
Special Officer Has No Difficulty In
Locating Him.

San o.-Abraham Ruef, the
local political boss. who, for three days.
had been In hiding to evade an order
of arrest issued by Superior Judge
Dunno, was taken into custody Friday
night at the Trocadero, a secluded sub
urban resort near the ocean beach.
The arrest was made by w. J. Biggy.
elisor of Judge DUNES court, and De-
tective Burns, who is aiding Assistant
Attorney Heney in the work of prose
cutting alleged municipal "grafters
Ruef submitted as gracefully as posi-
BILE to arrest and was brought to the
city in an automobile. His custodians
stopped for an hour at the office of Mr..
Heney while Ruef was left in the auto
mobile under guard. He was later
taken to hotel and will probably be
detained there over night.
1t is said that his captors declined
to take him to Jail on account of the
intimate political and friendly rela.
tions existing between the sheriff and
the prisoner Ruef will be taken to
Judge Dunne's court in the morning.
This was not the only sensational de-
velopment in Fridays proceedings IN
the Ruef case. Samuel NJ. Shortridge,
attorney of record for Ruef. incurred
a severe rebuke from Judge Dunno dur
ing an examination by Assistant Dis
trict Attornew Heney into the incom-
potency Of Coroner Walsh, appointed
by the court as substitute for the dis
qualified sheriff O'Neil. to locate and
arrest the indicted politician.
Shortridge persisted in an enort TO
enter objection to question put by
Heney, and would not be silenced by
the court, who finally adjudged MIN
guilty of contempt and sentenced him
to twenty-four hours imprisonment IN
the county jail.
Shortridge, however. escaped imme'
diate incarceration by applying to the
District Court of Appeals for writ OF
habeas corpus on the. ground that no
| contemDt had been committed.

time night had fallen. A number of

lions, and great department stores
were hurriedly closed. The strikers
demand the fulfillment of the promises
20 improve their condition, which they
claim were made them last July
The company that supplies electric
ity was recently accorded concessions
by the Municipal Council, and it now
refuses to carry out certain resolu
tions passed by that body under which
the electrical workers are granted an
eight hour day and old-age pensions.
The men are eXasperated by what they
characterize bad faith on the part of
the company. and now claim recogni-
,ion as employees of municipal de-
partment, including vacations, pay
while they are sick and the granting OF
pensions at specified age.

So when the legislators passed The

Governo. Sheldon hesitated to sign 'be

with his prediction course. But
when he considered that without
his signature the law. which the petf

it rather than place himself in the ~ay
