TOOK WATERMELON
 Is FATALLY SHOT
Mexican Boy Killed in Watermelon
 Patch Near Tucson by Owner-Claims that He Fired Shots in Air to Fright
 en Away Boys--Arrested for Murder.

A young Mexican boy named Mateo Rodriguez, residing in this city, was shot and almost instantly killed last night in watermelon patch located in the northeast corner of the old Grosetta ranch, three miles northwest of town. It is alleged by the police that Estanis- lado Lucero, who is now under arrest, committed the crime, says the Tucson Citizen.
 Rodriguez and another young man, who has not as yet been located, were in the melon patch helping themselves, when their loud talk and boisterous laughter was heard by Lucero, who has been employed on the ranch for the past month. Lucero entered the ranch house and, securing a large .44-caliber Win chester rife, started for the melon patch. Although it was nearly clock he could faintly see the forms of the two young men bending over among the melons. He fired to frighten them away he claims, and at the report of the rifle both trespassers sprang to their feet and made way across the country. Lucero then, thinking that he had disposed of them for the night, entered the house, replaced the rifle and re- tired.
 At 10 o'clock this morning the body of young Rodriguez was found by pas sersby at least two hundred feet away from the spot where he was standing when Lucero fired the fatal shot. Jus tiee Riehey was immediately notified, and with coroner's jury went to the scene of the killing. A ceraful examin- ation of the surrounding country re- vealed absolutely nothing, and it was the opinion of the authorities upon re- turning to town that the killing was mystery which it would be difficult for them to unravel.
 Sheriff Pacheco later investigated and after some time spent on the scene ran across Lucero in the ranch house. The young fellow was questioned and ad- mitted to the sheriff that he had fired shot at two intruders last night, but did not believe that either one of them had been hit. He was placed under ar rest, brought into town and is now in a cell in the county jail.
 Later he was seen in his cell in the county jail and denied absolutely all knowledge of the crime. He went fur ther and denied that he had ever con fessed firing the shot to Sheriff Pa cheeo.
 Both Lucero and his alleged victim. Rodriguez, are young men living in this city. Lueero is married, his wife and family residing here. The young man who was murdered is single, resid ing with his mother and father in Tue son.

CORONADO STAGE LINE
 SOLD FOR LARGE SUM

The Clifton Copper Era has the fol lowing to say of George B. Gamble, who has quit the Gila Valley to make his home in Globe:
 The Coronado stage line changed hands last week, George B. Gamble hav- ing disposed of the business to the county treasurer, Ben Clark and his brother, W. F. Clark. The consideration
 is reported to have been $S,0O0 and in the future the business will be under the management of w. F. Clark. The sale included stables and equipment, to- gether with the franchise. MT. Clark has conducted a butcher shop at Solo, knoxville for some time, which he will most likely dispose of. Bill Perry, who has been managing the business, has been in bad health for some time and was compelled to be away most of the time. Mir. Gamble is one of the old timers of Graham county, having resid- ed in Clifton many years ago. He is an ex-sheriff and treasurer and has lived in the valley the past eight years, where he has acquired one of the best farms in existence, which, it is reported, he contemplates selling, preparatory to leaving the territory. He is now en- deavoring to sell out everything. His presence will be greatly missed by his friends, who extend from one end of the county to the other.

Editor Cleaveland to Wed

The Era has noticed that Editor Cleaveland of the Leader has been mak- ing frequent visits to Denver, at least that is what he would tell his friends, but, as usual, he has been located, and instead of him going to Denver, he has been spending his time at Naco, busily engaged making arrangements for a proposition, which we hope will make him happy all his life.
 Upon a recent visit to Naeo it was learned through friends that Mir. Cleave- land and Miss Bailey, a sister to Hon. N E. Bailey of Cochise county, were to be married in the near future. Fred is pretty smooth fellow and succeeded in misleading his friends, but everybody is now on to him and the Era would not be surprised to hear of the ceremony taking place in the very near future.
 Mir. Cleaveland first met Miss Bailey during the session of the Twentyfourth legislature, when he was diligently rep resenting his county in the upper house. At the same time Hon. N. E. Bailey was the speaker of the house, and his sister came from the good old southern state of Georgia to spend the winter months at the capital with her brother and sister. Mir. Cleaveland found time from his legislative duties to be a ire quent visitor at the Bailey household. Cupid, who was on watch at the capitol building. fired several we'll placed ar- rows, as proven by the announcement of the engagement. The exact date of the wedding has not been set, but it is whispered that it will be long before Santa Claus comes.-Clifton Copper Era.

AsIATICs ON THE PACIFIC COAST

Dispatches from British Columbia in dieate that the temper of the residents of that province of the Dominion is ris- ing on the issue of invasion by the Jap anese and against the imperial govern ment s natural refusal-in view of its treaty relations with Japan-to ap- prove of such anti-Asiatic legislation and executive action as the province repeatedly has proposed and now wishes to pass again and enforce. The situ- ation is complicated the more by the emigration to the province of Hindus seeking employment, who, encouraged to leave India to seek higher wages and serve the imperial interests in South Africa and in Asiatic centers of Brit ish capital and industry, are now on their own account journeying across the Pacific to the Canadian portion of the empire, to still further complicate the labor problem there.
 Nor is this all. They are finding their way into our northwestern states, and are thus giving intenser pertinency to resolutions which are being passed by Pacific coast trades unions against the "Asiatic" laborers, which term hith- ertO, of course, has meant mainly the Chinese, but which more recently has come to include the Japanese also, and now must be enlarged to include the native of British India.
 If British statesmen, in adjusting the differing points of view of imperial good will toward Japan and British Columbia opposition to the Japanese, are called upon to do a pretty piece of administrative jugglery which may not always succeed in keeping three balls in the air at the same time, so we also must bear in mind that the coming of native of British India into our labor field involves us, compels course of policy by us more discreet than we sometimes have shown in dealing with China.

COPPER QUEEN SHUTS
 DOWN TWO FURNACES

Yesterday two furnaces were shut down at the Copper Queen shelter for the purpose of overhauling and repair work. There has never been more than nine furnaces going regularly at the Queen plant. One of the cranes in the shelter building is also out of commis- sion for repairs, having been going con- stantly ever since the plant was erected, says the Douglas International-Amer- ican.
 It was learned today that during the season of repair only six or seven fur naces would be kept going.
 The closing of two or three furnaces and the stopping of one crane will nec- essarily reduce the working force of the company and it is understood to be the policy of the company to retain the men with families as far as possible.

Salvation Army Harvestival

The Salvation Army has become one of the institutions of this town and neighborhod, while its work literally reaches from pole to pole, it is, there fore, interesting to note that special eff forts are to be made locally in connect ion with the Harvest Festival effort, to enlist sympathy and financial support for the many and varied enterprises of the Army. A few statistics will help our readers to realize what they are. The Army carries on its operations in fifty-two countries in the world, preach ing simple gospel of salvation for all in thirty languages. There are l5,007 officers and cadets wholly given up to the work, and no less than 44,41S local officers and 1S,500 bands men, who work hard without fee or reward and contrib ute very largely of their small means to the necessities of the war against sin and evil The social side of the work, which everybody, of no creed, must admire, is so vast as to be indes- 'cribable in short paragraph; it em- braces practical assistance for the starv- ing and helpless; labor, homes, farm col onies, institutions for deserted women and children, etc.
 The special effort which is now being put forth in connection with the Har- vest Festival gives one and ali an op- portunity to help both in the local and national work.
 The citizens desiring to assist the Salvation Army in this effort will kind ly request solicitor to show their ere dentials signed by Captain A. Oliver. All checks should be made payable to the Salvation Army.

There are a great many people who have slight attacks of indigestion and dyspepsia nearly all the time. Their food may satisfy the appetite, but it fails to nourish the body simply because the stomach is not in fit condition to do the work it is supposed to do. It can't digest the food you eat. The stomach should be given help. You ought to take samething that will do the work your stomach can't. do. Ko- dol for Indigestion and Dyspepsia, a combination of natural digestants and vegetable acids, digests the food itself and gives health and strength to the stomach. Pleasant to take.

pices Of the Athena Club.
The great masterpieces Of painting
have profoundly Influenced the
thought Of the world. They have beer
the inspiration for poets without mum
Der. Through and through the lit
erature Of our day there runs, like q
golden thread, a continuous reference
to these geat works, and to the artists
who created them; and so it has be
come a necessary part OF a liberal edu-
cation to know something concerning
them-sOmething more than personal
more vivid than mere reading car
give. An actual knowledge OF the
picture itself, or its Photographic re-
production, is the only satisfying way
Of informing ones self.
The travelling art gallery gives tc
the pupils Of our public schools, and
to the general public, an easy means
OF securing such knowledge
We believe there are many people
in GOodland and vicinity who viii ap-
preciate this opportunity, and the
members Of the Athena club are very
glad to bring this collection OF pic
lures to Goodland and share them
with all who wish.

Blind Boone, the noted colored
piano artist. was greeted by g large
audience at the Walker opera house
Saturday night. Boone traveles under
the management OF John Lange, who
announced the program OF numbers as
It was rendered and was assisted by
Miss Emma Smith, a pleasing soprano.
Blind Boone was the whole show
during the first half OF the program
He PLAYED both diRcuit classical Sc
lectfons from "the masters" and also
popular selections and songs. Boone
IS a remarkable man in some ways
He runs TO memory and the mechani-
cal art OF a thing rather than to the
science and underground thought He
says he never forgets anything-al-
ways remember q mans name and
even the press Of a hand-shake- When
ones sight IS gone, the memory steps
in to supply the defect so Tar as
possible, and the memory thus be
comes perhaps the most prominent OF
the mental powers.
Miss Emma Smith sang, way
Down Upon the Swaunee River" with
very pleasing effect, and was recalled
the second time.
The circulars, advertising the Blind
Boone company, has this to say con-
corning the great cOlored pianist:
Blind Boone was born in Miami,
Saline county, Missouri, in the federal
camp, in 1854, Seventh militia, his
mother being a contrabands cooking
for the soldiers. He lost his sight
from brain fever when six months old.
His first instrument was a tin whistle,
on which he could play any ordinary
air after once hearing it Next he
was presented with a mouth organ
by which he charmed the whole neigh
bOrhOOd-children coming from Tar
and near to hear him. He soon be-
came the favorite OF all who knew
him, and visited the best families in
Warrensburg, where he then lived.
CHis home at present is Columbia,
MOI People formed such an attach
ment for Boone that he was sent to
the St Louis school for the blind to
learn a trade and to be educated. This,
however, was a failure.
"Once hearing q pupil in the insti-
tute practicing on the piano, he left
his work, and stole to the piano, as it
was impossible to keep his fingers of
the keyboard. He soon became able
to finger out several pieces, and It
anything else. He was dismissed from
school and wandered around St
Louis, making his living by playing on
a mouth organ, and such instruments
as he could get his hands on. Con-
duCtOr A J. Kerry, seeing the pitiful
condition Of the boy, put him on the
train and sent him to his mother. He
soon organized a little company and
started on the road, tramping and
beating his. way from town to town.
His company consisted Of a player on
each, a tambOurine, a triangle and
mouth organ, by which they gave con-
certs on the streets. He was not
successful, however, and endured
many hardships- A colored gentle
man, John Lange, Of Columbia, No,
taking a liking to him, put him IN the
Sunday school to play for the chill
dren. He also made a contract with
his mother to educate him in music
and put him on the road. He has been
very successful in pleasing his audi
ences, this being his twenty-sixth sea-
SON.
