SARAH KOTEN IS
 HELD FOR MURDER
WOMAN WHO SHOT DR. MARTIN w. AUSPlTZ IS REFUSED BAIL BY CORONER HARBURGER-sHE DOES NOT REGRET THE ACT.

New York, June S.-Sarah Koten, the young trained nurse who lured pr. Mar tin W. Auspitz to house in Harlem last night by false telephone call and shot him to death, after she had lain in wait for him for many hours, declared today that she had no regret for her act. T shot him, but I did not murder him., she said in cell in the police station. 'I killed him because he had wrongei me and then refused to help me. I tried to punish him in the courts but found myself powerless. My father and mother are dead so l had to protect my honor myself"
 Miss Koten wept as she told her story in coroner's court. She said she came to America from Russia six months ago and secured a position as nurse in Dr. Auspitz' office last November. pr. Aus pitz, she declared, visited her room at the hospital and assaulted her. When she found that she was to become mother she said the doctor suggested a criminal operation, but she refused to permit it and left the hospital
 T had no friends and no money" said
 
 could not get work because of my con- dition I procured a lawyer and had Dr. Auspitz brought before the court of gen. eral session. Ma witnesses were discred- eral session. My witnesses were discred- he was acquitted I was advised to go to the district attorneys office. There I saw Assistant Attorney Krotel, and he told me that inasmuch as the case had been tried there was nothing more to De done.
 Then" she continued, q decided that if I could not get justice in the courts I ould be my own avenger l could have killed him in his own home, but I feared to do that lest I should injure someone else. So I decided to call him into that hallway. I waited and waited and then he came I fired the shot"
 Coroner Hamburger held Miss Koten without ball.

SETTLEMENT TO BE
 MADE IN PEACE
BOUNDARY DISPUTE BETWEEN HONDURAS AND GUATEMALA WILL BE ADJUSTED WITHOUT BLOODSHED OR STRIFE.

Puerto Cortez, Honduras, June 1, via New Orleans, June S.-A peaceful settle ment of one of the disputes most threat ening to the tranquility of Central America was begun yesterday at Ocote- peque, Honduras. This dispute was the Honduras -Guatemalan boundary question, both countries claiming the ownership to a big strip of rich land on Honduras northern frontier
 Commissioners from both Guatemala and Honduras met yesterday at Ocotepe- que to begin a survey of the disputed ground In case this survey does not re- suit in an amicable settlement, the two republics have agreed to submit the question to the court of magistrates of the five republics at Cartago This court is one of the results of the Washington peace conference of Central American countries
 So bitter has this boundary dispute been that no later than last winter was the doubtful territory occupied or watched by armed men whose governments were making every preparation for war.

MISSIONARY EDUCATION Should Begin In Public Schools, Says the Rev. M. w. Ennes.

Clifton Springs, N. Y, June S.-A sug- gestion that the missionary educational movement should be begun in the public schools and continued in the colleges and churches of the home land was made by the Rev. Morris w. Ennes in an address at today's session of the International Missionary conference.
 "If we had 100 missionaries at home who had the physical power to make five addresses a week each" said MT Ennes, ''it would take 15 years for them to speak to the population of the United States on missionary subjects once."

TO MAKE PIONEER DAY
 MEMORABLE.

A praiseworthy effort is being made among the pioneers here as well as others, to make Friday, July 24th, a memorable, as well as an enjoyable day in Mesa. Aside from the horse races and other athletic sports which are scheduled to take place on CuiyvT' road, arrangements were perfected on Saturday by Elijah Allen to have an international meet of the Indians at Drews park on that day representing the Apache, Pima, Maricopa and Pap ago tribes. It is understood that the show will be on quite an elaborate plan. and many attractions will be gotten up for the entertainment of those who attend. Games and Indian races will be booked. including some of the most unique ones which are participated in among the Red Men; many of them being peculiar to their respective tribes

Profess sor LOper will also visit several of the large schools in the east
 Mir. Steward is busy repairing the desks at the ward school on the cor ner of Center and Second streets and is taking off some of the hieroglyphics and defacements. As soon as this work is completed, they will be treated to a coat of varnish, and during the coming fall term a strenuous effort will be made to have the youngsters not repeat this.

CANTALOUPf GROWERS
 HAVE DONE VERY WELL
Taking Into Consideration Conditions
 At Home and Abroad.

While the prices received for canta- loupes this season by the growers in and around Mesa have not been what would be called top notchers." the Mesa growers, when the conditions now prevailing in the east are taken into consideration, as well as the con ditions which prevail in the different cantalOupe districts are summed up. it will be readily seen that the local growers have not received the worst treatment by any means, as regards to prices.
 When the Arizona cantaloupes en- tered the markets, the California growers had flooded the eastern mar kets with their products, and it is es- timated that two thousand car loads have been shipped from the Imperial and COachilla valleys alone. and these were made regardless of the prices which would be received for them. This was practically the condition when the cantalouDes from this sec ton were put on the market and now they are close competitors to the mel ons from Georgia, Tennessee. Texas and other southern states The grow CTS here will more than break even on this years crop. which is more than can be said for the shippers and grow CTS from a large portion of the other melon growing districts

ELEVEN YEARS FREEDOM
 OF ESCAPED CONVICT
The Sensational Capture of William
 Sherlock at Nelson Last Saturday.

P. ]. Farley in a telegram from Will Hams to the Prescott Journel- Miner described the end of an eleven year chase after an escaped convict as fol- lows:
 With pistol pressed to his abdo- men by Lieutenant Olds, Frank Sher- lock, alias Charles By, recognized as a convict who rode away from the New Mexico penitentiary on the war den's horse exactly eleven years ago. exclaimed: Guess you got me, kid .'' and qeitely surrendered.
 He was delivered into the custody of Captain Christman of the New Mexico penitentiary at ' o'clock to- night and immediately started on the overland train for Santa Fe, where he has two years yet to serve on a four years sentence for horse stealing.
 Sherlock was betrayed by a fellow convict whom he discharged from a position with the Grand Canyon Lime and Cement company at Nelson. Ari- Zona, where Sherlock had taken a contract. Sherlock, since his escape. has lived an exemplary life. For eight years he has served as a deputy sheriff of MOhave county and in that time has run down many desperate criminals. He is a dead shot with pistol and led a posse which followed murderer Tom Kinney through Death Valley seven years ago. Kinney had murdered another deputy sheriff of 'Mojave county. The posse reached Bakersfield two days after Kinney had there killed two officers and had been killed himself in a desDerate fight. Sherlock also served four years as live stock inspector of Mojave county.
 Aware that Sherlock was a dead shot, Lieutenant Olds, accompanied by Ranger H. F. Woods, met him casu- ally at the Grand Canyon Cement cOmpany's camp. Olds introduced Woods and while the two men were shaking hands, Olds stuck his pistol against SherlOck's stomach and cried:
 Hands up, I have a warrant for you, :"
 Sherlock calmly replied as his hands went up: Guess You got me, kid"
 Woods disarmed Sherlock of a huge. pistol and extra clip cartridges, while OiuS CoNtItu llliil NllH d tOthtu gun. Sherlock had been living with a Mrs. Palmer. and at his request he was taken to the woman's home. Sherlock seemed very much affected.
 Guess I've got to leave you, little wOman,' he said; these fellows have got me"
 If you are coward enough to let them take you, go on"
 For the first time Sherlock weak ened badly and wept bitterly as the officers took him away. He admitted he was the man wanted and said he had quit crooked business long ago. and wanted no more of it. He request ed the rangers to speak a good word for him. if possible. when they reach ed the New Mexican officials.
 When greeted by a Journal Miner man at Williams and asked if he was deputy sheriff of Mohave county. Sherlock answered:

THE DESERT LAKE OF WATER.

Parties driving in from the desert yesterday morning report heavy rains as having fallen there in the past two days. Water is standing in great lakes in many places. and also on the des- ert in great pools. II has now been more than a week since the rains first appeared on the desert, and the grass on the ranges has grown remarkably in this length of time. Feed however has been plentiful all the season and with the additional growth which will result from the present rains will place the cattle and sheep grazing there in fine condition for the fall markets.
