one day and there are now about forty men there representing large capital and preparing to operate on an extensive scale. There is said to be the best surface showing for gold in that vicinity of any. known place in Arizona or New Mexico and the Colorado men are going to see wheth- CT or not the rich values can be found at depth.
 NEWSPAPER RoBBEO-Between the hours of 10 o'clock last Sunday evening and 8 o'clock Monday morn ing the safe in the office of the Will Hams News was robbed of a sum of i money amounting to over $500. En- trance was had through the. front door. the perpetrator of the burglary evidently having key that fitted the lock. The proprietor of the paper was at work during the evening. and it is possible that when he left the building he failed to set the combina- ton to the safe The robber, after gaining access to the room, extin- guished the incandescent light which is left burning during the night, the burnt ends of many matches showing that he used them in lieu of the electric light. The work of forcing the cash drawer was not difficult matter, and it, with the entire con- tents, was taken. The money was nearly all in bills. although there was some coin in the drawer and two money orders for small amounts. The cash drawer taken has not yet been found.
 ELIGIBlES WANTED-There will be civil service examination on De cember ? to secure eligibles for num- Der of positions in the government service. One will be for a male tele- phone operator at $4SO per annum, in the penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga. age limit 20 years or over. Another will be the position of laboratory aid, female, qualified in plant pathology in the bu- reau of plant industry. department of agriculture at s60 per month. Age limit Y to 9 years. The position of aid in the various branches of the bu- reau of plant industry offers many advantages to young persons who are desirous of taking up certain lines of special or scientific work either in the department of agriculture, the state experiment stations, or elsewhere. The preliminary training, practical, theo- retic, and scientific, to be obtained while serving as a laboratory aid will be valuable to any young person who has taste for scientific work in agri- culture or who contemplates taking a course at some agricultural college While the pay of an aid is necessarily low. as in case of all inexperienced workers, in comparison with that of persons doing a higher class of work.

fine PROGRAM
AT THE butler

The Butler theater presented an
exceptionally good bill for the change
OF program last evening. Miss En-
NETT is again able to appear and was
given hearty welcome. She rem
dered Floating Along in a very
charming manner, for the opening
song. The first picture, "The French
Spy is view of young girl who
attempts to take message through
the lines and dons mans clothes for
the performance of her duty. She
has many hair-breadth escapes, but
finally succeeds. The song, Fam
ella" is Spanish song of high class
and pleases everyone. The next pic
ture is burlesque of Weber & Fields
great act, Captain Kidd" 1t is very
laughable throughout and is enjoyed
by both old and young. "The Songs

and Miss Emmett certainly scores Al
hit in her rendition of it. The next
picture is that of Jerusalem and Its
Inhabitants. This is a view that
shows that famous Biblical city to.
perfection. Every portion of the
scenery shown is very clear and very
interesting. That Mother-in-Law Isl
a Bore" is very comical view of a.
distracted son-in-law. He finally en-
lists the services of a friend, who
fares very disastrously with mother
in-law. Like the Rose, You're the
Fairest Flower" is very beautiful
ballad of exceptional merit and never
fails to call for an encore The pic-I
ture following. entitled "Playmates. n
is very good view of little grit
and her pet dog. The dog is almost1
of human intelligence. In one parsl
of the picture the girl is taken vio-s
lently Ill and fears are entertained
for her recovery, and the dog comes1
to the bedside and assumes an atti-|
tude OF prayer. MASKING the NASH
er" is very funny view of a gentle
man who tries to make an acquaint- Il
ance with a couple of young wome II
who happen along and they hurry
away aud inform their husbands OF
the circumstance. The result is that
they plan together and give the
masher more than he was looking1
for. The whole performance is onei
of credit and is certainly deservingI

VICTORY PERCHEs ON THE BAN.
NER OF THE NOBLE
BIRDS.

i Yea, yea! Verify, but it was 4
great day for the Eagles.
With score of II to 8 the Eagles
defeated the Elks in the annual game
of baseball Sunday at the California
Heights diamond. And such game.
Both teams had been practicing fo~
several weeks, but you wouldn't have
guessed 1t by the playing. And the
/ decisions. While the umpire was
good on balls and strikes, his knowi-
edge of the rules of the game was
somewhat limited.
/ Yet 1t was a good game at that
Both batteries did excellent work and
number of the players made some
! star plays.
| The day started off with parade
OF both organizations, headed by
Judge Brissell and w. K Wise, who.
in their official capacity of water
boys, had right to be at the head.
They also had a goat at the start.
but before they had proceeded great
distance the goat evinced desire to
travel in the opposite direction, and
as the parade could not be turned
around, his goatship was turned over
to one of the spectators, who, with
several empty tin cans, coaxed him
to the ball diamond
The first ball was thrown over the
plate by Sheriff J. j. Owens, who
acted as grand marshal of the da1. |
That is, the ball went about fifteen
feet over the plate. 1t was auctionedI
off by George Thatcher to Bob ProutvI
who wanted 1t as souvenir, as he
had visions of the ,Elks winning the
game. Stung again, Bob. After the
game he sold it to Jim Hayward for
fifteen cents. And then, before one
of the largest, crowds that ever con.
gregated at the California Heights
grounds. the game started. 1t was
hotly contested by both sides
throughout the entire game, but the
Elks We're no match for the Eagles.
The kangaroo court did a rushing
business and Judge Schmidt handed
out justice, at so cents throw. with
a lavish hand.
A return game is expected to be
played on Decoration day, and if bota
teams agree to meet on that day they
