SAD ROMANCE ENDS HAPPILY
 IN OLD PUEBLO
Young Girl, Brought to Deaths Door, Is Married by Man for Whom She Gave Up Every thing.

TUCSON, Aug. 2s.-Quite a TO- nance came to a pathetic end yester- day with the death of young Mexican girl by the name of Rita Felix, after a short illness, from meningitis.
 Two years ago a Mexican by the 1name of Crescencio Urvina made love to little Rita, who was then 1t years of age, and, after the way of q man with a maid, far too often, persuaded her to leave her home ana go away with him without the formal ity of the sanction of the priest and the church. From that time until recently they have been living to- gether in this city. All was not rosy by any means, but the love of the girl for the man endured in spite of every thing and she never showed the least desire to return to the home she had left Uryina is hack driver in this city and, according to all accounts, had always taken good care of the girl he had lured away from home.
 Some time ago she began to suffer from a slight attack of tonsilitis. Ur- vina went to Dr. Morrison, who pre- scribed for the case and thought no more about it. Uryina carelessly de layed in getting the medicine for his companion and it was several days before she had any relief
 But the neglect had been fatal and. as frequently happens in such cases, the apparently trivial tonsilitis de veloped into mengitis- Alarmed be yond measure, Urvina hastily sum moned Dr. Morrison again. This was some time last week.

Little Rl.a continued to grow worse until Sunday evening. Then t was that prvina began to feel renaorse for lis conduct toward the girl and ahsne. he hurried to the office of Major Neustatter, wao is the acting clerk of the probate court, and secured a mar, riage license. He told Undersheriff Henry Meyer, who is an acquaintance. that he felt that he had done the girl an injury. that she had been faithfui to him for two years, and that now that she was sick and perhaps in dan ger of death, he wanted to make II right. Armed with the license and having secured the sanction of the church, he went down to the home at 7S South Meyer and there Rita fl- nally became Senora Urvina.
 No one knows what the sensation of the little Mexican girl was, but even though her mind may have been put at ease and the mental injury cured, it was too late for the physical good. Dr. Morrison had seen that the case was hopeless and she slowly sank. finally passing away yesterday morning.
 The late marriage enabled the girl to rejoin her church in good standing and the ending of the pretty little sto " win be a quiet funeral in the ca thedral and interment in the sacred burial place Of her church. It is as neat and pathetic romance as has been enacted in the old Pueblo in InEny day.

The Journal of Albuquerque Explains Its Position in
 Coming Campaign,

The Albuquerque Journal, the lead ing newspaper of New Mexico, which has always been a supporter of the republican party in that territory, has this to say regarding W. H. Andrews, the republican candidate for congress: {:
 That there may be no misappre- hension on the part of our readers with regard to the course of the Morn ing Journal in the present campaign, we deem it our duty to give the public plain statement of the facts in the ease:
 Tt is unnecessary for us to say that we opposed the nomination of Mir An drews as vigorously as we could, for several reasons which We regarded as satisfactory. It is not necessary to repeat here what those reasons were. The most of the people of the terri tory know them, and those who do not can inform themselves by consulting the files of the Morning Journal-and they can be assured, at the same time, that there is nothing therein set forth pertaining to the matter that We have any desire to retract.
 We endeavored to the best of our ability to impress upon the conven-. tion two facts: First, that it was highly important to the cause of state hood that a republican delegate should be elected this fall and, second, that the nomination of MT. Andrews meant the election of a democratic delegate But the convention saw proper to nom- mate MT. Andrews-or, to put 1t in terms literally correct, the machine forced his nomination. And now, let the machine elect him."

 A force of men was put to work on the new strike at once and two miners were able to take out half car the first day. More miners have been sent to the camp and shipments will begin at once.
 The ledge is perfect contact and is so soft that It can be taken out with picks. Much of the ore is so soft that it crumbles when brought to the sur face. From the work which has all ready been done very little powder had been necessary and some of the ore is so full of mineral that it bends without breaking. As fast as this body is opened up miners will be add ed to the force to rush out the ore. The ore can easily be carried down the side of the mountain to wagons in boats and slides.
 The Bisbee-Sonora company has three ledges on this property within ] 250 feet, .one being fourteen of con centrating, on thirty of shipping and the largest. which the tunnel is now being run to encounter. The tunnel known as the upper tunnel, is now in 250 feet and should cut the ledge at any time.

STREETS GREAT FEAT
 IN CATCHING BALL
Dropped From Top of Wash ington Monument on the
 Thirteenth Attempt.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.--Baseball fans from every section of the coun- try have developed a lively interesl in the lofty Washington monument since Catcher Street of the Washing ton American League team accom- plished, after thirteen attempts, the remarkable feat of catching a base bah dropped from a. little window five feet below the capstone of the shaft and 550 feet above the ground.
 We'll known ball players have been anxious to try to equal Streets feat. but 1t is not easy to get permission for such an attempt, and no one has sue ceeded. Some interesting figures have been compiled regarding the force oi impact and velocity of the ball caught by Street.
 Impact 200 Pounds.
 The impact against the eatcaer's mitt is estimated at 200 pounds. The velocity in the last second was tre- mendous.
 Street used the ordinary catcher's glove.
 At the end of the first second the ball had been dropped 16 1-2 feet.
 A the end of the second second it had dropped GA 1-3 feet.
 At the end of the third second it had passed over 154 3-4 feet.
 At the end of the fourth second it had dropped 257 If feet.
 At the end of the fifth second it had dropped 301 feet.
 At the end of the sixth second it had dropper 435 feet.
 At the end of six and three-quarter seconds it had passed $50 feet.
 The stirring scene was witnessed by only few men who had been invited to the test. There was Street himself, standing sixty feet away from the base of the monument, Around him clustered Preston Gibson, newspaper proprietor and clubman; Ganley, left fielder of the WashiHgtons. and Me Bride, shortstop.

 There was no warning of when the first ball, or the last one, was to come hurtling down to Street. He didn't have the advantage of the usual sig nal from the pitcher. All he could do was to stand there, eyes like sits, hands held out, head up, waiting.

 Street stood on the north side of the monument. Suddenly Ganley sang out: Here she comes!" Street saw the ball--a tiny dot against the lsky. The wind whisked it to one side. Street shifted his position. It | took just six and three-quarter sec onds for the ball to hit ground, thirty feet away. Again came a whistling cratic ball. It plunged far from the ! catcher.

general uplift in the life of the
community. Every body who is in

soul. as children year after year
feast their eyes upon inspiring
and beautiful pictures. Single

AWFUL TRAGEDY
MURDER AND SUICIDE IN NOR

Trivial Quarrel

News reached here Wednesday

that town at about $50 p. M,
and that Perry Rover, the mar
shal of the town who had COM
mitted the awful deed had killed
himself, The facts in brief are
these.
Editor Sehnucker in his paper
had published an account of the
visit of four squads of the L. >.
Cavalry who camped in a pasture
rear the town. In the article he
stated that "at about Il o'clock
some Of the soldiers were still
lettering on the streets when the
marshal tried to show his author
ity. but they quickly relieved him
of his billy. made him put up his
gun and take a walk. Uncle
Sam s men do not propose to be
led around by petty city marshals.
This alone is what caused the
trouble.
About an hour after the paper
was out the marsha al met the edi-
tor on the street, and in the con-
troversy that followed drew his
gun and fired two shots, killing
him instantly, the shot passing
through the head. The marshal
then started for his home and as
he neared the house he turned the
gun upon himself and fred a shot
into his own brain, dropping
oyer dead.

years old and leaves a widow. He

years of age, an old soldier and

that he had been respondent and
been heard to say that he would

years to dispel the gloom cast
over il.

BURGLARS BUSY
DEPOT RANSAckED MONDAY
NIGHT
Thief Was Caught and is Now in the
County Jail Awaiting Pre-
ilminary Trial

Sheriff Fenton has new guest
at his hotel this week, a man
who thought himself smooth
enough to plumber and then elude
the officers.
1t all happened Monday night
at Verdon. The night watch at
the depot, IN making his rounds
discovered that the door had been
pried open, as we'll as the window
to the ticket office. He gave the
alarm at once, and upon investi-
cation, it was discovered that five
millage books were missing, some
cash taken from the money draw
er and number of express pack
ages torn open. 1t was supposed
the thief had gone north on a
freight, so word was telephoned
to the agent at Stella to be on
the look out, and when the train
reached that place the man was
arrested by the sheriff from Au-
burn, who happened to be at the
depot at the time waiting for a
train to take him to Auburn. and
who held him until the marshal
appeared.
The fellow showed fight in his
attempt to escape and in the mix
up. the agents wife displayed a
great deal of courage by knock
ing the fellow down as he was
about to get away. The marshal
soon appeared, and as the south
bound train was just due, he
brought his prisoner to this city
and placed him in jail, where he
is now awaiting his preliminary.
1t was quick work, requiring
o4sly a few hours from the time of
the theft until the fellow was be-
hind the bars.

Falls City and Highland Each Win a
Game

Last Thursday and FridayFalls
City and Highland again met at
the Poteet park and played two
very inferior games, consider.
Ing what they are capable of
doing. On Thursday there was
a good crowd in attendance,
many visitors being in the city
on account of Taft day, and
knowing the reputation of the
two teams, remained over hop
ing to witness a good game. It
seemed to be our boys day at
the bat, and they hit about ey-
erything coming their way.
Tommy Poteet came in for his
usual home run, as did Foehl-
niger, and as these hits
were made with the bases full
the score run up SO fast as to
dishearten the visitors, and they
couldn't buckle down to busi-
ness. At last accounts the
score was 16 to 4.
On Friday, however, the ta-
bles were turned and the visit
ors won, 8 to &. This was caus-
ed by little side play on the
part of our boys, they changing
positions until 1t WAS hard to
decide just where any of them
belonged. Poteet and Heck ex-
changed places and thus Great

finally realized the situation

A GOOD PROGRAM
The Sumner-Davis Concert Co
Give Fine Entertainment

Those who heard the Sumner
Davis Concert Company, Monday
evening, pronounce 1t one of the
very best ever in our city. The
program was strictly musical and
each number WAS greatly enjoyed.
There were many instruments
used and each man was an artist
in his particular line. The var
ious limitations on the mandoline
were especially fine while the harp
solos were roundly applauded.
Each number was worthy of spec
ial mention, but space forbids.
Suffice it to say that the Sumner
Davis Concert Company gave
splendid satisfaction and should
have been greeted by much bet
ter house.
This was the first number of the
lecture course and we are informed
is fit sample of the numbers
which are to follow.

This is busy campaign time and
the question of who's who is an
important one. How many times

of some note in the political world ?
If you could only know just who
he is and what he has done, what
satisfaction it would be to you.

men and women to know these
facts quickly and accurately. 1t

More Room Necessary

Owing to the crowded condi-
ton of our schools, especially
in the lower grades. our school
board found it necessary to ar
range for more room, and this
week fitted up the Zion churc1,
and divided the third and fourth
grades of both the Central and
High school, who for the present
will have quarters at that place
with Miss Ada Beynon, of Peru
as teacher.
Until this change was made
these grades were SO crowded
that there were not enough
seats for the pupils, some of the
teachers having more than sixty
pupils to look after. At the
present rate of increase it will
be only a matter OF very short
time until we are compelled to
erect a new school building.
