Lapse. - New district.
 With an average daily attendance of ITO, against 964 for the preceding year, gain of nearly 22 per cent is shown in the number of pupils attend ing school in Gila county. The percen- tage of attendance last term was 92 per cent as against 9l per cent, for the term of 1908.
 Forty-six teachers were employed Tn the schools of the county last year Thirty eight were employed during the preceding year.
 The valuation of school property in the county has increased over l7 per cent during the year. The total valua- tion of the school property in the eoun' ty this year is $l0l, ,934 as against $S7,- 5Ol for 1908.
 County Superintendent Kellner is pleased with the showing which has been made in this district during the past year.
 "Not only have the number of school children in the county increased mater ially during the past year, but the at tendance has been highly satisfactory, v said MT. Kellner to the Silver Belt.
 ''Globe has made the best showing, with big increase, but the country districts have done well. The addition of two new schools and the reopening of another has brought down the at tendance in several districts, but there is quite a general increase through out the whole county, particularly m the matter of attendance.
 "As it is probable that at least two new districts will be opened this year, next year should show an increase equal ly as large as that of the term which has just ended.

had not been seen there since.
DR.. Marcum was called and
stated that at the autopsy he and
DR.. Gilmore had ascertained that
one bullet had inflicted a wound in
the abdomen of the dead man; that
the bullet entered between the ninth
and tenth ribs and had touched the
right lobe of the liver and went
entirely through the left lobe, ruptur-
ing a gall bladder, but that the
bullet had not struck the intestines.
This was possibly fatal shot, but
not necessarily so.
The doctor stated that another
bullet had entered the head of the
dead man on a line from the tip OF
the ear and passed out through the
right eye, the course being two and
one-half inches back of the right
ear; that this shot had proved in
stantly fatal.

the shot that killed Johnson, testi

Hazen and Deputy Johnson to the

and Johnson lost his life.
Mr.. Benner stated that he was so
far away from the two robbers while
at the bridge that it was impossible
for him to recognize either of the
men at that time.
Sheriff ,Hazen told about the
same story that had been related
by Benner, with the exception that
he had told his deputy not to dis
turb the robbers until they had
crossed onto the bridge, but that
the deputy had commanded the
robbers to hold up their hands
before they had gotten we'll onto
the bridge.

looted the safe at the Puposky store

New Virginia League President.

NORFOLK, Va, November 13.-Jake
Wells. 1t can be stated on the best Of au-
thority. will be in no way connected
with base ball next season. and the vir-
ginia League is confronted with the cleo
ton Of a president to succeed him. The
friends of William NJ. Hannah, jr., Of
this city will urge his election to that
office. Hannah Is better known in base
ball than any man In the state, aside
from Jake Wells, and is at present the
only one spoken Of for the league pres!-
dency While young man. he Is a
hustler and has had much experience as
a club manager and owner He managed
an Independent team in Norfolk before
the present state league was organized,
was one of the first to move for the or
ganizatiOn of the league and became in
terested in the Norfolk club after the or
ganization was carried through.
While Jake Wells is a great lover of
base ball, he realizes that he has too
much else on hand to permit Of his giving
the attention to the league that the presi-
dent should, and for that reason would
not consent to a reelection. When the
league last met to elect a president it
was deadlocked in the matter as between
Wells and Hannah. In the interest of
the league and harmony Hannah finally
requested that the deadlock be broken in
favor of Wells. Eannan Is popular all
over the league circuit.
