HEAVY ARTILLERY USED

Teheran, July 15.-The fighting in
going on more or less continuously
since the nationalist forces made their
entry into the capital has become
more serious. The Persian Cossacks,
with heavy artillery fire, resisted
the attempt of the nationalists to rush
the Cossacks' position from the north
and east. The nationalists succeeded
in occupying a garden close to the
house of Colonel Liakhoff, the mill
tary commander of Teheran, where
they are being shelled by the Cos
sacks.
Rifle and artillery fire has been
practically continuous for thirty-six
hours. Soldiers of the shah from Sui
tanabad have approached to within
three miles of the city and are shell
ing Bakaristan, the quarter of the city
where the parliament building is situ-
ated 1t is reported that the shah's
troops are endeavoring to enter the
city by one of the northern gates.
Shah May Have Escaped.

Shannon to Lay New Pipe Line.

The Shannon copper company has made application to the Town Coun- Gil for a franchise granting them permission to lay new pipe line through the city limits to its plant on the hill for the purpose of furnish ing water for it's own use. At the meeting of the council Tuesday after noon this franchise was granted and the company will probably commence work on the new line at early date. The company will drill wells above the present plant of the Clifton Water company and later will lay a line to Clifton, thus giving the town two water lines from the same loca- tion. The building of this line will require the expenditure of a con siderable sun of money.

Shannon Entertainment a Success.

The dance and entertainment on Shannon Hill given by the patriotic citizens of that section of town last Saturday evening in honor of Iude- pendence Day, was pronounced sue cess in point of attendance and otherwise. A large open air platform hadsbeen built specially for the oc- casion and while a slight shower early in the evening interfered with the affair temporarily the later hours were cool and the weather clear and the capacity of the plat form was taxed to overfowing. Peo- pie from every section of the town joined Shannon hill in the pleasures of the evening and those who attened report most pleasant time. Good music was furnished by Professor Bond and several other expert musicians and besides the dancing, ice cream, cake, and other light re- treatments were served.

THE SHANNON.ARIzONA.
Work Progressing Rapidly and Good
 Showing.

An ERA reporter took short skirmish over the new line of the Shanuon-Arizona railroad and while the company is not yet in position to issue passes we had the privilege to ride over the grade any way. The first camp on the road is located only short distance from the shelter and is on the top of the hill This camp is run by Hoyt and SOrell. sub contractors and they are working in the neighborhood of 100 men. Com mencing at the ore bins these con tractors have made quite big show ing for the few weeks they have been at work. The ground is pretty well broken on the east side of the hill and q large amount of cut work is also done on the other side. Things are looking like business along the line, the first part of which is rather crooked affair.
 Connecting with the Hoyt x SOrell contract is Nick Coles contract. Nick has one of the biggest camps on the road and is getting along rapidly with his work. His camp is located just beyond the Catholic cemetery. His contract consists of a consider able amount of cut work.
 Further up the line is the Stowel camp, the Antonelle X Cotey camp and the Nardelli camps. The most of the work being done by these con- tractors is rock and tunnel work, which requiI es considerable time to make much of a showing. However, all contractors are advancing rapidly and it now seems as though the new railroad will be completed within the contracted time-nine months.

The Hose Race.

Perhaps the most interesting part on the program was the hose race, in which four companies of nine men each participated and in which more than a thousand anxious friends were interested.
