unanimous in rating her both pretty
and vivacious, besides being an ac-
complished teacher In possession Of a
state diploma.
or course the arrival OF the pretty
schoolma am caused stir among the
residents OF Virginia Dale. especially
the gallant masculine portion thereof.
She was deluged with invitations to
dances almost before she had time To
learn the names of her new-found ad-
mirers. A dozen Youths Of the farm
ing country laid their hearts at the al
tar Of her beauty and charming per-
sonality before the first month was
up.
Her friends-and she had hosts OF
them-say that she never neglected
her duties In the little country school
house. Nevertheless, the grave heads
of the school board soon decided that
teacher who trippcd the light fan
tastic 80 divinely and SO frequently at
night could not properly work her
head during the day. But the pretty
teacher renamed until the end of the
term.
Then enter the school board with
its outspoken 'ad.'
There Is gloom in Virginia Dale.

Mr. Grindley Is confident of securing
the cooperation Of all public spirited
citizens in the scheme, which can
bring nothing but good results. In
fact, he has already received many
offers Of land for the uses mentioned.
The committeeman will also be on the
lookout for territory In their respec-
tive districts which can be utilized for
the purpose.

Mayor Breitmeyer was present for
the express purpose OF urging the
passage of these supplemental esti-
mates. particularly those relating to
Fairgrounds. Inspector Burton had
just moved that the consideration or
the additional estimates be indefinite
ly postponed, arguing that the school
board budget was too large already,
and that the tax rate, city, county
and state. would probably be larger
this year than ever before. II would
simply mean so much more cutting
for the estimators. he commended.

Mr.. Burton said the insertion OF
these items might mean the cutting

the board. The mayor replied that
one of them could properly be left
out.

 Local rumor has it, however, that he
 will visit Duluth, Minn. and while there Will confer with President Thos Bardon of the corporation. This con, ference. it is stated, will presage an early announcement of the company s policJ.
 While in Bisbee MT. Bardon spent

 these conferences cannot now be as- CeIL LdlUeC.
 While Mir. Hodges visited Douglas

 velopment with no mining operations
 and only sufficient ore shipments to
 keep the ore bin from overiowing, will

YOUTH FACES TRIAL
 ON MURDER CHARGE

BOSTON, Mass. Nov. 2O.-The case of James NJ. Harmon, Jr., who is charged with the murder of Miss Maud Hartley year ago, was called for trial today in the court at East Cambridge. Young Harmon and Miss Hartley, who was still in her teens, lived in Somerville and had been been playmates and friends since childhood On the morning of the tragedy Harmon lay in wait for his victim and shot and killed her as she was about to board a car on her way to work. It was not known at the time that any serious love affair ex- Isted between the two and no ade- quate motive has ever been advanced for the killing. It is supposed that a ylea of insanity will be made by the defense.

.HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
 PREPARES FUR TUCSON
TAKES DAILY PRACTICE IN EFF FORT TO REMAIN IN FORM FOR SATURDAYS GAME.

Because the high school boys won deserved victory over DoTglas high Thanksgiving day. they are not letting any grass grow under their feet in order to give Tucson high any undue advantage in the game scheduled at Warren for Saturday.
 There is no let-up in their practice, and they're out until dark every night scrimmaging around the school yard and keeping in trim. The Tucson team will arrive either Friday night or Saturday morning and wlil he the guests of the locals over sunday.
 Tucson put up fine defensive game on their home grounds whe:i Bisbee met them, winning by bug a single touchdown. How.y';r, n 'hlt game John o'Malley, Tbomas and two or three others of the regular mon were out on account If 'ns.l. hey will all play in the same Saturday, how ever, but at that it is expected that Tucson will hold the home boys to a couple of touchdowns or so.
 Douglas papers since last Thurs days affair, have tired to had it. tG Umpire Buchner on his decisions. one paper stating that it was the Bisbee umpire, aided by the high school elev- en, that won the game" The Douglas boys in their account of the battle, aided by a couple of hours 5roodins as they whirled homeward, show a sad loss of memory, forgetting con- pletely the fact that Lockwood of Douglas. was away of on his decisi cHs and that it was only the constant iu- reference of Umpire Buchner and ire, quent recourse to the rule book, that steered the Douglas referee anywhre near the right path and forced him to back down on two or three penalties i he would have unjustIy inflicted About the team, they played the bet ter ball; therefore the sting of de, feat should not be laid at the umpire door, as he only insisted upon a squa. e ! deal.
 So far nothing has been heard from Fl Paso high regarding a third game to decide whcih is tn ebest team and eventually settle the title argument. Bisbee high is ready at any time to hear from the Pass City boys.
