Alejandro Garcia, of Las Sandals ranche, Arizpe district.
 At the meeting Saturday two committees were appointed, one to devise means for eradication of ticks; and another to devise the best method for transportation of cattle from ranches to domestic markets and for exportation.
 With appointment of the com mittees the meeting went into re- cess pending delberation by the committees, which reported the day following. Their reports were adopted, and the methods pre- sented to Governor Torres, who announced that he will have them promulgated as official regulations to be observed. They will be printed in both Spanish and Eng glish, and transmitted to all con cerned in the business of stock raising in Sonora, and to the news papers for publication.
 The meeting was very harmon ious throughout, and the plans proposed were adopted by unan- imous consent. It is believed that they will result in great good to the cattle industry in Sonora.

SPECIAL MEETING
OF CITY COUNCIL
Defer Action on Overley Matter-No
Protests Filed Against Report
Of Appraisers.

There was a call session of the city
council at the city hall last night for
the purpose Of hearing protests again
st the assessment of the costs of grad
ing, curbing and guttering parts of
Canadian and Delaware avenues and
to consider the acceptance of similar
work improvement on Canadian
avenue between Fourth and Fifth
streets, and to consider certificates
for tax warrants to E, J. Overley for
the pavement on Illinois avenue, vii
son street and Canadian avenue.
No protests against the assessment
of benefits to the property for the cost
of Improvement on Delaware and Can
adian avenues were received, and the
council passed a resolution approving
the report OF the board Of appraisers.
The work of curbing and guttering
Canadian avenue from Fourth street
to Fifth street was approved and ac-
cepted.
The matter of Overley's certificates
was not clear to some of the council
and action was deferred on this mat
ter until Monday night. It seems
that there was an error in the word
ing of the bonds given Mr.. Overley
by the last council and he is asking
the council to authorize the issuance
of valid issue The mayor and coun-
ell agreed to fully investigate the mat
ter and prepare an ordinance for the
meeting Monday night covering same.

Upon Prosecutions
Explained

the foreman asked the court for furth.
er instructions to the inquisitorial
body
Foreman Strain said the Jurors de
sired to have the law governing con
spiracy explained to them again,
Continuing, the foreman asked the
court if, under the instructions, the
jury could indict one man for forgery
and also if they could charge one man
with conspiracy and not the others.
In response to these queries which
caused a marked tremor of surprise
throughout the court room, Judge Mar
shall covered the law governing con.
spiracy, his words coming slowly and
decisively Carefully he explained
every phase of the law bearing upon
the present prosecutions.
Responding to the latter queries OF
the foreman, the court ruled that it
was not possible for the jury to find
an indictment for forgery as the pres
ent cases would not permit of such a
finding.
Concluding, the court informed the
jury, through the foreman, as to the
law governing fraud, calling particular
attention to that portion which might
concern the present cases.
The jury then retired, to adjourn for
the day, a few moments later The
jury convened again this morning to
further consider the evidence.

Homemal.ing Requires study.


Many women make the mistake OF
thinking that the calling of homemak-
ing needs no preparation, and the re-
suit is disappointment on both sides.
Every girl should be taught plain
cooking and sewing and have some
knowledge of every branch of domestic
work; it will prove valuable asset
In whatever line of business she may
engage, and should she marry, the
duties of keeping house will not be
nearly so difficult
Some do not marry, many late IN
life; others still are left widows. often
with dependent families, and for such
a practical education is desirable; but
each one should select the work that
she thinks she would like to do, and
not for the reason that others have
succeeded in it.
A grammar school education. at
least, is necessary for any one who
would enter an office. A high school
education is desirable, and even one
year of this latter is of great advan-
tage as a general preparation.
