From the Valley County News:
Last Friday night about nine o'clock II

Mary Fitzpatrick Roach had just died. A
little while before she died r. M. Young

Reach's apartments. when he heard Mrs.
Roach call him. He responded at once
and when he reached her room he found
her on her knees with her face bowed for
ward on the Aeor in pool Of blood. After
getting assistance from the restaurant he
got her up on her bed. and then sent for
DR.. Hoyt. BY the time the doctor arrived
they had the blood washed Cd her face.
and il was then found that her nose vas
broken. As she appeared to be suffering
considerably she was given hypodermic
injection Of morphine to quiet her and
deaden her suffering. but short time later
she expired.
As the circumstances seemed to indicate
that her death was not due to natural
causes. Coroser Peterson took charge Of
the remains and held an inquest and pos,
mortem examination. The last session Of
the coroner's jury was held Monday eve
niag and the jury composed Of J. w. Wed.
I'm. I. L. Truscott. r. II. Fried. w. c.
Beede. z. d. Coleman and Dan Mckay,
brought in q verdict that the deceased:
death vas caused by acute alcoholism. and
that the circumstances did not justify the
jury in duplicating anyone in the cause o.
her death.

ASSESSMENT 1909
Assessor Fox Has Completed As
eesxment and the Books Show
an Increase Of $574,O77.

From Valley County News.
County Assessor Jas. Fox and
his deputy H. F. Calderwood have
completed the work Of that Office
for the current year and the books
the total valuation Of all property
assessed IN Valley County to be
s3,7Is,es6. 90. Last year the total
assessed valuation was $3.I44.9oo,
making an increase this year OF
s574,o77 90 without taking into
consideration the assessment oil
the railroad company, which IS
fixed by the state board OF equaiiza-
ton, and last year amounted to
s3.s76,33e. 90, or more than hall
the total valuation.
While getting the above fgures
from the records it was interesting
to note the assessment Of 1896, just
thirteen years ago, the statement
Of which happened to be laying on
the table, and showed that the
total assessed valuation that year
was s739,476.oo. These figures
show that during the past twelve
years prior to the 1909 assessment
the average increase i'll the assessed
valuation OF Valley County was
about Saoo, 4s2,7S. while this years
assessment shows an increase OF
s574. OFT 90 or nearly three times
the average increase OF the past
twelve years. The assessors re-
port shows the following for 1909,

 TO OLD PUEBLO

Joe Prochaska's s aggregation of base ball players lost both games at Tue. son, in the series with the Elks of that city, according to information which was pumped out of members of the team on their return.
 While rather 10th to tell the sad tale, it was admitted by the players yes terday that they lost the Sunday game by the score of to II or thereabout, with 10 to 19 score standing against them Monday.
 The boys played fairly good ball, but they were outcassed all the time.
 They were given cordial reception by the Tucson Elks and were furnish ed with plenty of entertainment. They report good time, even if the series was lost.
 The Tuxes will come to Globe Sun day, July Is, and play return game with the local boys.

Czar of AN the Russuas
 Attends Big Celebration

the czar B ambassador on the wheel as traitor. Peter the Great, maddened ty the vengeful actlof Charles, pre- pared for a struggle 10 the death. Charles, however, continued his tri- umphs and invading Russia at the head of his army, marched by almost the very route which Napoleon followed a little more than century later, and shared almost identically the same fate Charles at last, in the heart of Rus sia, with an exhausted army, was over whelmingly defeated at Poltava, and his conquests were at an end.
 It was not a great battle guaged by the numbers involved. It is doubtful if Charles ever had 50,000 under his command on more than one occasion. At Poltava he must have had fewer. He was beaten by dint of the hardest kind of hard fighting, and once de- feated there was no rallying. He had lost his communications no retreat was open to him. There was nothing left for him but flight.
 Sweden fell with Charles XII. and it was the fall of Sweden that jus tifies Greasy in placing Poltava among "decisive battles. !" It decided the vexed question which should be aseen- dant along the Baltic, Russia or Swe- den, in favor of Russia. Sweden at the peace was compelled to cede to Rus  sa Esthonia, Livonia and q large slice of Finland. Thenceforwari the progress of the reduction of Sweden, if not rapid, was steady. Diplomacy might hold it but could not turn it backward. A century after Poltava Russia gained complete possession of Finland, and when on the readjustment that followed the peace of 1915 Swed ish Pomerania became Prussian, Swe den became a purely peninsular nation, consoled for it's isolation by permission to seize Norway, which it has since lost

HISTORIC BATTLE OF POLTAvA WILL COMMEMORATE ITS
 ANNIVERSARY

POLTAVA, Russia, July 7.-The czar was astir early today to inaugurate the festivities in connection with the celebration of the 200th anniversary of tue battle of poltava, in which the
 Russians administered crushing de- feat to the redoubtable Charles XII of Sweden. Accompanied by other mem bers of the imperial family and attend. ed hy large and brilliant suite, his imperial majesty reviewed the great body of troops assembled for the oc- casion end witnessed the pageants and other festivities that were included in the days program.
 The great parade which marked the opening of the celebration beggars de- scription. Column after column in variegated uniform marched in splen- did array past the czar and his attend ants. Surrounding his majesty were the generals of the army, the ministers of state, the grand dukes, and the nili- tary attaches Of the foreign embassies. Reviewing stands were provided for the invited guests, among whom were official representatives of scores of municipalities and men of great prom thence from all parts of the empire,
 Tomorrow. which will be the conclud ing day of the celebration. will witness q spectacle the like of which has not been seen in Russia since the corona ton ceremonies in Moscow. The spec tacle will be of combined military and historical character. The scenic pageant has been arranged by Mazwiof- sky, the battle painter, and Mouravieif, the military historian. Tie battle or Poltava will be enacted us 1t was fought 200 years ago, part of the Rus sian forces representing the Swedes The climax, the regimental chiefs lay ing the Swedish standards at the feet of Peter the Great, will be taken from Kotchubey's 's picture.
 The battle of Poltava, fought July 8, l709, is regarded as one Of the "de- cisive battles'' of history. On the is sue of the conhict depended the su- preuaey of northern Europe. The vic tcry placed Russia among the powers of civilized Europe. Charles XII. was defeated and with him fell Sweden from the high estate to which he had raised it. Had the heroic Swede come out of the battle victor instead of fugitive, Peter the Great might have rclapsed into the condition of one ot the "Czars of Museovy' interesting emi-barbarians, rulers of country so far of from Europe that the latter viewed ii with curiosity unmingled with apprehension.
 When Charles XII came to the Swed- ish throne, sweden was one of the first powers of Europe. Her soldiers were among the bravest and the best discip lined, and her destiny seemed to bc that of leader among nations. Once at least in the heroic but meteoric, ca reer of Charles, he had the opportunity to dictate a peace which would have given Sweden an undisputed pre-emi hence in northern Europe, but he per mtted this pension to go by.
