A Nest Distressing Accident A Nan Sloi andKilled while pIayfully
 scgfling win a friend
 Had been boys together

The surviving friend almost heartbroker
 Eduardo Pardilla and Roberto
 Chavis, two Mexican sheepher-
 ders, were both born about
 twenty-twO years ago in Belin, New Mexico. They were babes together and boys together. In
 their childhood they shared each
 others joys and sorrows. As they
 grew into manhood the friendly
 ties of youth became so deep and
 fervent that they could not be
 happy or even contented when
 seperated.
 A short time ago Eduardo and Roberto entered the employ of Santie Jaques and here their friendship was again tested and proven to be true. MT. Jacques offered one of the men consider able advance in salary if he would take charge of another herd but the faithful fellow only replied that he would prefer working for less than to be sepe- rated from his friend. So they remained together.
 Both these wound men were blessed with excellent health and strength and often indulged in playful scuffling.
 Last Saturday after reaching the Brown Flat the men decided to pitch camp and remain over night. The Brown Flat is about twelve miles directly east of Lakeside. After going around the herd the men met at a point where they were to pitch camp. They stepped up to each other and began scuffling and cuffing each other playfully when drew a revolver from his belt and snapped it infront of Roberto, believing of course, as most careless men do, in handling firearms, that it was not loaded. But as is too often the case, the looking, unloaded pistol was discharged, with the usual distressing result the sacrifice of one more innocent life and the burning conscience and torturing remorse of a close friend who would have gladly welcomed the same untimely death rather than i've and suffer as he does and will as long as life shall last.
 They were in each others arms when the fatal ball did the deadly | work, entering Roberto's abode nen and evidently penetrating he heart as he spoke not a word liter the discharge of the shot. t was but a moment until he vas a lifeless corpse still in the rms of his loving comrade. 1dnardo laid the body .tenderly town. It all had happened so uddently he hardly realized what lad taken place. When the awful ruth finally dawned upon his hind Eduardo ran to the nearest lerd arranged with another erder to take his place and .uard the remains of his friend. Te then hurried to the Scott anch near Showlow, which he cached about I0-30 p. m. and eported the sad trgedy to his mployer, MT. Jacques.
 The following morning, Sunday
 coffin was made and a party un- CT the direction of MT. Jacques urried to the Brown Flat. It -as the intention to remove the ody to the Lakeside Cemetery ( ut it was already in such aeon ition that this was not possible ( grave was prepared and an I ppropriate burial service held V mong the beautiful pine trees /

PERPLExING QUESTION IS, j
WHATS BEST TO BE DONE?

One of the questions that Is para
mount with the funds Of the city 10
what is to be done with the revenue
derived from the water works. This
is not to imply that the city is going
t, have more than it really needs,
but which is the best channel of the
city departments for the reception
of those funds 1t seems that senti-
sueet is moro or less divided. but this
matter should be thoroughly gone
into and thrashed out. rs the city is
ON the eve Of an election, ana since
coming here The Tribune has heard
that the election 10 prophesied to be
q hot one.
The revenues from the water works
are about $40 900 per apnum, some
times more. Some are In favor of
applying the funds to the ultimate
redemption of the $4,000 worth of
outstanding water bonds, just refund
ed; others think the money should go
toward the redemption of the out.
standing general fund warrants.
Tho water works bonds are drawing
five per cent interest per annum, the
general fund warrants six per cent.
II the full $40 900 should be applied
to the latter. saving of at least
800 par year will have been effect
ed. On the other hand the water
bonds have been refunded for ten
years with an option of twenty years
for redemption. The interest on the
bonds will amount to $4,250.
This, with less the operating ex-
penses will leave a balance of So 900
or more annually. which some claim
should be applied to sinking fund
for the redemption Of the bonds.
In twenty years there will be more
than $40. 900, so 1t is easy to see that
the net revenues from the water
works will more than care for the
bonds and the interest.
The present city council in March
will make the appropriations for the
next year, but as yet no definite de-.
oision has teen made by them as to
what disposition will be made Of
water fund revenue. 1t seems to be
. perplexing question. But ut any
rate 1t will be a matter for the in
coming council to take hold Of and
thrash out. This Is ons reason why
the forthcoming election 10 an impor-
tant one, and care should be used In
selecting candidates.
The finances of the city are now
in good shape and are getting better
overy year. Five more years OF
economical administrations and thi,
city should be absolutely free from
debt But it would not do to elt O.
council that will squander the pub
lie funds
