MONTH OF JULY
 UNUSUALLY COOL
According to Figures Compiled at the Date Orchard.

The month of July, just passed. has been the coolest July that Tempe has experienced in many years. F. H. Simmons, superintendent of the date orchard has kept a record of the daily temperature for the past five years and gives out some interesting information on the subject that shows just how much cooler and more pleasant the past month has been when compared with the same months in the years past. The average daily temperature for the past month was 1O235, the year before it was IA, a difference of twelve degrees. The year previous to that it was 112 and the year before, 109. Curiously, while the days have been so much cooler. the nights have been warmer. The nights of July this year averaged about four degrees warmer than those of the same month the year before. Regardless of what the record shows, it is admitted on all sides that the past month for a midsummer month in Arizona was a decidedly pleasant one and there have been a good many people who left the valley in search of q cooler climate, who would have profited financially and in comfort if they had remained at home.

HIS CASE WILL GO
 ID THE GRAND JURY
BOUND OVER ON SIX HUNDRED
 DOLLAR BOND.
An Afternoon Spent in Taking Evi-
 dence in a Shooting Case.

The preliminary hearing of Nicholas Valenzuela. charged with shooting at Manuel Valenzuela with intent to kill furnished an all afternoon attraction for a large crowd of spectators yes terday afternoon and enlivened what would have otherwise been a very quiet period of time. IL being the usual Friday afternoon holiday the stores were closed and as many as the court room would accommodate list ened to the proceedings.
 Little in addition to what has al ready been printed developed at the hearing. There were a number of wit nesses on both sides Of the case. the woman in it having been brought over from Phoenix where she is serving a 2O-day sentence. to give her testi- mony. Bringing her over from Phoe- nix, however. was purely a waste of time for her testimony developed nothing of material importance to the case. In fact. the whole affair amounts to very little. though it took the greater part of the afternoon co eX- anime all the witnesses. The chances are that if the defendant had not been so excited immediately after the shooting, the matter would never have reached the court IL is pretty ar- tain that it would have been settled out side of the courts jurisdiction by the participants in some manner or other However, after hearing all tEe testimony, upon the advice of the cs- sistant district attorney who was present, Justice of the Peace Carr bound Valenzuela over to await the action of the grand jury in the sum of 5000. A hundred would have an swered the purpose as well The de- fendant was taken to Phoenix last evening by Constable Estrada.

PRESIDENT MATTHEWS
 BACK FROM N. f. \. SPENT SOME TIME FISHING IN
 THE MOUNTAINS After Attending the Session of the Educational Association.

President A. J. Matthews has re- turned from Denver where he at tended the annual meeting of the Ma tiOnal Educational Association. On his way home he stopped over a few days both at Flagstaff and Prescott. The meeting of the association, says President Matthews, was .. very sue cessfuI one. The attendance was not as large as it has been in previous in stances. but this is easily accounted for. Heretofore, on account of the greatly reduced railroad rates, thous- ands of people who had no interest whatever in the association attended it, taking advantage of these rates. on this occasion. the attendance was almost purely professional There were between seven and eight thous- and present and almost without eX- ception they were teachers. The normal department was largely rep resented, over -seventy-five per cent of the normal schools of the United States were represented and some thing over fifty normal presidents were in attendance.
 After the association meeting, Pres ident Matthews spent a few weeks in the mountains fishing. He enjoyed the sport immensely and was success full in getting some fine fish. The sport was a great change for him for much of 1t consisted in spending half a day or so in ice cold water up to his hips Notwithstanding this unus- ual procedure, his hclth was in no wise affected. unless it was possibly
 
 tracted a severe attack of asthma, but this was benefited by his trip in the mountains.
