A Superintendent to be Raked Over.

There promises to be some lively
doings within the next few weeks,
when a "discipline committee" ap-
pointed at the recent territorial
teachers institute in Phoenix, will
hold a special session at the capital
city.
1t has leaked out that serious
charges have been preferred against
one of the school superintendents of
the territory. The matter came
up at the meeting at Phoenix during
fair week, and after some considera-
bic discussion a committee of five was
appointed as a board of inquiry.
The charges against the superin-
tcndent are embodied under the one
allegation, ''unprofessional conduct"
though the educators are reticent as
to their exact nature, preferring to
say nothing until the committee
meets and investigates. 1t is under
stood, however, that falsifying is one
of them and should the teacher in
question be found guilty it will mean
that his license in the territory will
be revoked.

Prosecutors in ORGANIZATION.

With nine of the thirteen district
attorneys in Arizona present the first
steps taken at Phoenix toward the
organization of the territorial Dis
trict Attorneys association, which
will be completed when the prosecu
tors hold another meeting in Phoenix
during the January term of court,
when it is expected that every county
attorney in arizona will attend.
John S. Williams, district attorney
of Cochise county, and father of the
organization, was selected president
and A. G. McAllister of Graham
county, secretary.
District Attorney Williams, at
whose suggestion the attorneys met,
stated that the disadvantages at
which the district attorneys find
themselves in many instances led him
to evolve the plan of the meeting and
organization.
BY having the district attorneys
agreed on certain important matters
relating to form and procedure, Will
liams believes that the efficiency of
all the district attorneys offices will
be increased and their work made
easier and with less confusion than
now results when the interests of the
different counties happen to be
mutual in any given matter.

$4,000 Masonic Temple For Bisbee

Ground has been broken upon the
lot recently acquired by the Masonic
order on Upper Main street for the
erection of $4,000 Temple From
this time on there is little doubt that
the work upon the structure will be
pushed to completion. Grading is in
charge of D. Hassler, who was award
ed the contract at a recent meeting
of the Masons.
The plans of Architect F. G. Hurst
have been accepted by the building
committee of the order. The plan
provides for a two-story brick and
concrete block structure, containing
three store rooms on the ground
floor. On the second floor the lodge
and clubrooms of the order will be
situated.
Erection of the building will be
started as soon as grading has been
completed. This will be about a
month from the present time and the
building is expected to be ready for
occupancy during the early spring
months. .-Bisbee Reyiew.

Didz to Retire as Actual Head.

The Ell Paso Herald last week
printed what it declared to be
authentic information, story to the
effect that Enrique Creel will enter
President Diaz' cabinet in a short
time as chief adYiser, representing
Diaz and Vice-President Corral and
assume the active head of govern
ment, leaving Diaz to rest and vir-
tually retire.
The move is said to have been
pending since the recent trouble
with General Reyes, and it is said
that it will be carried out almost i'm
mediately.
Diaz is said to recognize that Cor
raj cannot get the necessary support
to ultimately succeed him in the
office of president and to haYe prac-
tically decided upon Creel. Creers
career as chief adviser, will in real
ity be a sort of 'training" to pre-
pare him for the presidency.
Creel is one of the wealthiest men
in Mexico. governor of Chihuahua,
and Mexican ambassador to the
United States.

To Form ORGANIZATION.

The National Indian War Veter-
ans, an organization formed in Den
yer, Colorado, has for its object, to
obtain pensions for all those who
while serving the government, con-
tributed their share to open for
peaceful settlement Of this great
Western country.
The men as a rule are old and
feeble, by reason of endured hard
ships and privations, unable to per-
form manual labor and on account of
age barred from obtaining suitable
employment.
A government which through it's
liberality to its veterans of other
wars, to its educational institutions
and its farmers, ranks as the very
first in the civilized world, should
surely MT hesitate to give to this
limited number of surviving Indian
war veterans enough to allow them
at least living for their few remain
ing days.
These men spent some of the best
years of their lives in their country's
service, opening up this great west
ern empire, fighting under such noted
leaders as Custer, Merritt, Crook,
Miles, Forsyth. Mckenzie and others,
and should in their last days receive
recognition.
We request all those eligible to
membership in this orga anization to
at once send in their application to
the National Secretary and Treas
urer, c. R. Hauser, 1643 Market St.,
Denver, Colorado, where they will
receive further information.

by the first of January, when the
railroad from Bouse to the mine will
be completed the smelter will be
blown in and Swansea become a
scene of ganeral activity. Rails for
the Bouse-Swansea line have arrived
and are being laid rapidly. There is
little delay over the arrival of ties,
but it will not be for long The
management is anxious for the COM
pletion of the road, and there will
not be a day of unnecessary delay
allowed.
George Mitchell, president of the
company, is at present in California,
but will soon be at the mine, where
he will meet party of stockholders,
present and prospective, who have
left France 4or Swansea.
After the visit to Swansea, Mr..

Since it was blown in more than a

twenty tons of high grade matte each
day. In the company's mine the stop
ing down of ores all along the drift on
the sixth level continues with excel

INSANE MAN ARRESTED.
Was Found Pulling Up Flowers by
Roots Near Car Barn.

The city employees working near
the car barns Friday a. m. noticed
a man acting in a peculiar manner
in the fields back of the barns. He
seemed very much interested in the
shrubs and flowers and intent upon
pulling them up by the roots. He
was left to himself for an hour or
so until he approached the barns
acting in the same strange manner.
Chief of Police J. w. Durkee was
then communicated with. After
consulting with Grand Juror Bur-
ton E. Bailey it was decided to go
out and have a look at the mau.
When the officers arrived he was
found picking flowers by the road
side and taken into custody on a
nominal charge of intoxication, al
though he was visibly insane, pos
sibly due to the intense heat. The
mans name is Louis Lassee.

LODGE HALL PLANS.
Practically Decided Upon by Odd
FelIOMs--A Spacious Dining Hall.

At the regular meeting of YER
mont lodge of Odd Fellows, July
2S, plans were practically complet-
ed for the remodelling of the Elm
street property which Is to be its
headquarters when completed. An
addition is to be built along the en-
tire rear Of the building making the
structure almost perfect rectangle
in shape. The third floor Is to be
utilized for lodge and ante rooms
and is adequate for these purposes.
The second floor will be given over
almost entirely to large dining or
banquet hall, capable of seating Wis
iting conventions or filling the needs
of the lodge on other special occa-
sions while the first floor will be
converted into apartments which
will be let for private purposes or
for office rooms.
The lodge mas decided upon these
plans as the most practical and
suitable to its needs and the spa
cious dining hall will be the second
largest in the city FOR similar pur-
poses.

SHOT WITH AN AIR GUN.
william Johnson, Ten Year Old Lad,
Injured BY Boys at Play.

A crowd of boys playing with an
air rifle in front of Seguin's News
Agency late Friday afternoon be-
came inbued with "Wild West"
ideas, which resulted in the shoot
ing of William Johnson, the ten
year old son Of Henry Johnson, OF
20S Main street, in the right arm.
The boys were playing with the
rifle, taking turns at shooting with
and without loading the gun as the
compressed air coming from an
air rifle makes a pleasing sound to
youngsters ears whether it con-
tains a double B" shot or not.
Finally it came young Charlie
Doyle's turn. He tried the gun
couple of times then putting shot
into the muzzle he pointed it at the
young Johnson boy and without any
warning. pulled the trigger.
Johnson Immediately cried out
that he was shot. DR.. Charles New
comb was standing near and took
the Johnson boy into Seguin's
store, where his wound was dress
ed. Later DR.. Fred E. Steele, the
family physician was called.
