MEXICAN STABS HIS
 PARAhOUR AND FLEES
MAKES AN UGLY CASH IN Wom. ANS SHOULDER AND sLAsHEs HER ARM

Officers had lively time of it last night searching the hills in the vicin- !ty of the old customs house. halfway between Bisbee and Lowell looking for one Maximana Mota, Mexican, who had shown tendencies to cut up didoes with a long dirk
 His intended victim was Casimer Avaya. who lies at the c. & 4. hospital with knife slashes on her right shoul- der and right arm. just above the el- bow. The trouble started about | o'clock last night. Mota and the Avaya woman had been living together for several months, and though both well past the youthful stage, couldn't resist the temptation to indulge in a lovers quarrel
 As a result thereof, Mota, so it Is al legged, drew dagger, lunged fierceiy at the woman, catching her in the shoul- der. The knife, as 1t descended, gashed her arm. Mota then made a flying leap over an embankment, drop ped dozen feet, turned and ran back into the hills at the rear of the house. The affair was witnessed by a couple of small boys. one of them the Avaya wonan's son by her former marriage.
 "Mota is nothing to me- he said, talking excellent English. He just lives with my mother. that's all. He treats her mean, too. sometimes" The Palace ambulance was called and the injured woman taken to the c. & A. hospital. Deputy Sheriff Win White and Constable McRae at cnce drove to the house, and spent about an hour delving under houses, scaling embankments, walls and hills. exploring every nook where man could hide, but without result. It is expected that Mota made bee line for the border, and officers there have been Instructed to look out for hom He has a brother living on a ranch in Mexico who killed a woman in Douglas some time ago. It is thought that Mota. thinking he had killed the Avaya woman. is making tracks for his brothers ranch. Mota was former ly employed by the street cleaning de- pertinent.

HIGH PRICED FEED CAUSE FARMERS LOSS
GENTLEMEN FEEL THAT PROFITS CANNOT BE REALIZED FROM PRESENT PRICES.


 San Antonio, Texas. Dec. 2.-As a result of the high price of corn and other feed stuffs. Texas eattlemen will not be in position to do much fattening-up of stock, and beef to wards the end of the winter will in all likelihood take another tremend ous bounce upward. Tn the meantime the Texas cattle markets are having a heavy ru nand beef cattla are not selling. at even fair prices. one of the facts that prolonged drought throughout he West has left the stockmen with poor pastures, most of them are anxious to dispose of as many animals as possible At St. Louis. Chicago, Kansas City and Fort Worth 73,OO3 head of beef cat tie were offered within twenty-fou- hours early this week.
 owing to the fact that the pack CTS have pushed down the price of live stock to the minimum while iE- sisting on very high prices for their packed products, feeling among stock men Is rather bitter, Prominent stockmen of Texas are of the opinion that their organization wifi ultimate ly be forced to establish packing ot their own and thus escape the rapac- ity of tue meat trust.

POLLARD SEES BRIGHT
 FUTURE FOR Y.M.C.A.

D. w. Pollard, terr.tor:aI secretary of the Y. N. c. A., is very optimistic as regards the outlook of association work in Arizona. MT. Pollard is now in temporary charge of the local as sociation until a successor to c. F. Buchner- can be supplied
 MT. Pollard came to Blsbee from Phoenix. where he took part in the laying of the corner stone of the handsome new Y. M. c. A. building, considered by many to be the finest structure Of its kind in ;he South west.
 The services, he says, attendant upon the laying of the cornerstone were very impressive and taken part in by all the clergy of the city anu many from outside points. Promir,- ent Y. NJ c. A. workers from differ ent parts of the territory were also present
 Mir Pollard states that the funds are secured for the completion of the structure and that workmen are gu- in righ; ahead with operations. ex- peeting to have the roof On and the building ready for occupancy in a very few weeks.
 The swimming pool 2Ox6O feet in dimensions. will soon be ready for use and is said to be the larest and best equipped in the Southwest. MT Pollard Is also actively engaged in creating an association spirit in Tucson. Recently a Young Mems Sunday was held there at the various churches, both morning. afternoon and evening meetings being devoted exclusively to talks on association work. A special meeting was also held at the Chamber of Commerce. headquarters.
 While Tucson has no association at present" said Mir. Pollard. stherc are a large number of young men imbued with the spirit of the work and the good it will do. In the near future a boom for an association building will be begun and from the way they are ta&ing hold of the or ganization of the branch there. will go through to a successful termina- ton within short time A mum Der have already signifIed their will |ingness to aid financially and sub scription will probably be started within a very short time.v

PANAMA CANAL PROGRESSES
 WELL
c. 8. MARSHALL TELLS OF PERIL ous JOURNEY IN sAiLsoAF AND DESCRIBES CONDITIONS IN THE BIG DITCH ZONE.

A round of adventures such as few men would care to undertake are those which befeil C. B. Marshall. If Birmingham. Ala. and the Panama Canal. who left here recently for El Paso following brief visit. These included a iong sail in a specially pre-. pared sloop to Coiba island 49e miles northwest of the canal zone during which the voyagers were huffsted by heavy seas and landed only to find that their destination was anything but the paradise 1t had been pictured.
 Mir. Marshall who is veteran newspaperman left Albuquerque, N, M.. with Count Garibaldi of Isaiy. and E. E. Motter for Coiba where they hoped to find conditions favor able to establishing a colony, At Key West Fla. they procured g specially constructed sloop and set sail. stormy weather was encountered and at times the voyagers despaired of ever reaching the island which was their goal.
 Found the island fertile enough. said NIT. Marshall, in speaking of his trip. ~There was one serious draw back to our ever succeeding with a colony there. however. If all the snakes in the world were gathered and a census of species taken l do nos believe you would encounter any known to tropical climes which are not inc uded in tEe aggregation on that island. With many venemousi speciss and tie huge boa constructors to contend with. l; would be either a very determined og an exceedingly fooIhardy man who would attempt to settle upon the island. We therefore gave up the idea, counted the moneE expended as lost and set sail for Pau ana.
 Mr. Marshall stated that the canal work is being pushed with energy and tat it is practically half through Just how long it will require for com pjetion of the cast project no one at the canal pretends to know. heseated They are using all energy to fulfill the promise of the governIEon; that 1915 will witness the opening of the great gash between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. They are too buss ta devote much time to surmise.
 MT. Marshall, although reticen' about the business which brought hin to this section. is understood to b' connected with a colonization com many owning land in Mexico.
 MT. Marshall in describing hVina conditions in the canal zone beeam' enthusiastic. Good health and clean l;ness- is the slogan of the health de rsrtfhent which has proven so eih eient in the past and is doing greei things for the workers at present Wages are high and the general sty;s Of living far above the average in thi' country he declared.

 KEEPS QUIET
aExclusive Dispatch.9

TOMBSTONE, Dec. 2.-Those who have been expecting a huge political morsel q gossip when the grand jury returned its findings, are doomed to wait short time.
 The. jury adjourned this afternoon without dropping a hint of what had transpired within the secret chamber, where its members nave been closeted for week going over the records of various county officials, besides hay ing some of the officials themselves before them to explain certain trans actions.
 The sensation lovers will have to bide their time until the grand jury recoAvenes, which will not be until December 18th. It is understood the investigations have not yet been com pIeted.
 There was general sigh of relief among those who had been gathered before the jury in the investigation as they now have a respite for a few days.

The Corrty's Finances.

Since last weeks issue of THE TINES
showing the statement OF the financial
condition as furnished by the county
commissioners, we have received ar
amended statement from the clerk o:
the board. The original statement show
ed a deficit of s7.953.Sl, but the amend.
ed statement shows that the commits
sioners paid off from the county bond
fund S6.576.40,, on the approved claims,
reducing the deficit from 81, ,953.Sl, to
about 81 $500. Then he says further,
the county will get from the sale Of the
old court house $1,000, and probably
some money from the proceeds of the
dispensary when it disposes OF its stock,
this he says will practically put the dis
bursements even with the receipts.
The county IS still owing some out
standing claims and a note for s., 800 to
the State sinking fund commission; this
note together with the outstanding
claims, and the deficit, will amount to
between $4,000 and $4,000 to be provic-
ed for, in addition to the levy for ordi-
nary purposes.
The amended showing is disappoint-
ing also, we had hoped the year 1909
would show the county clear of debt,
with some surplus in it's treasury so that
the delegation would be able to reduce
rather than to Increase the tax levy,
but even an estims led deficit of about
Sc, 900 is not at ali an encouraging out
look for those who are called up to pro-
vide the necessary legislation for coun-
tv expenses.

Homicide Near Summerton.

Last Saturday night about II O'Clock
young negro man named Hampton
Hilton. nicknamed Sonny" and other:
wise called Willie King, was called TO
the door OF his home, about half mile
from Summervon and shot to death.
The shot was fred from shotgun at
such close range as to set the clothing
afre. The charge took effect in the
upper part of the left side of the chest,
causing death in short while from
shock and hemorrhage. Coroner J. E.
Hodge held an inquest on Sunday,
when, from the rather meager evidence
brough out, the jury found that Hilton
came to his death from a gunshot
wound at the hands of William Nc
Leod, another negro, and that the de-
ceased's wife, Ritus Hilton, was an ac-
cessorv before and after the fact. Both
of the accused were arrested and lodged
in Jail to await trial The deceased
negro was about 20 years old, and it
is said that his wife was given to f;rt-
ing with other men, one Of her ad-
mirers being the accused, William Nc
Leod. Mcleod denies the charge against
him, while the accused woman pre-
tests injured innocence.

Cooper's presence was much appreciat-

for long time. The rank of Esquire
was conferred upon Rev. G. A. Waters,
and this was source Of qualification
also, because Mr.. Waters is noted foE

Few Buried Alive.

ut might be incidentally mentioned
for the relief Of anxious SOULS says
DR.. Woods Hutchinson IN the Amer
lean Magazine, that the risk OF any
individual passing into trance and
remaining in It long enough to be
buried alive Is exceedingly slight.
There is no authentic instance OF this
having ever occurred. I took occasion
to Investigate this question some years
ago and communicated with number
Of leading undertakers, and they all
unanimously denounced 1t as one OF
the myths Of the times. One OF them
at the time president Of the National
Funeral Directors association, In
formed me that he had carefully In
restigated every instance Of burial
alive reported In the newspapers FOR
fifteen years past and found every one
Of them to be, In his own language, a
pure fake"
