BURNING HENS NEST
 CAUSED FIRE ALARM
The Department Arrived in Good Time . But Was Not Needed.

A fire alarm Tuesday afternoon created more than the usual amount of excitement. but fortunately it turn ed out to be a small affair. It could hardly be called a false alarm for there was a fire. Mrs. Samuel Brown was engaged in fumigating a hens nest in the barn. A small boy in that neighborhood, seeing the smoke issu- ing from. the cracks in the barn, ran to a telephone and called up Fire Chief Lukin. The alarm was given and this alarmed Mrs. Brown. She turned the hose on the hens nest but instead of having the desired effect, it only created more smoke. The department made record breaking run to the Brown residence, but by that time the fire was all out and the volum of smoke was gradually diminishing.

4 YAQUl UPRISING
 GUADALUPE VILLAGE
Those Engaged, in it Will Have a
 Hearing Today.

There was something of an upris- ing at the Yaqui- village of Guadalupe southwest of Tempe about midnight Tuesday night. As, result of it two Yaquis are now in jail, one Is out on bail, still another is laid up in bed with a cracked head and another one has hit the high places for parts un- known.
 It was hard to gather the particu- lars of the story from the party of Yaquis who gathered at the office of the justice of the peace yesterday. Some told one thing and some anoth- CT. All seem to agree, however, that there was a fight of considerable pro- portions. It seems to have started by one of the Yaquis hitting a fellow countryman over the head with an empty beer bottle. inflicting a serious wound. This Yaqui is still languishing in bed. His friends took up the con- troversy and a general melee ensued in which one of the combatants drew six shooter and fire it promiscuous- ly about the town. Deputy Constable Miguel CuDez. who is held largely re- sponsible for the good behavior of the village. did what he could to duell the disturbance and sent word to town to Constable Estrada to come to his as- sistance. The constable responded and yesterday morning all the Yaquis mixed up in the row, with the excep- tion of the one in bed and the one who made his escace. were brought to town The six shooter that played prominent part in the fight was also brought along and is being held by the justice. It Is a 45 Colts of very ancient design, but in the hands of most any one could do serious damage to any one who missel from 1t might strike. The hearing of the Yaquis will be held this morning at nine o'clock

EXCHANGE OF WHEELS

Miss Maud Armstrong has bone to pick with some one. Day before yes terday someone took her wheel from in front of the Hodnett store and left in it's place, another wheel of the same make. This would be reasonably satisfactory arrangement if 1t was not for the fact that the wheel that was left is not equipped with chain and skirt guard. Consequently it is of no use to Miss Armstrong and she would very much like to have the exchange made over again.

WORK FOR ALL WHO WANT IT.

Manager Mlmford states that a large per cent of the ugar beets re- gently planted are now ready to be thinned out.
 Naturally the growers do not want to send outside for labor, and particu- larly for foreign labor if they can help doing so. There will be plenty to do in this line of work for. several weeks and now is the time for those who want something to do, to get busy. There will be plenty of work for all who apply. There will be no excuse for idle men as long as this part of the work continues. The beet crop is looking fine and big harvest is look ed for

TEACHERS EXAMINATIONS.
One More Day and Grind VIII BE at
An End.

One more day of examinations and
the teachers will be through. The
county examinations will be COM
pleted tonight. and Saturday night
viii see the finish of the state ex-
aminations. The questions today in
cluded physiology, geography. alge-
bra, English literature and the sci
ence of law, for the state papers, and
the examination for county certificates
was on geography, science of law,
civil government and English litera-
ture. .......
The board of examiners came very
nearly being without the questions on
the subject of the science of law. for
when they opened the sealed package
that contained the questions it was
found that the package held only one
paper with the necessary questions,
while the others were all on the the
ory of teaching. Thinking that the
two packages had been mixed the
theory of teaching" package was
opened, but this was found to be all
right.
It was only after a search had been
made that the one paper was found
and It was necessary for the questions
to be read to the applicants while
they copied them down.
Superintendent Welles says that the
questions are not difficult and that
the applicants usually pass at the
first attempt. The reading and or
biography tests were unusually long
however. the time taken in completing
the subject being nearly three times
as long as in previous years.

Mrs ing Goey. not being able to
obtain bonds which had been set by
the justice court at $500, is now in
the county Jail for the alleged theft
of S4O0 which was taken from the
room of ing Joe. When seen in the
Jail this morning she denied having
taken the money and said that she
thought some of the Cinnamon had
taken 1t and had accused her of the
crime. No trace has been found OF
the missing money and it is possible
that she is the victim of a plot which
was hatched up among the men with
whom she does not find favor.
1t seems there is a factional enmity
between the north and the south side
of the street, and while she is held
in favor among the north siders. that
she is disliked by residents of the
south side. upon which her own and
her husbands property is located. The

We Of this day must try to solve
many social and industrial problems,
requiring to an especial degree the
combination of ,ndomitable resolu-
tion with cool-hcaded sanity. We can
profit by the way in which Lincoln
used both these traits az he strove for
reform. We can learn much of value
from the very attacks which follow
ing that course brought upon his head
attacks alike by the extremists of
revolution and by the extremists OF
reaction. He never wavered In devo-
tion to his principals, in his love for
the Union. and in his adherence of
slavery. Timid and lukewarm peo-
pie were always denouncing him be-
cause he was too extreme; but as
matter Of fact he never went 10 eX-
tremes, he worked step by step; and
because of this the extremists hated
and denounced him with a fervor
which now seems to US fantastic in its
deificaton Of the unreal and the i'm
