While not feeling inclined to take any
very active part in fight between two
worthy Democrats for the gubernatorial
nomination, this paper has not failed TO

popular as it is today. is one of the
reasons leading us to believe that he
merits substantial recognition.-Glou-

IL is probably because James Trehy.
the boss" of Norfolk. is supportino
Judge Mann that Mr.. Tucker is charq-
ing league with the .'whiskv RING

proof than that. Mr.. Trehy makes
public reply as follows: Judge Mann
has been my friend. He is for local on
ton and so am /. We are all for local
option and so is Judge Mann. What
little influence have shall use with
my friends to support Judge Mann F"
further than the statement quoted Mr..
Irehy refused to talk. He said he did
not see why anyway he should express

TEMPE AND MESA UNITE
ON BRIDGE PROPOSITION
DISCUSS THE BEST MEANS OF
HANDLING THE LOCATION.
The Disadvantage Pointed Out BY
Center Street Site.

That there is a general feeling that
the bridge across Salt river should be
located at Tempe was evidenced at the
meeting of the chamber of commerce
with the Tempe board of trade at the
free reading rooms in this city when
c. q. Jones, c. c. Woolf Charles Har-
ris. J. b. Cook and b. B. Mouer ap-
peared as a committee from the city
down the river to learn the opinion of
Msea on the proposition.
Among other things brought out by
the discussion is that Tempe feels that
there will be a fight waged and thta
the one idea is for that town to be up
and doing. The trip here was for the
purpose of working up enthusiasm and
incidentally a little systematic work
preceding the election which will be
held in the near future to settle the
discussion of whether a bridge is to be
built at the Center street crossing or
at Tempe
1t Is only logical to expect that
Mesa will favor the Tempe site from
the fact that it will mean a saving of
N least an hour on making the trip
TO Phoenix by any conveyance other
than an automobile. while the building
Of the road on the south side Of the
river from the Center street crossing
10 Tempe it was stated would nearly
approach the entire cost of the bridge
II was demonstrated further that
Mesa is alive To- the situation and will
assist in the formulating Of plans for
the election.

German is a new study this term
and is taught by Miss Wren. Ii was
necessary To- find an instructor in both
science and German. and the students
from each year are taking it making

Siegfried is not so difficult and the
principal disadvantage is not in hav-
ing Germans to speak with.
The senior class have been trying
their nerve at writing poetry. When
this subject was reached in rhetoric
each member Of the class was required
to compose lines of trochiac. iambic
and dactylic verse and then as a final
trial. a poem Of not less than three
stanZaS. The result was better than
Miss Andrews had hoped for. The
meter ranged from tripping Iambic
tetrameter couplets to the heptameter
and the theme from the story Of an
abscondinE school boy playing hooky
for a fishing trip. The effort was all
right for the first offense but we judge
that the old saying is still true that

MEXICAN ATTACKED
BY |HFURIATED CH|NK
Described a Knife as Six Feet in
Lennth.

Possibly the longest knife ever de
scribed by an excited Mexican was
that Of yesterday afternoon when Gar
cha from Granite Reef wished to make
complaint against the waiter in the
Chinese restaurant known as Hi Logs
place. The waiter I'm question has one
Of those peculiarly adjusted names
which may work well with an up and
down language but it is difficult OF
RECOMMENDATION in a straight away
tongue. However, the Mexican in
making the arrest did not care about
the name, he only wanted the man
who he claimed had attacked him. put
away some place where he would never
be able to get hold of another knife
The man from manana wished it in
corporatel in the complaint that the
knife was six feet long and persisted
in maintaining his position but was
finally convinced that that particular
description was not necessary to the
conviction of the Chinaman providing
of course that he was guilty Of assault
According to Marshal Peterson who
made the arrest the Mexican had. been
guilty OF imbibing too freely which
probably had something to do in his
description of the knife According to
Hi 10y the proprietor Of the place. the
Mexican came in and began to raise
a disturbance abusing the Chinese boy
in a shameful manner. II is further
stated that the boy who had an or
binary bread knife in his hands start
ed towards the Mexican and that as a
result pandemOnium reigned.
The case has been set and will be
heard before Justice Irwin. Hi 10y
who is better known as Dan. assured
the Officers that the boy would be
present at the trial
