HE ESCAPED THE HEAT
BY Leaving Boston Just in
Time, Visited Many In
teresting Point in East
and Met Many Presidents
of State Normal Schools.

President A. j. Matthews of the
Tempe Normal school returned to
Tempe yesterday from his eastern trip
after an absence of nearly two months.
The trip was made primarily for the
purpose of attending the National
Educational Convention, which con-
vened in Boston July To 10, but incl
dentally he visited many points of in
terest, saw many old friends and ac-
quaintances and saw a great deal of
country.
Going from here directly u Chicago
he took roundabout way of reaching
Boston and by so doing saw a great
deal of the New England states. The
convention was a highly successful
one. say Mr. Matthews. The attend
ance was not as great as il has been
in years past, but nearly every one who
attended was a bona fide teacher
Ususally many others are attracted by
the cheap rates. During the session
President Matthews had an opportuni-
ty to make the acquaintance of many
normal presidents and probably met
more than so per cent of the normal
presidents Of the United States dur
ing the ten days of the convention. He
still remains a member of the council
Of the association and is also the Ari-
IONA director.
After the association had concluded
its work he enjoyed trip to Portland,
Me, on an excursion. Returning to
New York city he spent a week or so
there visiting a brother-in-law, and
then visited his old home and Mrs.
Matthews home i'm Central New York
Before leaving the state. he crossed
over the Canadian line and spent
couple of days with Mr.. and Mrs. j. F.
Hall, who are spending their honey
moon at Fort Stanley, near Mr.. Halls
home in London, Canada.
The professor then returned to Chi
cago for a short time and leaving
there for home, made a tour south,
taking in Jackson. Miss. New Orleans
and other southern cities. Most of the.
time he enjoyed excellent weather and
was sufficiently fortunate to be out Of
Boston for the few days Immediately
following the convention when the
record for heat prOstrations was
broken.

Picked IN WINDOW
CAUGHT IN THE ACT
He Left in Hurry and Went Through
Wire Fence.

During the storm night before last
a man was discovered looking into one
of the windows of the j. A Dimes
home on West Seventh street. What
the man was after could not be de-
termined for he did not take time to
offer any explanation when he was dis
covered. Mrs. Cosner. living next door.
noticed him looking through a window
when a flash of lightning lit up the
yard. She called to DR.. Dimes, who
was sleeping on a cot a little distance
from where the man was standing.
The doctor reused up just in time to
get a distinct view of the man as he
went over the front fence. A vivid
flash of lightning made it as bright as
day and the doctor contends that had
he been sufficiently awake he could
have recognized the man if he had ev-
er seen him before. He noted that he
wore dark trousers, a white shirt and
a white hat. The man evidently lost
no time in getting across the road, for
ii seemed but a moment from the time
Mrs. Cosner called until the stranger
struck a barb wire fence across the
street

whether il was originally a giant cac-

was burned and lay upon the grouno

ANOTHER EFFORT
BUT LITTLE RAIN
A Hard Storm, But Not Enough Rain
to Count. $500.

The weather man made another de-
termined effort Sunday night to drop
a little moisture on Tempe and vicinity
but only partly succeeded. 1t did rain
for a moment, but for a moment only,
and the total precipitation did not set
tie the dust The storm came up rath-
er suddenly between 3 and 10 o'clock
from the south. There was a great
deal of lightning and considerable
wind. accompanied of course by the
usual amount of dust. The lightning
was of a rather peculiar nature. The
flashes came at close intervals, light
ing up the surroundings almost as
bright as day. The rain came about
10 O'Clock, a few big drops fell and
the storm passed on. Yesterday was
rather close and sultry, and old
timers predict that until there is good
hard rain, the weather is likely to re-
main about as it was yesterday.

BACK FROM NORTH
FOUND IT TOO COLO

Mr.. and Mrs. A. F. Bellamy returned
yesterday from Roseburg. Oregon
where they have been spending sever
al weeks with their daughter, Mrs.
Caddy Gillum. Mrs. Bellamy went
first and was joined by Mr.. Bellamy a
short time later. When they left here
the weather was comfortably hot, for
it was the warmest time of the sum-
mer. Imagine their surprise when
upon reaching ROseburg, they found it
necessary to hug a good hot stove to
keep comfortable. That was their ex
perience and they found it really too
cold to thoroughly enjoy the trip, so
they returned to southern California
after a visit with their daughter They
remained at the different resorts
around Los Angeles for a time and
then came on home. They expect to go
to Superior in a few days.

HEAVY RAIN SOUTH,
ONLY SHOWERS NORTH

The rain which reached Mesa Sun
day evening and which was thought
at the time to be quite general from
reports brought in yesterday appears
to have been a rain only to the south
and east of town.
At the government guage located a
mile north of town there was a
fifty sixth hundredths of an inch
while little farther to the north
there was only a light shower At
Granite Reef the guage showed only
a sixteen hundreths of an inch A
heavy rain fell i'm Mesa. but the real
article was that which nearly ap-
preached a miniature clOudburst to
the south. 1t was reported from the
Chandler ranches seven miles south.
that one and one-half inches of rain
had fallen. Yesterday morning the
ground was covered with water, which
had fallen before midnight and the
irrigation bitches were running bank
full in carrying off the waste
Residents arrived in town from
Higley stated that it was the first
real rain that many of them had
ever seen in that section. The bounda-
ries run in nOrthwesternly direction.
At the point where the Roosevelt road
crossed the Eastern canal the rainfall
was very heavy and the spillways
leading from the desert into the
canal performed their first service
since they were installed at the time
the canal was built last January. One
mile north of the Roosevelt road,
the rain was very light, while at
Desert Wells there was only a light
sprinkle.
Some wind accompanied the rain,
within the city limits one of the large
pepper trees in the Chandler Court
being considerably damaged so that
a good portion of the top had to
be chopped out.
The Reclamation service officials
report only a slight rise in the canals
and of short duration.
1t was reported that some hail had
fallen to the south of town during
the latter part of the storm. No ser
ious damage as a result of the rain
has been reported although it is not
known whether there have been any
washouts in the canal on the south
or not.
