Normal Notes.

The Normal is now in the sec
ond week. There are still two
more weeks to teach. The teach
ers who are failing to attend the
Normal are missing great op-
portunity to improve themselves.
Itshas been my pleasure to attend
a great many N,rmll lis. | am
very much gratified to say tnat |
have never seen teacners take
more interest in the work and
work harder than the teachers
here.
Chancellor Kincannon deliver
ed an excellent address yesterday
before the teachers. The Chan
ccilor is in full sympathy with
the public schools. In a forcible
manner he gave the history of
the University, emphasizing its
present needs and work He cor
rected the erroneous impression
that the University was for rich
people only. He stated that the
necessary cost to attend the Uni,
versity was only $4,000 for the
entire session. This amount
could be greatly lessened by boys
working. Last year about thirty
paid nearly all their expenses by
acting as janitors and waiting on
the tables.
In case there are any new teach
ers coming ,ir next Monday please
notify us at once by letter or
phone. We will meet you in Cor
inth. However this will not be
done unless you write us at once.

MABaBl RANcHE SoLD.
a British Syndicate Acquires 8 Great
 Tract of Land South of Douglas.


 A press telegram from Douglas that became current last Saturday conveyed the following very inter. esting account of great land transaction that had been just completed:
 One of the most important real estate transactions that has been perfected in Sonora for long time, even if not the greatest known, is reported in Douglas today. It comes in the announcement that the famous "Lot 4" or Mababi ranch has been sold by the Bank of Sonora to British syndicate and that tie purchase price has been cabled 10 the bank. thus com. pleting the transaction. This means the transfer of an immense and very valuable tract of land, containing some 100000 acres, which is located a little south of this city. Its easterly boundary line is about fifteen miles west of Yzabel on the Nacozari railroad. The purchase price is not given in the report of the transaction which has reached Douglas, but 1t Is pro- bably large, for the tract is very valuable.
 Lot A." or the Mababi ranch was prominently before the people of the southwest, especially Ari- zona and Sonora, for number of years because of the long, tedious and bitterly fought litigation with which it was connected. A man named Carpenter is said to have been the owner, and it was as re- suit of his actions that the involved litigation arose. The property was claimed by McCurdy, Alexander and others of the Equitable Life crowd, which was represented in this part of the country by Booth royd, New York lawyer, formerly connected with the office of Alex. ander and Greene, who were coun- sel for the Equitable. The litiga- ton finally ended when the Bank of Sonora foreclosed its mortgages on the premises and they were knocked down to it.
 Since the Bank of Sonora ac- quired title to the great ranch there has been nothing heard Uf 1t until now, and new corners are hardly aware that such an i'm mense tract in one piece lies so close to Douglas. It runs about seventy five miles from east to west and is in width about forty miles from north to south. Work in fencing a part of it, 100000 acres, has just been completed and 1t is understood that the bank pur. chased and put on it several thous' and head of cattle just before the deal with the British syndicate was perfected.
 What the plans of the syndicate of purchasers are has not been an nounced, but it is probable that some of them or their representa-

tives will be in Douglas before long to visit the property.

For three nights the police have

made himself heard from II o'clock
at night until three O'Clock In the
morning.
Mrs. Laura Amos, who. with her
family lives there. tried broom. pans
of cold water and heavily hurled
Bibles. but they failed. The ghost
raped on.
Mr.. Amos. being away at work at
night, could only offer good advice in
the case. So the police came in to
prove that ghosts didn't really exist.
Patrolman Hultan, the man ON the
beat. swung jauntily up to the door
three nights ago, to put the vaporous
man from the other world to flight.
He failed. He fansd three kittens IN
the back yard. and he put them in

started to rattle dishpans, pound on
all the windows ct once, shake the
curtains Of several rooms At the same
time. and make noises that made the
copper drop his club.
Detective Dohnsy gave up ths hght
and reported to his captain that he
believed in ghosts. The, others said
they didn't know what they helisyed,
but they certainly couldn't locate the
man from the other side Of the world.
