1t is almost impossible to mistake

And still there are many persons

TO SELL CANAL TO

Arrangements Being Made for the
Transfer of kyrene Ditch.

more or less properly called, was held
Saturday afternoon. Though no bust
ness of Importance was transacted
an opening was made for the trans

at a later date
1t is expected that in short time
the Kyrene stockholders will sell out
To the government. Much of the land
under that ditch is already signed up,
and if all of the stock can be sold
To the government a good sized sum
can be realized, as the reclamation
service would prefer to take over the
present canal instead of parallelling it
with new ditch. Arrangements have
been made to run the water for that
ditch through the Saylor ranch and
under the Goodwin dicth as soon as
the negotiations with the government
are brought to a satisfactory conclu-

A Drunken Yaquj Col Away
With Horse
WAS LODGED IN JAIL
Took a Farmers Horse and

Him to It's Owner S
Home in the Dark

1t is high time that something was
being done with a certain class of
Yaquis who make it practice to load
up on cheap booze every Saturday
night and who from then on until
morning are likely To do most any
thing. \ week ago Saturday one in
that condition made every effort to
wipe out the c. H. Green family on
the Yeager ranch, and night before last
another one drove off with Frank
Saylor's horse and buggy
Mr.. Saylor and his son came to
town in the late afternoon. leaving
the rig tied at the National bank
corner. Mr.. Saylor left a few pur-
chases in the rig about half past seven
and with his son attended the picture
show. Returning to the bank after
the show he found the outfit gone
He notified the officers and securing
another rig put in some time hunting
over the town in the hope that per
haps the horse had broken loose and
was straying about town. Finding
nothing of it. he left for home about
midnight. Arriving there he found
the horse and buggy i'm the front
yard. the horse trying vainly to get
into the pasture. The buggy was oc-
cupied by a dead drunk Yaqui, who
was rolled up in the seat snoring
off the effect of the booze Mr. Say

and, opening the door of the granary.

corted him to the granary and locked
the door on him. He then called up
the officers and about 3 o'clock Con-
stable Estrada arrived and took the
man back to town, where he was
lodged in jail for the rest of the night
He will probably have hearing
some time today on some sort of a

POOL HALLS
FIGHT BACK
A Counter Petition Put Into
Circulation
AGAINST SUNDAY CLOSING
Warm Time Expected in
the Council Toni G h t
When Two Petitions AT
fecting the Halls Are
Presented
AGAINST SUNDAY CLOSING

The regular monthly meeting of the
city council tomorrow evening gives
promise Of being an entertainment
worth the price of admission from the
fact that the pool hall ordinance rel
alive To the Sunday closing and the
age limit Of minors will come up for
consideration. The petition circulated
few days ago will request
the mayor and council TO amend the
present ordinance now in force and
effect so that it will provide for Sun
day closing and also raising the age
limit to twenty-one years. The pool
hall interests since the appearance Of
the above mentioned petition have
been circulating a petition also which
will also be presented to the council
tomorrow evening in the event that
the matter comes up for consider
alton. The petition in defense of the
present ordinance is as follows
We. the undersigned citizens and
taxpayers of Mesa and vicinity re-
spectfully ask that your honorable
body in your deliberations on the at
tack made upon the pool halls Of
about 10 he presented to you. pray
that you will allow the ordinance now
in force and effect to remain un-
changed"
While the petitions are rather mild
" worded it is anticipated that the
real fight win take place on the floor
of the council room when the matter
comes up for consideration. 1t is I'M
derstood that the pool hall interests
will submit the argument in regard
to Sunday closing that the proceeds
from games on Sunday amount to
as much as the combined proceeds
of any other three days in the week
and that if the Sunday business is
taken from them that il will practi-
cally put them out of commission
They will likewise fight the amend
ment in regard To the age limit just
as strenuously i'm the event that the
council shows an inclination TO
change that portion of the ordinance.
