the smell Of the popcorn might raise
the heart in his bosom But Tobin
was a hard headed man, and the sad

teeth at the crying balloons. he cursed

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
IN THE CANANEA TROUBLE

Anent the election of last Sunday
and the disouieting rumors and re
ports as TO Cananea conditions which
have preceded that election the So
nora News. issued last Monday in
Cananea. prints the following:
During the past week tranquility
reigned in the Cananea district, and
yesterday, when it was more prob
able that disturbances would occur,
the city was more peaceful than on
any other Sabbath day. During the
week there was dirth of wild ru-
nors Of impending disaster, riodng.
etc. undoubtedly on account OF the
people having strengthened their
faith in the officials being able to
handle matters. and also because
they saw the folly Of even having
the faintest suspicion that trouble
might occur.
During the week 100 soldiers ar
river from HermOsilio. and twenty
Of them were sent to Naco on Tues
day morning when the officials there
had asked for assistance. they be-
lieving that trouble was imminent.
But. as was p7ophesied by the sono-
ra News. nothing out Of the ordinary
occurred
Governor Torres arrived here Sat
.urday noon to remain during the re-
mainder of the summer. When seen
by a Sonora News man yesterday
morning he stated that there was
not the least indication Of trouble at
any place in Sonora. and that he had
just received word from Vice Presl-
dent Ramon Corral to the effect that
tranquility remained throughout the
entire republic.
The election yesterday was not un.

like any other affair OF the same i'm

barracks most OF the day. leaving in
groups for the polls 10 vote. There
was not an armed soldier to be seen
except at the jail. the men going
about unarmed just the same as
heretofore on Sundays as is their
habit
One fact that was brought out yes
terday was the fact that the anti
re-electionists showed themselves to
be. not against the government, but
supporters Of law and order, which
shows the injustice Of speaking Of
them as "revolutionists." The re-
urns show that they voted according
, their beliefs.
Too much credit cannot be given

and rurales. The latter are in charge

ing the outlying district Chief OF
police Rafael Lopez was theoretically
on the lookout for any indications of
unrest but was unable to locate any
serious disturbances. which. however,
did not occasion any surprise. He
realizes that the citizens Of Cananea
are law abiding and respect the
rights Of their fellow men.
The quiet passing OF the election
speaks volumes Of the high stand
ard of the guardians OF the peace in
Cananea and also OF the degree Of
patriotism shown by the citizens
For the men at the head Of the city

CASE ON TRIAL
STORY OF SHOOTING OF POLICE
MAN IN SHELTER CITY BY WILL
LlAMS.

DOUGLAS, June 3O.-(Special.) y
An important case from Doug
las will come up for trial at
Tombstone tomorrow, it is expected.
This is the case of the territory
against Dan Williams, accused OF as
sault with a deadly weapon upon for
mer police official Russell nearly
year ago. Deputy Porter Mcdonald
was in Douglas yesterday to subpoe-
na the Witnesses in this case and
most of them leave this afternoon or
tomorrow morning for the county
seat; an exception to the rule be-
ing City Marshal Igo. who is ex-
cused until he shall be notified TO at
tend.
The shooting of Russell by Dan
Williams. who was then the propri-
etor OF the Grove saloon, stirred
Douglas when it occurred late last
summer. The two were said to have
previously had difficulty and the tes-
.inony Of Witnesses at the prelimin-
airy hearing differ somewhat as to
the actual occurrences Of the night
which led up to the shooting and
near tragedy. Russell interfered
when drinks were being served to
women Of the half world back Of
Williams saloon. an alteration fol
lowed and Russell was then thought
to have been fatally wounded, while
Williams was also shot. AS a result
Of the affair Williams ultimately lost
his license. He has been out on bail
ever since the hearing
It was said yesterday afternoon
that Russell would arrive in Tomb
stone today and the case would com
mence as soon as the Mcdonald
case. a trial for murder. was ended.
Letters from Russell state that he
Is still partially paralyzed, but Is
now able to get about on clutches
At first it was believed that he would
always be paralyzed from the waist
down. but his progress has been slow
and steady towards recovery.
A number OF witnesses to the case
were subpoenaed here.
