"The Souaw Man" Tonight.


One of the most intense scenes
in THE Squaw Man" is that in
the second act, when Cash Haw-
kins, the "rustler," invites the
cowpunchers in the Long Horn
saloon to drink with me-" the in
vitation is emphasized with a
drawn 44-Colt. 1t is not used be-
cause Hawkins had the drop on
every man present, and each indi-
vidual knew it. This is one of the
few cases on record where bad
man" pulled a gun and did not
use it, and that the failure later
cost Hawkins his life.
"The Squaw Man" will be play
ed at. the Tacoma theater tonight
by an Eastern company.

Miss Maxine Elliott comes to
the Tacoma theater next Tuesday
might in THE Inferior Sex" the
jolly nautical comedy from the
pen of Frank Stayton, with which
she captivated New York theater-
goers last winter and spring, play
ing a supplementary engagement
at her own theater this autumn.
Miss Elliott, who is the only
woman in the cast, will have prac-
tically the same supporting cast
which was with her in New York
and identically the same produc-
ton, which shows the cabin and
decks of luxuriously appointed
yacht and which is especially
lavish.
The story has to do with man
who hates women and who has
put to sea in his yacht in order
that he may wear out his soul in
animosity for the members of
what he is pleased to call "the
inferior SEX" Circumstances
bring a beautiful woman aboard
the yacht and in the end he falls
captivated to her charms. In the
company supporting Miss Elliott
are Frederic Kerr, o. B. Clarence,
Bertram Grassby, Felix Edwardes
and T. Tamamoto, gentleman of
Japan.

42nd WEEK
Two Men Fight
Duel at MOrenci

Last Friday morningin a pistol
duel at Morenci Len Scott and
George Johnson shot and killed
each other. 1t was about 5 O'Clock
in the morning and two men had
been together during the night
raiding Chinese hop dens; they
were officers, Scott being Const-
able and Johson Deputy Sheriff;
the cause is said to be the out
growth of an old grudge; they
had just come out of a Saloon in
New Town" a surburb of Mo-
renci and it was there in the
street where a few words were
passed and the shooting took
place.
Johnson is a half breed Mexi-
can and was Deputy Sheriff.
Scott had served as Deputy She
riff for Several years and was
considered a good off icer and
still held the office of Constable
having been elected in 1908. The
two men died almost instantly.
Scott living only few minutes
after being taken to the hospital.
The detailed reports of the
affair are somewhat conflicting
but, without going into detail.
the above seems to be about what
all, who seem to know anything
about the affair, concede to be
the facts.
Scott, physically, was a giant
and had many friends; he had
recently gone into the cattle busi-
ness on Squaw Creek in the up
per end of the county. He was
Texan and his parents now live at
Carlsbad, New Mexico. Mr.. Scott
entered the race last summer
for Sheriff in Greenlee County on
the Democrat ticket, but with
drew his name before the prima-
ries came off.

School Will Soon Be Out.

Only four more weeks of school.
This will end one of the most
successful terms in the history
of Duncan; the attendance has
been good, no contagious diseas-
es to mar the progress, interest
maintained throughout the school
pear and the high class of work
done by the corps of teachers
has put Duncan schools among
the foremost in this section of
Arizona. There is a broad differ
ence between TEACHING school
and KEEPING school. Ours is a
progressive teaching school and
the value of such work with the
coming men and women cannot
be estimated in dollars and cents.

parts of the district and to those

in securing Duncan as the place
for holding this spiritual feast.
1t certainly is no small honor to
be favored with the presence Of
the pastors and church-going
people of the Presbyterian
churches of southern Arizona

other good towns and railroad
centers within the district.
The Program is long enough to
cover four days and includes the
names of some very able minist-
ers; such as Rev. H. Cory Of
Globe; Krichbaum of Morenci,
F. C. Reid of phoenix and others.
Drs. Cook and Herndom will also
be here.
Every person who can should
make it a point to aid in entertain
ing those from a distance who
may attend the Presbytery here

Twin Peaks Mine
as Seen by Taylor

E. w. Taylor, who is conceded
to be one of the best business
men in Greenlee County, visited
the Twin Peaks Mining property
recently and this is what he has
to say regarding this coming bo-
nanZa:--
Il was surprised to see
such a vein of rich ore and the
progress that is being made in
the development work of this
property. In one of the shafts
which is 200 feet two drifts are
made, one to the north and one
to the south. Is and 210 feet re-
spectively; and, in one of these
drifts | saw. with my own eyes,
a vein of ore from s inches to 5
feet in width and the farther the
drift goes the wider the vein
gets. I verify believe that the
Twin Peaks mines will prove to
be one of the biggest mining
companies in Arizona, and it is
we'll known that we have some
big ones.
Mr.. Taylor says further,
While there | met all the boys
and was treated royalty.
