"TRUSTY' STEALS GUN,
 STARTS ROUGH HOUSE
Phoenix Prisoner Given Too Much Liberty Nearly Be-
 comes a Murderer

PHoENIX. Aug. 1s.-You can't al ways trust a trusty.
 Especially you cant trust him when he fills up on red liquor, steals a re- yolver and starts out to shoot holes in his family.
 That's what Fiorencio Ruiz did yes terday and last night He got away with part of the job. and if 1t hadn't been for the interference of the police he might have carried out the whole program. The cops pinched him when he was fourishing gun and threat ening to yentilate his wife's anatomy. This occurred at the Ruiz home in Mexicanville on the south side
 Ruiz has been a prisoner at the county jail for the past ten days. A week ago Sunday he was arrested by Deputy Jeff Adams and Constable Jim Murphy for running a speak easy. He got a jail sentence and as he seemed 10 be a harmless sort of individual he was given the run of the county jail This taste of freedom only whetted his appetite for a larger mea- sure of liberty-also for a modicum of booze So yesterday afternoon he proceeded to shake the dust of the bastile from his feet
 But he didn't go away without the munitions Of war It happened that Deputy Sheriff Billy Wilson had left his gun lying under a pillow on one of the cots in a room in the rear Of the sheriff's quarters. Ruiz proceed ed to appropriate the gun and then spent the rest Of the evening filling up On choice assortment of dago red. By industrious application to the business in hand he was soon loaded to the guards, and then he be- thought himself of his own domiciie, where he had been an unknown quan- tity for more than a week
 Ruiz went home and found his wife there. He at once proceeded to as sume the authority that had been sus- pended by the iron hand of the law, and he began to give orders like a drunken martinet For some reason Mrs Ruiz incurred his anged and then ! the trouble began. which was finally ended by Ruiz being arrested and con ] veyed back to the Jail

 Bishop Win Make No Reply.
 SEAL HARBOR. Me. Aug. 1S.- Bishop Maekay Smith has closed his lips on the subject Of Dr. Richmond and his utterances concerning the As. tor-FoTee wedding. He is able to sail yawl about Frenchman's Bay and to indulge in other activities in and out of doors, but he is not able 10 see reporters when they call al his cot tage here, all messages passing through two or three hands before they reach the bishop.
 This evening he was inaccessible to a correspondent who called 10 in quire what he had to say regarding Dr. Riehmond's threat to publish all the bishops letters and to prosecute him unless he apologized for them. The bishop was at home but would not talk with the correspondent. A woman of business-like manner spoke for him. and evidently had her in. structions in advance, for she listened carefully and then abruptly announc- ed that the bishop would make no re. ply whatever.
 Not even in reply to the threat Of libel suit2'
 No, not a word.
 it was evident that Dr. Richmond s threats had been heard by the bishop.

PICTURESQUE LIAR
 THRILLS ALL TEXAS
Private in the Army Sends Out Some Wonderful Stories
 to Newspapers
(san Antonio Light. {,


 Away back to the utfermost rear for Dr. Cook. Baron Munchausen, Ananias and other famous members of their truth-managing cult. A new star has risen.
 Jules Verne in his palmiest days had nothing on a private in the Tenth infantry, U. $. A.. who has been writ. inging pieces for the paper" at Gar. rettsvilie. Ohio. Listen to this:
 There are now 3O.000 soldiers in the maneuyer camp at Fort Sam Houston; there are 5000 soldiers sta- tioned in Mexico to keep them from having war. They have sham battles with the Mexieans every day; Texas is settled almost entirely by Mexi- cans, there being very few white peo. pie; the sun shines every day, but the wind blows So that it raises such clouds of dust and sand that for days the sun can ont be seen there are cracks in the ground ten feet wide into which cattle are blown by the wind and never get out alive"
 And 1t Was Believed.
 These give an idea to what heights the correspondent scared on the wings of imagination. There were columns more of similar matter And the people back in Ohio liked his inn pressions of the Lone Star state. It is a popular impression in some parts of the north and east that Texas is the free and untrammeled abode of the savage, that bold. bad men exist for no other purpose than to shoot all those who happen to cross theil paths and that safety for all civilized people lies in keeping without the boundaries So with each issue of the Garrettsville paper containing the literary observations of the devotee of Mars, the circulation increased by leaps and bounds.
 And here would end the story il by chance a copy of the paper con taining the above extract greatly elaborated, had not drifIed down to San Antonio and fallen into the hands or a prominent citizen who does not care to have truth so man-handled, particularly when San Antonio re ceives the brunt of the abuse. :.
 Asks That Lid Be Put On.
 The matter was taken mp with the proper military authorities and they wenc asked if some measures might not be taken to induce the literary private to corfine his wonderful i'm. agination to the realms of pure fife. tion instead of sending out to the world such monstrous yarns about San Antonio.
 Woe be upon the luckless private, When he was hauled befor his col onel who sat with knitted brows and confronted him with the fruits of his labors, his once feryid imagination had a decided relapse. It could not be brought to rally when in answer to questions he was forced to admit that it was his master mind that con ceived the stories which were so pleasing to the folks back home
 Used T. R.'s. FaVorite.
 "In other words queried the col onel in his harshest voice, you are plain. unvarnished liar?'
 Yes, sir. stammered the once hopeful aspirant for a seat beside the immortal Jules Verne.
 And the end of the pathetic tale is that the energetic disciple of the art of prevarication was instrI.cted to writer a letter to the editor on whom he had foisted his efforts and tel him in So many words that he was just what the colonel had called him

The total school enrolment was H.

ance was l2,i54,l72, Less than one
half OF the children went TO school

not enrolled.
Women teachers outnumbered the

who believe that too many women

from any point of view. The public
schools In 1908 cost $37l IA $40, an In
crease of ~ .l5j ,877 over the previous
