alleged action between the 5nSu- rrectos and the troops, with several casulties chronicled, and the alle- gation that the troops had been over powered, captured and disarm- ed. A Guaymas newspaper had m account somewhat similar, but not quite so sensational. There had been an encounter, but the details were meager.
 From a gentleman from Hermo- silIo TIE OASIS learned that the report there was that the troops sent against the insurgents had overtaken, captured and disarmed them. and that they at no time exceeded twenty-five in number. These stories may be taken for what they are worth. Like so much of the war news that was printed during the first half of the year, there is small foundation in fact for a great, sensational story.

Should Lock Up Their Spoons.

ASSN SS NHSE SSSOuSs
 This week THE OASIS heard a true story which, although the oc- currerce related happened several years ago, has been told never be- fore and will be appreciated thor oughly by all readers of this news paper.
 Several years ago there was present at a social gathering in Tucson an individual who figured quite extensively in the Interna- tional Bank in Nogales, and was blamed greatly for the wrecking of that institution. But short time before he had returned from New York, and was attired in the height of fashion, wearing a Prince Albert coat and the usual accessories to such a garb, giving him something of a clerical appearance, and he was taken to be a clergyman by one of the gueste, lady who was a stranger in Arizona, knew little of local history, and particularly nothing about Nogales and it's International Bank episode. Now the lady mentioned had given chiromancy much study and was quite an adept in the art of palm istry. This fact was known to the lady of the house, who introduced the subject and informed the assembled company of her fair guests accomplishment. Immedi- ately the ex-banker extended his hand and asked a reading. After a reasonable amount of persuasion the lady took the extended hand and began a critical examination of the lines traced in its palm. Then, looking into his face with an arch and mischievous expression she said:
 q think that if people knew you we'll they would lock up their spoons when you are about"
 The explosion of laughter which came from the company and the fiery blush which spread over the face of the victim of the episode told the lady that he had skated onto thin ice and had broken through. All of those present were well aware of the International Bank affair and the part therein the embarrassed party present had taken, and he knew that they all knew, which made the situation somewhat awkward for a time. But after d while the feeling of con straint wore away. Later, wher the lady who read the palm wa; told the story she was dumfoundeC at having cut so deeply.

Writ of Habeas Corpus Issues.

About two years ago two boys from the Sonora side of the line, one named Enrique Paredes tha other Arturo Rodriguez, engaged in an altercation on International street, in front of the Monte Carlo saloon, the two and several others being between the building and the international line in the middle of the street. The boys were about fourteen years of age, and while residing in Nogales, Sonora, Pare des is native of Nogales, Arizona. In the squabble Paredes inflicted with a large pocket knife a wound in the abdomen of Ro- driguez, from the effects of which the lad died within thirty-six hours, peritonitis having superyen- ed. The boy who did the cutting hurried across the line and hasten. ed to hishome, and he has remain ed that side of the line ever since until Sunday evening of the present week.
 Under a provision in the Mex. ican law which provides for inquiry into and ni;hment of citizens of the republic for offences committed in foreign lands Paredes was ar. rested and given trial in the federal court in Nogales, Sonora, decreed guilty, and, in view of his tender years was given a sentence of two years in a correctional institution, as recited in a certificate from the court, filed in the district court in Nogales, Arizona.
 A year ago the matter was laid before the grand jury ofSanta Cruz county blythe father of the young boy who was killed, and that body found an indictment for murder. A bench warrant was issued, but it remained without service because the accused was without jurisdic- tiOn of the court.
 Last Sunday evening young Paredes ventured upon this side oi the line and attended the show at the Lyric theatre. He was taken in custody at once and lodged in jail under a warrant that was also out against him from Justice Chatham's court. Monday even ing he was released on a cash bail of $500; but later it was discovered that that action was illegal and invalid, and he was re-arrested upon the bench warrant against him out from the district court, the cash deposited for bail being re. turned to those who put it up. The release occurred Thursday evening
 Now steps are being taken to apply for bail in due and legal form. To that end an application for a writ of Ina beas corpus is to be made today to the territorial court commissioner, Allen T. Bird. said writ returnable before Judge Doar at Tombstone, next Monday, wher the accused will be taken to Tomb stone by the sheriff, accompanied by his counsel, Hon. Frank J Duffy, and his bail fixed in accord ance with law.

HARM DONE 81 BARK BEETLE
Like Other Members Of Their Family
They Always Attack Weakened
and Starved Trees.

In peach orchards from New York
southwark to Virginia and westward
to Michigan the peach tree bark bee
tie has given occasional trouble since
about 1850. 1t is a hard-shelled in
sect about u inch long, and when it

holes like small shot holes in the
bark, hence 1t is sometimes called the
shot-hole borer The full-grown beetles
appear In early spring, burrow
through the bark to the sapwood,
and lay their eggs. The larvae soon
hatch and make little burrows of their
owns in various directions In about
one month they emerge and start a
second brood. The numerous burrows
eventually girdle and kill the trees.
Like other members of their family,
they rarely attack healthy trees, but
promptly recognize weakened and
starved trees, which soon show the
gummy exudations at points Of at
tack. This popularity suggests that
orchard trees should be kept in the
best possible vigor. and all that show
serious infestation should be prompt

to destroy all the insects nnder the

risk to other trees from increased

said Kelly. "A man engaged as an

was detained within by a sore thirst,
and they took the tinware. And then
