 c. H. Studley, Jr., Pop, Beattie. Walter Gibson and "The Bus Driver'' were up the San Pedro river Thurs day morning buying horses. MT. Studley wanted a saddle animal and took the other gentlemen along az experts to assist him in the deal which was most successful On the way back the horse which Pop" was rldlng stumbled and fell as he was tordlng the San Pedro, greatly en- dangering for a time the life of the rider.
 Just about noon Thursday there was shooting affray in San Pedro ] in which Tranquilio and Marcelino Perez, brothers attempted to take the life of MaclOvio Villalobos for req sons not yet learned. Although about dozen shots were fired only one took effect, that entering the leg above the knee breaking the bone VlllalobOS claims to be entirely ignOr- ant of the cause of the assault as he 1 was sitting in his tent at the time The two Perez brothers are still at large. The shooting happened just about noon and before officers could reach the scene the Perez brothers had taken to the hills. A spectacular
 man hunt followed which was par tlcipated in by Officers Nash, Gibson, Farmer and Carter The fugitives were tracked to a spring a few miles out and the trail indicated that they left the spring once and returned a i'little later to leave second time. A l'heavy rain soon came up and obliter- ated the trail so the hunt was given up for a while as it was thought that | they would return to town under 'cOVer of darkness Officers Carter
 and Farley stationed themselves to
 watch the tent where the fugitives lived so that they would be taken if
 they returned to it in the night but 1 in some manner they did manage to return and pack up all their personal
 effects and get away right under the
 noses of the officers and now the
 common people would like to know just how it happened At present | the search is still being carried on
 and it is thought that the would be
 assaSsins will be taken before a gre,1- while.
 The dance given by Mrs. James
 Heggie and Mrs. Geo. C. Johnson at
 the A s. & R. club house Wednes-
 day evening was an exceedingly pret- l ty affair. The large reading and ! dining rooms were beautifully de-
 cOrated with Indian baskets, blankets,
 pennants, and wild flowers. Several
 large electric fans added materially
 to the comfort of the dancers and
 were greatly appreciated by all. 1 The spacious porches were daintily Iarranged as cozy corners where a
 number of the guests enjoyed play l ing cards and at one end a punch | bowl with it's refreshing beverage
 was an important feature of the eve
 ming pleasures.

 several instrumental selections on the
 new stock piano which were thor oughly enjoyed by all present
 The refreshments were indeed a
 treat and were most delightfully."- Iserved on the east porch under the
