DANCE HALLS ARE
 PLACED UNDER BAN

ASH FORK, Feb. 24.-Sherief Keeler, who was summoned to Asn Fork on Thursday in connection with the killing of John Rose, among oth- CT things after making an investiga- tion of that crime, ordered all dance halls to be closed up forthwith.
 The Rambaud and Terry saloons are affected by the order, and the owners compiled with the official notification immediately. This move ment was urged by all the law-abid- ing residents of that town, and hence forth it is the purpose to maintain the condition now in force and to bring offenders to a strict and se- were accounting for any violation of the law. There is very much agita- tion going on in that town over the recurrence of high handed crimes and the dance hall is receiving con- demnation as a fruitful center tO perpetuate lawlessness.

SENTENCE AGAINST AN
 OLD MAN SUSPENDED.
John Steffns Entered Guilty Plea;
 Shot at Cat and Hit Man.

TUCSON-Sobered to the extent oi speechness John Steffins, the aged ex- soldier and veteran of the Apache wars, stood before Judge Cooper, of the superior court, last week, while County Attorney Hilzinger recommend ed that sentence against the old man, following plea of guilty to the charge of assault with deadly weapon, be suspended.
 Steffins, who is said to have been crazy drunk when he shot Mateo Campa, mistaking him for a cat, seems to feel keenly the consequence of his act and said yesterday before going before the judge that he guessed he would not sell his old shotgun but would leave the country.
 Standing on the court house steps, he said: T well remember when there was a corral where this court house stands and it is a sorry day when I am brought here as a pris- oner."
 The Judge accepted the recommen- dation of the county attorney and sus- pended sentence against the old h. dian fighter He was advised to move from South Meyers street and find more peaceable location.

 C.. L. Forber, a salesman for the
 Hill company was called and said that he did business with Warden Sims at the pen, and tha tthe Warden had told him that all bills must be under $250 or they could not be paid promptly be- cause of the provisions of the statute. He did his business solely with the warden selling him wholesale lots and the warden was a very shrewd buyer. He said he had been told by mer- chants of Florence that he could not sell them as he sold the prison.
 Charles H. Pauley, also a salesman prices were generally 9 per cent high CT than those of Phoenix.
 Secretary Osborn of the board of control was called and identified two warrants which had been paid to the Old Dominion Commercial company. One of these was in connection with the work done by the prisoners on the Globe highway, in which the agree ment was that the county of Gila should pay the difference between the cost of the work and supplies at the prison and the cost of the highway At the request of MT.

HOW eUsTAvo mADERo DIED.

Following his arrest Madero was
 taken under strong guard to the na
 tional palace, where his brother, Fran
 cisco, and many of the members of his l cobinet were then prisoners. Fran cisco, overcome apparently by the magnitude of his misfortune, had been at first hysterical and then despond- ent. Gustavo, of a sterner mold than his brother was composed and tran quill
 Gustavo was compliancy itself in the presence of officials he knew he could not corrupt, but their backs were no more than turned before on the ears Of his sentries fell 'Gustavos whispered offers of money, of prefenment in po- litical life-any promises which his shrewdness told him might appeal to those he would bribe. Time and again the captive politician justified his rep utation as the shrewdest man in Mex ico. But each time his success as Q corruptor of his guards was discov- cred before he could profit by his skill, and at last, at II o'clock Tues day night, Gen. Huerta, at his wits end for guards whom Madero might not influence, dispatched him to the arsenal, where Diaz and his men might be counted on to hold him.
 Nerve Gives Way.
 Gustavo, aroused at 1:3O o'clock in the morning and ordered to make ready for a journey back to the palace read in the order his death warrant. Madero's nerve failed him at last.
 He fell on his knees before his guards, the crafty, satisfied smile wiped>from his lips. and in his eyes the fever glint of mental panic. He groveled before the men he thought meant to kill him, begging that his life be spared and repeating as though the phrase were some watchword which should win him clemency in stead of severity, T had nothing to do with this 1 am a civilian ,
 His guards protested that he was but to go to the palace, that their orders contained no other directions, but Madero, terrified now, would not believe They were in the street, started palaceward, when he ran.
 RodoIfo Reyes Killed Him.
 Rodolfo Reyes, who had seen his father killed on the first days of fight ing, raised his revolver and fired. Ma dero staggered in his stride, halted and pitched forward on his face. As he fell score of weapons were dis charged at him and in his dead body were found 12 wounds.
 It needed Maderos death to show i how well he was hated. In life he exercised power, or at least was sup | posed to do so, which prevented all | but the most hardy of nerve from ut tering disrespect of him above a whis- per. The crowd fell on his body. His was torn Into small pieces for relics. There was a scramble for the broken bits of glass which had his spectacles, smashed by the fall to the pavement. A man, un fortunate in finding a piece for him. self, gave $25 for fragment of the lespised mans glasses. Even the stones of the pavement over which his blood had flowed were dug up and carried away for the sake of this red News.

.SCHAEFFER PLAYS JUDGE IN BITTER
 ATTACK
MAN SENTENCED TO DIE MAY g DENoUNcES PROCEDURE
 OF HIS TRIAL.
CASE WAS FRAME UP CHARGE.
Infuriated Prisone rCreates Sensation
 in Superior Court Room.

GLOBE, Feb. 26.-'If there is a just God in Heaven then you and your kind are in hell of fix; if there isn't, then I'm in hell of a fix That is what Charles Schaffer had to say when given an opportunity to talk in the superior court yesterday morning when he appeared for seq tence for the murder of Edward Giles on September 21, 1911 The jury re- turned a verdict on December IA of the same year but sentence was de- layed. The. court ordered that the prisoner be executed May g.
 Schaffer's remarks created sen sation yesterday. The court made no remark and did not interrupt the in. furiated prisoner@until after sentence had been pronounced andd he became disorderly. The sheriffs in charge were then ordered to take him to the cell.
 Had Speech Ready.
 The man convicted of murder in the first degree had something to say
 
 hesitate to make. it emphatic When Judge Laine went through the usual of asking the prisoner if there was any legal reason why he should not be sentenced he said:
 T did not have fair and impartial trial. There are five others at the state prison whose cases are exactly he same as mine, they had no money md could not defend themselves. We were all railroaded to prison I was {. convicted by newspaper notoriety and public sentiment and I was convicted before came in the court room. It vas all framed up before I got there, am a man of few words You can ool the people but you can't fool sod. If there is just God in Heaven hen you and your kind are in a hell If fix; if there isn't then I am in a tell of a fix.
 Attacks Judge Laine.
 When Judge Laine passed sentence, 5chaeffer broke out again and said, You sit up there and calmly say
 
 inow anything about the case"
 The murder of Edward Giles has al- ways been looked upon by those who ollowed the case as one of the coldest ,looded that was ever committed n this neighborhood. Charles Schae- CT was discharged by Giles, who was section foreman at Winkelman and according to the evidence, he started ut to get even. He purchased a re- olver and made his way toward files home. The foreman was warn d by railroad men who heard 'chaeffer's threats and who attempt d to reason with the enraged man ut did not get away. The former mploye advanced to within a few aces of Giles and fired. The bullet ntered Giles head between the eyes nd he died immediately. On his way 0 jail, Schaeffer is credited with aving said that he missed his aim, e tried to hi his man in the eye. Schaeffer's one chance now to es- ape the death penalty is to appeal to overnor Hunt for a pardon.

Found Bullet in Old Tree

Incidents of the Chattanooga reunion are coming to light from time to time. One of the most interesting of the stories told is that related by w. M. Holland, who resides near Little Rock.
 MT. Holland attended the re- union, and through the identifi- cation bureau. located Ali Hays, of Paragould, his messmate in an Alabama regiment, whom he had not seen since the war. In reviewing their war reminis- cences, they recalled a n exciting experience on the battlefield and started out to find the scene. Without difficulty they located the spot where they had stood beside pine tree exchanging leaden reminders with the Union soldiers. They recalled that they had stood beneath that tree, one on either side, and that a Yankee bullet struck the tree between them. One remarked that the fire was get ting too hot for them, and that they had better seek safer quart CTS. Just at that moment anoth- CT bullet splintered the tree within a few inches of Hays arm, and the two comrades hast fly departed.
 The war closed, the comrades separated, 50 years passed. and returning to the tree. they found the flattened bullet in the trunk of the old pine and brought il away as memento. It is now in the possession of Henry Hol- land, postmaster at Alexander, son of w. M. Holland. -Arkan. sas Democrat.

lust About Town

Well, Pm picking Brinkley as | winner" said a Little Rock man in town this week. If there was real organized effort on the part of your business men, such as you see at Mari anna, Hope. Jonesboro, Stutt- gart, and many other towns. you would see Brinkley jump by bounds and leaps. In these cities business men are put in the saddle aud are given the reins', and the property owners are seeing, in these towns, the indi- vidual profit that comes from putting men in the saddle who can bring things to pass, who can, and do get results. l know of one property owner in one of these towns, who fought every movement to advance the town. He was purely a 'non-progress- i've and was dead against every thing that was done to build up the city by the progressives. When the town started to throw off it's non-progressive, back country ways. the value of this mans particular property, was about $9. 900, and in less than five years after the street paving, sewerage, and other progressive moves were put over,' this par ticular property was increased until he was offered $50, 900 for it. This is an absolutly accurate account of particular instance, and, if the progressive old foggy property owners of Brink ley could but only realize how they actually lose money by fighting improvements, they'd quit kicking and all join hands tc boost your town. Its coming soon and when it does you'll sec Brinkley property double in values. z

 greatest crop prospects ever known. i"
 Much of the corn land will make 50 to SO bnshels per acre, and much of the cotton land is sure for a bale to the acre. MT. Jelks has about $50 acres of this kind of crops, and in addition, is putting in alfalfa and lespedeza crops.

 MT. Smale has been taking his regular summeK vacation. The change has gone into effect now, and Conductor Smale has gone to Memphis. where he will take
