County School Sup't
 On Free Text Books

The PRosPEcToR is in receipt Of the following from County School sups.- intenden D. B. Hutchins in regard to the use of the free text books ip the various school. of Cochise, which are to be fuso ished hy the state. Super intendept Hutcbins outlines the fol- lowing set ci rules. and should be heed by psrents .. well ss the pupils:- In view of the fact that the eIperi- ment of Free Text Books for the child- rem of the public schools of the state will be undertaken next school year and that responsible economy during the first year should be observed ir the use and care of these books, the patrons of the schools are requested to instil upon the minds of their child ren the iies of taking care o. their books.
 These books are the property of the state and are loaned to the different Boards Of trustees for the use of the pupils of their respective districts; the Trustees will accrdingly hold the pupils accountable for any damages
 Itis suggested that all pupils use the same books they used the lac, term, insofar as these books may be adopted to the grades to which the pupils gre promoted.
 For instance; . boy promoted from tie 3rd to the 4tb grade will use the came arithmetic in the 4th grade that he used ir the 3rd grade, and 50 on in many subjects; provided, of course that the book is 60 damaged ss to render it unfit Tor use then be will he entitled to . new book.
 Any pupil destroying book, or damaging it so that it will be not fit for use to the end of ths term. rend- ering . new book necessary. must furnish the new bo0k ct bis own ex- pence.
 Although these books are free to the pupil, they must be paid for in the way of taxes by the peop'e of the state hence reasonable economy, in this ss we'll as in other matters io which the general public is interested should be practiced.
 Aside from the ides of saving money to the s'ate, the principal of taking proper care of other peoples property should be impressed upon the minds of the pupiIs. The lesson of reason. able economy isn not bad one to learn by the old as we'll e by the young.

by Frightened Team.
Minot. y. D., Dec. e6.-A serious &C.
cident, narrowly averted from being
a fatal me-. occurred about $50 on
Main street near the 500 crossing
when a switch engine grazed the draw
driven by c. A. Dule, and frightened
the horses. who ran away, throwing
Mr.. Dule to the ground and badly
w~renching his back and bruising the
backbone severely. Mr.. Dules was car
ried to his home and is now under
n doctors care. He will sprobably
be In bed for some time as a result
OF accident. but AZ no bones were
broken and he owns q fine constitu-
ton, it is believed that he will ecover
rapidly.
1t seems that as Mr.. Dule was driv-
ing up to make the crossing a switch
engine was standing 4 short distance
away, and that when the switchman
waved to Dule to cross the track the
engineer thought it was the signal for
