TUCSON, Dec. 22-The Southern
 '.Ciic has just published the finding of
 $ board of inquiry which investigated
 nc death of Miss Frances McEneny struck and instantly killed by a pass crger train on December IA. 1914 at Scnoita, Aazoaa.
 The undersigned. constituting 8oard of Inquiry at Sonoita. Arizona. December 10th, 1914, for the purpose
 : deter mining cause of and responsibil-
 ty for above accident.
 This board finds that the deceased YVES killed by the locomotive and one cat of train No I3 passing over her Jody: il having struck her while she was attempting to cross cattle guard No. lOSl-A so close ahead of this train that it was impossible for a step to be made to have avoided the accident We also find that the engineer had lown the whistle for the crossing and that the bell was ringing on approaching the crossing as prescribed by rules: that the train was running at a speed not to exceed 9 miles per hour; that all braking apparatus was in first class condition and when il became evident to the engineer that the train was go- ing to strike the lady he applied the air and the eme rgency.
 It is the opinion of this board that neither the Southern Pacific company TOT any of it's employees were in any manner whatever responsible for the death of Miss McEneny. and that the accident was caused solely by the ac- tions of this lady, in failing to heed warnings of the approach of the train.

making good this week with its advertised
statements. The closing number, Change

whole show in itself. bubbling over with
laughter throughout the thirty minutes of
presentation. Mr.. Moore is as clever and
as funny as ever. He is unusually well
assisted by Miss Littlefield and a corps of
stage hands. The piece has not been seen
for number of years. but the large au-
dience present laughed and applauded as
though it we're seeing something entirely
new.
But there are other numbers on the pro-
gram that rank very high and almost
