 'Padilla, the slayer of Mercer is still at large and thus far lit tie progress has been made to- wards his capture. Rewards aggregating $500 have been of fered for his capture, $25O by the county and $25O by the Elm pire Land and Cattle company. It is believed that he has fled into Mexico"

 You busy merchants, come out of your shell and attend this meeting. The policy of the en tertainment committee is to have short snappy to o-the point talks on subjects of general in terest to Nogales, a whole lot of socia bility and, of course, some thing to eat and drink.
 help the community in which he lives is a man of extremely ordinary ability. It's to be wondered that he takes the time to make a living.
 The citizen to whom com munity affairs are not of grave concern is himself of grave con cern to the community,
 The Civic Improvement Com nittee of the Chamber of Com merce fired it's opening gun in a campaign for the better sanitary conditions in Nogales at the last meeting of the Town Council. We are first going to have a cleanup day and then see that the town is kept clean,
 Our neighbors across the bor- der have a regulation that side walks, and even the street in front of the premises must be swept before six o'clock in the morning and they see that io is enforced too. We don't need tc be as drastic as that, but some thing should be done to see that our sidewalks are swept, that garbage is properly cared for and regularly removed by the street cleaning department, and it's the intention of the commit tee to work for the closed gar bage can.
 A clean town is a big asset.
 Just because the undertaken $ business is the least remuner- ative business in town is nc reason why we should not have clean city.

THE BUTTERFLY ON THE wHEEL"
Web Presented bT Good Company
A Strong Play.

Few stock, or repertoire companies
are COMPOSED of such an all-sround
good membership of players as the
Helen Grayce Company, doing a
weeks engagement at the Colonial

all well taken. As the deceived hus-
bsnl, MIR. Earle Richie wac most

has proved himself not only versa
tile actor during the weeks engage
ment in repertoire here, but be is the
right bower" to the excellent COM
pany. His makeup is always good,
his personality pleasing and hiSaction
easy, natural and above criticism.
As usual, Mr.. Lawrence Brooke
gave a splendid impersonation of his
role, and as Sir Robert, in the Court
scene, be was magnificent, making a
talky" part of long drawn-out
dialogue, entertaining and strikingly
dramatic. Mr.. Barker was we II cast
as COllingwood, and has gained favor
throughout the weeks engagement.
He has coed voice, aud studies the
little details Of his part. He is al.
together a clever actor.
Miss Antoinette Rochet, as Lady
Attwill, did good work. She is keen,
clever and always at ease, besides
SIZE possesses handsome stage pres
ence and dresses we'll. Miss Grayce,
as Peggy, won favor. From the flip
pant butterfly who loves admiration,
she developed into the strong woman
when before the Court on trial for her
honor, although innocent of wrong.
Miss Grayce Is a splendid little act
ress, attractive and capable. She
wears handsome gowns. and wears
them gracefully.
The stage settings are very good,
and the plays presented this week
have won popular flvor by Colonial
