village Of Crosse Pointe Farms In the

BOILING MUSH;
 FINDS UNCLE
Explosion of a Fireless
 Cooker is Unpleasant at Time, But Brings About Reunion With Long-lost Relative of Large Means
Special to The Republican,

Especial to The Republican,
 DOUGLAS, February 2S. - Even such painful experience as being scalded by hot mush and steam from the explosion of a fireless cooker may produce results that are unex- pectedly beneficial. Such has been found to be the case by Mrs J. M Rich, wife of the Methodist minister at McNeal a valley suburb of this city. Thereby she has found a long lost and wealthy uncle and the re- union is soon to be celebrated when the aforesaid uncle of means comes from Los Angeles and pays his niece a visit at her Arizona home
 Several weeks ago the Douglas pa pers carried a story of the injuries received by Mrs. J. NJ. Rich, wife of the Methodist minister at McNeal when the top of a fireless cooker in which she was cooking mush became filled with steam, blowing off the top and scattering hot mush and steam over her body.
 The accident which was not ser ious, was unusual and the story of it Nt.S NOBiCu Hi LiIttuA pdptIS over lUG country One of the Los Angeles papers had the account on the front page where it was seen by an uncle of Mrs. Rich's. whom she had not seen for twenty five years and who had lost track of her Years ago, they both lived back in New Hamp- shire, but when the uncle moved to Los Angeles, where he is now a sue cessful business man, he lost track of his niece, though he heard later that she had married a Methodist minister named Rich. which he con- sidered rather an inappropriate name for d preacher.
 Taking his clue from the name mentioned in the newspaper story, the uncle wrote to Mrs. Rich at Mo Neal to ascertain if she were his niece Of course he received an af- firmative reply, and during the en- suing correspondence the uncle has become so interested in the Sulphur Springs valley and in the unusual manner by which he located his fla Vorite niece after silence of twenty five years, that he is coming to Me Neal soon to pay MT. and Mrs Rich a visit.

GRAND JURY
 JAN NO7 AC1
Pima County Judge Decides That Some Other Body Investigate Charges by Senator Worsley Against the University
Special to The Republican,

Especial to The Republican,
 TUCSON. Feb 2S.-There will be no grand jury investigation of the University of Arizona Judge w r. Cooper of the superior court, to whom application for a special grand jury to investigate the charges. of Senator Worseley. relative to the conduct of the university was made, by General Thomas r. Wilson, has decided that such an inquisitorial body has no power in the premises and has there fore declined to take the action re- quested.
 Judge Cooper gives as his reasons for refusal to have a grand jury in- vestigation of the Worseley charges of extravagance in the conduct of the affairs of the university and states that such charges contain no direct nor insinuated accusation of the com mission of any crime, and the pro- vince of any grand jury is to inVesti- gate allegations of crime. Formerly that body investigated and reported lon county institutions, but that perOgative was taken from it by statute Besides, the university is a state and not a county institution.
 With the refusal of Judge Cooper to place the matter of the conduct of the university before the grand jury, the investigation seems to de- volve back upon the regents as the only duly authorized body. though it is suggested that the Board of Control or the state department of education might investigate.
