When the Columbia theater opened month ago, eve, yone was impressed with it's beauty, delighted with it's cooling apparatus and amazed at the excellence of the vaudeville provided The! conceded that it's beauty would remain. hoped that it's cooling appar- atus would prove effective in the hot weather and were convinced that the wonderful opening bill was only flash in the pan and that time would quickly show a marked change in that department at least.
 Well a month has gone by and at last the hot weather is with us, coming after the wonderfully cool and invieorating May it is all the more pronounced, but whoever it was that invented the cooling system of the Columbia need not lay awake nights wondering what is going to happen. he did his work not only wisely; but well. Those who laughed at the theater's slogan No matter what the weather may he the tenn perature here is 73 degrees have found that it was founded on fact. That dsposes of fear number one.
 Of the four bills that have been presented at this theater since its opening the first bill was the least attractive. each succeeding week has shown something rover and better than the one preceding it until
 the excellence of the offerings has become d settled fact. The men be- hind the guns have delivered the
 npI, ftIrriS hpI a. high class auditorium, decked 1t Tn attractive form and furnished it in luxurious manner; they have follow ed this up with d policy that calls forth unstinted praise. We do not hesitate to say that there is not theater in the southwest which gives more for it's money than the Colum- bia, and many houses charging far more fall away below it's standard ot entertainment,
 The Columbia is not flash in the pan. it is the pride of Phoenix.

 particularly novel about that for every act that the Columbia has offered so far has been hit, if he wants to be a real novelty he must prove failure.
 The big orchestra and the splendid moving pictures will remain as feat ures and don't forget that it is cool &t the Columbia.
 RIERSIDE PARK grows more popu- lar every day. The whole public has taken it close to it's heart and made it their own especial playground. There was not one day in the past week that did not find at least couple of picnic parties there and some of the parties ran up into the hundreds.
 The swimming pool and the dance pavilion are tremendous attractions and for the third time since the open ing of the park. the seating capacity in the open air theater has had to be in creased There are now over fifteen hundred comfortable seats in which one may view the splendid movie pro- grams that are offered there and even yet they are not sufficient to care for the crowds that patronize the pictures. The bill changes four times each week. Sundays. Tuesday. Thursday and Sat urday and there are four reels in each program, last week they had q six reel program for four nights Saturday night is comedy night and a two reel comedy feature will be shown regularly each Saturday. No picture theater in the valley is showing better pictures than you will find at Riverside.
 The big musical feature today will be Aldens Concert band. This will be the first public appearance of the new organization in Phoenix. MT.

GEN. VILLA WITHIN 20 MILES
OF THE MEXICAN CAPITAL.

Mexico City. Nov. 25.-It is report
ed here that ben, Villas advance
guard has reached Tecloyucan, 20
mile away.
Gen. Alvero Obregon is still in the
city. and his difficulties with Gen. Lu-
clio Blanco have been adjusted. The
two Generals conferred today.
In a statement today Gen. Obregon
said that Villa had arrested Julio Ma

Madcro. He declared that he and
Gen. Pablo Gonzales had sufficient
troops to defeat Gen. Villa but that
they had desisted TO ALLOW Villa to en-
ter the city, where the entire Consti-
tutionalist army would bottle him up.
"When Francisco Villa and Emilia
no Zapata are found together in the
national palace" said Gen. Obregon,
"the republic will feel convulsion
of repugnance which will shake it to
its foundation. 1t is then that we will
start our campaign to eliminate them,
and we will be successful"

SUMTER COUNTY
RIOTING In
MEXICO CITY
MObS Loot Principal
Shops and Kill Sew
eral Persons.

Mexico City, Noy. 24.-Serious dis
| order occurred in the capital tonight
when a mob gathered in front of The
National Palace.
Later they marched to stores where
stores and ammunition We're kept
battered down the doors and sackeG
the places of their contents.
There was much shooting but thus
far, according to reports, the casual.
ties are few.
The police were powerlcSS as the
few who remained to guard the citv
were stripped of their arms by the
mob.
Later in the evening the mob which
had been constantly growing, broke
up into smaller bodies and the looting
of rawn shops and other establish
mentS in various sections of the cit,
was begun.
The trouble began at o'clock in
the evening and at a late hour still
continued. All street car traffic was
stopped except the Red Cross service
which was taking care of dead and
wounded brought in from the fighting
around Tacubaya.
At 8 o'clock bodies of civilians and
former federal soldiers were formed
and marched to police Headquarters
and the Brazilian legation where they
were armed.
1t is hoped that this force eventual
ly would be able to control the situa-
tion.
The report of unreStrained riotin0
in the Mexican capital indicate that
all of the organized Constitutional
forces have left the city either to
meet the forces of Gen. Villa coming
from the north or those of Gen. Zapa-
ta, which have been threatening the
capital from the south.
The mention of fighting at Tacuba-
va which is only five miles southwest
of Mexico City would make it appenr
that the Zapata forces are virtually
at the doors of the capital.
Gen. Blanco and a force of several
thousand men composed the last or.
ganized force that late reports SAID
remained in Mexico City, all other
armed forces having left last week.
With them went all the national FED
eral district and city officials. 1t
seems likely, Judging from the report
of the rioting, that Gen. Blanco left
with his troops to take part in the
| fighting either to the north or to the
south.

fcSSed the crime.
wilson, who was a truSty on the
Sumter chalngang, now working near
here, went to Mrs. Truluck's house to
get some milk early this morning.
returning later in the day he attacked
ner with razor, which he had stolen
from guard, cutting her throat. A.s
she endcaVored to rise he kicked her
in the face and she fell again. The
negro then called to her little son.
who had Deen near her at the time of
the attack, to come close and see his
mother The boy approached, but saw
the blood streaming from his mothers
throat and fled, screaming. The negro,
unable to catch him and alarmed bv
the outcry, made off into the woods.
Meantime Mrs. Trulucll gathered
her failing strength and staggered
INTO the public road, where she fell
dead. Her little boys cries brought
nelghborS. Their assistance was too
late 20 help the unfortunate woman,
but they came in time to track the
murderer
Pursurers followed a trail through
the woods to a point where the negro
had changed his clothing. The dis
carded suit, clotted with the blood of
MS victim, was found later.
The boy reported that the murderer
wore convict's clothes and the search
OF course was carried to the chaingang
headquarters. The overseer locked all
the prisoners in the cage for examina-
ton.
The two camp cooks announced that
Wilson had been absent about the
time of the murder. He stoutly denied
the ,crme, but -sstronssA~sv vi<l1nexs rmass
brought against him. A blood stained
Fpiece of underclo lothing, found where
he had changed his SUIT, fitted the
place where piece had been cut from
his underclothes. The negro at first
sought to aScribe the crime to an
other negro, but finally, upon being
identified by the little son of the mLr-
dered woman, he broke down and con-
fessed.
With this confirmation of it's sus-
picions, the crowd changed into a
mob hungry for his death. Despite the
pleadingS of law officers and cooler
citizens, the angered men took the
negro from the chaingang authorities
and bore him to the banks of Lynchc'S
river. There their design was consum-
mated with speed.
The negro was strung up by his
heels from a tree and his swaying
body was riddlcd with bullets. At last
accounts the body was still hanging
there. whore the mob's bullets had
brought him to death.
Wilson, who was about IS years old.
was serving sentence for store

Mrs. Truluck, who was about 81
years of age, was universally respect
