Sunday afternoon last, Tuesday
Mart Willis was found at Bear
Springs, in the WBetstones, with a
bullet wound in his leg. He was
shot from ambush by an unknown
person. The shooting took place
on the Pima county side Of the
mountains, but the sheriffs and their
deputies from this and Pima ooun-
ties have been unable to apprehend
the would~be assassin.
The shooting is probably the re-
suit of a feud between dry farmers
and cattlemen.

How Spaniards Cook Chicken.

1t will be noticed that in Spanish
cookery white onions. tomatoes and
olive oil play a prominent part. Little
butter is used for frying. If good olive
oil is not obtainable they prefer a
vegetable fat.
The way of stewing a chicken is
delicious and makes a pleasant varia-
ton from any American style.
Put one large cooking spoonful of
olive oil in a frying pan; cook in 1t
until tender one large peeled and
sliced onion and one tomato Cor half
a cupful of canned ones), and half a
banana. Pour this boiling hot over the
chicken in a stew pan. To a four pound
bird add one and a quarter quarts of
boiling water, one tablespoonful of
boiling water, one tablespoonful of
salt and an eighth of a salt spoonful
of white pepper. When the meat is
done stir in the thickening, cook and
stir for two minutes and drop in one
tablespoonful of minced parsley. You
may require a little more salt ana
pepper; that is left to individual taste.
Serve in a deep dish with the sauce
poured around it.
Sometimes half a cupful OF rice Is
used (uncooked of course). then. boiled
In It for the last twenty-five minutes
In this case omit the thickening.

In the revolution of 1sis, when a large
part of Europe was in political upheaval,
Gertrude's father fled to this country
and. settled in Brooklyn. n. Y. where be-
fore long he was known for his brilliant
personality in prominent literary circles.
He wa1a leader in Democratic circles,
as we Is among writer's. and counted
among Ms close friends such men as Bay

Gertrude was acquainted from her child
hood with these men and received the in

Of the time, who assumed that the public
would be prejudiced against them II their

name Of Stuart Sterne" was known
throughout the United States. the works
under which 1t appeared being for the
most part essays, although there were
them.
Aside from her literary ability Ger

as a linguist and a musician. Although
taking lively interest in all the events
of her time. she was not a club woman.

The Value of Steamed Food.

We are continually reading warnings
about wasting the mineral salts OF
vegetables by our usual careless meth
DDS of boiling; we set. the helpless
vegetable adrift in a sea of boiling
water. and then, when all the valua BILE
elements (such as phosphorus. cal
cium and iron) are boiled out, and the
flavor of the food thereby reduced.
the vegetable is rescued-a mere hok
low shell of it's former self. with all
its life-blood extracted-and served to
US. while the rich salts and fiavors
find an untimely end by being poured
down the kitchen sink.
In steaming all this is avoided Ply

While the central motif of the Keith
bill this week is one of frivol and
frolic. dominated by four excellent mu-
sical acts, there still remains a serious
| chord in the summer medley in tbe
form of one-act play by Edwards
Davis. the former divine. presenting
bitter arraignment of the criminalitv
OF war. and making strong appeal to
the American people for united effort
in behalf Of peace.
The little playlet is called The
Peace Cry" and the Keith program
Will tell you that it is a condensation
Of the third act of Mr.. Davis drama
The Blessed and the Damned" The
one scene is laid in the study of the
young minister where his parishioners
seek to oust him from his charge on
the grounds of an indiscretion, using
this to veil their deeper resentment
against the preacher on account of his
use of the pulpit to touch the public
conscience concerning the duty of
Christianity to stop the awful blood
shed that is at present disgracing
Europe.
The priest uncovers their motives
OF self interest, and declares his in
tention to continue obedience to his
conscience in a scene of cumulative
dramatic interest. Mr.. Davis earnestly
portrays the minister. and hurls in
spirited invective against mans mur-
der of his brother in the name of
war. while he is capably supported by
julie Power and a company of nine
other players.
In lighter vein Al and Fannie Sted-
man hold the center of interest in
their 'Pianocapers." which is but a
bit of hilarious nonsense in which Miss
Stedman's clever limitations and unique
comedy find happy support in the
equally effervescent funmaking her part
ner.
Lillian Herlein presents a group of
songs covering range sufficiently broad
to demonstrate her versatility and dis
play of innumerable sartorial effects
which greatly enhance the charm Of her
act Mae Bronte and Ernest Aldwell
offer another effective singing act in
their "On the Boardwalk stunt. and
THE Seven Colonial Bellies furnish the
fourth melodious inclusion in an offer
ing that Is dainty. musical and quaint.
Staged by Dorothy Sherman, the Colo
nial atmosphere is held throughout a
succession Of musicianly offerings. Of
which the solo selections of Genevieve
Davis are an exquisite feature.
In the line OF monologue Robert EN-
NETT Keane is no less welcome that We
have seen him twice before during the
season just passed. for he is unfailingly
original and clever. Gladys Alexander
and Vivian Murray furnish a comedy
sketch of stage life entitled Broadway
Love- and the four Royal Poodles of
Mons. and Mme Al. W. Loyal open the
bill with as clever and intelligent an
animal act as one could well find.
