Villa Defeated.


DOUGLAS, Ariz., Nov. 2-Defeat-
ed, the Villista army retired to the
eastward from Aqua Prieta today,
leaving 400 dead and wounded on the
battle field.
The Vil'ista forces seemed to be
disintegrating. Many were thought
to be DESERVING to go in search of
food and water.
Villas retirement was greeted by a
roar of cheers from the victorious
CarranZa garrison.
Hepeated assaults had failed. Cen
eral Gales entanglements proved i'm
penetrable. After last desperate at
tack this morning, the hungry and
thirsty Villista troops fled.
Just too late, a large force Of Yaqui
Indians, estimated at 1000 men, join
ed the Villista army. General Gales
sent fresh troops to his trenches to
meet the Yaquis if they attempted to
renew the assault, but their arrival
did not stem the Villista retirement.
Wounded Villa soldiers captured
and taken to the Carranzista hospital
in Aqua Prieta, stated that they had
been without food two days. Villa
was said to have told them they
could easily capture Aqua Prieta.
All General Gales cannon were in
tact today. Many Aqua Prieta build
ings, however, were badly damaged.

Watch Yourself Go By

Just stand aside and watch yourself 60 by;
Think of yourself as ''he' instead of ''I'
Note closely, as in other men you note,
The bag -kneed trousers and the seedy coat
Pick flaws; find fault; forget the men is you,
And strive to make your estimate ring true
Confront yourself and look you in the eye,
Just stand aside and watch yourself go by.
Interpret all your motives just as though
You looked on one whose aims you did not know
Let undisguised contempt surge thru you when
You see you shirk, 0 commonest of men,
Despise your cowardice; condemn whate'er
You note of falseness in you everywhere,
Defend not one defect that shames your eye,
JUST stand aside and watch yourself 90 by.
And then, with eyes unveiled to what you loathe-
To sins that with sweet charity you'd clothe-
Back to your self-waed tenement you'll 90
With tolerance for all who dwell below
The faults of others then will dwarf and shrink.
Loves chains grow stronger by one mighty link
When you with ''he' as substitute for Il"

Since time immemorial society has more or less
been interested in every movement has been for
the betterment of some condition, and condition
relative to the prisoner and prisons in general.
Inmates of penal institutions are to a certain
extent interested in such movements that are for
their betterment, and especially is this true of
their interest in the prison reform movement, and
some of us wonder how we can help the cause
along.
The editor of the Star of Hope in giving
treatise ON this subject says il part:
There is not within prison walls who
cannot help along the cause of prison reform.
Howe you ask. We can think of it and for l..
We can on occasions work for it. But above all
we can live for it-live for it by being SQUARE
while in prison and preparing ourselves to be
SQUARE when we get out But SQUARE is
more than being honest. 1t includes honesty, but
it also includes much more. Squareness is hard to
define, but it is something we all recognize and
admire when we see it. The ONLY man who can
really help prison reform is the SQUARE man,
and the greatest contribution any prison can make
to it is to be SQUARE. When days of storm and
stress come and the continuance of the new free
dom is threatened as it will be- when there is dan
ger of return to the old condition, as may hap
pen, it will be CHARACTERIZE average char

The editor of the Peniteutiary Bulletin finds it
rather annoying to have someone talk to him while
cleaning the exchanges for ideas upon which to
write. We cannot help but appreciate the truth
set forth by our contemporary in the following:
Every craft has it's crosses. One of the sore af-
fctions of the newspaper business is found in the
fact that people generally think it's work to get
out paper. One of the hardest jobs every editor
does, though generally pleasant, is to read his
exchanges. But it is hard work and must be
done. For the editor who gets a day two
back in his exchanges never catches up. And
one thing that makes him mad. tho he will look
up and greet the stranger with smile who does
it, is fer man to come in saying: well, [
you were sitting there doing nothing but reading,
so thot would just pass the time of day with
YOU"
Remember this you who would have business
with the editor: It's all right to come in
when he's reading or writing editing copy but
don't get it into your head that when he's reading
his exchanges you have in the idle hour.
How can an editor get any ideas if he doesn't read
Others ideas9 Do you think he sits down and
thinks 'em out of his head? Well, he doesn't He
reads score of papers every morning, and from
two he gets suggestion two Some
times he finds an item that makes him mad; then
he writes we'll. Sometimes vagrant item, pay
local, teegraphic head, advertisement starts
a rich train of suggestion But the sure way to
wreck the train and make your paper stupid and
insane is to come busting in when he is reading
his exchanges. He is doing the best work of the
day."

One of the most interesting as we'll as instruc-
tive articles we have printed for some time APP
pears in this issue. The author of this article is
educated in the full sense of the word, a
thoughtful and careful perusal of this article will
show. For this writer to write frivolous fiction
would be an unsuccessful attempt; but to write on
the scientific basis is an easy task for him. While
we have heretofore printed articles that were indeed
very, interesting, we do not believe that we have
had an article the subject of which was as fully
covered as it is in this article. 1t does not
quire much concentration of thought to produce
''mush" and ''softsoap," but it requires brains"
to produce an article as that written by L. S." of
our own little sanctum. The fair-minded person
can easily see that the writer has few equals and
no superiors

Last Saturdays Game

games during the summer will be
reported by T. w. L. Last sea-
sons games were very ably handled
by H. S. Med; and if the new
man does half as we'll as the for
mer reporter, there should not be
any chance for criticism from any
one. The new man has had con-
siderable experience in the line of
'baseballitis" and is qualified to
make A No. 1 showing.-Editor.)
The fans are now satisfied!
Why? Because they have seen
the Green Sox'' in action, and
are assured that they may rightly
expect to see some interesting
games this summer on the local
diamond.
Last Saturdays game was be-
tween the Green Sox and the
Irvine Twisters, the former bag
ging the honors by a 7 to 3 tally.
While the game was by no
means fast, it was, however, close
ly contested, and up to the eighth
inning was an even break. But
from the eighth until the game
was called the sox had it all their
way.
The game was called promptly
at $3.50, and the Sox went to the
bat, pulling down two runs while
the Twisters failed to connect with
the Counts delivery in their
period.
In the second inning both teams
were shut out in the one-two-three
order, the same applied to the Sox
in the next five times up, while
the Twisters romped home with
one in the third, and then added
two more to their credit in the
sixth, making score of 3 to 2 in
the Twisters' favor. But they
failed to connect again during the
game; while the Sox in the eighth
seemingly finding their stride,
tackled an additional four to their
credit, and added one more in the
ninth prior to the umpire's signal
denoting the close of the game.
The Sox we're in very fair shape
considering their handicap in the
way of practice. Count Gren Ella
did some pretty work in the box,
but the strain was almost too much
for him, and in the fourth the
manager relieved him for three in
nings, but he finished strong in the
final lap.
The fielders we're right on the
job and put across some nifty
plays. The only double play hap
pened in the sixth. The Twisters
had Tailed pair, had one down
aud two on bases, the batter sent
out nice fly that was gathered in
by Sunny JIM at second, who
whipped it to Lovely" at first,
who caught the runner mapping.
Many of the players on the two
teams were new to the local fans,
but among them were two or three
who have the goods" and they
certainly demonstrated this to the
entire satisfaction of all that they
can play the game; and we will I'M
doubtedly see them in the lineup
when the besiegers arrive.
The new Green Sox twirler,
with little practice, will prove
valuable man to fill the departed
Us shoes in a very efficient man
ner.
A., the left fielder, and c., Sec
ond baseman, are two more new
arrivals who will bear watching,
not alone for their work in the
field, but at the bat; as they seem
to have the knack of connecting
with the sphere on frequent oc-
casiOns.

The old prison Will be sold some time in the
near future, as the bill providing for the sale
thereof was passed week ago.
Something interesting in regard to it's early his
tory found in the Saltwater Gazette, which
we herewith reprint:
The Old Prison was located in Saltwater Nov.
l. 1849, by the legislature. In 1851 lot of 400
feet square was enclosed by IA foot wall, feet
thick at the bottom and p at the top In this was
prison house, building 30 by 40 feet, three
stories high back of which was wing 2Ox6O feet,
containing six cells and other for the closer
confinement of prisoners. In 1853 an addition of
six cells added as we'll as dungeon. The en-
tire cost of the building and grounds was IS, O0O
paid for by the y. S. government. The machin-
cry, costing $4,000, the property of the ward
en-, consisting of sash, door and single machin-
cry.
In 1853 by an act of the legislature. the control
of the prison placed in the hands of the board
of inspectors and the first warden, F. R. Deano,
at that time resident of Saltwater, who entered
upon the discharge of his duties in March, 1853
Later he removed to St. Paul and became promin-
ent in the railroad business.
The first year there were no convicts. The Sc
cond year there we're two and seven or eight per-
sons from counties that had no suitable quarters
for their confinement; in 1856, one; in 1857,
none.
There rule in vogue in these years that
the board of prisoners sent from counties for
minor ofenses, was to be So per week, five weeks
to be paid in advance, and unless this regulation
was observed the prisoner would be released by
the warden.
The wardens have been as follows; F. R. De-
lano, March 1853; F. 0. j. Smith, March, 1858.
These territorial appointments. Since Min
nesota became state: HIM. Setztr, August, 1858;

ditions that will save the situation and insure
continuance of the forward advance"

Last Saturday afternoon was one joyful day
for the inmates here At three-thirty O'Clock all
workshops and factories closed in order that the
boys could enjoy the holiday accorded them and
which, from now on, will be given them every
Saturday up until the snow begins to fly.
A week ago, Saturday, it was thought that the
boys would get in the yard, but as the frost was
not all out of the ground it was thot to wait one
week later would be best for the health of the pop
ulatiOn.
A real Indian Summer day dawned last Sat-
urday and every one knew for certainty that they
would see the opening of baseball between the two
institution teams, and all were happy
The management of the institution had clandes-
timely told us that as the weather permitted
the 'boys" would have the privilege of the Satur-
day relaxation from work, as established by ex-
Warden Wolfer last year.
We are sure there is not one inmate in the in
stitution who did not appreciate the privilege last
Saturday for the half holiday, and sincere as
we'll as unanimous vote of thanks is extended to
the management of the institution for the early
privilege of playing ball in the silent city.
We do not know of any more satisfactory way
of showing your continual appreciation than by
good conduct.
We would like to see every inmate out in the
yard every Saturday; we would like to see the
usual court list reduced to naught, and sure
that the management views this tine we do.
