M LAUDER, who in early days occup-
led a farm a few miles south of Oro-
Vile, near that split in the face of ma
ture known as Lauber's gulch, hard
nut in the past for the road maker to
crack, was over from Loomis Tues
day, where he has been residing for
the past several years. Mr.. LAUDER
is now talking of investing in an auto
mobile in the spring, and if he does he
expects to drive it to California to
take in the exposition.
The school house shows off to a
great advantage occupying the COM
manding position that it does, but
there are times when it would be more
satisfactory to teacher and pupil If
the building was down on the flat.
One of those times is when winter
breaks up, either during a January
thaw or in the spring. 1t is a muddy,
slippery climb at such times and the
hill difficult to negotiate, working a
great hardship on all who are compell-
ed to make the daily trip.

\ PLETHORA OF ENTERTAINMENT

The members of the high school
athletic association have framed up a
triple attraction to furnish enter
tainment and pleasure for the popula-
ton this evening. The first event on
the list is a debate between orators
from Conconully and Oroville high
schools, which takes place in the audi
torium. The subject to be threshed
out is single tax, measure upon
which men are very much divided.
Following the debate will be a basket
ball game in the gym between Con-
conully and Oroville. This will be
for the championship of the county.
Neither team has been defeated this
season. Both can not win tonight, and
victory will go to the most nimble and
accurate players. 1t will be an ex-
citing contest, and should be the best
ever seen in town. After the game a
dance will be given in the Orpheum
theater. The attraction is such that
the school house should be present
The bsaket ball game will be the last
OF the season between teams made up
of boys, and the season should end in
a burst of glory with all of the popul-
alton on hand to cheer the locals on
to pluck and glory. Then the boys
need the money, and every citizen
ought cheerfully loosen up on this oc-
casion and throw in the small contrib
ution necessary to become the pos

BOOTLEGGER KILLED
BY CONSTABLE IN
SELF DEFENSE .
After Being Wounded in the Hand
Constable Johnny Hoffman Draws
His Gun and Kills AssaiIant-
Trunk Load of Whiskey is confis-
Gated.

Morenci Ariz., Aug. 27.(Special to
the Era the result of a raid on
two Mexican bootleggers at II o.
clock Thursday night Constable Hoff-
man, Mike Mobiles, an electrician,
and Mexican boy are in the hospital
with serious injuries, while the last
sad rites will be held today over the
body of Refugio Prieto, dead Mexi-
can.
Thursday evening Constable Hoff-
man received notice that the Mo-
renci Southern passenger train had
that evening brought in shipment of
whiskey consigned to Porf1rio Prieto
and Ramon Gonzalez for bootlegging
purposes. About IL o'clock, in COM
pany with Mike Mobiles, an electric
ian for the D. C. company, he went
to the home of the Mexicans, back
Iof Burro Alley, for the purpose of
making the arrest. Before reaching
the house he warned Mobiles to
keep about a hundred feet in the
rear. Hoffman approached the house
where he was met by Prieto at the
point of gun. Prieto began firing
before Hoffman had chance to draw
his gun ard the Mexican had fired
several times before the Constable
got into action. The handle of Hoff-
mans gun was shot away and he
was shot through the right hand, the
bullet going through his knuckles and
the. palm of the hand and lodging in
the Wrist Crippled as he was he
managed to- draw his gun and shot
Prieto three times through the
stomach killing him instantly.
During this time, Gonzalez, who
was unarmed, was busy bombarding
the constable with rocks, several of
which hit him about the head and
causing severe wounds.
Two of the stray shots fired by
Prieto struck Mobiles, one lodging in
the leg and one in the ankle. A stray
bullet also went through neighbor-
ing house and struck a Mexican boy
in the head infiicting a scalp wound
which it is thought will not prove
dangerous.
The wounded men were removed to
the hospital where their injuries were
attended to, the bullet being remov-
ed from Hoffman's arm Friday morn
ing. During the melee Gonzalez
made his escape and at this time
has not been located. A coroner's
jury was Immediately summoned and
held an inquest over the remains OF
the dead Mexican. Their verdict be.
ing that he came to his death from
gunshot wounds at the hands of Con
stable Hoffman who acted in self-de-
Tense. In all about twelve shots
were fired, Hoffman firing four OF
these, three of which took effect.
A seaEch of the house after the
shooting brought to light one trunk
full of whiskey and it is thought that
two suit cases which were full !oi
bottles of whiskey were spirited
away by Gonzalez as no trace of them
could be found. The trunk with its
precious cargo was taken to the court
house where it is being heavily
guarded from attack. 1t is under
stood that the booze was shipped in
from Ell Paso and after landing in the
freight house here two of the bot
ties became broken and e liquid
ran out. Constable Hof nan detect
ed the odor and followed the booze
to its destination, deciding later to ap
prehend the men.
