 There wasn't any hystera. Excited passengers were quieted promptly loaded lifeboats The boats lowered properly with accidents. They all they had their requisite and oarsmen. The time it took was precisely the time the Austrian submarine had allowed the Ancona before sending her to the bottom. And on the Yasaka Maru not soul was lost.

BREAK YOUR MATCH IN TWO.

There haven't been many forest fires usual this year. And the forestry service say that of the principal reasons is the hint that heads list of ten antiire sent out Washington last sum mer.
 The rule is simply this: Break your match in two before you throw it away"
 It may sound absurd But if you've tried it, sup pose you do You'll find that you cant break that match in two without burning finger unless you've first blown it out and held it a moment the glow ing end to cool.
 Thousands of hunters and campers in all the na- tona forests caught up that rule because struck their fancy and perfectly simple and easy. Most fires in probably been caused by lighted matches thrown away by careless smokers Those broken matches don't start any fires.
 It may to the reader, however, that there are people throwing away lighted matches in homes offices and public places than there in forests And city rest from that very If the simple forestry rule applied everywhere and would break his match every time he lighted his ci gar pipe cigarette. and every woman woulk break hers every time she lighted the there would be diff rerent tale to tell in the years fire statistics.

SLAUGHTER CATTLE
 HELD FROM BEING
 SHIPPED BY COURT
Three Hundred Head of Cows About to be Shipped from Douglas to Texas are Held By Restraining Order.

TOMBSTONE, Dec. 31 (SpeciaD-
 Quick work on the part of the sher- iff's office last evening prevented the shipment out of the county and state of three hundred head of cattle tha,
 were being loaded at the stockyards of the Fl Paso Southwestern Rair. way company, at Douglas, on which restraining order was issued out of the superior court last evening after six o'clock. The order was issued by Judge Lockwood in the case of NJ. j.. Cunningham vs. the Slaughter Land and Cattle company, R. L. Slaughter ct all
 The complaint alleges that the plaintiff became the owner in May of this year of all of the capital stock of the defendant corporation and that the other defendants are now trying with one R. NJ. Woodward and I. NJ. Hall to ship out of the country 300 head of cattle that belonged to the corporation, and that they have al ready shipped out several hundred head for which they have never ac- counted to the company for and at the present time are endeavoring to ap- ply the money received for the cattle to their own use.
 A request is made for the appoint ment of receiver of the company which is alleged to own considerable property in Sonora consisting of cat tie, land. etc.
 The temporary order was issued on the filing of a S1O,O00 bond by the plaintiff. As soon as this order was made, it was placed in the hands of the sheriff's office and Deputy Sher iff Hopkins immediately served the agent of the Fl Paso & Southwestern Iailroad company. E. J. Westervelt with a copy. He immediately wired to the officers at Douglas that he had been served and the loading of the cattle was immediately stopped. Ac- cording to advices received here most of the cattle had been loaded and a short delay would have allowed the cattle to be on their way to Texas.
 The plaintiff, M. J. Cunningham, and one of his attorneys, NJ. J. Boyle of Douglas, drove over last evening, when they learned that the cattle had been brought across the line and took the matter up before Judge Lock wood with the above results. They home last evening. The other parties to the suit were served in Douglas last night with copies of the restraining order and will be served with copies of the complaint
