TRIBESMEN BY OFFICER.
Indian Opened Fire on Officers When
They Attempted to Arrest Him.
Renegade Utah Piutes Agitate
Disturbance.

Phoenix, Ariz.-Five thousand resi-
dents of the northwestern portion of
Arizona are alarmed over reports that
the Hopi tribe ON the Navajo reserva-
ton are threatening to go on the war
path" according to reports received
here Monday. Approximately 25,OOO
Indians are living on the Navajo reser-
walton, but it was not known what
proportion of them were involved in
threatening uprisings
The Hopi Indians became angered,
it as said, when one of their number
was shot and killed several days ago
by police officers. The Indian opened
fire on the officers when they at
tempted to arrest him and was killed
by one of the officers a moment later.
Friends of the Indian Immediately
began to foment trouble among other
Indians on the reservation, and some
of the Piutes who went on the war
patr in the Bluff, Utah, district about
a year ago, began agitating disturb
ance among this gang.
The shooting occurred near Lees
ferry, a crossing on the Grand canyon
of Arizona. about fifty miles south of
the Arizona-U Utah boundary line Word
of the threatened trouble was brought
TO Flagstaff by an Indian runner.
Efforts probably will be made to
have troop of cavalry from Ell Paso
accompany the deputies to the scene.

has been asked and answered il
various ways. A quarter of a cen
tury ago, perhaps, there went tn
newspaper rounds an exquisite littl,
triplet of stanzas each bearing al
answer to the question, and below il
the way it went:
A Woman's Weapon.

She dropped her lashes slyly
And stroked a vagrant curl;
Then consciously she murmured-

With eyes of heavenly blue;
Her velvet lips were parted,
All innocent of guile,
And eagerly he answered,
Her weapon is a smile.'

l asked a poet then;
With sudden inspiration
He seized upon his pen;
ooh, l could name a thousand"
He cried with accents clear;
But woman's surest weapon
l grant you, is a tear"
Then if tears are being shed from
the weeping eyes and wounded
hearts of troubled women of these
countries in proportion to the blood
that flows from the gaping veins of
the fallen soldiers, surely peace
white winged, must soon surely
come, with her mission of love and
mercy.

Nashville.

NdbuNlilS,
The Tennessee troops will not re.
turn from the border by Christmas
nor by Jan. 1, according to advices
from the Tennessee delegation who
have been besieging the war depart
ment to have the troopers returned
home.
The war department says that Gen.
Funston has shown no disposition to
order the return of the Tennessee
troops soon, and it is expected, since
winter quarters are being constructed
at Pharr, Texas, where the Third Ten
nessee troops are located, that they
will not return until spring.
At the war department high off
cials point out that the disposition of
the Tennessee troops and all other
state troops depends largely on action
taken by the Mexican-American joint
commission now in session in Phila-
telphia. Some of the guardsmen may
be returned this winter, but not until
after the Pershing expedition has re.
turned to American soil.

Election CERTIFICATES Issued.

Putting the house in order, liter.
ally speaking, Will T. Jones, superin-
tendent OF the state capitol, is busy
preparing for the coming Of the sixth
eth General Assembly of Tennessee,
Monday, Jan. l, 1917. Both the sen.
ate chamber and the house of repre-
sentatives are being put in condition
for the business Of the legislature and
the superintendent is leaving no de-
tail neglected that will contribute to
the convenience and pleasure Of the
members.
All the desks have been cleaned and
chairs put in the best of condition and
both will be placed at once according
to the diagram of the two houses.
Drinking water for the solons has
always been an important part of
statehouse supplies, and as Tennessee
is now occupying seat near the pilot
of the water wagon, Supt. Jones is go
ing to see that the drinking water sup
ply is all that members can desire
He will let the contract for both
spring and distilled water and the
legislature can take their choice. All
supplies are purchased after competi-
tive bids are secured.

The bill introduced in the last gen.
eral assembly, and which passed the
house, donating all the property and
effects of the Tennessee Historical So
ciety to the state, valued at 100000,
will be again offered to the coming
session. Strong hopes are now enter
tanned that sufficient interest has been
aroused throughout state to assure
favorable action before the legislature
on this splendid gift to the state.
At present only three states have no
institutions of this kind, and this state
is one Of these.
The society now has two members in
the general assembly, Mr.. N. w. True
of Springfield and Col. John Thompson
of Nashville, who are strong advocates
of the measure.
