Published by Request)

Because the principal of the school at Williams chastised a child whose parent happened to be a member of the school board the board met last week and summarily dismissed the principal. There seems to be considerable trouble in school matters in that town, and to an outsider it looks very much as though a general house-clean- ing of the school officers is needed more than anything else. Only a few months ago member of the school board was removed from office by the other two members, and a suit was fought in the courts over the matter, and prior to the fir ing of the present principal an- other principal was dismissed for some trivial reason. Evi- dently for a teacher to hold his job in Williams he must sur render all his individuality of character, and be led around by the nose by the members of the school board, and must not attempt to discipline any of the children belonging to the school board -Winslow Mail

NATIONAL GAME REFUGE
 HOPED FOR

The National Game Refuge Bill, based on what is known as the Hornaday Plan, failed of passage at the last session of Congress, in spite of wide spread popular support. It is said that every Game Protec- tive Association and almost every Chamber of Commerce and Stockmen's Association in New Mexico heartily endorsed it. Sportsmen and Forest of ficers are hoping that it will be enacted into law by the present Congress so that the work of establishing a system of Game Refuges can go forward.

DISHES CRASH WHILE
 C1INAMEN FIGHT

Two Chinamen belonging at the American restaurant, block 2, Railroad Ave-, had a fight Sunday evening in which the dishes were used freely and red gore was caused to flow. Wah Kim and Tom Chon were the orientals. They were partners in the restaurant business and as far is known got along we'll until Sunday which was Chin csc New Years Day. In justice court Monday p. m., both ad- mitted indulging in red liquor the night before, probably to celebrate the day. Whiskey is responsible for many fights and may be charged with this. Tom Chon was unfortunate enough to come out of the fight pretty well cut up about the face and head. He got treatment at the jail and appeared in court with many bandages. Judge Button discharged the Chinamen, as- sessing to Tom Chon the ex- pense of medical treatment which will be about $2O.OO.

KILLED LION WITH
 SMALL RATCHET

Ash Fork, Ariz., Jan. 19.- Labon Luera, range foreman for the Colin Campbell outfit, is the hero of northern Arizona as the result of a terrific battle in which he killed a huge mountain lion with a small hatchet. The lion, which had been killing sheeep on the range, was discovered by Luera inside his tent when he went there to get a rifle to hunt the beast. Picking up a small hat chet Luera attacked the lion and in spite of severe lacera- tions succeeded in beating it until it was unconscious. He then killed the animal with his rifle. The lion measured nine feet two inches from tip to tip and had killed ten head of sheep on the range. When discovered by Luera it was in the act of devouring a side of mutton which was to be cook ed for the gang that evening.
