VERMONT HILLS.

o dear green hills, o far green hills
Wherever ! may go,
always see you in my dreams
Because love you so.
Though other lands may call me
My heart with longing fills
I'm lonesome, oh. so lonesome,
For my dear green hills.
% dear green hills, o far green hilla'
Your image in my eyes,
Comes back to me at evening
Against the sunset skies.
I long to wander back again
'Mong your flowers. woods and rills
I'm homesick. o so homesick.
For my own green hills.

chasing a Mexican village for motion picture purposes in these present peril ous times seems more or less unbe- lievable, but nevertheless, this feat was accomplished by the Lasky- Para mount company for the filming of the scenes in "Jaugar's Claws in which Sessue HayakaWa will be seen at the Empress tonight supported by cast of unusual excellence. The story has to do with the adventures of par ticulary villianous Mexican bandit and in order to secure the proper at mosphere and settings, the Lasky company sent a representative to ne- gotiate with the local jeffe, or mayor The entire town, including the cala- booSe, was rented for several days to the Lasky company. Everything pro- gressed most satisfactorily until it be- came necessary to film the scenes where a band of American cowboys ride through the town. The cowboys with their horses were brought down by special train and were then in structed to charge through the prin- cipal street. Unfortunately the jeffe had failed to notify some of the citi- zens that they were in the employ of the motion picture company, conse- Quently when the cowboys, WhoOping and hollering, and firing revolvers, dashed down the street, number of the residents thought the expected in vasion had arrived and promptly sought places of safety.

 DEATH PLACED

That the death of Jose Martinez, patient at the Arizona State Hospital for the Insane who murderously at tackled two attendants on Tuesday af- terneon, was the result of a wound on the head from rock thrown by A. G. Oakley in self defense and in the de- fense of J. w. Quinn, that the said Oakley and Quinn were in danger of their lives and that the act of Oakley was justified" was the verdict of the jury impanelled by CoronOr De SouZa in the inquest held yesterday morning to determine the cause of the death of Martinez The testimony of Oakley and Quinn was convincing and was in part substantiated by Peter Kalberg an employe of Fred Tait, on whose ranch the affair occurred. Kalberg had been an eye witness of the struS gle between the attendants and the man, although he was several hundred feet away from them
 Dr. John R. Walls, superintendent of the hospital was called to give the personal history of Martinez, both as to where he was born and as to his commitment and subsequent condi- tion He said Martinez was a victim of a blood disease, of paranoia and homicidal mania. He said he was sul- len, morose and wouldn't talk, although he had never given any trouble in the hospital.
 Quinn and Oakley told substantially the same story as that printed exclu sively in The Republican yesterday They gave the additional information that Tuesday was the first day upon which Martinez had been a member of the ranch working details
