HERMOSILLO MAN TURNS
LOOSE WITH A SHOT
GUN

About ten days ago a band OF
Yaqui bandits entered the out
skirts of Hermosillo on a ma
rauding expedition. Going into a
store kept by a Chinaman In
the quarter called Los Pilares
they deliberately cleaned out his
stock. They not only took all
his goods but handled the
"Chink" roughly and made it
plain to him that he was in big
luck getting off with only the
loss of his stock of goods. Af-
ter gathering up everything
they could carry away they lit
out for the hills.

Mr.. Max Marks from Her

was noted in The Oasis yester-
day, is here making purchases
OF supplies for the new munich

Mr.. Marks informed The

much for the small lodge there
to carry. So they induced the
authorities to take it over. Even
then financial assistance was
ceded; and the Masons got out

PREPARING FOR THE

Friday evening Mr.. E. r.
Aguilar returned from Alamos,

production of sisal upon a large

Here Mr.. Aguilar found
awaiting him Mr.. A. J. Oliver
of Houston, Texas, his principal
in the enterprise, who has been
here some two or three weeks
awaiting adjustment of his
passport. That matter is fix
ed up now, all details having
been arranged; and the gentle
man is ready to proceed to
Alamos to close up all the de-
tails necessary for completion OF
the business in hand.
Tuesday the two gentlemen

they return they will have mat

explosion occurred. The vic
TINS death was instant.
The accident was one of the
most singular in the history of
mining camps. 1t is considered
to point a warning to all mining
districts at this time, because
Of the fact that during the last
year, with powder restrictions
in force, there has been more
than usual temptation to steal
powder and hide it in out-of-the
way places.
In the tragedy here examina-
ton of the ground left no doubt
that the powder had been push
ed well under the discarded
boiler, where the thief expected
to go and get it at his leisure.
It's presence might have been
discovered only by turning over
tn boilr.
The lesson conveyed is that in
building casual fires around
mining camps during the cold
weather period, or at any other
time, care should be taken to
see that they are in the open
and the ground free from
;hance of use for concealment.

the cluny, about an inch wide, had
been added. Now this in itself would
have been pretty but an additional
edge of black crochet worked out in
the simplest of picOt stitches from

is the function of those boards to
strengthen the balance of the cadets

unGtness for the trying work in the

great mental alertness and many pros

are manifest some times by an in

The testing of the students minds
is going on constantly, often without

foolish and provide great amusement
to the students. A cadet is sometimes
required to shake his head violently
from side to side six or eight times
and then with his eyes closed com
manded to touch his nose with his
right fore.finger Inability to touch
the nose incidates lack of the sense
of balance in some degree. This does
not imply mental deficiency and the
desired sense of balance often can be
developed in those at first lacking it,
Problems to test mental alertness
are given for instant solution. A ser.
les of circles is made on white
sheet of paper by the men and they
then are ordered to draw continu-
GUS line over the first two. under the
second three, over and then under and
so on. A mans poise is rated by his
ability to follow the confusing direc-
tions, which are given at high speed.
Sometimes cadet is sent on an
errand with instructions to do numer-
Gus things. He is rated on his ability
to remember them all and on the Sc
quence in which he performs them in
regard to their relative importance.
Often a group of men is marched by
a crowded table and ordered to re.
cord later what they saw on the table
