WOMAN IS RUNDOWN
BY BOY DRIVER AND
SERIOUSLY INJURED

Mrs. Walter Hammock a widow, 720
South Center street, was painfully and
seriously injured shortly before Z

down near her home by motor car

probably be prosecuted, it was said
With him in the car as the time was
Mando Nalenzuela, an 11-year- old
Mexican boy According to witnesses
the boys were driving without lights,
thus violating city ordinance. There
is also said to be a state law which
says no boy under Is may drive a
motor car alone.
The Stutz car in which the boys
were driving was said to be the prop
erty of G. w Murray, proprietor of a
negro garage on East Washington
steet. At the time of the accident
Murray was in the city Jail recovering
from the effects of drinking too much
hay rum and flavoring extracts the
previous day. Both Murray and the

NEW YUMA |NAR|COPA
BOUNDARY LINE NOW
OFFICIALLY IN FORCE

The state engineer has filed in SUI
preme court the map and field notes
of the survey of the boundary between
Maricopa and Yuma counties in the
adjustment of the dispute between the
two counties regarding the line. The
court some time ago entered all order
fixing the boundary in favor OF the
contentious of Yuma county. That To-
Gates it about four miles farther east
than the line fixed by the Brecken-
ridge survey of nearly generation ago.
The order. it was stated. would he
given force and effect after the filing
Of the map and field notes. The boun-
Diary between the two counties had
previously been designated by con-
gress The question was to determine
whether the line fixed by the old sur
vey was the designated boundary.
Ever since that survey Yuma county
has contended that it had deprived that
county of four miles along the Whole
length of the county. But for many
years the territory involved was not
worth contending for. Some ! 5 years
ago some mines were opened within
the disputed strip and then the ques-
ton became acute Nothing was de-
termined then. but the matter was
never allowed by Yuma county wholly
to lapse.
The mines of that time will not now
add appreciably to Yuma's tax roll but
it will gain four miles of track of each
the Southern Pacific and the Arizona
& California roads.

4THE WOMAN YOU ARE TO BE"
It All Depends, Says Writer, Upon
What You Put into Your Head
as Days OF Girlhood Pass.

There comes a time in a girls life
when she passes from childhood into
the land of dreams and flowers, and
the question that now arises has to
10 with the woman that she viii be for
the rest of her life. Is she going TO
furnish the nice, clean recesses of her
brain with things that really count, or
is she going TO toss an indiscriminate
mass of jumbled nonsense into her
heart?
She has it within herself to make
her brain a power, to teach it to rea-
son, to cram it with intelligence, and
TO force herself as a personality to re-
spond, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
There is still another thing that she
may choose to do-she may decide 10
leave II entirely empty. In that case,
Nich is the saddest Of an, her eyes
win count for nothing, even though
they be beautiful, Tor they viii be ex-
pressionless; her lips that, closed, are
so perfect In contour. when opened
win frame those tawdry nothings 50
pItifully evident Of the empty brain
behind them. Old age viii have Moth
ing Of interest in its wake, for the
wrinkles and lines that speak for
character viii be absent, and the face,
pleasing in youth because Of its fresh
beauty, in old age win become noth-
ing but a hideous mask.
