HOLD INQUEST FUR
 DROWNING VICTIMS

With members of the family too prostrated with grief to be present at the inquest, only two witnesses were called to the stand to testify before Coroner Wheeler yesterday in the formal matter as to the cause of death of Georgia and Margaret Pilchard, who were drowned at Joint Head Thursday evening.
 C. W. Waters and his son c. w. Waters, Jr., who with MT. and Mrs. George Pilchard and their daughters. were picnicking at the dam, told of the tragedy in which both girls lost their lives in view of their parents, whose efforts to rescue them were futile.
 Their story tallied in detail with the account of the accident which appeared in yesterdays issue of The Republican. Waters stated that the party went in wading when Margaret lost her foot ing in the swirl hole, and in an at 1 tempt to rescue her sister Georgia, also disappeared. her body being recovered half an hour later by the officers. The body of her sister was not recovered until shortly after o'clock After hearing the testimony, the jury returned verdict of death caused by drowning.

FATE IF ALFONSO R|OS,
 ACCUSED IF MURDER, .|S IN HANDS OF JURY
The jury at a late hour, having failed to reach a decision, was locked up for the night.

The fate of Salvida Partillo, known as Alfonso Rios, was placed in the hands of the jury shortly after o'clock last night, after a short but hard fought trial The first testimony was intro duced late Monday afternoon and by the afternoon recess yesterday the last evidence had been offered and counsel argued the case to the twelve men in the jury box.
 PartillO took the stand in his own be- half and gave his version of the en- counter in the Tempe jail, in which Albert Kettle, night watchman lost his life, as did also Juan Partillo, the brother of the man accused of murder.
 Partillo placed the entire blame of the tragedy on Chet Cummings, city marshal, who he declared was abusing his brother. He said that when Cum mings dropped his revolver he called for Kettle, and at the night watch mans approach drew his gun from the holster 1t was then that he grabbed Cummings by both hands, Partillo said, in order to save his brothers life. In the scuffle that followed, two shots were fired although the witness said the gun was still in the hands of Cum mings who he said, started all the trouble in the Tempe jail that night There were two stories in direct contradiction for the jury to consider l The story of the defense, placing the responsibility of the crime with the marshal for his alleged abuse of pris- oners which led up to an officer being shot by mistake, and the story of the
 state of jail scuffle between officer:
 and prisoners in which the officers | were in the right.

attendance at the jury trial of the boys, who have appealed their case to the superior court.
 The complaint was sworn to by the pastor of the church, whose wife, Mrs. Gaston, directed the play which was interrupted by the firing of crackers, which witnesses testified could be heard at distance of a quarter of a mile. Not only was the audience dis turbed, declared a witness on the stand, but the players exhibited distress as the celebration continued.
 As Frank Walls was leaving the church, he testified, a Roman candle exhibit was in progress. One of the sparks struck his eye and for a time specialists believed that he would lose his sight.
 The jury balloted once, returning a verdict of guilty, and in fining the defendants the court announced that a second offense of the same charac- ter would mean jail sentence.
 The defendants were represented by F. H. Swenson, while Robert Jarrott cared for the states interests.

Word was received yesterday by Mrs. Daisy Habecker, residing at the corner of Central avenue and Cave Creek road, assuring her of the safety of her brother in law, James McAllister, and his wife and child, who were reported lost last Sunday on the gasoline launch Waldo off the coast of Cor pus Christi, Texas.
 The Waldo" was lost in a heavy gale with the McAllisters and a party of friends from Ardmore, Oklahoma, on board. The supposed disaster was re- ported in an Associated Press dispatch carried by The Republican Tuesday morning.
 Mrs. Habecker immediately wired the police department at Corpus Christi, and yesterday noon received word that the launch with the entire party had made port.

MRS. MORLEY GIVEN
 DIVORCE AND ALSO
 CASH SETTLEMENT

After sensational preliminary mo- tions were argued in court, Mrs. Made line Morley was granted divorce de- cree from NJ. J. Morley by Judge Stanford yesterday, the final taking of evidence being devoid of startling feat ures. The cash settlement is said to have involved several thousand dollars and is understood to have been satis- factory to both parties.
 MT Morley was not in court, but was represented by counsel. who asked a few formal questions of the plaintiff. and witnesses corroborating her testi- mony of cruelty and abuse inflicted by the defendant when the couple lived at Morley's Country club on the Tempe highway.
 Mrs. Morley filed suit several months ago. alleging cruelty. A cross-com- plaint was filed by Morley. and later his attractive wife filed an amended complaint, making additional allega- tions against Morley.
 When the question of temporary ali mony arose, both sides made bitter con- tentions and it was believed that when l the suit was tried it would be one of the most startling actions of it's kind on record.

Kenneth Williams, playing with the

The slugging proclivities of out
fielder Kenneth Williams has not

wavering adulation of proud fathers
and mothers, who are beginning to
name their babies after Jimmy

of the Chicago White Sox's great
southpaw.
Kenneth Claude Williams was born
June 23. If he continues to grow
as he has during the two weeks since
his arrival he will be winning ball
games for Burke's club before 1885.

A Encouragement of the order Of the

noticed. The Pullmans are carried
next to the engine with day coaches,
followed by the 'jim crow" car and
baggage and express cars. This re-

through trains. being adopted as n
safety measure, that the steel cars may
be next the engine. 1t has been OBJ
served in railway wrecks that steel

SECRET OF IMPROVED ROADS
Every Farmer Must Do His Part In
Keeping HIohways Dragged
Work 10 Appreciated.

The secret of good roads is for every
farmer to do his part in keeping them
dragged, according to the Lyman Coun.
ty Farm Bureau News. County Agent
Lewallen writes further: Road drag
ging fits In about the best of any work
on the farm, for fellow can drag
for few hours when 1t is too wet to
get into the field, and he certainly ap-
preciates having it when 1t is time to
go to town with the wagon or the auto.
Farmers who have dragged the roads
have the thanks of all other farmers In
the country and the praise Of all WIS.,
itors. But the roll of honor should be
increased.
ut seems queer that SO easily con-
structed an implement as road drag
can create such wonders on heavy
roads. The best way to convince your
self is to drag your own stretch of
road. II you have already dragged
it every farmer who has gone over 1t
is talking about 1t and wishing to
goodness that you had gone on couple
of miles farther

OUTLOOK FOR ROAD MAKING
Rather Dubious on Account Of Short.
age Of Labor-Decided Reforms
Should Be Made.

With the shortage of labor for road
making and the more general use of
the rcad~ for heavy hauling, 1t is like
ly that the roads as they exist will not
be able to withstand the hard usage,
md the outlook is dubious for the au.
lo.nobie. Many industrial companies
are making use of fleets of trucks to
deliver their goods, instead of subject
ing themselves to the uncertainties Of
the railroad service and the wear and
tear on the roads thus made use of is
more than they can take care of. This,
more than ever, makes 1t evident that
there should be some very decided re-
forms made in the matter of road
building. The maleshift repairs which
have heretofore been made are not
now sufficient. and all new roadbuld-
ing work should be made on the most
substantial lines.

How Father Handicaps Himself.

1t has been noticed that in many
cases of Influenza the father succumbs
to the disease. while the rest Of the
family gets well.
II find that the father is less care
full Of his energy than the rest of the
family" said woman who has been
doing great deal Of volunteer nurs-
Ing since the epidemic. "1n the first
place, he thinks he has a bad cold and
keeps on with his work. Then when
1t is absolutely necessary for him to
stay at home he attends to the fur
mace and waits on the others who are
sick. II every man would go to bed
and stay there when he is first i'll, 1t
would be much better for his family,
as he is the wage Garner and the pro-
tector generally, and needs care that
he may conserve his own energy for
the purpose Of fighting the disease,
and getting well that he may take
care of his family as long as they need
him."

ASPEN IS HOPEFUL
OF MIDLAND RESUMPTION

Yesterday Rio Grande surveyors went
over the Midland track from Aspen to
the Rio Grande- Midland crossing near
Basalt, says the Aspen Democrat Times.
1t has been reported that the rail.
road administration had undcr consid.
GRAFTON plan for the abandonment of
the Rio Grande road between the cross
ing and Aspen and acquiring the Mid
land track between the two points as
well as the spurs and switches in and
about Aspen.
1t is believed the inspection by sur
veyors yesterday was in connection with
this proposed plan.
If the Midland must be junked, then
the proposed change would be the best
thing that could happen to Aspen at
this time.
1t would give the Rio Grande safer
and easier access to the city over a
better roadbed; a nice little depot
building and control of all the tracks
TO our mines.
All spurs and mine tracks now belong
to the Midland. Should they be torn
up in the junking of that road then in.
deed would great hardship be worked
upon Aspen.
1t would mean the practical closing
down of all mining properties in the
Aspen district unless large and rich orc
bodies were found which would pay to
be transported to railroad cars BY
wagon or jack train.
1t is understood railroad representa-
tives will be in Aspen the coming week
Our heavy shippers and most repre-
sentative citizens should be prepared
to present the situation fairly to those
gentlemen.

GIFT THAT AvERTED STRIFE
How Doll, Presented to Papoose, In.
fiuenced Redskins to Return Peace
fully to Reservation.

A band of Apache Indians were once
induced to 60 back to their reservation
BY the gift Of doll to papoose. The
incident was as follows:
General Crook had been trying to
put these Apaches back on the re-
serve, but could not catch them with
out killing them-an action that did
not appeal to him. One day his forces
captured a papoose and took her to
the fort. She was quiet all day; but
her black eyes watched everything.
When night came the child broke down
and sobbed.
The fort was in despair, until Major
Burke, the generals aid-de-camp, bor-
rowed from the adjutant's wife doll
that had been sent to her little girl the
previous Christmas. When the young
Apache understood that 1t was hers to
keep her sobs ceased and she fell
asleep. When morning came the doll
was still clasped tightly in her arms.
She played with 1t all day, and SEEM
ingly had given up all thought Of ever
getting back to the tribe.
Several days passed with no sign
being made by the tribe. and finally
in despair the papoose, with the doll
still in her possession, was sent back.
When the child reached the tribe with
the prize grasped In her chubby hands
1t created sensation among the In
dians, and her mother later went to
the post with 1t. She was received in
a hospitable manner and kindly treat
ed, and the effect of her visit was such
that through her overtures were made,
with the result that soon afterward
the entire band moved back to the re-
serve.
