HUNTERS WARNED AGAIN
 DUCK SHOOTING AT NIGHT

PHOENIX. Dec. 16.-Don't shoot ducks al nigh; unless you want 70 take a chance Of being arrested and fined by federal officers. This is the warning issued 10 duck hunters by Game Warden Prochaska. ard it is based on the federal game regulations which provide tha; t shall be unlaw- ful to shoot ducks anytime between oue-half hour after sundown and one half hour before sunrise. Though the state law is silent on night shooting the game warden has instructed hi- deputies to help enforce the federal regulations.
 Reports from many sections of the state indicate that duck hunting has been exceptionally good this season, and in the opinion of Prochaska this can be attributed in part al least D the fact that considerable amount of wild rice and celery were planted by the game department this year.

OLD COURT HOUSE
 DESTROYED BY FIRE

SAFFORD, Aria. Dec. 1.-The Oli county court house at Solomonville was totally destroyed by fire Saturday night, and il looks very much as f this was also the work of inceaiiar.es.
 The fire alarm lang here about ll:l5 p. m. and the ,iremen assem- bled in quick time, the first truck leaving here about 1l:35. A quick run was made. but the firemen were unable to save the building. the flames having too big a headway aui there was, as usual. no water in the ditch.
 The old court housef since the re- moval of the county seat to SafforJ, has been used as pubic school, and since the brick school house was burned down several weeks ago, had been specially fitted up to acccmmo- date the pupils until the new school house is erected.
 New quarters have had to be se- cured by the trustees to carry on the school. Thatcher public school helped some in loaning furniture
 IL locks very much as if there is d determined effort on the part O. some one to prevent school build ing existing in Solomonville This is the second time that school house has been destroyed by fire. The first fire was undoubtedly the work of incendiaries. and the chances are the old court house was set on fire.
