4 TALE or TWO CITIES

There is quite a city and more Is the pity That it isn't quoted in Song nor Ditty. In all 1t is surely a wonderful City. There never was one that was half so gritty. They treat you with care. so long you are there. But you must beware. you're up in the air. And If you must saout. don't open your mouth. Or else you might flout and roll away South. They'll sell you a lo,. the size of your pot Then say they forgot that it's not on the Plot And when you try hard to put on
 your blosse. You'll notice you're standing on top Should you become visitor and full of pep Your paths will remind you to
 Watch yur step" And you may invest in what you
 think best, Then climb up the cellar to see all
  This City is known al; over the states somewhere in Arizona are open its
 gates. Again. there's a ci;y that's honored
 in Ditty A city that's fair. thsrs taken in care By men that are gritty, and also
 quite witty. A place that was known and sought
 everywhere. It's people were known to build u2 Tombstone And make it a place that is never
 alone. Its lay is beauty. Spot that en.

Earhart and crossed the in- ternational line in search of the rob bers. He was given the freedom Of Nogales. Sonora. by Alberto E. Fi- gueroa. presidente municipal, and soon located the men he sought. The Mexican police were immediately mo- tified and placed the twain under ar rest. Today Ben Wo came to No gales and positively identified Ame- zcua and Arviza as the men who rob bed and assaulted his partner and himself. They are being held until steps can be taken to remove them to Santa Cruz county. Arizona. for prosecution.

Sheriff Earhart, following the vain weeks chase. concluded that the fu- gitives were in Nogales, Sonora. and brought Lu Chang here to trail them down.

NO RUSH AS VET TO
 FILE PETITIONS FOR
INITIATIVE BILLS

PHOENIX. June With the last day for filing initiative petitions mid night. July l, there has as yet been no rush to file the measures with the secretary of state. There is no rec ord of filings at present of initiative petitions. although there are now fi- ed in the office of the two constitu- tional amendments and a referendum to be voted upon at the coming cleo tion.
 The referendum is directed against house bill 2s, which provides for a preliminary examination in courts of record where prosecution is by in formation.
 One of the constitutional amend ments which will be voted upon by the people has to do with the placing of names of the candidates of the state tax commission on the regular official ballot under the party cap tion of the political party with which he is affiliated rather than on the ballot under non-partisan caption. The other amendment has bearing on holding political office while a member of the legislature.
 No member of the legislature dur ing the term for which elected shall be appointed or elected to any civil office of profit under this state which shall have been created or the emol' uments of which shai have been in creased during said term, provided that the prohibitions hereof shall not be so construed as to prevent the election of any member of the legis- lature to any office, the term Of which does not commence until after the expiration of the term of which such member of the legislature shall have been elected"

SCHOOL DISTRICTS SUBJECT OF OPINION
 ev ATT'v-GENERAl

BY ATT'Y-GENERAl
 PHOENIX, June S-While a high school district and a common school district may have common bOundar- ies, each have a distinct entity and the indebtedness against the com mon school district is not an in- debtedness against the high school district. and vice versa, in the opin- ion of Wiley E. Jones. attorney gen. eral.
 Mir. Jones ruled to this effect in an opinion furnished Kinke T. Moore, county attorney of Pima county. which follows:
 Hon. Kirke T. Moore. County Attor-
 ney, Tucson. Arizona.
 Dear Sir: am in receipt of 2 letter from you. handed to me by Mir. John T. White, president of the board of school trustees of school district No. 1 of Pima county, Ari- zona.
 '"I am sure that even though the high school district and the common school district may have common boundaries or are co-terminous. as you express il. yet they each have . distinct entity, and that the indebted. ness against the common school dis trict is not an indebtedess against the high school district. and vice versa. Though the real estate and property in each district or entity may be identical and the same, yet the indebtedness of each is separate and distinct. neither district being res- ponsible or liable for the indebted ness of the other: and the indebted ness of the two districts are not ad- ded together in ascertaining the to. tai indebtedness of either district.
 T think that the election for bond purposes may be held on the same day, and that the election board or boards may act in both elections, but for safety and as a precaution in aid of the sale of the bonds, I would sug- gest that separate voting ballots be prepared, and separate boxes for vOt. ing lists and tally lists. though the latter Is probably not necessary It seems. however, that as a matter of precaution, the ballots should be sep. arately prepared and voted in sep. arate boxes upon each proposition.
 If anything contained herein needs further explanation or illumination, kidly write me, and Till respond. Very truly yours. WILEY E. ONES, Attorney General P. S.--As to the question of the sale of the school land of the com mon school district, this question should be on separate ballot, which could then be cast in the common school ballot box, without holding a separate election"

crowd viii witness the final clashes
tonight which proflses to be all that
could be desired in the way OF speedy
basketbal games.
This afternoon, starting at Q O'Clock
the second round games, consisting OF
i've contests will be staged, and these
should be over shortly before five,
and then three teams will be redrawn
nom the defeated 10 to fill out the
third round, which will be reduced
10 two games OF semi finals and then
the final battle. The tits on for. this
afternoon are Elkins VS.. Lumberport;
Mannington vs., Jane Lew; Weston vs.
Fairmont Grafton VS.. Fairview ana
Buckhannon VS.. Blacksville. The
Westony Fairmont and the Grafton
Falryiew games promises to be best
Of the afternoon sessions. While
Grafton Fairmont and. Fairview are
having rather strenuous tits, Buck
hannon viii have an easy time, tax
ing on the Blacksyille crew.
Az the end of the games yesterday
it. was the general opinion that unless
something unusual took place to up
set the dope seriously that Fairmont,
F1iryiew and Buckhannon would be
the big contenders, with slight
shade In favor Of Buckhannon for the
championship on account OF the rath-
er easy work the drawings gave this
fast bunch, together with the splen-
did team work exhibited in the only
Fame they have played thus far in the
tournament. Grafton has a look-in
and that IS about all, unless they
spring d big surprise. This Is due to
the fact that Clark, the star center
Of the Grafton bunch, and one OF the
best players in the state Is crippled
With bad knee and will not likely
get into any of the games.
With Clark in first class shape,
Grafton would be a very strong cor
tender for first honors. Fairmont has
an even chance with Fairview. and
Bnckhannon for first place. Kahn's
enplayed good basketball last night
and 1t would be a very. happy end
ing to the tournament II the locals
can hold their best pace throughout
the day and cop the gold basketballs.

spirited nothing of dirty work has
come 70 the surface Today is to be
hoped that high grade OF sports
nanship will prevail In all Of them.
