audience enhances the act tremendously.

bill, present the usual program offered by
such acts, but do so in more finished
manner than a lot of similar companies

girl can dance. The Joe Henry Trio
tho little less of the comedy and little
more of the harmony would improve the
act. Johnny has a yentriloquist act with
some variations from the usual and

opening mixture of stunts that are worth
while.

SPEAKS TO WASHBURN GRADS.
DIR. Wilbur N. Mason Gave Commence
mcnt Address Monday.

Kansas educational standards do not
justify the states footing it's own
horn" so much, according to DR.. Will
bur n. Mason. member of the board
of administration and ex-president of
Baker university, who gave the COM
meneement address before the Wash
burn rural high school senior class
Monday night. Doctor Mason's sub
ject was THE School and the Com
munity."
America ranks ninth among nations
of the world in educational matters,
Doctor Mason declared, while Kansas
is twenty-seventh in the list of states
in educational standards.
Too much attention is given to de-
tails in education at the present time,
Doctor Mason said, and not enough
stress placed on fundamentals. He
said also that children should be given
more spiritual inspiration than the
present educational system affords.

 The Barney Martin Murders.
 In the spring of 1866, at Stanton, on the south side of the Weaver Mountains, at the foot of Antelope hill there were living and do- ing business, in the way of dis pensing accommodation for man and beast, two Irishmen, Bar ney Martin, who had a wife and family, and s. P. Stanton, bachelor. There was nothing dis tinctive about Barney Martin; but a great deal of mystery, no doubt fostered by himself. surrounded the antecedentS of Stanton He at one time had been a supercargo on a P x Q. steamer plying between Eng land and East India. It was rumored that he had participated in a cer- tain diamond field swindle: to have been educated for the Catholic priest hood at Maynouth; but it is extreme ly doubtful if he even belonged to that faith. Anyway, he and Bar ney Martin, true to the wayward fate of their race, did not get along very well together. They were busi- ness rivals, political rivels, and if there had been any chance for re- ligious rivalry in those days at Stan ton, Arizona, it is probable there would have been a religious strife between them. It is not to be un- derstood from this. however. that any such deadly enmity existed between them as would ordinarily have led to murder. But the lack of neighbor- ly accord later gave rise to many weird and ugly rumors.
 In the spring of 1886 Martin was the owner of certain property rights on the Hassayampa, which were pur- chased by the projectors of the Wal nut Grove dam for some few thou sands of doilars-amount uncertain, but such as nowadays would be con- sldered very moderate fortune. in deed. The result was that Martin. in the summer of 1SS6 sold out all his holdings in that region, and when, where and how he received the pur- chase price is not at all certain Anyway he started for Phoenix in a light wagon drawn by four small mules. with his wife and family. On the way they stopped at Seymour where Harry CoWeH was keeping the station.
 For the information of those who are not pioneers, it may be well tc state that during the many years that the Nulture mine was worked and prior to the erection of a stamI l mill upon the ground, the Vulture ores were millef at different times at three points on the Hassayampa- i Wickenburg, Seymour and Smith. Mill Smiths Mill being about l: miles south of Wickenburg, and Sey- mour being intermediate. Water being available at those places, sta l tions, or roadhouses, were thereafter established for the convenience oi travellers. And during the period oi this story Harry Cowell was keep ing the station at Seymour, and Bil Gahan at Smiths Mill.
 The Martin family stayed over nigh at Seymour, and left early nexi morning to make the 30-mile drive tc water-35 miles if they intended tc make the Lower Crossing of the Agua 1 Fria. During the week following, as | other travellers put in to Seymour Harry asked: Did you meet Bar ney," but no one had met Barney; and no one, except their murderers ever again saw Barney Martin, or any

 Those two tragedies are so inti- mately connected in fiction and in fact that it is impossible to give an int elligent account of one tragedy without detailing the history of the other. What follows will be in part the result of observation, part legend
