WHIPPING OF BOY
TO BE CARRIED UP.
Affidavits In the Matter Sub
mitted to State Superin-
tendent

1t appears that the matter of the
old Clarence Meyer, son of Mrs. Dora
Meyer, by Miss Sophie Lancer. teacher
of the kindergarten school in the
south side building, on November 30,
is to be carried to the state superin-
tendent, and possibly to the courts, by
the mother and brother of the child.
The law firm Of Thomas & Fisher
have been retained to handle the mat
ter for the cOmplainants. Although the
teacher handed in her resignation inn
mediately following the clamor aroused
by the punishment of the Moyer child,
the board of education, after consid-
ering the testimony of several persons,
decided to retain the services of the
teachec because of her past good rec
ord, and she has been teaching the
school since the incident.
Many stories have been circulated
concerning the degree Of punishment
inflicted and it seemed to be difficult to
obtain the exact facts in the matter.
Some of the stories it is said, were
greatly overdrawll. but that the child
| was severely punished by someone, as
evidenced by numerous black and blue
| marks on his body, buttocks and legs,
| is sustained by numerous affidavits OF
people who saw the little boy stripped,
and by one doctor. and George a.
| Drewrey, inspector of state graded
schools. Miss Lancer admits using
| the handle Of small broom in whip
ping the hoy.
Had the teachers resignation been
accepted by the board of education, the
matter would have been dropped, but
| since she had been retained, GORE
/ spondence has been entered into with
| the state superintendent, affidavits
| submitted, and a clipping from one OF
the local papers sent to the superin
tendent A reply from the state SlE
perintendent is to the effect that the
matter will receive serious considefa-
ton by that official.
/ 1t is said that quite a number 81
/ small children are being kept out o1
school by their parents because OF the
retention of the teacher in the school

BIS6EE BATTLES HARD.
 BUT LOSES DECIDING GAME

In game replete with hard battling and clean playing, the Phoenix High school Saturday at Warren park. cliiched the title of state high school champions when the visiting team de. feated the Bisbee eleven by a score of 2s to 0. The score, one-sided though it appears. does not indicate the excellence nor the grit that result ed in keeping the heavier (and equal ly fast Coyotes from the Salt River Valley piling up far greater score.
 Millage, for the visitors, the full back, aided by his entire team and, particularly his backfield, won the honors of the day. For the losing team, the work of Crouch. Bisbee's left half back, stood out particularly strong. The open field running of Johnny Cole. Bisbee's quarter, partic- ularly on running back punts, was an other feature of the Bisbee play.

PROMlNEN MEN VISIT CITY


 Tombstone today was visited by two prominent men in the persons of Geo. P. Edwards. publisher of The Coast Banker of San Francisco. Cal |, and A. W. Woodward, vice president of the Mechanics and Metals National Bonk of New York City. The two gentlemen are very much interested in the historic old relics on display about the city and having heard so much of Tombstone, took advanage of their visit to take in all the available sights. They were both surprised at the relic of olden days, but much more so by the fact that they are being allowed to lay about in old store rooms. unprotected and poorly dis played. They continued on to Bisbee after spending the day here on com bined business and pleasure.

s RELEASED FROM PRISON ARE TO GO
 BACK TO MEXICO

PHOENlX Dec. 5.-A deportation party. but not of the Cochise county variety, took place today when thir- teen malefactors were taken in charge by the L. s. Immigration authorities at the state prison at Florence. Twelve of them were Mexicans and will be returned to their native coun- try on account of having committed crimes and served sentences for offen- ses involving moral turpitude. The thirteenth man, John Y. Earl. convict ed of grand larceny in Maricopa coun- ty will be sent across the northern boundary line into Canada. All of them have served their minimum sen- tences in the pen, it being the policy of Governor Campbell not to sign such paroles until the law demands have been satisfied The prison population ;03 will be reduced by the above number and incidentally the expense of maintaining the institution propor- tionately reduced. In these times of economic stress an increase in crime has been noticeable and the Florence institution, if the crime wave contin- ues. threatens 10 outgrow its accom- modations.
 It is the custom 10 release a num- Der of prisoners on Christmas day in recognition of the occasion and as a suardon for good luck. What the pres ent board of pardcns will do is prob lematical, but il is rumored that a meeting will be held soon at which deserving cases will be considered

 Acting on this information. the board instructed the clerk to notify the various chambers of commerce and other similar bodies about the county. inorder that they may have delegations present in their own in. terests.
 It is understood that word has sim, mered through from Graham county that an organization of boosters in that section have laid plans for grab bing the cross country tourist travel for ,he northern route

GETS TEN YEARS.
 FOR STRIKING OFFICER.

Private Edward Johnson. of the Tenth Cavalry at Fort Huachuca. was given d dishonorable discharge from the service and sentenced to 10 years confinement, as the result of a eener- al court martial conducted at the Fort Friday.
 According to information received here. it seems that Johnson had been ordered by his sergeant n put a half hitch in mules mouth and lead the animal before the auctioneer's stand at recent sale of army stock being conducted az the Fort. Johnson re- fused to obey the command and Capt. Edward I. Cheely went to the troop CT to determine the cause of his re- fusal. The trooper. without words, struck the officer in the face.
 At the trial he made no attempt at H'A'HSt' IA'oNiiIS Su4lNS tO lAc tlIdI St
 The prison in which Johnson will serve his sentence will be determined by the reviewing authorities at San Antonio, Texas.
 H. D. Palmer, court reporter of Di- vision of the Superior Court. re- ported the case.
 This is the first time, as far as known, that trial Of such character has been held in this section of the military division. Many trials and various charges have occurred at the various army posts in this division, but this is the first in which a pri- vate faced the charge of striking a commissioned officer.

FIRE PLUG BROKEN
Careless driving costs cash

Careless driving costs cash.
 In spite of this known fact, some local Barney Oldfield failed to make the turn on Sixth street, near the res idence of Mrs. Kate Rafferty about s:3O last night, with the result that the fire hydrant was broken off.
 The loss of water and expense to the city was caused by the driver cutting the corner and miscalculating inches at the unsafe rate Of speed, said Manager A. II. Gardner of the Huachuca Water company this morn ing.
 Many families were inconvenienced for several hours as the result of the accident. as the fire plugs carry the full force of the main lines. which had to be cut off during the time of repair.
 There are many fire plugs about the city, the property of the city, which are unprotected. and it is un- derstood that the matter will be taken up by the city council at their meet ing tomorrow night
