OF education is provided for each

Education must develop Alright all |

religion is one of those desirable
qualities; therefore, it is the business
OF education to develop Alright the

Education is unitary process; reli-

the whole of anything is necessarily

Every human offspring that comes

these spiritual powers relate them to

Man is not only "a religious animal"

will find them rooted and grounded

JAMESON MUST
 GO BEFORE HI5
 JURY ID DECIDE
From Saturdays Daily)

M. E. Jameson's purse-snatching case will go to the jury.
 That was the effect of a ruling by
 Superior Judge J. J. Sweeney late
 yesterday afternoon when he denied
 motion by R. A. McMurchie for the defense that the court instruct
 the jury to acquit. \ short inquiry into the incident of the snatching of Mrs. Fanny Ewing Scotfs purse on the night of November 14 last, was followed by the closing of the states case, and the defense at once began its motion, using a large number of citations and flanked by numerous heavy law books
 The story told by Mrs. Scott was one of the most interesting heard or the witness stand in a long time not from any remarkable facts brought out, but by reason of the manner of its telling. Mrs. Scott is 65 years old, pioneer who was taught by her husband to fear noth- ing ill an age when Apachcs and made fear rather common emotion in the southwest. She said she loved boys. and had not been frightened when the de- fendant seized her purse Ca present from her daughter-in-law) and breaking the strap from her fore arm, made off The absence of fear was the basis of argument by the defense that the alleged offcusc did not measure up to the requirements ! of the statutes covering robbery. l The force necessary to break the strap of the six-year old purse, it t was also coutendcd, could not have come within the meaning of the ! statute.
 Mrs. c. o. Vyne was called to the stand to tell of having had her own purse snatched the night before, butt he defense was able to prevent her cstimony going before the jury on he ground it was directed at an other alleged offcnsc
 Deputy Sheriff Jim Cook, who ar estcd Jameson, was permitted to ell the jury that the boy had ac- ;nowlcdged the purse found by the officer on the prisoner at the time

CURRAN, N|CKS FREED BY ORDER
 OF THE COURT
(From Thursdays Daily)

John Curran and Edward Wicks jointly accused by William Mcleod of having slain one of his beeves near Walker December IA last, were acquitted by a jury in superior court by direction of Judge Sweeney, who granted a motion to acquit at the close of the states case
 Attorneys O'Sullivan and Morgan representing the defendants, main tained that not enough evidence had been introduced to connect the de- fendants with the offense and there fore 1t was proper not to let the case go as an issue of fact to the Jury.
 The bcef-killing case was the first to go to trial, previous defendants on the calendar for the day having been disposed of otherwise than by appeal to jury. The state introduced the testimony of Deputy Sheriff James Cook and a beef hide to the effect that the dead COW, skinned and quartered, was found frozen i'll I gulch near McLeod's holdings, and that a quantity of shoe tracks in the snow around the carcass correspond ed with the peculiar solcs of shoes iound later in the cabins of Curran and Wicks, which abodes were about l mile and a half from the scene of he alleged crime and half q mile Lpart.
 An inter-racial angle was lent to he case by reason Of the fact that the owner of the beef was Scotch and the defendants Curran and Wicks were respectively Irish and English.
 Testimony of the states witnesses having been put in, and the state having announced its close, P W. O'Sullivan moved for an acquittal Dy direction of the court on the grounds that facts sufficient 10 prove an offense had not been brought out and, second, that while the information charges that a beef belonging to William Mcleod had been slam, the certificate of brand from the state cattle sanitary board showed the brand recorded by w. P. Mcleod.
 The court retired for a short re- cess and on rcsuuing the bench, di- reCted the jury which included the following, to free the defendants:
 F. R. Williaws, James o. Bralcy. Manuel Modal, F. B. Howard, Wm $. Standish, Julian Commod, w. r. Minihan, Walter B. Miller, Carroll William Collins, George St. Peter, Austin Wright and A. E. Long.

DIVORCE OBJECT
 TO EDUCATE HER .GIRL, MRS. HAWK
From Thursdays Dailyl

A tale of alleged cruelty and neg lect IS recited in a divorce con- plaint entered yesterday by Mildred A. Hawks against Thomas R. Hawks and involving alleged interference by the husband with the education of Ester, the 16-year-old daughter.
 Mrs. Hawks declares she is frail, but compelled to work to support herself and her three minor children. She was married at Holton, Kans., on April 2, 1903, and there are three children, Ester, Marion, son, aged Is, and Thomas, IT,, aged s. The first cause of action charges failure, refusal and neglect to pro- vide
 The second recites alleged cruel ties, which are specified as the in reference of the husband with plain tiff's attempts to educate her girl. Mrs. Hawks says the defendant at various times besought her for money and once, securing $500 for an alleged trip to Chicago, took the money and lived on it in a house here. The daughter had been ill school, but the father intimidated her into leaving school and going to live i'll his house. Later the mother says she sent Ester to school in Los Angeles, but the defendant went there and made such threats that she was obliged to bring the daughter back.
 Her plea is for a suit for divorce and custody of the children so that she may continue her efforts unmo- tested to educate them.
 Neil C. Clark represents the plaintiff.

BACKED BY THE

 TEAM TO SOUTH
From Thursdays Daily)


 The champion basketball team of northern Arizona left for Tucson on the afternoon train yesterday. The whole team is quite determined that when it comes back the members will be able to omit the northern out of their title and let it retd the champion basketball team of Ari- zona."
 The entire High school and town, too. is back of them ill that idea. But, good as Prescott's team is, they will have no snap awaiting them at Tucson. Altogether there will be about four champion" teams down there They will probably draw lots as they did at Flagstaff, and then the winners of the first two games play for the final winner. As Gil bert recently defeated Phoenix, that puts Prescott's old rival out of the game.
 Globe and Bisbee, both with very good records this year, will be there also, and so Prescott will have to play two of these three teams. The boys Coach Napier is taking to llSul lSI llC 1' II. s5' al ' ] ON' Heap. Thompson and Bradley, the regular members of the team, but lacking one of their best players, Southworth, who though he IS ac- companying them will, of course, be unable to play. Max Escher takes his place The three subs are Ralph and Eugene Weiland and Jerome Nelson.
 This afternoon and evening Louis Williams will perform his wonder ful experiments in the auditorium of the High school. The matinee will begin at PAS and the grammar school children wishing to attend it will be let off at that time. The evening program will start soor after 7:30. An entertainment of this sort is very interesting to the gen eral public and it is hoped that there will be a large attendance as the proceeds are to go to the now almost empty athletic fund.
 The T. N. T.'s are coming to the front again. Some chemical com pounds lose strength with time, but others gain it. Most likely this T. N. T. bunch is of the latter variety for they seemed to be planning wilc things at their meeting yesterday after school.

LIST PURSE IN
 SIGHT { MONTHS
Rrom Friday's DaiIy(


 The status of a pocketbooll said to belong to Mrs A. W. Stringfield is in question. The question is Could this purse have been lost" when 1t was in plain sight for four or five months?
 Mrs. Mary Cummings yard at 116 Mccormick is kept neat by Mrs. Cummings, herself At odd times, she has been i'll the habit of raIing trash together and burning it. When she raled last fall, she chucked an old purse and an old shoe to one side because sine did not want the odor of the burning leather to pol lutc the air.
 Thus the purse escaped the fire. It kicked about the yard with its companion in distress, the shoe, for several months, and recently was thrown into the alley.
 Yesterday, Mrs Cummings was going to neighbors and in passing through the alley, she saw that darncd pocketbook again. She kick ed 1t out of the way and 1t opened to disclose money-bills. The bills were badly Waterlogged and so moldy that their amounts could hardly be determined. Neither was it easy to discern just how many bills there were But among them was a SIC gold piece, fashioned into a lockct, and by this gold piece, Mrs. Cummings said she identified the purse as one described by Mrs. Stringfield as having been lost some months ago. Mrs. Springfield did not recall the amount of money lost ill the purse, but said it was quite d bit."
