NOGALES TO BE
AT
SCOUT MEETING

The Boy Scout patrol leaders and
scribes conference, which convenes
in Tucson today and ends at 2 p.
M, Sunday, will be attended by Is
Nogales and Patagonia scouts.
Those from Troop Is are Scouts
Lowe and Charles Jones and Scribe
Keith Burr; from Troop II will go
Scouts Lawrence and Freddie Col
Inns, Booker Carter and Manuel
Jackson.
Col. A. M. Shipp, commanding Of
ficer at Camp Little, is sending up
two army cooks to see that the boys
are properly fed. The army will al
so have two trucks in readiness to
transport the boys and their equip
ment to and from the assembly.
Hazen Showers of Tucson, scout
executive of the Catalina Council,
who was here a few days ago, told
of the two months recent drive in
Tucson and of raising $8,400 to take
care of the summer camping and
other scout activities for the year
1880.
1.-THE Catalina Council has some
460 Scouts" said Mr.. Shower, "a
gain of almost 300 per cent in the
past three years. The most encour-
aging feature and the thing that
permits the organization to func-
ton on such big scale with so lit
tie money is that spirit of unselfiSh-
ness which causes so many good
scout masters and laymen to be
willing to give their time toward
helping the boys in their respective
communities. In the entire United
States we have but 1850 paid help
ers and some 100000 of the latter
class carrying on the scout work.,
he said.

You Can Make Good
Money Shooting
JackrabbitS

Boys and adult hunters in Santa
Cruz County can make from eight
to fifteen dollars day shooting
jackrabbits, it was declared yester-
day to representative of the No
gales International by Donald A.
Gilchrist of Phoenix, United States
director of rodent control in Ari-
zona, who added that good jack
rabbit skins now bring from ten to
twenty cents each.
C1ilchrist, during the cattlemen's
convention, had display in the
lobby of the Montezuma Hotel
showing how the United States
Biological Survey has developed a
fur market for jackrabbit skins,
demonstrating the process through
which a jackrabbit skin goes from
the time it is taken off the animal
until it ends up in a SIS Stetson or
a woman'S soft hat.
In seven western states the last
year, stockmen and farmers mark
eted the skins of 100000 jac!1rab-
bits from which they received 81
100000, making an asset out of what
up to recently was a pest, said MIR.
Gilchrist
determination of the jackrab-
bit is of extreme Importance to the
ranchers and stockmen of Santa
Cruz County for the reason that
he is a menace to the range. On
many of the ranges the total weight
of jackrabbits running on the
range is heavier than that of the
cattle and this serious menace is
increasing rapidly, said Gilchrist.

That Nogales, Sonora, will soon
have it's own electric and power
plant appears to be an assured TACT
from statements appearing In the
February issue, No. 10, of the "Bole-
tin Oficial,' an official government
organ published in Hermosillo.
The article discloses that Alber-
to Gayou, deputy for the Magda-
lena District in the Sonora state
legislature, has secured from the
Mexican Federal government two
important concessions and one from
the state of Sonora.
The first of the Federal conces-
sions provides for the bringing IN
to Mexico from the United States
electrical current duty free for
lighting and power purposes, while
the second provides for the con-
struction of light and power plant
in Nogales, Sonora. The State OF
Sonora concession frees the pro-
ject from state and municipal tax
es for a period of twenty years.
Associated with Mr.. Gayou are
two well known bankers and fin
anciers, Ignacio Soto and S. A. Gar
danier, both of Douglas, who are
remembered as having built the
electric plant at Aqua Prieta. These
two men, with Gayou and others,
who are at present constructing a
half million dollar cement plant at
Hermosillo, have long been inter-
ested in public utility construction

Eva Dugan, murderess of A. j.
Mathis, Tucson recluse, is to hang
at the state prison at Florence at
daybreak this morning. She will be
the first woman ever put to death
at the Arizona penitentiary and one
of the few women ever executed in
the entire United States.
Every effort possible was made to
prevent the hanging and all hope
faded when the woman was ad-
judged sane by a jury at Florence
wednesday. Had the jurors declar-
ed her insane she would have es'.
capped the trip up the steps to the
gallows in the death chamber this
morning.
Mrs. Dugan some time ago ap-
parently gave up hope of escaping
the hangman, for, prior to the hear
ing which decided her sane, she
had hade her death shroud, paid
her undertaken, and left instruc-
tion to bury her body in the Flor
ence cemetery.
On Wednesday afternoon she ask
ed Warden Lo Wright of the state
prison what dress she should wear
at her execution. Mrs. Dugan was
advised by the warden not to wear
and soil the fine burial dress she
made at the prison.
Several officials and persons testi-
fled at the Florence hearing this
week that they believed the wo-
man to be insane but the IL men on
the jury thought otherwise and
sealed the fate of the prisoner.
After she had learned Of the ver-
| DICT of the jury she wrote tele-
gram to her father, William Nc
Daniels, in Ceres, Calf, as follows:
"Have to die Friday. Wire ward
en- $50. Will be buried in Florence.
"EVA".
Several weeks ago, when the Ari-
zona supreme court affirmed her
conviction, Mrs. Dugan, convinced
she would hang, made arrange
| ments for Florence undertaken to
take charge of her body following
the execution. She directed him to
bury her in the Florence cemetery,
and purchased a lot.
She has paid the undertaken, she
said, for her coffin and funeral ex-
penses with the exception of "about
$50, which I asked my father to
send me in care of Daddy Wright"
(Warden Wright).
During the two years she has
been in prison Mrs. Dugan has made
and sold beads to visitors to the
prison and obtained the money to
nay for her funeral in that manner.
Mrs. Dugan is So years of age and
was trailed to New York two years
ago where she was arrested on a
charge of stealing an automobile
and later charged with killing Ma
