Crickets "Take"
City In Blitz
Weekend Raid

And then came the crickets!
They came in droves, in
hordes, battallions, divisions.
AS If inspired by a fanatical
desire to deal misery and
trouble to Coolidge business
men uncounted millions of
crickets moved into Coolidge
Friday night and Saturday.
They invaded every business
house. They ganged up on
doorways as If determined to
prevent customers from enter
ing the establishments. Defy

While not completely van

crickets to be seen in Coolidge

main have evidently adopted
guerilla tactics with every in
tention of continuing as nui-

out.
'Tis said, around Coolidge,

Naval Pilot Dies
AS Chute Fails
In Sacaton Crash

]. E. A. Webber, machinist's
mate, End class, United States
Navy jumped to his death from a
height of so feet near Sacaton
yesterday morning when his para
chute failed to open as he bailed
out of single motored naval
bomber just before it crashed in
flames.
Witnesses OF the aerial tragedy
declared the pilot, who was flying
alone from a naval base at Ana
costa Field In Maryland to San
Diego, California, circled Sacaton
a few minutes after eleven yes
terday morning evidently search
ing for a landing field. The wit
nesses believed he was having
motor trouble as he headed for
Phoenix only to return flying low
over the Sacaton seed farm.
When about 100 feet elevation the
bomber was seen to go into q
glide as IL the pilot meant to at
tempt a landing. A moment lat
er Webber bailed out as the ma
chine headed straight for the
ground, bursting into flames upon
impact.

Children Cause
Trouble In North
Coolidge Thursday

Marquis of Queensberry rules
were ignored Thursday wheN Mrs.
Mamie Walker and Mrs. Lavella
Moore. both of North Coolidge,
settled a dispute over the form
er's children in traditional cave
woman style.
Mrs. Walkers children, alleged
Mrs. Moore, repeatedly came into
her yard and turned on the hy-
drant. but never bothered to turn
it off. Their mother was request
ed to keep her offspring from
wasting the water, but appar-
emily forgot to tell them, for 1t
kept right on happening, accord
ing to Mrs. Moore, until she was
forced tn take the situation in
hand herself. The children ran
home with "tall tales" then
the trouble started! With an in
dignant, CANT nobody abuse my
children" Mrs. Walker marched
to her neighbor's home.
Before the argument was settled
Mrs. Walkers married daughter,
Mrs. Georgia Williams and Mrs.
Moore's niece. Miss Irene Var
brough, joined the melee.
When Mrs. Moore could get her
breath she swore out a complaint,
and Saturday morning In local
justice court, Mrs. Walker and
Mrs. Williams plead mot guilty"
to disturbing the peace. Evidence
however, was against them, and
each was given her choice Of
paying a fine of $40 or serving 10
days in Jail.
Evidently of a practical turn of
mind the women spurned family
offers to pay their fines, but after
serving two days in the county
Jail at Florence, according to To-
cal officers, they allowed their
families to pay them out.

Pinal county taxpayers will pay
a county tax rate of $.530S during
the fiscal year ending June 30th.
1912 according to estimates con-
tanned i'm the tentative county bud
get adopted by the board of SUI
pervisors.
This estimate, a reduction of
$1.0692 per hundred dollars of as
sessed valuation, is based on a
total countrywide valuation of
$2S,919,976 as certified to the
board of supervisors, Tuesday
by County Assessor Lynn Farley.
The new county valuation figure
represents an increase of $780,
1888 above last years total.
Despite the great reduction in
the county tax rate general coun-
ty costs budget for the ensuing
year are $31,7SO greater than sim
liar costs of last year. General
costs were increased $17,2S0 while
ar additional S14,500 was budget
ed for the road department.
The new state law providing
for all school funds to be collect
ed and disbursed by the state is
responsible for the major portion
OF the county reduction and no
general levy will be made for
either school maintenance or re-
serve. However, county taxpay-
ers will be saddled with an al
most doubled tax rate so that
little if any total tax reduction
may be expected.
Pinal county's share of the
state sales tax is expected to to-
tai s132.900 according to a certi-
fication reaching the county faith
ers from the state tax commits
sion. This fund, under the state
law must first be used for bond in
terest and redemption and the
balance for general county pur-
poses. Bond requirements of the
sales tax monies have been esti-
mated at s5O,27S.5S leaving sS2,
G21.42 for general usage.

Pinal county has made a net

this week by M. E. Memis, sta
tistical secretary OF Phoenix
Chamber of Commerce. The
increase would make the total
population 1898 as compared
with 28,S41. The new figures
were obtained by taking the
ratio of 6.146S between the av-
erage daily attendance OF Pinal
elementary schools for the CEN
sus year and multiplying the
average daily attendance fig
ures for the last school term.
On this basis Coolidge and
