So far as is known only once did any inconvenience or lass result from his stories.

That was very- soon after he came to Arizona, and he often expressed regret at the consequence of his Imaginative flight. About seventeen years ago there appeared in one of the Denver newspapers a story of the descent of a great aerolite in the vicinity of the old Ripsey mine in Pipit county. The dimensions of it yere tremendous. Two Mexican herders and, 300 sheep were killed by-its descent and on the date of the dispatch, the following day, the heat it threw out was so intense that persons could not approach within a quarter of a mile of it. The story appeared in several eastern papers and a company of sci-entitsts from Harvard university, who did not know that Joseph Mulhatton was in the vicinity of the Ripsey mine organized an expedition for an investigation of the meteorite.

The party came to Arizona but was spared the overland journey from the nearest railroad station to the Ripsey mine. Mr. Mulhatton With a party of Kentuckians, many of whom were members of the legislature, came to Arizona eighteen ago as guests of the Southern Pacific. Several members of the party, including Mr. Mulhatton and his.

sister, Mrs. Leslie, had become interested in mining properties in the vicinity of Ray. Mr. Mulhatton remained in Arizona. The original properties owned by him and his associates long since passed into other hands but those which he had been working for several years arc-said to have a promising future.

Though he looked much younger, Mulhatton was pretty well along in the sixties. He was a delightful steny teller and conversationalist. He was a good, w'arm-hearted friend, whom a kindly nature and jovial disposition kept young. He loved Arizona and believed in its possibilities, and became the instrument for bringing many influential people into the mining regions. JAPANESE BASEBALL.

Sensational News From Growing Northern Arizona Town. (Special to The Republican) WINSLOW, Dec. 7. -An earthquake shock that rattled the windows and in one or two places threw dishes from the shelves occurred here at 5:15 o'clock p. m.

Friday. For a time considerable excitement prevailed, though no serious damage resulted. A low rumbling sound accompanied the shock, which was of but a few seconds' duration. Killed by Explosion. While building a dam on the Perkins ranch, four miles east of town, a dynamite explosion occurred on Friday, which resulted in the death of Jose Dagodo, a Mexican laborer, and the injury of H.

A. Perkins, a well known Santa Fe engineer. While the cause of the accident may never be definitely knijwn, it is thought to be on account of a defective fuse. The remains of Mr. Dagodo were brought into town Friday and were interred in the local cemetery on Saturday.

Mr. Perkins will recover. Wants Strept Railway. At the regular meeting of the city-council held Tuesday evening a petition was presented by J. F.

Mahoney that had for its purpose the granting of a franchise to build a street railway in Winslow. The large new Santa Fe roundhouse and shops are located more than a mile from the business center which, together with the rapid growth of the city, tend to' make the proposed project necessary and it will probably be an assured fact within the next year. TO FACE COURT MARTIAL. Lieutenant Will Answer for Wounding Lame Shoemaker. ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH BERLIN, Dec' 7.

Summoned to rescue the coastwise steamer Rio Grande, afire off the Atlantic coast, the steamer Suwanee took off the Rio Grande 197 passengers, subdued the fire and returned the passengers to the vessel. The Rio Grande is now proceeding to her destination. Well Known Mining Man and Entertainer for a Generation of Newspaper Readers of Country Drowned Near Kelvin. Joseph Mulhatton, a well known fining man was drowned in the Gila river near Kelvin on Friday evening.

The news of his. deaiu reached Phoenix yesterday morning in a telegram to The Republican from his sister, Mrs. Helena M. Leslie, of New York. A telephone message from Kelvin last night stated that the death of Mr.

Mulhatton occurred about 5:00 o'clock on Friday evening. He had been in town and. started on foot f-cross the river to his camp. The river was swollen and soon after he entered the water he was swept from his feet and carried down. The body-was recovered "that evening and was buried in the cemetery at Kelvin.

A generation ago tne name of Joe Mulhatton was familiar in every large newspaper office in the United States, though he was not a newspaper man and was not given to frequenting newspaper offices. He had for years been a traveling salesman for a. wholesale hardware house of Louisville, Ky. He was a brilliant, well educated ami highly imaginative, lie concocted same of the most marvelous stories that could be conceived and sent them either by letter or wire to the leading newspapers of the country. There was an air of plausibility about them which secured their publication, though copy readers were aware that they were wholly fictitious, for Joe Mr.ihatton's fiction was stranger than truth, though it sounded like it.

His reputation became such that when an extraordin-rry incident was reported to a newspaper office anywhere between New York and San Francisco, telegraph and news editors remarked. "That is a Mulhatton." Of late years, either he becama less imaginative or his imagination was kept in restraint by the. serious business of mining. Several communications from him have been printed by The Republican in the last fifteen years, but they generally were of the nature of local news matters. Thougli it often has been said of him" that he was "the biggest liar in the United States," he was always to be relied upon in matters of business add his word was good in all the serious things of life.

His newspaper stories, he used to sav, were written for entertainment. Nobodv was hurt by them. The things he Tolleson Center of Newly Proposed Union llio-h School District, Chandler In Need of One Also. Two new union high schools are planned for Maricopa county, which will bring the number of such institutions in the county, if the plans are successful, to six. The plans contemplate a union high school for Tolleson, directly west of Phoenix-ten miles on the Yuma road, and one in the growing town of Chandler.

The school law of the state al lows union high schools to be formed when districts have two hundred children or more in the grammar schools. There will be no trouble in the organizing or a high school at Tolleson, according to the opinion of many of those interested in tin-movement, as there is nothing in way of the venture and there more than enough pupils in the district to warrant the undertaking. The nearest high schools to ToU leson are Glendale. northeast of Tolleson, and Phoenix, directly east. Both places are about ten miles distant and Tolleson is centrally located for the new district.

Already a petition for the formation of the district is being circulated and two hundred names have been secured. The districts which it is proposed to unite into the union high school district are Nos. -2, the Agua Fria; 17, the Pendergast: the Fowler: 62, the Union; and the Littleton district. The case at Chandler, however, presents some difficulties, as but few of the sections are outside of already created union high school districts to the north. Both Mesa and Tempo have some territory down that way, which is already bonded for the union high schools of those two districts.

However, it is thought some way may be obtained whereby this difficulty will be overcome. Chandler has more than the requisite number of pupils in the graded schools. In fact, the present graded school facilities of Chandler are pressed to the limit. There are 6S pupils in that district, one of the largest in point of enrollment on the soyth side. Chandler is growing so rapidly that it is almost impossible to keep pace with the growth with the facilities at hand.

It is, not unlikely that more grammar schools will be constructed during the year to accommodate the increase- present, or that you wish give Paid-in-advance Write us for prices if you wish magazines not listed here.

"Quo Vadis." The story of Christian martyrs. Do you know the story of -Christianity? You do. There are few who do not. Even those who deny it know of it. They must or they could not deny it.

They know of the child born in the manger, of the life, persecution, and death of Jesus of Nazareth. The New Testament is the g'reatest book that has ever been written, but it is all about the events leading up to. including and immediately following the crucifixion. The most tragic, heart-rending and inspiring story comes after that. It is the story of the divine tragedy of the Christian martyrs men, women and little chil dren wiio gave up their lives, were killed, tortured, their bodies dismembered, burned on crosses and thrown to savage wild beasts in the arena all that the civilization of today might have the leavening influence of Christianity.

Do you know the story? It is written with the blood of those mar tyrs on the imperishable pages of human memory. It needs no historian. It is immortal. So its reproduction, not in words, not in epic-verses, not in inadequate paintings, but in graphic, realistic and thrilling pictures, pictures which proceed in direct sequence, which tell the story to you so that you are there centuries ago in the very city of Rome, immortal Homo that is the inspiring spectacle which modern photographic skill affords you. This stupendous motion picture drama will be shown for two nights at the Elks' theater, beginning December Hart's Wigwam.

Mr. Mazuma. A new department store has been under progress for the past week which will have its grand opening tonight. Some very fine fixtures, have just been installed aid the interior is exquisite to say the least. In fact the establishment will undoubtedly be the best of its kind ever opened in the city vailing windward side.

The show has been I well selected, and cast in a manner ad-! mining of no criticism "Mr. Mazuma" is the title, and the playlet has to do with experiences numerous and many occuring around the larger department stores of any great city.

i construcon force numbers Elgin, iu Santa Cruz County, Shows Wonderful Progress. Splendid Dry Farming Belt. Good Reception Given. Special to The Republican ELGIN, Dec. 5.

Elgin, the stirring little town of Santa Cruz county, turned out in large numbers to view the demonstration train, Klein within the past two yearn has grown to a size, not the town alone but alBo the surrounding country. Farmers from a distance of to 10 miles drove to the train to learn more about the science of farming. Elgin is the most prosperous looking dry-farming section that the train has thus far visited and Kreat things are expected from the farmers of this section. Progress can be seen on all sides, today as one looks from an automobile or jmllman window, houses, wells, rigs, pumps, garden patches and industrious people making homes on a grassy plain instead of the cactus and soap-weed of a few years ago can be seen. These, enterprising people have dotted the landscape with homesteads which in the course of a few years, will become 'fine ranches and orchards with sleek cattle grazing in alfalfa fields the country marked with a network of roads and telephone' wires.

George Beebe, the pioneer farmer of this most promising country, 'deserves much credit in bringing solid citizens to this section. Mr. Beebe has considerable land here and is a first-class booster for the welfare of Elgin. Mr. Beebe took Profs.

Moore ami Enger and the Republican representative in an automobile ride throughout the surrounding country. Dr. Moore was very busy taking some interesting pictures and inspecting Mr. Beebe's well constructed apple orchard. Next spring Mr.

Beebe will plant 4000 additional apple trees and will no doubt in a few years be heard of from all parts of the state. Prof. Enger imported three of Mr. Heches gasoline engines. The Tepary Bean.

Dr. H. Forbes, director of the experiment station. lectured to an overcrowded car on "The Tepary a new southwestern legume and in part said: "The experience of practical farmers throughout Arizona has for years demonstrated the fact that no crop so well fills this demand as the growing of dry shell beans. Being a country-wide food staple, they have a steady market which is little influenced by local conditions other than transportation charges.

Among the tepary beans that grow in this section are white, black and yellow. Domesticated from the neighboring canyons and cultivated in small patches, attended at best by a crude husbandry and depending- upon the precarious summer rains and uncertain floods from the mountain washes for irrigation, the tepary has lost none of its native hardiness. Jt has been cultivated by the Papago and Pima Indians from prehistoric times and in all probability formed one of the principle food crops of that ancient and now unknown agricultural race, the ruins of whose cities and irrigation canals are now the only witnesses of their former presence and prosperity. The tepary as a food! among the Indians and Mexicans, the pink bean is preferred to the tepary as they say it has a better flavor. These people, how-over, make the same difference between the pink bean and the white navy which is shipped in from the east.

Te-paries -should be soaked twelve hours before cooking during which time they swell to at least twice their original volume and more than double in weight. The superiority uf the tepary over other beans for planting in the 'smith-West is exhibited in its greater productivity when grown under favorable conditions." Prof. A. M. McOmie went on the regular pa.ssenger train this morning for Benson to make arrangements for tomorrow when the demonstration train arrives at that place.

Types of Cows. W. R. Mcfannell gave a very striking address on "Types of rows" and in Part said: "As truly as thrie is a typical beef animal, brood, law and blockv, just as truly is there a typical doing animal but of a diifeivnt type. Sometimes we find a profitable combination of beef and butter in same animal, but it is the exception rather than the rule while the scales and Babcock test snouhl be upon for evidence to decide in the final judgment of a dairy cow.

the eye should be trained as well, to sec those points of conformation that indicate a high production capacity." Mr. McCoiincll's talk created much interest and he will again spend this evening at the school house. V. R. Hanson of the comfortable hotel here contributed some fine turnips and radishes from his dry farm which received no water except that which fell from above.

Mr. Hanson furnished a delightful entertainment in the evening which was attended by an of the professors. Prof. A. L.
