Earlier in the day the Mexicans who are laborers employed in the section gang refused to work because one of their number was discharged for loafing The foreman promptly secured a new force of laborers to take their place and when these men arrived and started to enter the companys houses near the railroad track they were set upon and driven off by the first gang who refused to give up the houses The foreman sent for Marshal Robertson who arrested the whole bunch and brought them before Judge Colton in the evening The prisoners were adjudged guilty ordered to vacate the companys premises and were fined a total of 2000 which they paid Monday morning Andreas Alvarez was arrested by ueputy shenti Johnson on a charge of cruelty to animals When brought before Judge Colton Alvarez pleaded guilty and told the Judge the truth of how he beat the horse unmercifully This being the first time the Judge ever heard the truth in his court he told Alvarez he would go light with him Inasmuch ase was entitled to a fine of 9000 or ninety days in jail for telling the truth the judge fixed his fine at 6000 or sixty days in jail Alvarez not being flush with dinero took the sixty days On the same day Cesano Chavez was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Johnson on a warrant sworn out by Pedro Ortega for assault and battery It seems that Ortega was a leading a horse when he met two small boys one of whom was a son of Chavez The boys asked Ortega where he was going with the horse and he answered with a very filthy remark The Chavez boy told his father who secured a stick of wood and went after Ortega When he overtook Ortega and after he had been identified by his son Chavez struck Ortega several times with the stick Ortega broke and run and afterward swore out a warrant for Chavezs arrest for assaulting him When the case came before Judge Colton and he learned the real cause for Ortega being whipped by Chavez he immediately discharged Chavez and stated that the sissault was justifiable Misses Jessie Birdno Lodema Swanger Emma Jacobson and Flos sie Evans have entered as students at the Academy for the coming year i And IVSake Fifty SAFFORD GRAHAM COUNTY ARIZONA SEIPTEIVIIBER 3 lOOO NORTH POLE DISCOVERED Dr Frederick A Cook of Brobklyn Reaches Pole April 2f 1908 Paris September 2 After a prolonged fight with famine and frost we at last have succeeded in reaching the north pole Thus declares Dr Frederick A Cook in a signed statement this morning in the Paris edition of the New York Herald The statement which is dated Hans Egede Lerwick Wednesday continues A new highway with an interesting strip of animated nature has been explored and big game haunts located which will delight sportsmen and extend the Esquimo horizon The land has been discovered on which rests the earths north most rocks A triangle of thirty thousand square miles has been cut out of the terrestial unknown On April 7 1908 we were about 200 miles from the pole and sledge loads reduced One dog after another went into the stomach of the hungry survivors until the teams were considerably diminished in number but there seemed to remain a sufficient balance for man and brute to push along into the heart of the mystery to whicn we set ourselves On April 21 we reached 89 degrees 59 minutes 46 seconds The pole was in sight We cov ered the remaining 14 seconds and made a few final observations I told Etukishook and Abwclsh the accompanying Eskimos that we had reached the great nail Everywhere we turned was south With a single step we could pass from one side of the earth to the other from midday to midnight At last the flag floated to the breeze at the pole It was April 21 1908 The temperature was minus 38 centrigrade barometer 2983 latitude 90 as for longitude it was nothing as it was but a word Although crazy with joy our spirits began to undergo a feeling of weariness Next day after taking all our observations a sentiment of intense solitude penetrated us while we looked at the horizon Was it possible that this desolate region without a path of earth had aroused the ambition of so many men for so many centuries There was no ground only an immensity of dazzling white snow no living being no point to break the frightful monotony On April 23 we started on our return Levy Held for Action of Grand Jury Michael Levy of Pima who was charged with rape on the person of Miss Rhoda Dodge of Pima was up before Justice of the Peace Thomas Naylor in Thatcher Thursday After hearing all the evidence Justice Naylor decided to hold the prisoner for
