We have been told several times recently, that certain parties have been chculating a report that the News editor was receiving money for the active part he took in the recall. We wish to state that we entered the controversy for the reason that after careful investi gation we honestly believed that a change in the office of county judge would be a benefit to the taxpayers of the county. That the only money we have received jor will accept in this affair) has been for advertising space at the regular rates. And that any man who says that we have received, or expect to receive, any mone tary renumeration other than for advertising (marked as such) is guilty of the grossest falsehood. Capt. C. H. Craig requests that we call attention to the discuur- tesy snuwii me u. i. uuu cue Stars and Stripes on Decoration Day. The Captain states that when on the way to the cemetery the auto driven by Elmer Wart and in which Commander McClain and himself were riding and car rying the flag, was leading the procession, but before reaching the gate several cars raced around and .rot ahead. The Captain be lieves thuL the guilty parties did not do this out of disrespect, but that it showed a like of civility. All resident? of School District No. 44 should carefully read the budget printed eisewhere in this issue, and then make an effort to attend the election on June 18th. The six mill tax to be voted is for the purpose of putting the dis trict on a cash basis, in other words, to avoid paying six per cent interst on warrants amount ing to several hundred dollars each year. This will result in a great saving to the tax payers. Bowel Complaints In India.

M1TCHEL Durlug the prcslcleiify of Diaz of tin; republic of Mexico I went there with a stock of goods iDil (ji't-ocJ 11 ntore ill the state of Durango. F6r awhile I did very well. Mexico had lonj; been nt peace with borsolf. forelKii capital hud come in to develop the country, and It looked an ttiuirh. nr prosperity would The flrst wrecl. of my Uo:,os ,vns tbQ revolution that displaced Dlass tind placed Madero at the head of the Mexi-j can government. Rut this was nothing to the uccesslon of Iluerta anil tho tur moil during his administration mid fall. The Mexican people, especially tho.se who supported Iluerta. believing that their troubles came largely from the re fusal of the United States government to recognize him us president of Mexico, turned more bitter than ever against Americans. I had made n number of friends among Mexicans and. wns permitted to continue my business without molesta tion. This was all very well so long its I remained in the location of my home and business. But I wns fond of sketching, und I intended as soon an I could get out of Mexico with, ray capital to go north and study art, Thu Sierra Madre mountains arc not far from my hpme, and I desired to take us many sketches as possible away with (no of tho line landscapes there. Ono evening after sketching during he Uny I went to a houso devoted to the entertainment of strangers to pass tho night, Tho place corresponded to tho old American tafern of former days. It was not especially clean, and tho persons it coutained wero of n low grade. About 10 o'clock at night I was sit ting in tho dining room reading a news paper. I had gone thcro for tho pur pose, since a lamp swung over tho ta ble gave tho only light that enabled mo to read comfortably. 1 was seated di rectly under it, with my back to nn open door, when, hearing a faint creak of n floor board in my rear, I raised my eyes from my paper. They lighted on a shadow cast on a wall beforo me. Tho shadow was not cast by tho light over my bead, but by one back of tb.o object that produced It It was not very dls tlnct, but HufflcIenUy so for mo to dls tlugutfth it as the shadow of a man. The head covering wns plainly a som brero. Tho owner and shoulders camo next. The left arm wns lowered, and since the shadow of the right arm was simply a lump I surmised that It was raised and pointed In my direction. It required only n fraction of a sec ond for me to see in, this shadow what is called lu, art. it loreslioiteiHXl urni. I believed nl.so that the bund contained a weapon. That It wns u pistol and tiot u ktilfo won evident, hIiicu It, too, was foreshortened. Hnd It boon n knife It would have been held in n dif ferent grip, which would huvo produc ed n whmlow. I would linvo seen noma cvMcuco of it Made. Ill short, u man was standing In n imhsjipo behind mo ud about to shoot mo. KxiHtttbiK to bo Immediately killed. 1 wns (uirnlyzcd. I hud not even the powur to duck un der the table. Naturally my eyes wero glued to tho evidence if my danger. Suddenly I saw mi tticreuse of tho area or tho . shadow. On either nklo, lust below tho stiouldtTH, a protuber ance appealed momentarily, then inurg cd Into the main bulk. Tho right arm was lowered and hung at an augle with the body. Now I could sco that It was tin arm nud thcro was n shadow of what It wns plain wns a pistol barrel. When we nro In danger our faculties become greatly sharetied. 1 question If they do not become rather Instinct. I reasoned out the change Is this wise: Some onp jiad come ti! behind the mini who was iibqut to kill mo and thrown n pair of arms about him. What should I do now? 1 nlwity carried it revolver on my sketching tours, but it was at my hip, under my coat. If I turned now to defend myself while my ene my's weapon was lowered I might bo too late, whereas If I sat still, pre tending to bo Ignorant of what was go ing on behlud me, I might be saved. This consideration Hashed through my brain within a fraction of a sec ond. I had scarcely conceded It when Usuw thu shadow of the arm drown up to its former lwsiuou. i;vitieutly the man who had been Interrupted watt Intending to proceed us before thu In tcrruptlon. Then there was a commotion in the outline of tho shadow. I Judged It to express a struggle between two per sons. Tho right nrm shadow tippenred and wns grasped near tho wrist by u hand. . Now was my time to net, muds four moves instutitaueously I drew my pistol, 1 rose, I turned, nud I cov ered my enemy. A Mexican stood before tno strug Kllng with n woman, who maintained n Arm grip of his right wrist. At m.v movement both stoml btlll. "Drop that wen pon," 1 said. The man replied by tin effort lo wrench his wrist from the woman. I tried to quiet him by putting a lull let n few Inches from his head, but lie ton tinned to struggle, and the woman held oil. In anctlier Moment I saw his lianil with the ,ittol in It extended on hN right. I put a I)-,!! in tho hand, mid the pistol dron;"d u the lloor. Darting forward. I picked It up. "Gringo!" hUsed tho man. I asked Mm v. by he wished to kill me, nud he fluid that he bated gringos. This wns tln only reason ho gave. 1 had been saved from being murdered by the woman who kept tho houso FISHING TACKLE, the kind that navs to buv.
