Seven hundred students were attending the college. Change in Manaement The New England kitchen today changes management. The new pro prietor Is Almeron Newman, and he will be assisted by C. E. Wilson, for five years connected with the Harvey houses on tbe Santa Fe railroad. The new management promises to maintain the. high standard already attained by this cafe, and at all times will keep the best of Kansas City meats, fresh oys ters and fish and game in season. At once, on hearing of tho tragedy in the Huachucas that involved the killing of George Aston, one of the. most popular caitlc men in this region, Deputy Sheriff UUs and Justice , Greaves, of Naco, left for the scene, where Ells took charge of the official proceedings. The shooting was done in a tent sa loon at tho mouth of Brou n canyon, kept by A. L. Whituey, near which , were some tents inhabited by Mexi cans. Leonard Page, Mack Robertson and Jack Campbell, two well known rang ers, had been notified and did some hard riding, going the distance, over twenty 'five miles, in a short time. These rnnger3 had the Mexicans who participated in "he trouble arrested by the time the deputy sheriff and justice arrived. A coroner's jury was at once summoned and the particulars of tbe ti agedy gleaned from the evidence by I Justico Greuves. Briefly, it appeared that Geo. As ton, who was killed and who lay on the floor with a bullet in his Head, together with J. C Benningfield, A. L. Whit ney, J. A. McGaughey and Cruz Fi-' gueora and Kumon Moreno were talk ing in the tent. Some slight alterca tion ensued, ana Benningfield and the Mexican, Cruz Figueroa left the tent, and walked down the road, where they ' quarreled. Evidently the Mexican was I determined to continue the row after1 it was started, and by some means he had possessed himself of Benningfield 's gun. On returning to the tent Cruz had the sixshooter and the men tried , to make him gie it up. He refused and stood outsidu the door; they ttill tried to pacify Cruz, but in vain and stepping forward to the doorway the Mexican pulled tbe revolver and fired at Aston, who was sitting crouched against the wall. Ashton fell over with a bullet in his bead. j A strirggle ensued between Benning field and the Mexican, Cruz. The tent was a scene of confusion and Cruz got ' away, but came back with a shot gun be had secured and tried to kill Wh'.t-. ney and McCaughey, but was shot and I taken away by Ramon Moreno, who was also wounded. Cruz fired at once on reaching the , doorway and his aim was deadly, fori As on's death must have been instan- j taneous. The cause of the tragedy was ap parently of little consequence, and Aston did his best wUh the rest to quiet the Mexican. The jury brought in a verdict of will ful murder against Cruz Tigueroa. Fiqueroa, Moreno, and other Mexi cans were present, one of whom had pulled n gun on Leonard Page hen arrested, were taken to Naco guarded j by the rangers, where they appeal ed , before JnsticeGrca.es yesterday. Figueroa was wounded and presented , a ghastly appearance, -ineared as he was, in blood George Aston leae a wife and sev eral children, and was a prominent and very popular cowman. ' Monday evening heu the three Mexican prisoners were brought into' Naco tho feeling ran erj high against them and it needed but u spark to kindle the fire that would have caused the stringing up of tbe three men who did the killing and tbe two accomplices. , Sheriff Del Lewis came to Naco so..n after the party of rangers arrived aid Tom Turner, sheriff of Santa Cruz county, came in on the evening train looking for a man wanted for a crime committed in Nogales. Tbe two sheriffs immediately held a conference with the I cool heads and persuaded them not to start anything that might tend to lead to a lynching of tbe prisoners under guard of tbe rangers, as some innocent men would be killed and lives sacri ficed without cause, as the men under both Sheriffs Lewis, Turner and Camp- holl nf thft rnnffpra. wnuM nmlpM. thn nriennAra ilndpr ttiAiT- phnrjp nt nit hazards. Tbe talk of the two sheriffs bad tbo desired effect and the men gave their promise that nothing would be done to interfere with tbe guards and the law would be allowed to take its course. The funeral of George Aston was! held at 3 o'clcck yesterday evening! from the residence of Henry Piatt, a brother-in-law of the deceased, and was j the largest funeral ever seen in Naco. J The funeral services were conducted by ' Rev. Harvey Milton Shields of the' Presbyterian church of Bisbee. Washington, Dec. 3i. At a cabinet meeting today it was decided to make the International Banking Combina tion, organized in New York to do business in Shanghai, the agent of the United States government for the receipt of the Chinese indemnity.

REFORM SCHOOL Work Begun Monday by th$ Contractor Architect H. C. Trost Gives a Review Reporter Some Statistics The building will coat $25,000. It will be built of stone. To be completed November 1. Dimensions, 60x120 feet. The Territorial Reform School, pro vided for by tbe last legislatute, and located at Benson through the untir ing efforts of Steve Roemer, who was a member of tho assembly. William Sbilliam acd other public spirited cit izens of Benson, is now to be erected with all possible speed. The contractors, Messrs. Fifield & Gallagher of Phoenix, ai rived in Ben son several days ago and the work of excavating for the foundation began Monday. Tbe plans of the building were fur nished by architect H. O. Trost, of the firm of Trost & Rust, Tucson Mr. Trost will superintend the con struction work and was in Benson yes terday conferring with the contractors. From him it was learned that the Re form school is to bo Romanesque in style and to bo built of stone, which will come from the vicinitv of Tucson. The building will have a frontage of 1-0 feet and an average depth of GO feet. The contract price is 825,000. It will be two stories high with base ment. Mr. Fifield has had years of experience in the erection of public buildings, and was superintendent of the building of the new capitol in Phoenix. The architect, Mr. Trost, has fur nished the plans and superintended the conduction of many important buildings in Arizona, including the j Nogales and Willcox public school buildings. He recently furnished plans I for a $25,000 hotel to be built at Mo- renci by the Detroit Copper company. The Rf form school board of trustees is composed of C. F. Schumacher and i Henr Buehman, of Tucson, and H. ' Gerwein of Benson. All these men are substantial citizens, in whom the j p ople may rely to insist on tho very 1 best building possible for the money 1 spent. ! The erection of the Reform school 1 in Benson will add considerable to the importance ot that town. As many men will be vmjrked on tbe building as can be profitably handled. While there was much criticism throughout tbe territory of the legis latuio for passing the Reform school bill, because it was lelie.ed the neces sity for such an institution in Arizona did not warrant the expenditure of $25,000 at a time when the tax rate wf s aiready at the maximum of endur ance, etill all should now give it their suppoit. When completed provision should be made for the admittance to its care of women convicts and also the incorrigible jouth of the te jitory The people of Benson are j,be con gratulatep on acurlntr thir territorial public building. Butcher Shop Changes Hands Mr. J. E. Mosher has purchased the butcher business on Brewery avenue which was formerly owned.bv Kenney I brothers. Mr. Mosher is an experi enced butcher, having been for a num I ber of j ears ensaged in that business I in California. He will cany all kinds of meat of the best quality, and hopes to gain a fair share of public favor and patronage. Mr. Mosher came here a year and half ago and has bepn working in tbe mines, but all the time watching for a favorable oppor tunity to engage in the butcher business. S.
