Weston Pringle, Vera Prescott and Alexander Rosas. FEBRUARY MEMORABLE MONTH FOR H. WELCH Trade Board Secretary Fell from Roosevelt Road and from Ranks of Bachelordom in That Month. Today is a momentous one to H. Welch, Esquire, it is the first anniversary of his well remembered headlong' dive over the cliff just below the Roosevelt dam.

February will be a big month in the calendar of Welch, for beside containing the anniversaries of his fall from the automobile, it also marks his fall from the ranks of the bachelors. It is hard for Harry to judge which event seemed the most serious at the time, his accident or his marriage. But right now he is willing to take his oath that the latest incident is the one that he's gladdest happened. Welch has been back from his honeymoon for two whole days, one of 'em a work day. and he is just getting so he SSSili Arizona Day Will be Typically Celebrated by Woman's Club.

Arizona day will be typically celebrated at the "Woman's club this afternoon when a. concert of Arizona composition will be given by Arizona musicians. Tlie club has ever been ready to encourage local musicians and aid them in receiving recognition but this is the first program with every number by a local composer. Mrs. William E.

Defty. chairman of the music department under the auspices of which the afternoon will be given has arranged the program. A Hoju' slumber song, a Pima medicine man's song, an Apache dance song will be sung by twenty-five students of the Indian school. This will be followed by a quartette "Arizona, Sun-Kissel Mrs. Henderson, Mrs.

H. Z. Barlow, Mr. Henderson, Mrs. Brooks.

The song written severel years ago by Mrs. Frank Cox is heard on every patriotic occasion and no program would be complete without it. Other numbers of merit include: Novelette, "Soul-Mate" and inter-meszo. "Zonie" (Eugene Redewill), by Mr. Redewill.

'Tor Ever and a Day" and "Cradle Song" (Rose M. Trumbull), sung by Mrs. C. A. Camp.

Redewill. I can think of his boost 'luties coher ently and effectively. It was close after the first Sun Fete that Welch, together with Ralph Earle. the camera man for Pathe's Weekly, were making their trip to the Roosevelt dam. A bad turn on the Roosevelt highway caught the car just as it had an accident to its steering gear and the result was that it went nose off the bank.

Welch was thrown out and fell on a rock, splitting his head and all but killing him. He was taken to Globe for treatment and returned to Phoe-nix some weeks later with his top all 1 bandaged and his countenance resembling 'that of a wounded veteran. Dalstead Lumber Co.

LAMAR The best Program A mid-year commencement exercise of the San Diego Xormal school was held January Thirty-two future teachers were graduated.

Xow comes the announcement "The faculty and trustees of the school at recently held semi-annual meetings have decided to hold a summer session for teachers, extending fioiit June 2th to August 7th. It is expected that the success of the summer session of 1913 will be followed by an increased attendance reaching probably the figure of four hundred students. The standard features of last summer's session will be repeated, and numerous new courses in special phiises of school work will be offered. The whole program is set forth in the summer session bulletin, which will be issued early in March." which Damiens heard without showing any emotion, and he was then placed oh the stool of examination for nearly an hour and a half and questioned by six commissioners of parliament. His answers were indirect and unsatisfactory, whereupon he was placed into the Brodquin, and, having tightened the ropes with extraordinary vigor, Damiens shrieked most hideously.

Wedge after wedge was applied an-d the prisoner suffered agonies. When he had been two hours and a half under the torture the physicians and surgeons declared that he. could not longer stand it without danger to his life and he was untied and laid upon a mattress. When Damiens' treason was found incontestibly evident, orders had been given to enclose a space at the Grove for the place of his execution of about a hundred yards square with palisades. In the middle of this enclosed space a.

scaffold was erected. Damiens was carried to this spot from the Coneiergetie. surrounded by soldiers of the foot watch. He declared that his wife and daughter vs ere entirely innocent, and in no way accessories to his crime, and most earnestly entreated that they might he used with mercy and compassion, and again affirmed that he had neither inciter, accomplice nor associate in what he hat! done. Upon reaching the scaffold he was pinioned to the floor.

First his right hand, "with which the stab had been given, was burned in brimstone. He was then pinched all over his body with red hot pinchers and boiling oil, wax and resin were poured into all the wounds. After this was done, the executioner fastened around the criminal's arms, legs and thighs ropes with which the horses were to tear these limbs from his body. He was finally literally torn to pieces, upon which the trunk and dismembered quarters were thrown on a large pile of blazing wood, and after his body was entirely consumed his ashes were scattered to the air, as was the custom of the period. AT BARGAIN FIGURES Balke's Big Curio Store Getting Ready for New Stock A lot of odds and ends of Mexican drawn work, left over from the holiday rush and a large shipment of drawn -work enroute from Guadalajara, all have induced Balke's Big-Curio store to slash prices in a clean-up sale in this line of goods.

Cost prices are icceiving little attention by the. Big Curio store now in the matter of drawnwork. The main thing is to get the odds and ends out of the way. To those who are familiar with Mexican drawn work it will be understood that the cut is a deep one when they learn that handkerchiefs are being sold as low as thirty-five cents. All other prices are in proportion.

This is an opportunity that ought not be missed. It cannot be duplicated anywhere in this country. There is, in fact, no other place in the country where such Mexican drawn work can be had tit any price, though there is a great deal of Mexican drawn work. The stock at the Big Curio store is made by the nuns of the convent of Guadalajara, whose work is famous through out the republic and lias been so for many years. The stock at the nig Curio store is a selection from the best of the year's production and though other cheaper work might be procured, Mr.

who makes a personal selection of the dtawnwork every year purchases no. other than that made at the convent. (Advertisement. SNUFFS OUT TWO LIVES Vulture Mine Near Wickenburg Is Scene of Double Fatality Sunday Morning. Two miners were killed at the Vulture mine near Wickenburg Sunday morning by a premature blast.

Their names and other essential details of the accident are lacking. Yesterday morning a telephone message received from Wickenburg stated that there was a double fatality at the Vulture the day before and that two miners had been instantly killed by a premature explosion of a blast. The bodies were found to have had arms and legs blown off and to have been otherwise frightfully mangled by the force of the explosion. The party sending the message did not know or neglected to give the names of the men who were killed and subsequent efforts to ascertain them were unsuccessful.

night, Feb. 10 Six valuable prizes. GreatTrials Hisfory TRIAL OF AMIENS Robert Francis Damiens met with a horrible death for having made ait tittempt on the life of Louis XV of France in 1757. He was the son of poor laborer of Artois. He lived in various menial situations previous to 1751), when he was taken into the ervice of a Russian merchant then in Paris.

He boarded with Mrs. Kortieiy and on the fifth of January, 1757, he made to her the extraordi nary request to send tor a surgeon 10 bleed, him. The landlady, imagining he was jesting, failed to do so, and when confronted by her at his trial he insisted that had he been bled as he desired he would not have com mitted ttie clime. On the afternoon of this day the king went to Versailles to pay a visit to the princess, and upon leaving her apartments, accompanied by the Dauphin and the whole court, Damiens, who had been lurking in a hoi-Jon- at the bottom of the stairway, rushed in among the courtiers, jost led the Dauphin, and laying hold of his majesty with one hand, with the ither he stabbed him in the right side. The would-be murderer was seized one of the king's footmen.

He committed him to the care of the uards. Upon being questioned all he would reply was, "Let them take care of my lord, the Dauphin; do not let my lord go out for the rest of the day." These words indicated that he had accomplices, and he was urged to reveal them, but Damiens answered that they were a great way off by this time. These mysterious re-marks caused the guard to put him to the torture. Accordingly they plaeed him near a great fire in the guard room and applied red hot tongs to his legs, but it was all in vain, for Damiens, instead of revealing anything, upbraided the lord-keeper with being in a great meas-i re the author of the public troubles and a betrayer of the rights of parliament. Damiens was removed from the jail at Versailles to the Conciergerie in Paris, and on Saturday, the 2Gth of March, he was examined for the last time by his judges.

A number questions were put to him. in answering which he denied intention to kill tiie king. Xo witnesses were called, for the attempt at murder was too apparent and the attorney general demanded that Damiens snould suffer the same kind of death that Francis Ravaillac had suffered for the murder of King Henry IV. That the house in which he was born be razed to the ground: that no other l'tiildimr should wer be one that spot: that his father. wife and daughter should quit the kingdom -nid never return under pain of death; and that his brothers and sisters should change rheir names.

The being clear, the judges agreed to the attorney general's demand. It was ordered that Damiens should again be tortured in the hope 'hat accomplices- would be revealed. At 7 o'clock on the morning of March 2S. l.S.r7, he was carried to the torture room in his hammock. The recorder read the sentence.
