NEW KIND or CRIME
MOI Contemplated in fhe Penal Code
of Arizona.

Fietro D0nLstti is botheri1g the au-
thorities about curious cffense lately
committed against him. So far moth
ing has been discovered in the penal
code touching Upon this episode. The
wrong against Pietro will likely go
down into the ages unc'edressed unless
the next legislature should pass a Jaw
reaching hack and covering the case.
An ex po-E factO law is unconstitu-
tional, but Arizona legislatures have
been known to despise the inhibitions
of the constitution.
PietIo's complaint is wierd and IN
Arizona republican., 1899-08-31

usual For some time he has. been
conducting a curNbstone lunch stand IN
front of a saloon in the block. He
lS.lely had a disagreement with the
owners of the abutting property and
his removal became necessary. He
leased a section of the street in front
of another house about $50 feet dis
tant and went around to see the trans
fer men abCu,5 moving him. Clarence
McEwen save him an option on his
services for Sc. Pietro, the more he
thought about it, the more he thought
it was about 81 too much. Mr. Nc
Even declined to reduce his figures
and Pietro found eight MeXicans who
agrsed to carry his establishment to
his new location for four bits apiece,
or 81. Last Tuesday afternoon was
the time set for the launching of the
eating house. The eight powerful
MeX:cans were on hand. They picked
up the establishment bodily, with the
s'gove, dishes, other utensils ond pro-
visions in it, They hadn't moved
three feet with it when the bartender
Of the saloon who was standing in the
doorway, invited the transports in to
have a free drink. They didn't set .5he
house down, fbut let it fall. Having
drunk, they picked up the eating house
moved about ten feet the bartender
appeared in the door and told the Mex
leans it was time to drink again. Each
Mexican seemed to try to beat all the
asst letting go, and the eating house
fell with a terrific crash. Having
qJenched their thirst the second time,
the house movers u'aSJlme'd operations
BUt the journey. was divided by the
hospitl3Ible bartender into stages Of ten
feet each, and at the end of each stage
the house fell with a more heartrend-
ing thud. 1t had long since begun
coming to pieces, so that when it was
landed at its destination it was moth
ing more than a pile of debris in which
broken dishes, a distorted gasoline
stove, sections of ham, rolls of butter,
jars eff milk and canned goods in
broken glass were hopeiessly mingled
with slivered lumber. The wreck was
SO total that when Pietro built new
one there was not "a timber in the old
enc tina. could be used.
He ICid 81 for new Let Clf lumber.
He paid a carpenter SIS for putting il
together He had made the financial
mistake of paying his Mexican movers
their four bits in advance. Estimating
Mr. McEwen's figures as an equitable
price he figures that he has been Gj3m-
aged to The extent OF $40 He then
tried TO get a warrant for the arrest
Of somebody, preferably the bartender,
but There is no law forb:dCing a bar
tender inviting men Of full legal age
to have a drink on the house. ThA
MeXiCans could not be held cdminally
responsible for the destruction of the
restaurant, for they had only given
way to a natural appetite when they !
let the building fall

TO RIDE A BICYCLE uITH EASE.
An English Physician Says the Back Should
He Well Arched.


At this stage in the development Of cycling
after the bump backed scorcher" has been
the target OF censure and ridicule for years. 1t
| Il astonishing to ind physician Of prominence
who will advocate the doubled over position as
the one not only most advantageous for the
application OF power. but also best from q
hygienic point OF view. This Ia. however. lust
| what DR.. II. Campbell does. and he Is by no
means apologetic about IT, He advances his
argument, backed up by physiological facts.
In way that Is convincing. Dr. Campbell Is
IN Englishman. who has written n treatise on
Respiratory Exercises In tho Treatment OF
Diseases" In IL he says:
"One OF the advantages OF cycling 10 that It
renders possible great deal OF outdoor exer-
else without fatigue. How are We to explain
tho wide difference batwcen It and tho natural
mode Of progressionf There are. I suggest,
two chief reasons: In cycling td) the legs have
not to support the body. and (b) the vascular
column In shortened.
"to) The legs. having no work to support
can devote themselves entirely to that OF pro-
pulsion. whereas. In walking and running
much OF the energy expended by the muscles
OF tho lower extremlties Ia spent 10 supporting
and balancing the body. Even the mere act OF
standing involves a considerable expenditure
OF muscle and energy both by the leg and
the leg muscles wholly free from the work OF
support and balance. but the trunk muscles
are largely relieved from the latter function II
the proper sitting posture be assumed.
What do I mcan by the proper sitting pos
ture2 Ifa person sits 30 as TO ride at ease. he
should bunch the back somewhat. since this
involves much loss expenditure OF muscle
energy than the bolt upright position. This 10
