 A DIFFERENT STORY-The board !. of supervisors has received a letter from Mrs. W. A. Davis, formerly a resi- dent of this place. but now of Fruit vale. Cal. and one of the san Francisco earthquake sufferers. to the effect that she has been unable to secure neces- sary assistance from the Red Cross committee on the grounds that Mari cOpa county only appropriated a thou sand dollars to the relief fund. As a matter of fact and as probably every one in Maricopa county knows, this county contributed more liberally than any other of the territory, having sent about S15,0O0. At the re- quest of MT. Davis the board furnished him letter of recommendation. recit- ing that he was a man of respOnsibil- ity, former Arizonian and worthy of help. Nevertheless Mrs. Davis writes that they have never received but four dollars of relief from the authorities since the disaster and she resented the insult of the Red Cross officers to plOred her own misfortune. The letter was written not as a further appeal for help but to apprise the Arizonians of the seeming lack of appreciation of their donations. though the Davises lost their all in the fire.
