 INSULTED THE FLAG-It cost a hilarious Italian at Globe one day last week $10O to dress a jackass up in the American flag and parade him over the streets. The particular offense is not i definitely described in the statute re- lating to the flag, but the justice of the | peace before whom the case was broughC construed the intent of the legislature i to be to protect the flag from all in i dignities. It was argued that the Ital- | ian never thought of insulting the flag but was intent only on playing a joke on the jackass. He had the money and escaped jail.
 l INDIAN DAY FEATURES People who live along the Tempe road were | yesterday made to think that the fair was not yet over and that the rest of the Indian day features were being pulled off on that thoroughfare. The impression was caused by the fact that a noble redskin was seen driving an automobile towards town late in the afternoon. But he was driving a team also to which the automobile was at tached. A couple of young men yes terday chartered a choo choo wagon to take their young lady friends riding Somewhere in the vicinity of the Clay son ranch the big machine groaned g few times, kicked up its heels in the air and died. The Indian was the frs available liveryman and he got the jot
 of bringing the caravan back to town
