rival of the sheriff of Lincoln county, N. Nj. He is wanted for a recent horse stealing affair in that county.
 Smith as a boy of IS, years took part in the desperate fight on Blue river six years ago, between the Smith gang and a posse from New Mexico. Bill Smith, the leader, was badly wanted for being implicated in the Holbrook train robbery. He and two brothers were in retirement on the Blue river when the New Mexico officers surprised them. A ranger named Defoya and a deputy sheriff named Maxwell were killed and George Smith, the man now under arrest. was shot through the body and terribly wounded.
 The outlaws escaped and have never been captured. Several weeks ago George Smith came into Morenci, and voluntarily surrendered to the officers. No charge being found against him anywhere he was releas- ed, the present charge having since developed.
 He tells an interesting story Of the bloody fight on the Blue river, stating that Bill did all the fighting, and repulsed the officers alone. Al though badly wounded the boy wan dered for weeks in the hills and fin- ally recovered without any medical aid

ELOPERS STOPPED BY
 HARD-HEARTED OFFICER

PHOENIX, Ariz., July 12.-While pretty Sicilia Yescas weeps and signs, longing for the smiles and caresses of Joaquin Basuto, he lies in cell in the county jail and City Marshal Moore waits for a long-distance tele- phone call from the mother of the heart-sick Miss.
 Several times today Marshal Moore has tried to get into communication with Octave, where the mother lives, and from which point she yesterday teIephored Moore to meet the 3:15 o'clock train fro mthe north and ar rest the pair.
 Miss Yescas and Basuto would wed but for the strenuous objection of the fair young girls mother, who re- fuses parental consent on the ground that her daughter is scarcely more than 15 years Of age and too young to think of assuming the duties of fuiI wifehood
 But Miss Yescas loves her Lothario and of all the men in the world be- lieves him the truest, brayest, kind est and handsomest She claims to be four months more than Is years old, and thinks that as far as years go she has the right to link her life with the one of her choice. Hand in hand, heart responding to heart, with that sweet communion of souls that comes but once in the life of those about to embark on the stormy sea of matrimony, Basuto and his dark-eyed lassie stepped from the train yesterday afternoon.
 Stern in their duty, but kinder of heart, Sheriff Hayden and Marshal Moore stepped up to the fleeing cou pie just as they were about to inquire the shortest route to Probate Judge Phillips office, and placed them un der arrest
 Tears streaming from her wonder ing eyes, Miss Yescss was torn iron the side of her anxious swain. he tc be escorted to the county jail ana she to be taken to the home of rela lives in Phoenix.
 Just as their romance was tC achieve the height of its gory, tht cruel law had to step in and bid then hesitate at the threshold of the altar

Fairbanks, Who BoaSted of Love for Product of Chun, Serves Cocktails at Lun- cheon

WASHINGoN, D. C., July 12.-The story, circumstantially told, that Vice President Fai-b2.-ks server the se- ductive but tnSdiously streacherous cocktail at the luncheon which he gave to President Roosevelt on Dec laration day has set the whole coun- try talking. As MT Fairbanks is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, which is most bitterly op- posed to any form of liquor, the min isters and laymen of that church are especially shocked, while temperance workers and Prohibitionists of all creeds or no creed are unsparing in denunciation.
 The vice president has clearly ar rived at the parting of the political ways. Three weeks ago the Fair banks battle cry was "Buttermilk! The vice presidents thirst for the bu- collie beverage had won the approval of every farmer in Indiana. HoOsier Methodists figured that it was all over but the shouting and election night bonfires. Visions of an h. diana man at Washington began to loom up big.
 Then came the luncheon to Presi. dent Roosevelt. The guests, forty in number. were sedately settled on the Fairbanks furniture when some one whispered to the host what the gov ernor of a certain state conveyed to the governor of a certain other state on an occasion of similar importance The telephone and a nearby club made it an easy matter to supply the liquid vacuum. Forty cocktails, each with a cherry, were soon on the table one at the plate of each guest.
 That settled the vice presidents chances of being a delegate to the uuadrennial conference of the church as far as the blue-ribbon members o1 the church were concerned. They are determined that Fairbanks shal not float into the White House on tht 1 crest of a cocktail current.
 | That is why the cocktail bids fai
 to be a national issue in the presi dential campaign next year. The fac | that Fairbanks has always traveleC on the water wagon. and possibl! turned down his glass at the famou luncheon, ayails him not.
 There are men who think they have seen the vice president sip win from a glass built like the hollow stemmed things in which champagn is served but as to cocktails there i Ia singular lack of information. Som
 thing he always serves them, evel
 when the president is not the gues
 of honor. following in that respec
 the social law of Washington.
 However. it is a moral certaint
 that the cocktails served at Fail
 banks dinners are not the kind i
 which cherries are put. The Fail
 banks butler knows better than tha
 Those persons who will admit havin
 had anything at the Fairbanks dil
 ners that looked like cocktails, sa that the beverage tasted as if 1t ha been mixed with weak turpentin with a dash of benZine, with som thing that looked like an olive in th bottom of the glass. None can sa that they ever saw the vice presideI take a cocktail He confined himse to a sparkling liquid that looked good deal like champagne at $4 bottle.

war WIth Japan.


The Hattiesburg tMiss.) Daily News
rises to remark
The Montgomery Journal says that
when the Secretary of War last Friday
ordered an American fleet Of warships
to the Pacific Coast under Rear Admit
raj Bob Evans the first step was taken
in the war. which is inevitable with
Japan. And the Journal dignifies this
pessimistic view of the situation by
"a full column, double-headed editorial.
1t is gratifying to know that the other
newspapers of the country do not view
the situation with alarm
The Journal said, and it adheres to
it, that a war with Japan is Inevitable.
The firmness displayed by the United
States, in proposing to send one of the
largest fleets ever assembled in this
country to the Pacific at this time
may delay the trouble with Japan. Mr..
Bryan. the great leader of the Demo
cratic party, said only a few days ago,
that all that was needed to prevent
war with Japan was little firmness
on the part of the government. Since
the government has issued it's defy,
Tor in plain words, its challenge to ia
pan, there has been q most marked
change in the attitude of the Japanese
! diplomats and newspapers towards
this country. They are not SO belli
cose. They are not SO fiippant in their
talk of making demands on this coun
try for alleged wrongs to some of the
Jap subjects. Their entire demeanor
has changed. They see now that they
have about exhausted the patience Of
Uncle Sam, and that he is not going
to tolerate any more foolishness. But
that war is Inevitable with Japs the
Journal has no doubts, has never
doubted since Japs triumphed ovel
Russia, on land and sea. Only few
days ago. Congressman Richmond
Pearson Hobson, the hero of the Mer
rimac, and who has made a study o.
the Jap character, and who under
stands his motives and his purposes
stated in an interview at Dallas, Tex.
War between Japan and the United
States is inevitable. Japan is onl,
waiting for a pretext on which to make
a declaration of war. That declaration
may. come at any moment, !, Il feal
that the action Of the United States
Government in ordering the Atlanti,
fleet to the Pacific waters will be TAX
en- advantage of by Japan as a pretex
for percipitating war with this coun

Fox and eibbon.

When the furniture of Charles James
Fox, the famous English orator and
statesman, was sold by auction, there
was among the books copy Of the
first volume of Gibbons Roman his
tory. 1t appeared by the title page
that the book had been presented by
the author to Fox, but no considera-
lions Of sentiment deferred the recipi-
ent from writing on the fly leaf this
anecdote:
"The author at Brooks said there
was no salvation for this country UNI
til six heads of the principal persons
in administration were laid on the ta-
BILE. Eleven days after this same gem
tleman accepted place of lord OF
trade, under those very ministers and
has acted with them ever since"
Such was the avidity Of bidders anx-
ious to secure the least scrap of the
writing and composition of the IA
nous owner of the copy that owing to
the addition Of this little record the
book sold for 8 guineas, a large sum
for the times.
