YOUNG LADY KIDNAPPED
And Taken Into One of the Most Des-

And Taken Into One of the Most Des-
olate Places on Earth.
Bound and gagged, the maiden
was thrust into a gulny sack, and
unable to move or scream, she felt
riage and driven rapidly down the
street Intellectually she struggled
to release herself from the gag. Alas:
the conveyance stopped. She was then
carried into a building, gasping for
breath. The sack was taken from
her head, and the gag removed from
her mouth, her captors saying:
There. my pretty bird. scream as
loud and as long as you like, no one
will hear you here"
Where am I?'' she gasped. you

me to the Roswell Hardware Compa-

that is the most popular place in

JAPAN HAS NO DESIGNS
AGAINST UNITED STATES.

Paris, May S.-M. KurinO, Japan
ese minister, in an interview today
S quoted as making the important
statement that the series of treaties
between Great Britain, France, Rus
s'a and Japan, guaranteeing a terri
torfal status quo" in the Far East,
implies agreement to prevent other
countries from acquiring territory
there. Kurino denied that the Franco
Japanese intent was in any way aim
ed AIT the United States, adding: ga
pan, in spite of the San Franci in
eident, has always been most sympa-
thetic toward the United States be-
cause she was the first nation to
treat the Japanese people ON a foot
ing of equality. If Japan could obtain
any advantages from an understand
ing with the United States it is en-
tirely probable that the government
at Toxic would not hesitate to nego-
tiate with Washington
Kuriao said that Germany had no
possessions in the Far East, Kio Chou
being simply leased Chinese ground
A treaty with her similar to the one
between Japan and France therefore
would be useless.

ported from authoritative sources
that the Adjutant General has order
ed General Wankowski to take the

title of the heavyweight championship
Since their bout on Thanksgiving eve
| both men have been dreaming and
tscaeming for another meeting, at
{ which the question of superiority
might be definitely decided, and it
is certain that both will put up the
big scrap of their lives. The men
have been training hard for the event
and will enter the ring in good condi-
tion. The training stunts of Burns
have been planned with the end in
view of enabIing him to corner the
shifty Pniladelphian and have it out
with him, give and take. Footwork,
one of O'Briel's strong points, will
likely play a prominent part in his
ring campaign for the cham pionShip.
Unless Burns succeeds in landing
another haymaker blow such as the
one that made the Philadelphia grog
gy in the fifth round of the previous
Burns-O 'Brien bout, the fight will al
most certainly go the limit of twenty
rounds, as it is highly unlikely that
O'Brien possesses a punch sufficient
to send Tommy down for the count.
With thousands of Fiesta visitors
and Shriners in the city it is certain
that the battle will be witnessed by
a tremendous crowd, Manager McCary
estimating the total receipts at over
$55,00O. About $500 people can be
seated in the pavilion and it is prac-
tically assured tnat every available
seat will be sold. Several ring-side
boxes have just been constructed and
seats in these sell at $50, this being
the top price. OF the chair seats, the |
first section are held at $50 and the |
others at $40 each. Admission to the |
gallery will be at the rate of IS head |
and no tickets will be placed on sale |
until tonight.

Here is a story that has been going
the rounds of the press for a good
many years, and which has even beer
used oa the minstrel stage, we
are short of copy:
A lawyer who was trying to get 3
witness to admit there was such a
thing as miracle, asked:
IF a man should fall from "a third
story window to granitoid walk and
get up unhurt, what would you call
that?"
''An accident, sir
The attorney scented battle and
squared himself to pin the witness
down.
And if he should do the same
thing the next day?" he asked.
"That would be a coincidence"
"And If he should go through the
same performance the third day?"
persisted the attorney.
'HThe same man ?''
Yes"
.eAnd fall from the same window ?'
yes"
so I'd call that a habit"
