RELIANCE IN CUTlCURA
 PROVED WELL-FOUNDED

About twelve or fifteen years ago, while living in West Virginia, had breaking-out, and it itched and stung so badly that could not have any peace because of it. 1 saw three doctors and they did not agree on what 1t was, so one of them gave me something that he called medicine, but l called 1t soda water. 1 might just as well have washed in rain-water. Then got some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent and began to get better right away. They cured me and I have not been bothered with the itch ing since, to amount to anything. About two years ago l had la grippe and pneumonia which left me with a pain in my side. Treatment ran it into my leg, which then swelled and began to break out. It got in pretty bad shape, so I went to a doctor. He was afraid it would turn to blood-poison. I used his medicine but it did no good. So sent for another set of the Cuticura Remedies. l used them three times and cured the breaking-out on my leg. Now I won't be without Cuticura. J. F. Hennen, R. F. D. 3, Milan, Mo-, May 13, l907."

STORY OF R|FLED SAFE
 AND MISSING DOCUMENTS
In a Further Hearing of the Oaggs Matter the Restored Managers Said It Gazed Upon a Scene of Devasta- ton.

There was another interesting ses- sion in the Daggs case in the district court yesterday Certain documents and books had been ordered to be brought in and the order was directed at Hugh R. Daggs and F. B. Lyon, who had been restored to the manage ment of the offices of the Arizona Charter Guaranty company, the West ern Incorporating company and the London company, after the modifica- tion of the order of last Friday put ing Miss Frances l.. Joslin in charge.
 Messrs. Daggs and Lyon resumed control on Monday afternoon and they reported to the court that they had found things in a state of disorder on their return. The safe had been drill ed. roll top desks broken open with a Jimmy" and many papers and books missing. They intimated that all this wreck and run had been wrought by Miss JOslin and her as- sociates in the temporary manage ment.
 They therefore moved that the plaintiffs in the pending action, P. P. Daggs and J. F. Daggs. be compelled to produce these papers and books. consisting of copies of articles of in corporation of the various companies. a bank passbook, private letters which had been received by the defendants from A. J. Daggs and R. E. Daggs re- lating to the business, and certain tin box containing q lot of letters on various topics The defendants, on their side, said that they knew noth- ing of the missing papers. but they admitted the drilling of the safe and the breaking open of the desks, there being no other way for Miss Joslin. who was in control. to gain access to the papers and books.
 George Kirkland, who had opened the safe, said that when he performed that artistic pob there were present F. P. Daggs, J. F. Daggs, Miss Joslin and Mir. and Mrs. B. B. Holdstadt. When the safe was opened he only mo- tfced that it contained several papers and books. He did not take any no- tice of the character of them, his con tract having been completed, but he said the bunch" meaning thereby his associates in this perfectly proper burglarious enterprise, swarmed about

BILLIARD REPLIES TO
 TUCSON AUTO KICKERS
SHOWS THAT GRIEVANCES ARE
 UNFoUNDED.
The "Star" Says Tucson Motorists Were Dissatisfied with Their Reccp- ton in Phoenix Fair Week.

In reply to a story printed in the Tucson Star to the effect that the mo- torists who took part in the Tucson Phoenix run during fair week did not receive due consideration at the hands of the fair commission and of the Maricopa County Automobile club, G. P. Bullard yesterday sent long letter to J. Knox Corbett, ore of the en- trants, defending the club.
 The points of grievance, said to have emanated from two of the contestants in the race. were that they had not re- ceived souvenirs, as they had been promised; that no one from Tucson had been invitr@.o % speak at the ban quet following the race: and that a section of the grand stand had not been reserved for their use, as they had been led to believe it would be.
 In part, MT. Bullard's letter reads as follows:
 In reply to the article in the Tucson Star, I desire to state that when in Tucson I promised the Automobile club there the following: 1. That every person participating in the race who arrived in Phoenix would be present. ed with a souvenir. 2. That every owner of every car would be presented with a ticket to the banquet 3. That no speed limit would be observed against any Tucson owner while in Phoenix. 1. That no Tucson owner would be obliged to take out any license tax number while present at the fair in Phoenix. Every one of these promises I have carried out.
 It was impossible for the fair com mission to order the cups which should be souvenirs until the Tucson run was completed for the reason that they did not know the number that would par ticipate. Two days ago four very handsome cups were ordered from Chi cago and will probably be here within ten days. which will be sent to the other four participants who partici- pated in the race from Tucson to Phoenix. None of the Tucson cars were charged any license fee while present Every owner of every Tue son car that participated was given a ticket to the banquet. l never made any promise that the people from Tue son could be admitted to the fair free, because it was not in my power to do so, and they and the Los Angeles peo- pie alike paid to get into the fair grounds.

p. H. Greer SCOFCheS Over
 Roosevelt Course THE ROUND TRIP IN s:37
A Mitchell Runabout With Three Passengers Cuts Down the Time Between Phoenix and the Big Dam--- Greer Will Defend Record.

The round trip record to Roosevelt by automobile was smashed into lit tie bits by P. H. Greer, who drove his four cylinder 20-h.p. Mitchell runa- bout over the route in the time of hours and 37 minutes yesterday
 In the runabout, which is designed for two passengers instead of three, were Dale Carleton of Los Angeles and R. L. Greer. P. H. Greer of the Greer Robbins company of Los An geles, who handle the mitchell car, geles. who are agents for the Mitch ell car, drove. MT Greer offers to bet SlO0.00 that no car sold at the same price as the Mitch ell unabOut can make the trip from the Hotel Adams to Roosevelt and back in less time than the record he established. The price of the Mitchell is S1200.
 The party were signed out of the Hotel Adams yesterday morning at 6.32 by NJ B. Mosely Clark, the night clerk. When they started they had no idea of going after a record as with three in the car it was thought the handicap was too great. Tempe
 
 in 4S. They were signed in at RoOse- welt at 10:4S am. by Engineer C. w. Smith and w s. Percy. a newspaper correspondent. The time consumed to Roosevelt was hours and 16 min utes. From Mesa it was hours and 2S minutes. The party were signed out of Roosevelt at 1:5S pm. by J. L. Clemens. arriving at The Republican office at 6:19 pm, where they were signed by L. w. Coombs The re- turn trip was made in hours and 21 minutes.
 While there are several who lay claim to the one way record, Super vising Engineer L. C. Hill said last night that he knew of none who had approached the time made by Greer for the round trip. Mir. Hill has himself made the trip one way in five hours and he knows the road thoroughly.
 None of the party had ever been over the road before. In speaking of the trip MT. Greer said:
 We passed about twenty five teams on the way up and the same num- Der coming back Of course We were delayed by them and had to wait in the sidings for them to pass, but that is a part of the fame, and a race oyer this road, which in my estima- tfSn is one of the finest motor courses fin the country, would fill the adven- turOus spirit with joy. The chances of dropping over q precipice would make it most interesting. I have just come from a 600-mile trip through California and with the single pYceD- tion of the Yosemite, think this the most beautiful motor trip in America"
 MT Carleton, who was one of the last to make the trip through the Yosemite before it was closed to mot Orists. added his praise to the beauty of the course. There is nothing like it except the Grand Canyon" he said.
 The only mishap on the trip was a puncture. It required about F min utes for the insertion of an inner
Arizona republican., 1908-11-20

tube and pumping it up. No tools were applied to the car on the entire trip, though the brakes were tight ened after leaving Roosevelt As a suggestion to other autoists who con template the trip, Mir. Greer advises a large supply of gasoline, oil and water. Gasoline is 60 cents a gallon at Roosevelt and water can be ob- tained at but two places.
 In regard to future records over the course he said: The fastest time any car will ever make the trip will be in 3 hours and 30 minutes as long as there are teams in the way. And then he will have to be spe- cially equipped and thoroughly used to mountain driving"
