EX.TREASURER STORM
DOOMED TO YUMA
Supreme Court Denies Rehear-
ing in Case of Yavapai
County Man,

PHOENIX, Nov. 16.-The last hope
of ]. P. Storm, the former treasurer
of Yavapei county, d'ed out yesterday
morning when the supreme court de-
MED a motion for a rehearing nf his
Ease. Storm is under a sentence OF
four years in the territorial prison
for the embezzlement of the county
funds committed to mis- charge he
vas sentenced about two years ago
but in the meantime he has been out
on bail in the sum of $1,000. There
is now nothing for him to do but to
don the prison clothes.
The crime with which he has been
charged was committed about five
years ago. One day Storm was found
in his office by his daughter, clumslIy
bound with wire, the vault door open
and the Office and the safe rifed OF ali

Suspicion began to form at once
but It did not take definite shape I'm

was a general unfolding of reveal

worse for Storm. Including the amount
alleged to have been stolen by the un-
known bandits, Storm was short IN
the neighborhood Of $4,000.
He was finally indicted and brought
to trial on a count charging him With
the embezziement of $1,000. The jury
disagreed and many thought that
would be the end Of the matter There
was a subsequent Irisl and a dis
agreement and the case came up the
second time.
In the meantime, Robert E Morn
son who was representing the business
men, had been employed to assist IN
the prosecution. ani two years ago
Mr.. Morrison was elected district at

COSTLY CLEANLINESS.
Water In eoIdfsld Sold For Cent and
a Half a Gallon.

We who can battle and splash about

hardly appreciate the Inconvenience
Of condition IN which each drop OF

Goldfield the two problems Of dust and

and through the streets, carrying
binding clouds Of dust A blow OF
some sort Is daily occurrence. The
fine white dust Sits into the houses
and covers everything. II IS a case OF

really having things quite clean.

Is an expensive luxury. Every pre-

the bath joke thrown In. The joke
runs like this In the early days OF the
camp, when baths cost 81, after the
man who had elected this luxury had
finished, as a matter Of economy the
water had to be put to some use, so
It was offered to second bather at
reduced price, 81, then again to a
third for 50 cents and to a fourth for
two bits" Following this came
