IN POLICE COURT

well" said Lord faber as he opened court yesterday, sxrom now on, I am going to stop hning drunks: see 1t is no use. Their wives come crying to me to beg them of. or worse still, pay the fines of the loa9ers with the money they have made with cir own hands. It's going to be 8 change, the roads in and about the city need development, and any man who can fight booze ought to be able to put up strong argument with a pick axe. Thirty days work is worth more to the city than few dollars in a fine, and I wish to go down to posterity as the man who made the roads perfect without cost to the city,
 Josh Mccullough. and Nose Bradford negroes, were first up, accused of be- ing drunk. Josh plead guilty, but Nose swore he was not drunk What did you go into the saloon for?' asked the judge, If you were not after liquor; did you want a valentine? Thir- ty days"
 A. Mailer, white. who was hawking balloons on the street Saturday. was accused of striking Joe Reeder, little lame boy He swore that he did not try to hurt the boy; he only wanted to catch him to find out who had been shooting pins into his balloons and destroying them. The court saw 50 in the case for the city, and got it.
 Morris Brown, who is really yellow, was up for bunging the eye of James Hudson, also a negro. Morris testified that the reason he had placed the ve- randa over Jims eye was because Jim had said a few words about his pred ecessors. The addition to Jims face cost Morris $5.
 E. E. Benbow was called but Cap tain Smith said the fine had been paid. That gets me-" said his honor. "I have heard that name called more than once. but I have never seen the man. What about himY
 Captain smith said E. E. only got full occasionally and always settled in the office before trial.
 Bud Brazely, a negro. announced on Dexter Avenue Friday night that he was the original bad man from Okla homa. A policeman heard him, and, fearing for the safety of the city took charge of the bad man. The public statement cost Bud a ten spot.

It had been planned to kidnap the groom and in pursuance of the idea the automobiles of the Phoenix com pany assembled at the church and with blast like Gabriel's horn, started aft CT the wedding party at the close of the ceremony. The chase was contin- ued for sometime and finally the groom was rounded up at the Hotel Adams where he did the right thing by the crowd. A couple of his friends volun- teered also to do the right thing, and while the glasses were tinllliug. the groom disappeared and with his bride made a successful coup and vanished Congratulations and best wishes are extended to MT. and Mrs. Bacon on life's voyage.

TORTURED AND BADLY BEATEN
 
DaStdrdly Outrage Commit
 ted in PinaI County
Aged Miner Bound, Blind folded, Robbed and Mall
 treated by Two Mexicans.

1 Kelvin, AriZ., Sept 15.-(Special)- - | James Martz, a man 70 years of age ! and a prOspector of the Kelvin mining district was bound. gagged and cruelty
 beaten by two thugs last night at his camp at Peg Leg Well, a few miles from Kelvin. The robbers are suspect ed to be two MeXicans who were in Kelvin Saturday and saw Martz load ing up his provisions at the Henness and Griffin Mercantile store.
 NIartz had returned to his camp after working all GaH Tuesday and had just ! finished washing his feet when he was suddenly seized by strong hands and 1 blindfolded. He had no time to see who had seized him as the assault was so sudden and it was getting dark The outlaws as soon as they bound Martz, who could offer but a very fee ble resistance, being a very old man. started into rummage the camp. While the robbers were busy Martz managed to work his hands loose and then re- moved the blindfold and ropes around his feet and started out for help; the robbers discovered his flight and start ed to pursue him, Martz being bare footed did not make much headway and after running into lot of cactus, etc, stopped for a few seconds and the robbers caught him. They were very mad and one struck him on the head and shoulder with the stock of a shot gun they stole.
 They immediately proceeded to tie Martz securely, a rope was put around his neck and his head drawn down and = v1,, wrists and his two arms drawn up his back just as far as possible and then securely fastened. MT. Martz suffered great agony in this awful position and to further add to the cruelty of it a can of water was brought and so set between his legs that he could in no way possible reaclI-1t. Martz had had no supper yet and was very hungry and to have that water within so easy reach but yet not be able to get it was the worst torture possible.
 The robbers demanded money, pis- tol and shotgun. and as Martz only had S7 and a shotgun they were much put out and beat him unmercifully Through all his suffering Martz put on a bold front and fooled them very cleverly. While being tied the second time AIartz by a simple twist of his wrist managed to secure some slack in the rope while it apparently was as tight as could be and as soon as they departed he managed to get a hand loose and with this hand unloosened the other ropes and made his way to Kelvin where he gave the alarm.
 Martz description was that there were two men. one tall and thin and the other fellow shorter and much stOuter They were both dark and he said they were MeXicans There are roads to Red Rock and Wooley by his camp and he says that they took the Wooley road. MartZ showed the effects of the beating and was much upset. The en- tire country is wrought up over the affair and the ruffians will be roughly handled if captured.

THE WAY OUT From Weakness to Power by Food
 Route.

Getting the right start for the days work often means the difference be- tween doing things in wholesome comfort, or dragging along half dead all day.
 There's more in the use of proper food than many people ever dream of-more's the pity.
 Three years ago I began working in a general store" writes a man. and between frequent deliveries and more frequent customers, I was kept on my feet from morning till night
 Indigestion had troubled me for some time. and in fact my slight breakfast was taken more from habit than appetite. At first this insuffi- cient diet was not noticed much. but at work it made me weak and hun gry long before noon.
 Yet a breakfast of rolls, fried foods and coffee meant headache. nausea and kindred discOmforts. Either way I was losing weight and strength, when one day a friend sug- gested that I try a 'Grape-Nuts breakfast
 50 I began with some stewed fruit, Grape Nuts and cream. a soft boiled egg, toast, and ai cup of Pos tum. By noon I was hungry but with a healthy, normal appetite. The weak languid feeling was not there.
 My head was clearer. nerves steadier than for months. Today my stomach is strong. my appetite nor mal, my bodily power splendid and head always clear.
