A CHECK WRITER DOTS
 A THRIVING BUSINESS
This Time It Was p. O. Cox Who Re- Iieved the Congestion of Cash.

Another check writer has skinned Phoenix. His names is P. O. Cox and he was formerly in business at Con- gross Junction. He was quite well known to the businessmen of Phoenix and that made his operations a little easier. Just how many checks he suc- ceeded in disposing of here is un- known but three have been brought to the notice of the authorities. One of them was drawn for s200.
 In one case Cox bought a s30 suit of clothes and paid with a s10O check. He cashed one check over the bar of the Anheuser. All these checks had been drawn on a bank at Jerome where 1t was understood that Cox had formerly done banking business. The first one sent from here for collection brought back the information, "insuf- ficient funds" The reply letter also stated that the mails coming into Je- rome were laden with checks of Cox Where that facile writer now is not known.
 His business at Congress Junction involved the sale of the malt and spirituous liquors for much of which he had not paid. The Arizona Brew ing company is said to have decended upon him and attached everything in sight. It was then that Cox came to Phoenix and opened a checkwriting office. He had heard that kind of a business might be made to flourish here

How | Took Nv
 Wrinkles Out
After Massage, Creams and Beauty
 Doctors Had Failed.
By HARRIET META.

Trouble, worry and ill-health brought me deep lines and wrinkles I realized that they not only greatly marred my appearance and made me look older. but that they would greatly interfere with my sue cess. because a woman's success. eith- CT socially or financially, depends very largely on her appearance. The homely woman, with deep lines and furrows in her face. must fight an better looking sister.
 I, therefore, bought various brands of cold cream and skin food and mas saged my face with most constant regularity. hoping to regain my for mer appearance. But the wrinkles simply would not go. On the con- trary, they seemed to get deeper. Next went to a beauty specialist, who told me she could easily rid me of my wrinkles. I paid my money and took the treatment. Sometimes thought they got less, but after spending all the money I could afford for such treatment, found I still had my wrinkles. So I gave up in de- spair and concluded I must carry them to my grave. One day a friend of mine who was versed in chemistry made a suggestion. and this gave me a new idea. I immediately went to work making experiments and study ing everything I could get hold of on this subject. After several long months of almost numberiess trials and discouragements I finally discov-
 fol. A-t astounding results on my wrinkles in d single night. I was delighted be- yond expression. I tried my treat ment again, and, To and behold, my wrinkles were practically gone. A third treatment-three nights in all and I had no wrinkles and my face was as smooth as ever. I next of fered my treatment to some of my immediate friends, who used it with Surprising results, and have now de- cided to offer it to the public. Miss Gladys Desmond, of Pittsburg, Pa, writes that it made her wrinkles dis appear in one night. Mrs. M. w. Graves of Bridgeport, Conn.,. states: There is not a wrinkle left; my friends say I look twenty years younger. I consider your treatment a Godsend to womankind." Mrs. James Barss of Central City. S. D.. writes: The change is so great it seems more a work of magic I will send further particulars to any one who is interested, absolutely free of charge. use no cream, facial massage, face steamings or so-called skin foods; there is nothing to injure the skin. It  own and so simple that you can use it without the knowledge of your most intimate friends. You apply the treatment at night and go to bed In the morning. To! the wonderful trans formation. People often write to me, Tt sounds too good to be true" Well, the test will tell. If interested in my discovery. please address Harriett Meta, Suite 513D, Syracuse. N.

TAMAlf SAM BARRETT
 LOOKING 10 FREEDOM
A Movement Under Way to Secure His Release on Parole.

A letter was received at the office of the sheriff yesterday from Sam H. Barrett, better known as "Tamale Sam" who is doing an indetermi- nate sentence at Yuma, having been convicted of the burglary of the Richelieu saloon. The burglary was so thorough that the saloon was un- able to meet the raised liquor license ant went out of business.
 Barrett had been drinking. Nobody who knew him believed that he would have done such a thing if he had been sober. He would have been trusted as far as the average man. or little farther After the affair ceal his escapade, but, on the con- trary, advertised it on the morning of his departure from Phoenix to Prescott and after he had arrived at the latter place.
 He offered no defense when he was arrested and brought hack. It was known to a few at the time of lis indictment that there was a woman in the case; that Sam had actually stolen no money but had taken a couple of bottles of whisky. He did not enter the place for the purpose of stealing money, but the woman who accompanied him did and got away with about $500. Sam did not bring her into the case; he said it would do no good, and that she prob ably had a hard enough time, any how. He pleaded guilty to the bur

glary and the theft of the money l From the time of his arrival at the penitentiary he has been sending
 cheerful letters back to his friends here warning them in a serio- comic
 vein of the evils of strong drink and ! too great persistence in the tamale business, both of which may be car ried to excess.
 An effort is being made to secure his release on parole. He has been in prison for about fifteen months,
 and for the last ten months he has been, as he says, "in charge of the hog and chicken department" He , claims to have for sale lot of the
 most slightly hogs this side of Mis- souri, The white rocks which he has propagated are all blue ribbon chick ems.
 Sam writes that if there is any thing in good behavior, he ought to have a long lead toward freedom. No Chinese idol in a pawnshop." he
 says, was ever better behaved" But when he is free, he thinks the prison authorities will miss something, for he has the distinction of being the richest convict there and, beside, he is the only tamale man in captivity. But the loss of the prison authorities
 will be the gain of Phoenix. for the
 resonant voice of Tamale Sam will
 again be heard in the land.
 But he will not have to sell tamales for a livelihood any longer, for short ly after his commitment to the pris-
 on he received his share of two estates.

WOMAN WITH A GUN
 MSISTS AN ATTACHMENT
The Collection by Isaac Forney of a
 Grocery Bill at the Eleventh Hour.

While collecting a grocery bill, Isaac Forney, who is in business at Five Points, nearly lost his life yesterday. Among his customers was A. R. Keezer who lived ner the street car barns but was rapidly preparing to change his residence to Fl Paso. He owed Forney a bill of some proportions and when the latter learned of Keezers in tended migration he set out to collect it. He found that Keezer had moved the greater part of his houshold goods to the depot and armed with an attach ment and accompanied by Constable Murphy he went to the house of Keez- CT to see what was left.
 While Mir. Forney and the officer were rummaging the house and giving little attention to Mrs. KeeZer who was still there they encountered an inter ruption. It was Mrs. Keezer with a revolver. cooked and pointed directly at MT. Forney's head. What the wom- an might have done if she had been let alone is problematical. but she was not let alone. As soon as the visitors could recover their astonishment off, cer Murphy seized Mrs Keezers arm and turned the weapon in the direction that gave NIT. Forney greater peace of mind.
 The attachment was finally effected and later in the day Keezer who had stated to MT. Forney that the reason he did not pay his bill was because he had no money, came around and dis charged the bill and the heavy costs which always attend an attachment proceeding.

FAVORS THE CENTRAL SCHOOL
 SALE

To the Editor of The Republican. Sir:
 Anent the controversy over the sale of the Central school property, I as one who is interested in the schools I am moved to ask "Why should school district No l not sell the property pro- vided there is no legal obstruction? And in event there is a question of legal difficulty, why not determine the matter at once and have an under standing of the situation?" Let an injunction issue and thus secure the courts decision upon the point. What ever disposition is made of the property at this time, it will be some satisfaction to the district to know the character of the title it holds to the property.
Arizona republican., 1908-06-28

I am of the opinion that the pro- perty should be sold now and that $6O,OO0 is a fair price for 1t. The build ing Is old and out of date for school purposes. The light arrangement is poor, ventilation bad. the method of heating the worst possible and 1t is a veritable fire trap. Should the pro- perty be sold for s60,000 and an addi- tional bond issue of s40,000 be made, giving the district s1OQO00 to operate with, two good blocks could be bought, one to the east and one to the west of Center street, for approximately s12,O00 each. With the remaining $76,- 900 a modern one story school building could be erected on each block. provid- ing for proper light. ventilation and equipped with a modern heating plant. The buildings could be made architect urally attractive and in case of fire the Hives of the children would be safe guarded.
 The property should not be held merely to take advantage of increased valuation later The business of the district Is to provide the best possible facilities for school work in modern and sanitary buildings.
 II It seems to me the rejection of the offer and the issuance of bonds for $40, 900 for the attempted improvement of the present building, would be grave mistake. The evils of poor san itation, poor ventilation and heating and the danger attending fire would still prevail. and due to still greater crowding of the children, might even be increased.
 Suppose the sale be delayed five years and the district then gets s1OO,- 900 for the property. The bargain at that figure would be losing one. De- ducting the s4O.OO0 bonds paid to in1- prove the old structure, the net price would be the same as today. the two new blocks that would then be re- quired would probably cost s20.000 each instead of SI2,000 The district would be $16,000 worse off than by accepting II $60,000 now, or expressing 1t another way the property would have to be sold for s116,0O0 five years from now, to make the offer as flatterirg as the N s60,OOO now offered. In the meantime the district would have been using an antiquated and undesirable structure for five years whsl it might have had the advantage of modern and practic- | ally perfect school buildings.
 My children will be in school during the next few years and of course l would like them to be as well housed as possible. Those who will be person. | ally interested in the district five or more years from now will be just as well off financially and just as well pleased as they would be should the Central block not be sold. It should be borne in mind that available sites for future school use will advance in value in the same ratio that the Gen. tral property does, and as I have said. | it seems time the district will gain financially by the sale now at the fig ure named, and will gain even more in the consideration represented by the comfort. safety and health of the chill dren.
 i Finally I desire to state that l am not member of the syndicate making the offer to purchase. For financial reasons prefer to see the federal building erected either on the Y. NJ. c. A. ground or at the corner of Third and Washington streets.
