The mystery of the brutal attack on
Mrs. George Staehle of SIS Gladys ave-

she slept in her bed by the side of her
12-year-old daughter Sunday night,
probably will be solved today when De

wounded woman at the Westlake nos

The physicians at the hospital yester-
day reported the woman to be slightly
improved, and are of the opinion that
she will be able to talk coherently
today
the Staehles, who was arrested Tues
day and locked up in the city jail on a
charge of suspicion, was questioned
closely by the detectives yesterday.
After being questioned more than an
hour she was again locked up in her
cell in the matron's department, and
the detectives say they learned nothing
from her that would throw any light on
the case.
Women Were Intimate
Mrs. Sims. according to the detec-
tives, is the wife of a miner who works
at Tonopah, New. They say she was an
intimate friend of Mrs. Staehle and that
hardly a day passed without her visit
ing Mrs. Staehle.
Although Mrs. Sims is in JAN II Is pc
lieved she is being held only as the I'M
portant witness in the case.
Mrs. Sims knows more about the
case than she cares to let us know,
said Murray, "but after I have had an
interview with Mrs. Staehle 1 believe
we can clear up matters and arrest the
person who committed the act"
Reuben Reed, who was arrested by
Patrolmen Browning and Bowe, is stu
being held in the city Jail, and although
the detectives have not questioned him
he will be detained pending further in
vestigations.

GODDESS OF JUSTICE
TO WORK AMID NOISE
STEAM HAMMERS SOON TO
BEGIN RACKET
Court House Officials Dread Conn.,
mencement of Steel Work on
the Hall of Records
Building

What the superior Judges and county
officers generally doing business in
the court house are going to do when
the sharp penetrating noise of half
score or more steam hammers begin
their clatter on the hall of records at
the south end of the county building
is a matter that is already being con-
sidered by some, especially those
nearest to the construction WORK
Heavy steel girders were hauled into
position for hoisting yesterday ana
the preparations indicate that the
hammers will be installed and begin
their rapid pounding within a few
days.
The court rooms located nearest the
work are those of Judge Houser and
Judge Moss. while on the two floors
below these rooms the county recorder
has his offices. 1t is in the latter OF
fees that the noise will cause the
greatest interference with work, for,
besides the nervous strain to which
the employees will be subjected, it will
be found almost impossible for the
comparers of records to do their work
in any degree satisfactorily.
In comparing the records these COM
parers read aloud the contents Of filed
documents which must be accurately
transferred to the pages Of the big
record books. A million words a day,
it was stated yesterday by Recorder
Logan, would be a small estimate for
this work.
May Work at Night
The work of the recorders Office Is
transacted in four large rooms, and
should it become necessary to secure
temporary quarters while the hall Of
records is being constructed, the task
of removing records and furnishings
would be formidable. If removal to
other quarters is not decided on, it is
possible the employees may be called
on to work in night shifts.
The difficulty of transacting legal
business in the various departments
of the superior court while steam ham
mers are at work was manifested re-
Gently during the construction work
on the new postoff1ce a block away.
On several occasions while this work
was in progress it was necessary to
temporarily suspend court proceed
ings on account of the noise, and it is
natural to suppose this trouble will
be greater in the erection of the rec
ords building, which will be located
only a few feet from the court house.

Why we Ought togo to Church.

In the good olden days the sunday
sermon was the intellectual treat of the
week, the main topic of conversation
from one Sabbath to another. That day
may be past. Books. magazines, daily
papers, entering every home, are
preaching sermons on the moral issues
of life every day of the year. Yet the
field of the pulpit is not pre-empted.
The Christian minister may still speak
with authority on the spiritual aspects
of truth. The pulpit platform. with all
the sacred surroundings Of the sanctu-
ary, rc-enfurccd, too, by the preachers
personality, can make an appeal to the
emotions, the imagination, the will
such as cannot come from the printed
page.
But aside from the sermon itself, be
II inspiring or otherwise, people ought

there ever arise a generation that for

OFFICIAL PAPER OF PHILLIPS COUNTY

Yuma county will have two fairs this
fall, one at wray and the other at Yu-

If Yuma county can make success
of two county fairs, how does it come
that Phillips county cannot have at
least one fair. There is no better way
to advertise county than by n good
county fair for it not only advertises
the products of the county but also the
business enterprise of the people in or
ganizing and conducting county fair
Our commercial club and real estate
men have been studying over plans for
advertising the county but, if they will
turn their attention to organizing a
good county fair, they will be able to
accomplish something worth while.

urcs Of the new tariff law that are fa-
vorable to Colorado industries
Colorado is interested in the beet su
gar industry and the new law places
ten per cent sd valorum duty on sugar
beets.

The Colorado dairy products bring a
yearly return of s27. 1000, 900 and the
tariff was not changed on these
Colorado markets about sl9, 900, 900
worth Of hay annually and the new tar
III retains the old rate Of s, per ton on
hay.
One of Colorado's new industries is
the making OF starch from potatoes.
The new tariff is l-2 cents pound on
potato starch and cent per pound for
starch made from other substances.
The Dingley tariff is retained on wool
Of which Colorado produces yearly ST.
300, 900 worth.
Hides were placed on the free list but
the tariff on leather and leather pro-
ducts was reduced.
A reduction is made in the rate on
printing paper.
On rough marble the rate was not
changed.
