Reports emanating from Los Angeles stated that young Sayre was located in Ariyaca. Arivaca has no telephone communication with Tue son, but parties from that place state that they know of no such man there. A Harry Sayre resides in Tucson, bur he disclaims any knowledge of the Los Angeles woman, says he is not the son of a millionaire and knows nothing about the tragedy.
 Miss Priest. who is said to have been the finance of the millionaire s son. died on Christmas eve. Her mother instituted an investigation into the cause of her death, with the result that five physicians declared she had been poisoned.

No name was given and it is not known who the woman in the case is-

This was the largest nugget of the collection, but many of the others were as large as ordinary marbles. h all, the collection contained sev- eral hundred dollars of the vel low metal.
 Kavanaugh purchased the nuggets from Mexicans living near Troy. He was unable to state just where the metal was found, but it is believed tc have been banned out near the Drip ping Springs ranch.

VACATION CARE
OF BLACK SKIRT

The woman who goes away on a
vacation wearing black clothes has far
more trouble in keeping them clean
than do the women who wear colors.
Her black skirts get dusty, show
spots and look seedy because they
can't go 20 wash.
II might be wise for her to heed
the following suggestion which was
given by a cleaner and which takes
a little trouble, but the result is satis-

First brush the skirt carefully. See
that the whisk broom is thoroughly
cleaned afterward, or use another one
TO dip in a cup of strong coffee Go
which has been added one teaspoonful
of ammonia.
Before applying the whisk broom
shake il quite a little so it will not
wet the skirt too much. Then brush
the fabric quickly.
If spots remain. and they usually do
clean them with a small sponge dip
pend in ammonia, alcohol and water
in equal parts.
II is best not TO try this mixture OF

When the skirt is dry, cover tho spots

WHITE NEGLIGEES
MADE OF SWISS

Even the most fashionable dress-
makers lend their talents to the maxi
ing of most attractive negligees Of
white swiss, lace and ribbon This
wash fabric has come into more favor
for the kind OF garment one wears in
ones own room or for breakfast and
luncheon with the family alone. The
swiss is fine and has "a small dot, and
the negligee is usually made IN two
pieces, put together on one belt, which
is covered by a broad sash Of colored
satin.
This is often high-waisted at Back
and is finished at the left with a large
rosette and two long ends.
The neck is open. i'm N-shape, and
finished with deep lace rudies and a
bow of satin at the back
The tight elbow sleeves are finished
with deep lace ruhles and a bow OF
satin at the back.
Such negligees are cooler and fresher
than those of silk or other materials
that do not wash.
