Better One Good
Suit Than Two
Poor Ones

A Well-made Suit will not
only outlast one that is unrGfi-
able but it will keep it's shape
and retain it's style while you
wear it. IF you have had ex-
perience with the unreliable
kind then you know how true
this statement is. AS a mat
ter of economy strictly it is
cheaper by far to buy a Suit or
Overcoat Of known quality and
repute than to buy a Pig in
the Poke in the foolish hope
that you are practicing econ
omy. You must also be alert
for Clothes that are fat iron
faxed, that is, shaped by this
process instead of by hand
needle work as good clothes
are. We guarantee you are
getting honest Clothes when
you select a Kirschbaum Suit.

INSANITY REQUIRED
IN CASE Of M'GU|RLE

Tucson, April 30.-(SpeciaL) Aug
ust Mcclure, a rancher living near
Laguna, four or five miles north of
Tucson, was paroled from the asylum
for the insane at Phoenix a few days
ago, returned to Tucson, and today
again lost his reason. Becoming vio-
lent, he secured a rifle which he re-
peatedly threatened to use with dead
ly effect, and was chased nearly
three quarters of a mile by the Off
GERS, through a populous part of the
city, before he was taken into GUS
tody.
In front of the court house he adj
vanced upon former-S Sheriff Pacheco,
who some five or six months ago
took him to the asylum ana lVr
which it is supposed he cherished a
deadly hatred. He pointed the muZ-
zle of the rifle at Pacheco and hold
ing it but a few feet from the lat
ter's breast, warned him not to adj
vance or he would fire Then turn
ing he ran a hundred yards or so I'M
til he was again in close quarters
when the same thing occurred, this
being repeated several times. After
the fleeing man had gone half or
three quarters of a mile east he was
closed in upon by the officers and
citizens, overpOwered, disarmed and
will be sent back to the asylum at
Phoenix.

Lincoln, the reform senator from Lancaster
county.
The act does not abolish the home. II
leaves section 7, which creates It. but it
changes the other sections so that the
school is created and the whole manage
mont placed in the hands of a board ap-
pointed by the governor. instead OF a board
composed Of state officers elected by the
people. The matter has been turned over
to the attorney geenral with the request
that he find some way out of the hole.
In reply to an inquiry from the State
Railway commission regarding the pay
mont of demurrage charges, the attorney
general has held that demurrage charges
on an interstate shipment comes under the
jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce
commission. The commission has a case
wherein the charges were paid on an inter-
state shipment, bu. the shipper had not
paid the demurrage charges. hTe commits
sion desired to know II the demurr1ge
charges came under its jurisdiction. The
attorney general held it did not.

We, the undersigned tax payers of the city, being thoroughly
familiar with the situation and having the best interests of the
City at heart, would advise all voters to vote against the ~$6,500,00O
Water Bonds, as we do not think they should be voted before the
case is finally adjudicated in the Supreme Court of the United
States. The voting of the Bonds now would look like a surrender
and might have a serious influence against the Citys case.
