BOSTON MAN IS
 CHARGED WITH INSANITY

HUMBOLDT, Ariz, July 27.-A man who calls himself J. W. Eng fish, and who says he is from BOs- ton, was today taken into custody by Deputy Sheriff Campbell. The charge was insanity. He was ob- served yesterday in Dewey, wander ing aimlessly around. He badly frightened several women and child ren by walking unannouneed into dwellings and making himself quite at home with the inmates. This morning he came to Humboldt, where he has been walking around, talking to himself and stopping strangers for a morning chat. His converse tion is so disjointed and irrational that nothing can be learned about him. The mania must be along re- igious lines, as his conversation is mostly about churches and church work. Deputy Campbell will take the man to Prescott tonight.
 MT. and Mrs. LeRoy Anderson and Mrs. Ed. Wright made an automo- bile trip to Humboldt today.
 A man named Phillip Mitts, who was hired by John Wilkins to drive his delivery wagon, is reported dy- ing this afternoon. The cause of his illness is attributed to drink.
 F. N. Draper, wife and children, were arrivals yesterday from New York. Mir Draper takes the place of Theodore Ginter with the Con solidated Arizona Smelling company.

Far from frowning on the popular pastime in his public parks, known as spooning, Father Kniekerbocker seems anxious to encourage it, and as a result he has just made twenty appointments to a new and hereto fore unheard of office, which for lack of a better name is called that of municipal protector of park spooners." Possibly Father Knieke-- boeker's soieitude in this case is due to the decreasing marriage rate as to anything else. At any rate it has been brought to his attention that would-be billing and eooing couples on the benches of the parks of the upper part of the city have of late had life made miserable for them by the hooting of small boys, and in some cases by the throwing of sticks and stones. Accordingly 8 score of discreet, elderly men, tender souled and rubber-soled, equipped with wueh diplomacy and lanterns globed with pale blue glass, have taken up their new and remarkable duties in five parks. These are, pri- marily, to see that love-making eou- ples are not pestered or disturbed by prankish lads. They are to be protected from annoyance, and the art of eourting is to be permitted 70 flourish as it should. With their blue lanterns, the watehmen are to patrol the parks, and when two turtle doves are discovered they are to be guarded. The watenmen have instructions to remain just without the zone of conversation, their backs toward the couple, and carefully move like crabs, sideways, in a circle around the sacred spot. As result of this benefeent protection, Father Kniekerboeker epeets to become a strong rival to Cupid in the matter of uniting loving hearts.
 
 which ever came to these shores ar rived here this week. In fact for a long time it has been believed that there were none of their kind left alive on the earth. This view has now however been proven to be wrong by the arrival of the five solenOdOns. A sOlenodon is an ami nal about as big as a house eat, though it's leg s are considerably shorter It has one tusk which it can move much as an elephant moves it's trunk, and is provided with teeth like those of a dog and a long tail. This curious animal is said to be the original ancestor of all rodents. The specimens of the supposedly extinct species were captured in the countries of Central America, where their sur vival was due to the absence of their greatest enemy-the snake. What ever their natural food may be, they have refused, since being captured, to eat anything but chicken, turkey or plain cabbage.

AUTOS DISPLAYED
At ELECTRIC SHOW
Pleasure and Commercial Ve-
hicIes Are on Exhibition
at the Coliseum

The electric show at the Coliseum
Is Of more than usual interest to the
public, for it contains a fun display
Of electric pleasure vehicles. This is
the first time in California that electric
automobiles have been displayed by
themselves. Not only is the pleasure
vehicle to be seen, but there are a
number Of trucks on exhibition.
One Of the most extensive exhibits is
that Of R. B. Daggett & Co. which is
displaying two Baker extension coupes.

BAKER ELECTRIC
SETS new MARK
Auto Travels More Than 200
Miles on One Charge of
Batteries

Great advancements are being made
in the electric vehicle. r. B. Daggett
& Co. has just received an official re-
port from the Baker electric factory
telling Of a new worlds record for
distance on one charge in an electric
pleasure vehicle. The report stated
that:
On August 90 a Baker electric
shaft driven Victoria, equipped
with 40 cells of A6 Edison battery,
was driven 2O1.6 miles at an aver
age speed of 12% miles per hour
through such streets and roads in
and about Cleveland as would be
met in the ordinary daily use of
a car.
This shows great advancement and
means much to those who have here
tofore been deferred from buying cleo
tries on account of the limited mileage
that they have been able TO make, but
1t seems now that distance is being
overcome and it viii not be surprising

unchanged and was not injured by
overcharging. Those who tried 1t were
delighted with the results. All but Edi-
son himself. Good as his battery was,
he saw where it could be improved, so
he did a very characteristic Edison
thing He ordered his first battery
withdrawn from the market, closed his
big factory, destroyed the machinery
and started steadily after that perfect
storage battery he saw ahead of him.
"An incident will give some idea of
the immense amount of patient study
and research required to improve an
already good battery. Edison made
5000 different experiments, without OBJ
tanning the results he wanted. A Wis
itor to whom this was told exclaimed,
Then all these experiments were prae-
tically wastedr Not at all,' said Mr.
Edison, L now know 5000 things not to
do That is the temper of the man
who has created this most wonderful
battery of nickel and steel and one
that bids fair to revolutionize the mo-
tive power OF the world.

DETROIT ELECTRIC
A SHOW IN ITSELF
Cars on Display at Coliseum
Have Attracted a Great
Deal of Attention

One of the most interesting exhibits
at the Pacific Coast electrical exposi-
ton now going on at the Coliseum in
this city is the display Of the Detroit
electric automobiles and Edison bat
teries made by the Reliance automobile
company, local agents. In the display
are shown three 1911 models, including
two passenger victoria. finished in
maroon and imported goatskin up
holstery; a. three passenger inside drive
coupe, upholstered in blue broadcloth
and satin, and four passenger
brougham, trimmed with imported Bed
ford cord of a light gray color. Both
the coupe and brougham are painted in
royal blue with genuine german silver
fittings, and for grace OF line and
beauty of finish represent the highest
type of the carriage builders art
The exhibit is attracting much atten-
tion, and the handsome little cars are
