RefOrmatOry Ahead
OF Truant Children
Boys Were Caught in Act of Eating
Stolen Turkey.

On account of being caught in the
act of eating turkey which they had
stolen from the Mcqueen ranch and
had cooked over a camp fire. Leonard
Coplan and Conrad Webb were
brought before Justice Irwin yester-
day morning and were taken before
Judge Kent of the juvenile court yes
terday, with the recommendation Of
the local court that they be sent To
the reform school. The mother of the
Webb lad and the parents of Leonard
Coplan offered no objections to the
procedure. believing that the lads are
ncorrigibes and that more effective
training can be given them at the re-
formatory than on the streets of Mesa
However, while the boys have of
their own volition placed a stigma
upon their names, they are not bad
boys at heart. They have been in
court before and received their warn
ing. According to their parents, they
would not work, preferring to spend
their time on the streets. They were
sent to school, but would not GO and
no persuasion on the part of the
teachers could induce them to attend
With their idleness followed a ten
dency to do wrong After staying
away from school they began staying
away from home. Becoming hungry
they began committing larceny. which
finally resulted in their arrest. The
thefts We're committed not because
they wanted to steal something, but
because they wished to satisfy their
hunger This is not the first offense
Of the kind that has been charged tol
them. Others just as serious have
been reported to the officials, but be-
coming more experienced in their
work, they became holder, resulting in
detection.

the motive power was furnished by a
team Of horses, the same means of
locomotion being continued until the
destination, which is Phoenix, was
reached last night, completing a jour
ney commenced fifteen days ago at
Emporia. Kas.
J. j. Evans, a well known resident
Of Peoria, Arizona. who has a daugh-
ter teaching in the Phoenix schools
purchased a car last July at his old
home in Hartford Kas, and decided
that he would make the trip to Ari-
IONA overland. Accompanied by Ghis
brother, John Evans, who is a banker
of Emporia, and Warren Mush, who
is also engaged in the same profess
sion. and y. f. Mccormick as chauf-
feur. the journey was begun. The
rainy season was about to begin in
the Sunflower state. and exceedingly
good time was made until the party
reached Texas, one day the record be-
ing over 200 miles traversed.
Everything went well, without a
mishap or accident to mar the trip,
until a point about ten miles beyond
Florence, when the car refused to go.
A careful examination of the Intervals
revealed the startling fact that the
boxing in the rear wheel was broken,
and no tool carried by the ordinary
mechanician was sufficient to remedy
IT. By taking the register of miles
travelled at Red Rock and the Subse-
quent reading of the speedometer at
the point of breaking down, it was
calculated that the accident happened
ten miles out of Florence. At any
rate, Mr.. Mccormick, who figured
that he had at least two hours before
darkness should settle on the desert,
started out on fast walk for the
county seat of Pinal county. He esti-
mates that he walked twenty miles,
when he saw the lights of the city.
He followed a well travelled road I'M
til he saw more lights. However, by
continuing on the roadway he soon
perceived that he must either leave
the road or the lights. Finally he
determined to let the road take care
of itself and go for the lights. He
finally found himself in mud knee
deep, but was undaunted Suddenly
he came out of the sand onto a ce-

ment walk and. thanked the same God
that he has been in the habit of tell
ing his troubles to back in Kansas
that he had reached civilization. Con-
tinuing on up the walk in his be-
drabbled condition, he knocked loudly
on the front door, and soon had the
inmates of the house guessing what
he was. He lovingly placed himself
on the outside of four glasses Of
water when he began to ask for in
formation as to where he was. Sup
posing that he had reached the front
door of Florence, he asked for an
automobile. He was not the least
abashed by being informed that he
was in the vicinity Of Florence, but
in reality he was at the portals OF
the penitentiary. At any rate, he
asked the company of an official or
convict or any one who could direct
him to Florence. One of the officials
pointed out the town and directed Kim
to a corral, where he secured a team
and returned to the town again with
the car and the remainder of the
party early the next morning. on
account of the inferior facilities for
looking after the surgical needs of an
automobile in the Pinal county capt.
tai, the remainder of the party fin
ished the trip by rail. Mr.. Mccormick
consenting to make the entire trip
overland if he had to walk and pull
the car on the last lap.
The members of the party are sat
isfied with the journey, with the ex-
cepion of the last fifty miles, and are
not complaining of the car. One fea-
ture of the machine as it arrived
here Yesterday was that Kansas air

wheel The gentlemen, with the eX-
ception of ]. ]. Davis. the owner OF
the machine. will return to their
homes within the next ten days or

1t Will Be an Arid New Year S

If 1t Isn't

n LEA is made to the friends of L.
A. Bell, district freight and pas
senger agent of the Salt Lake
route, to assist him in opening his
nickel bank before the first of the new
year The institution was to have been
opened month ago, but failed be-
cause of lack of capital. Bell does
not know that this plea is being made
but 1t is done at the request of friends
who would hate to see him fail in his
endeavor to open this bank
1t might be we'll to explain that
Bells bank is a mechanical affair that
requires $40 in nickels before 1T can
be opened. He is not contemplating
opening an institution of larger pro-
portions. The bank became the prop
erty of Bell early in July, and he
promised at that time, when he de-
posted the first nickel, that the $40
would be rapidly collected, and that
he and representatives of the press
would promptly depreciate the capital
and surplus.
He failed miserably. He is not to
blame to any great extent, fowever.
The bank was placed on his desk near
to the telephone, but those who used
the phone failed to use the bank or
else their sight was affected Sew
eral times he forgot to place the bank
where it should have been. Now Is
the time to assist. The members of
the press and of the railroad frater-
nifty who have anticipated spending
the 200 nickels fear that il will be
opened after they have made resolu-
tions. as are usually made on New
Years day. At this writing the total
reads $3.50, and it is hoped that friends
of the Salt Lake route will come
through" before Saturday.

ANSWERS TO QUERIES

TOWN AND Subscriber, San Mateo
What is the difference between town and
city in the United States and in England:
Town is from the Anglo Saxon, "tun,
an inclosure, garden inclosed by a
hedge, or collection of houses in
closed by walls. It's customary usage
in England denotes a collection Of
houses or a hamlet, between a village
and a city. It's first use here was to
define the original or primary civil or
governmental organizations of the
early colonists of New England. The
word has become generic, comprehend
ing the several species of cities, bur-
roughs and common towns. A city
is a town incorporated, while town"
may include a city In New England
towns are the political units into which
the county is subdivided and which
answer politically to parishes in Eng
land. In most of the southern states
town" is used in broad sense so as
to include all collections of houses
from village to city.
BRIDE CAKE-N. w. City. What is the
origin of the bride cake7
1t is of Scandinavian origin. The
grooms mother in the days of long
ago met the newly married couple at
the door and broke cake of bread
