STRANGER TRIED
 \ SMOOTH GAME
But His Intended Victim Was Too
 Sharp for Him.

E It was only by the exercise of lit- tie good judgment. the other night, that Frank La Mont, the jeweler, saved himself from being made the victim of a check transaction that would have meant the loss of few dollars to him.
 |. A stranger entered his place of busi- ness last Saturday after banking hours and had his eyes tested for a pair of glasses The glasses had to be or- dered for him and the cost of them was $15. The stranger desired to pay for them by check. but he wanted to give the check for s more than that amount and take the difference in cash. MT. La Mont declined to enter into this sort of deal and the man finally gave check for s15 on the Farmers and Merchants bank, left orders to have the glasses sent to him in care of a Mesa bank and left the store. Mir La Mont did not think much of the incident at the time. but on Monday when he presented the check at the bank. he learned that no one by the name of Chas. B. Linville had an account there. That was the name the Stranger signed to the check The other bank knew nothing af such party. and by telephoning to Mesa, Mir. La Mont learned that no one by that name was known there. As it is, Mr. La Mont is out nothing by the transaction. as he had not yet ordered the glasses.
 Linville stated that he was recla- nation employe. working between Mesa and Roosevelt He was q rather heavy set man and fairly well dressed. He appeared perfectly sober and the only solution of the problem is that he was playing a game. which if it worked would put him 8 to the good. Fortunately for the jeweler. it did not work.

MEXICAN USED KlIFE
 WITH IELLMG EFFECT
LYNN MARTIN SUFFERED TWO
 PAINFUL WOUNDS.
He Took a Shot at the Mexican in
 Return, But Missed His Mark.

There was considerable excitement here Monday evening 8, little after six o'clock. accustomed by the cutting up of Lynn Martin by a Mexican and the subsequent shooting up of the
 Mexican by Martin. The sum. and substance of the whole episode is. that
 Martin suffered two rather severe wounds. while the Mexican escaped
 by quite a margin.
 l, Just what led up to the trouble can not be definitely stated at this writ ing. the details will probably not be
 known until the matter is threshed out in court. The nreliminary hear ing of the. Mexican. will probably be
 held sometime today. though just what action would be taken in the matter was not known yesterday afternoon.
 It was expected that the assistant district attorney would be in Tempe last evening to advise Justice Carr what steps to take in>the case. So far as can be learned, the Mexi- can, Miguel Vega by name. was more
 or less under the influence of liquor and was standing on the sidewalk near the postoffice when Martin and
 one or two others passed by. Just how the scrap started there is not known positively. There was scuf- file and the Mexican pulled a knife. Before Martin could ward off a thrust of it. he had suffered a rather severe scalp wound and a second jab caught him on the check Martin pulled q gun during the struggle but dropped it on the walk He finally edged back far enough to pick it up again and got one shot at the Mexican without doing any damage. Vega thereupon fled, and Martin was hurried to the office. of a physician, where his
 wounds were stitched up and he was given other necessary medical atten- ton.
 Later in the evening he was taken to his home southeast of town. It is not thought that his injpries will re- suit seriously. though. they will be
 painful for time.
 As soon as possible after the inci- dent, Acting Marshal Britton and sev- eral others took up the trail of Vega. A diligent search was made during the evening, but without result. Yes terday morning. however. at an early hour, he showed up in town and was
 placed under arrest and lodged in jail.
 where he is' still being rheldI pending
 some disposition. of, his, case today According to report. Vega is troubled with epileptic fits. but whether this condition will have any bearing on
 the disposition of the ease remains to
 be seen a.ar

ANNUAL MEETING OF
 TP. $ E. ASSOCIATION
The Old Officers Were Re. Elected By
 Reclamation.


 At the annual meeting of the Tempe Poultry & Egg association the old officers were elected by exclamation, as follows: L. H. Smith. president; O, C. Watson. vice president: C. w. Alexander, secretary. and Howard Cole treasurer. The books were all business in first-class shape, with no outside standing indebtedness of any kind and money in the treasury.
 The members received more for their eggs on an average than. they ever have before. and received it in cash at the end of the month, where heretofore they have had to take a part at least in trade and never knew when they went to town whether their eggs would be wanted or not. Now that is all changed, and the eggs are all taken in at regular in- tervals and all delivered at headquar- ters of the association and from there sent out to the various customers throughout the territory. At the end of the month a balance is struck, and each member is paid off at the aver age rate that the eggs sold for the month. sl.
 As matter of protection to the members, it was decided not to ac- cept any more new members until the rush in the egg season was over The association has absolutely guar anteed every egg since it was in- augurated over a year ago. and all the customers have been thoroughly satisfied. It now has standing orders for more eggs than it is able to fur nish. During the last year eleven members were added to the member ship, and as soon as the books are thrown open this season the mem bership will be further increased. The business doubled last year and it is expected that it will more than double again this year. The association has made arrangements to have several thousand young chicks shipped in from California each fall and spring and distributed among the members.

The Cost of Carelessness

Neglect of common" cold is so often the direct cause of dangerous disease. that medical men cannot un- derstand why so many people allow a cold. with its attendant cough, to run it's course unchecked. Aside from the unpleasantness and annoyance. the re- sulting irritation of the mucous mem brane in the throat. lungs and bron- chial organs leaves them sore and very susceptible to attack.
 With the first indication of cold, take steps to check it at one. A simple. inexpensive remedy can be pre- pared at home by mixing two ounces of Glycerine, a half-ounce of Virgin oil of Pine compound pure and eight ounces of pure Whisky. You can buy these in any good drug store and easily mix them in a large bottle. It is claimed by the Leach Chemical Co., of Cincinnati, who prepare the genuine Virgin oil of Pine compound pure, that a teaspoonful of this mixture, four times a day. will break a cold in twenty four hours and cure any cough that is curable.

Some kind stranger returning from California the other morning handed Robert .Gilland an orange. saying:
 Hand this to The Republican report CT; tell him to eat it; compare it with the. Arizona oranges and then write a story about it. The instruc- tions were complied with, and while the orange was fairly good one, it must be said in all justice that it lacks a good deal of coming up to the standard of the Arizona product.

Fl. DODGE GETS CONCRETE.
Lets Contract For Twenty -One Block
of Concrete PAVING,

FIT Dodge is to have twenty one
blocks of concrete paving, contract
having been let Tuesday evening at
s1s2 per square yard But this price
Is deceptive on it's face from the fact
that the curbing is included in the
price per yard for paving and is not
priced separately as is done in most
paving work The wearing surface, too,
Is made two inches thick whereas In
the Marshalltown and Fond du Lac
specifications the top course is only one
and one half inches thick. For the sake
Of comparison the Fl Dodge price Is
approximately the equivalent of s1.bO
per square yard but Fl. Dodge seems
to have had only two bids and the
newspapers there have been made to
believe that their price is low because
"a contract was awarded at Marshall
town Monday for work of similar ma
ture at s1.6s per square yard"
The Chronicle says that the work
will connect Reynolds and Olson
parks with a handsome boulevard and
when completed it is expected the drive
will become one Of the most popular
in the city"
