SOME EXCUSE FOR MULES
But Ranch Hand Had Poor Opinion of

Smith of Somerton, Yuma county.
Arizona, II was obliged to remain at
a primitive southern Arizona ranch

Moroccan CorruptIon.

Two main evils in Morocco are the
corruption of Moorish officials and the
degradation OF Moorish women. The
Moorish officials are inadequateIy paid
and are liable at any moment to- be
stripped and cast into prison at the
caprice OF their overload. The natural
result is that they make hay while the
sun shines, and by their "pickings"
provide against the evil days which
are almost certain to be In store for
them. Says a writer: Before they
take office they may be honest and
kindly men, but the knowledge that
they may at any moment fall victims
to a higher power. quickly corrupts
them, and they proceed to do as they
are likely to be done by. Each off,
cial preys on the one below him, but
while each. for short time at least.
enjoys power and prosperity, the poor
peasant is squeezed increasingly"

A NEW YORK ROBBERY

A New York dispatch of the
18th gives the following details of
strange occurance in the heart
of that city:
twenty-five thousand dollars in
currency was stolen from taxicab
in the heart of the financial dis
trict by the highwayman who
sprang into the vehicle and over
powered w. Smith and Frank
Wardewll, messengers of the East
river National bank. Both
messengers were seriously injured
and the robbers escaped with the
money-$l5,000 in SIS bills and
$40, 900 in 500 bills.
The currency was being trans
ported from the Produce Exchange
bank in the lower part of the
city.
The taxicab had proceeded up
Broadway without mishap when
for some reason the chauffeur
turned west on Rector street into
Church street, skirting the side
and rear of Trienity churchyard.
About midway of the old cemetery
three men sprang from the curb.
One jumped on the chauffeur's
seat; the other two got into the
vehicle.
The man on the seat pressed
revolver in his overccat pocket
against the side of the chauffer,
Gini Martini, and commanded INN
to drive swiftly on without making
any cutlery.
Inside the vehicle the two rob-
bers were belaboring the bank
messengers over the head. Smith,
one of the messengers, is 81 years
old, and was bleeding and almost
unconscious when the taxicab
reached Park place, few blocks
north. Wardwell was badly
beaten about the head, but not so
seriously hurt.
AT Park place the highwaymen
jumped from the taxicab bearing
the tin box which they had
wrested from the messengers and
which contained the currency. In
a flash they had sprung into a big
black automobile which seemed
to be awaiting their coming and
were quickly lost in the maze of
traffic.
Martini, the taxicab chauffer,
continued to run his machine until
he found policeman. He gave
the alarm and the two injured
messengers were taken to a police
station. Smiths condition was S 0
serious that he was removed to a
hospital. Wardwell's scalp was
badly lacerat,d, but because of his
youth he stood the fight we'll.
