Odd Fellow building plans have
been delayed for another week upon
the request of contractors who desire
more time in which to prepare to pre-
sent their bids for the building of the

disorderly conduct, his wife alleging
drunkenness, noisiness and a couple

II done. His wife said he did that Of
his own free will and not of neces
sity. Bill said he never gets any

DRIVING AWAY EVIL
SPIRITS CAUSES FIRE
Candles Placed About Bed
of Sick Woman Are Up
SET, Starting Blaze

The mystery surrounding the des-

son and occupied by a Mexican fam
ily named Rodriguez early Sunday
morning. is explained. if a story that
was told a member of the fire depart
meut Is true.
Members of the department were
unable to obtain a credible story re-
garding the origin Of the fire and
this led 10 the suspicious that there
was something unusual about il and
since then an investigation has been
quietly carried on.
Candles are Overturned
The story is that there was a SICK
woman in the house and that lighted
candles were placed around her cot
to drive evil spirits away and that
during the subsequent services OF an
ancient Indian tribal ritual the can
dies we're knocked over and fired the
bed. from which the fire is believed
to have started. Unusual as the story
is members OF the department are
inclined to credit it in the absence OF
any other credible explanation.
When the department arrived at the
house Sunday morning the chief was
unable TO find anyone who knew any
thing regarding its origin and il was
only by hearsay that he learned who
had been occupying 1t.

GUM SHOE OFFICER
NOT A JOKE BUT REAL
Policemen Wear Rubber
Heels not for Stealth but
TO Prevent Tiredness

The "gum-shoe" officer. as comic
supplement character, does not exist
IN Bisbee, although every officer in
the city, city. precinct or county OH
Ger. wears rubber-heeled shoes. They
wear rubber heels not 10 aid them in
slipping up upon criminals but 20
make walking easier
Rubber heels are almost indispens'
able 10 a peace officer, said a county
officer yesterday Il have tried 10 40
my best without them but when
do / am tired and worn out when night
comes. That is the real reason that
officers wear rubber heels on their
shoes.
Il is doubtful II the 'gum-shoe
peace officer ever existed except IN
the Imagination of the humorist who
first coneoeted the joke OF the gum
shoe" detective successfully catchins
up with a desperate criminal by the
aid of rubber heels. The fact that
nearly all officers use rubber heels
led the humorist to a false conclusion
They are not an auxiliary TO the PTS
tol or the club but an auxiliary TO the
back
While peace officers declare that
rubber heels make walking easier and
their opinion is based on the use OF
them some scientists declare that they
are not only not beneficial but that theH
are positively injurious.
