recruits. Part way up the steps one of
them was just backing down into the

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
AMERICAS FIRST LAWYER.
BY A. w. MACY.

About 1641 Thomas Lechford
came over from England and set
up for the practice Of law In
Boston. He made a failure Of
it, partly for want Of clients, but
mainly because the governor
and masistr; es violently op.
posed him. i'''ey had no use
for lawyers, believing them.
selves perfectly competent to
handy all controversies that
might arise In the colony. The
Puritan fathers In England held
lawyers In adherence. John
Rogers, the famous Puritan
preacher Of London, spoke Of
"ths Incredible wlekedness Of
that profession, and their suIltl-
ness Of all manner Of sins which
the nation lies under" This b.
Ing the opinion Of the Puritan
leaders In England, no wonder
the brethren In Boston deter.
mined to exclude them. Up to
the time Of the Revolutionary
war lawyers were generally
looked upon In this country a.
unsulted to sooe society. Though
he failed In the legal profession,
lechford wrote q sood book,
which he called "Plaln Dealing:
Or, News from New England"

TUCSON MAKES
 BID FUR RAILROAD

TUCSON, Dec. 26.-On Saturday Tucson put in bid for another rail- road. Acting on the theory that you never know what is possible until it has been tried, John Metz, president of the Chamber of Commerce, called a special meeting, and sent the follow ing telegram: .,-
 "E. P. Ripley, president of the Santa Fe railroad, Chicago: The Tucson Chamber of Commerce, at a special meeting, authorized me to communi cate with you and to say that they would like meeting with you with a view of arranging right of way through our city, free of cost to your company, for continuation of the Santa Fe, Phoenix & Prescott to this city"

s. w. Huss, son of S. P. Huss, of the valley, was badly injured yester- day. in the lower valley, while engag- ed at work with hay baler. The mechanism of the bailer failed to work properly and one of the prongs of the hay fork swung loose and caught Huss in the fleshy part of the thigh, ripping great hole in his leg, and inflicting a dangerous wound.
 Dr. Clyner was telephoned for, and he made quick trip to the valley, where he found the boy and dressed the wound. He then brought the boy to his fathers home in his automobile where he left him. Dr. Clymer stated last night that the injury would not prove fatal,- but would confine the young man to his home for some time.

NIGHT REVEILERs. KILL TOWN MARSHAL AND
 POSSES PURSUE
WHILE OFFICER IS SPEAKING TO RIOTERS, ONE SHOOTS
 FROM BEHIND

SALT LAKE, Dec. 26.-William Mel son, aged 21, while serving his first night as city marshal of Midvale, was shot and almost instantly killed early today by jewellers celebrating Christ mas. The slayers are not yet cap tured.
 When four foreigners came out oi a Greek bakery they began firing re volvers. Nelson and another officer George Cartari, approached them from different directions. Nelson reached the jewellers first and ordered then to cease the disturbance, after he had fired one shot into the air to frighter them.
 While he was speaking, one crept up behind him and freed. The bullet entered the officers skull and he fel dead. The jewellers fled.

No MORE DEAD LETTER SALES

It has been the custom, for many years, for the Post Office Department to collect all the unclaimed packages from the Dead Letter Office and hold an auction. Different packages were listed in a printed book, and a brief description of the contents was given, then the auctioneer, without allowing examination, called for bids, and the person making the highest offer se- cured the mysterious package. Sales have always been we'll attended, and some of the purchases proved to be bargains, while others were a perfect hoax This year the merchants of Washington protested vigorously, and the matter was taken to the attorney general, who, after careful investi- gation, called the sale lottery, and it was declared off on the morning it was scheduled to occur. There were 35,000 packages listed.

 SMALLER SALARY

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 26.-Half a dszen local girls of prominence, led hy Mtss Chrystal LaChauce, have or sRnfzed the Five Thousand a Year Gtnh. which they believe will mean less hit-or>miss marriages in this city fn the future. The plan is that no Eamber of the club shall marry a nan who has less than $5,000 assured fe&rly income. Miss LaChauce, al though very young, has studied the marriage question for years, and her coAelusions are that marriage with "all love and no pay-check" is sad affair. She has interested many who entertain the same opinion, and a membership of score of pretty girls e in sight, she declares. The consti- tufton reads:
 ;sNo member of the club, unless it can be shown that she has been in lore with a man for net less than four years shall be allowed to wed a man sAo does not earn each and every ssar at least s5,OOO, of which such a certain apportionment shall be made tr the wife upon the agreement of hrsband and said wife Furthermore, t shall be the duty of every member of the club to warn other girls, non- menbers, against the policy of mar rFtng for love alone"
 s~ft's the only sensible plan," says Mss LaChaunee, to raise the stand ard of marriage and happiness to the byoper plane Love will never change. eeffsshness, which is stronger, can never be obliterated. The thing to d. then Is to mix a little money with iSve.
 s"TAere are thousands of $5O00-a-year wen. There are also thousands of ts, s,e60-a-year men who lack only the tsftiative to get into the former eaass."
