WESLEY AND JESSE
MARTIN ARRESTED
n. l.. Wilson President of Copper
field M. G. M. Company, Alleges
That Martins Broke Into Store
house at Mine and Took Supplies.

Wesley Martin, was arrested Mon
day noon by Deputy Sheriff E. H.
Todd OF San Bernardino juGt as he
crossed the Parker railroad bridge
from the Arizona side of the Colo
RADIO river to the California side, on
complaint of H. L. Wilson, president
of the Los Angeles Copperfield Min
ing & Milling company, charged with
larceny. He was Immediately taken
to Calzona, and from there accompan-
led the deputy sheriff to San Bernar-
dino
1t appears that the deputy sheriff
resorted to a trick to get Martin a
cross the river, claiming to parties on
that side that he wanted to see some
mining property belonging to Martin.
Martin was telephoned about the mat
ter and said he would be right over
and bring along some samples. When
he stepped from the bridge approach
ON the California side he was accost-
ed by the officer, who said that he
did not want to buy his mine, but
wanted him on a charge of larceny
His brother, Jesse Martin, is also a
joint defendant. According to re-
ports reaching Parker yesterday he
was arrested at Murietta Springs by
Sheriff Ralphs. Jesse Martin had
been spending some days at the
springs with his bride of a week, ON
their honeymoon.
H. L. Wilson, the complaining wit
ness, was in Parker Wednesday and
visited his camp in Whipple noun
tains. Upon returning to town he
stated that in checking UP his
supplies at the mine he found
that between $50 and SIS worth OF
supplies are missing, con3isting OF
powder, canned goods and some steel
The principal witnesses for the
state are William McGee, constable o,
Parker, John Roberts, George Owens
and a Mexican named Joe Flores. The
latter claims to have been with Jesse
Martin ON one occasion when it is
alleged he visited the mine. John
Roberts and George Owens it is AL
legged were eye witnesses when Wes-
ley Martin is said to have broken in
to the storehouse. The witnesses were
hidden ON a nearby hill and claim tC
have seen quantity of the stuff load
ed on the wagon. After arriving a
brennan the stuff is said to have
been cached, and part of it was Sc
cured to be used as evidence against
the accused men.
The arrest of the Martins caused
quite a sensation in Parker, where
both brothers own considerable real
estate and are reputed to be wealthy.
Wesley Martin returned from San
Bernardino Friday morning, having
been released on $25 cash BAIL The
preliminary hearing will be held with
in the next two or three weeks.

HELP in SIGHT
FOR ENTRYMEN
Senator Perkins Introduces Bill in
Congress in Behalf of Settlers In
the PaIo Verde and ChuckawaIIa
Valleys.

A recent Washington dispatch says
that in behalf of many who took up
desert land in the Palo Verde and
Chuckawalla valleys, Senator Perkins
has introduced bill reading as fol
lows:
mo desert land entry heretofore
made in good faith under the public
land laws for lands in townships five,
six, and seven, south. ranges seven
teen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty and
twenty-one, east, s. B. M, State of
California, shall be cancelled because
of failure on the part of the entrymen
to make any annual or final proof fal-
ling due upon any such entry prior to
May 1, 1913"
Continuing, the dispatch says:
MANY delays and disappointments
have befallen those who took up these
lands There was plan to dam the
Colorado to get water for irrigation
Congress was slow to grant permis-
sion to put in dam, and meantime
the claim holders were expected to
perform work in accordance with the
law for the reclamation of their lands.
Among others, r. S. Hainwaid of
San Francisco, wrote to Senator Per
kins explaining the difficulties beset-
ting the claimants and asking that
bill be passed by congress with
drawing the land from entry pending
proper investigation of conditions
and ascertaining through the proper
department of the government for
what, if any use, the land can he
reclaimed, and that during such per-
iod the requirments of an annual ex-
penditure of one dollar per acre by
the entryman be suspended
"The Interior department told Sen
ator Perkins that in it's opinion the
circumstances disclosed do not au-.
thorize or Justify it in promulgating
any order sqrspending the townships
in such manner as to relieve the en-
trymen from the requirments of
the law, nor does the department
deem it practical, or advisable, to
undertake the investigation suggest
ed, through the detail of an expert
from the Reclamation Service for the
reason that complete investigation
to determine the ultimate feasibility
Of any efficient scheme of reclama
ton for the lands would cover such
a broad field and require the examina
tion into such numerous details that
the expense to be incurred would be
unwarranted'
Neither would the department
recommend an investigation of the
lands as to agricultural possibilities,
believing that a dangerous precedent
would be established thereby 1t de-
clared that it would have to enforce
the laws requiring expenditure for
reclamation and cultivation until Con-
gress would suspend such laws and
believed that years time should be
given for entrymen, who have per
haps been deceived as to physical
and climatic conditions and who have
already been induced in some in
stances, to make large expenditures.
which will all be lost unless the lands
can be economically reclaimed and
are worth reclaiming.

TEDDY FAVORITE
IN CALIFORNIA
Strength of Ex-President Surprises
His Most Ardent Admirers-AppeaI
to Women Voters of Riverside
County.

BLYTHE, Cal, May $50 far
as California is concerned the
coming week will decide who. are
our favorite sons or rather our choice
of candidates at the election this fall.
The race between the republicans
has now reached the stage where
Taft and Roosevelt have practically
eliminated the other hopefuls.
Roosevelt has come forward the
past two weeks at a rate that sur
prises even his most ardent admirers,
and wherever the choice was left to
the people by primary elections, with
two exceptions he has won the day
by overwhelming majorities and can
now point to the results of the pop
lilar votes in Illinois, Pennsylvania,
Nebraska, Missouri, Oregon, and we
may as well add California to his
list for there is no doubt that he will
carry this state. Of course he has
carried q number of other states and
now is running neck and neck with
Taft.
Taft, ON the other hand, has car
ried New York and claims the dele
gates from that state, but they are
umnstructed, and most all his dele
gates are from states where the old
primary system is used, which is only
tool for political tricksters AS a
velt.
The democrats are also putting up
pretty race for delegates, having
three men in the field who are in the
running They are Clark, Wilson and
Harmon, but Clark and Wilson have
a shade the best of the going and
they are about stand off,.
From the trend of affairs recently
it appears, however, that the burden
of upholding the democratic platform
wks fall upon the shoulders of the
man from Missouri. Anyway he is
entitled to it for he has been a firm
supporter of democratic principals all
his life and his record as a democrat
is one to be proud Of
Let the republicans and democrat
alike, also socialists, turn out next
Tuesday and vote for their favorite
candidate, also the other matters that
come I'D at that time

HOW GRACE BENSON
BECAME FAMOUS FOR
THE BEAUTY OF HER
HANDS AND ARMS

Free Prescription That Can Be Pre-
pared At Home Without Expense.
Grace Benson, FAMOUS for the mar
velous beauty OF her hands and arms
in a recent interview, says: IF !
could tell every woman about the
prescription that has caused all this
talk about my hands and arms they
could every one of them make their
hands and arms just as beautiful as
mine. I am glad TO have the opportu-
nifty to give my receipt free to the
world. 1t will help every woman to inn
prove her personal appearance.
When / asked her IL she would al
low me to publish the prescription, she
quickly answered: Certainly, only too
glad to have you do it," Turning to a
desk, she wrote ii on a slip of paper
and handed 1t to me. Here 1t is: Go
to any drugstore, get an empty two
ounce bottle, also q one-ounce bottle
of Kulux Compound. Pour the entire
bottls OF KuIux into the two-ounce
bottle, add quarter OF an ounce of
witch hazel, then fill with water. APP
ply night and morning
She further said: This preecrip-
ton makes the skin transparent and
removes all defects, such as freckles,
tan, sun spots, roughness and ruddi-
ness. A single application works a
marvellous Transformation. Where low
collars are worn 1t can be applied to
the neck with equally as startling re-
suits. 1t is absolutely harmless, and
will positively not stimulate or pro-
duce a growth Of hair"
