Forfeits His Liberty.

Jesse Pierce, the slayer of Oscar
Button here about five years ago,
was not fully apprcciative of the
blessing of freedom. Though he was
sentenced to ten years for the kill
ing OF Button he was paroled about
a year ago. The parole was grant
ed for several reasons. One was
his record as a prisoner. another
was his reputation previous to the
killing OF Button and the other was
the responsibility of his family.
Before he had been at large long
complaint began to be made OF his
Maynard life. His residence in the
penitentiary had not improved his
morals. Not long ago he began cir
culating petition for a full pardon
but many who had been friendly to
him refused to sign il on account OF
the stories they had heard regarding
his conduct after his parole. He was
warned that he might be returned to
the prison.
Pierce came To town few days
ago from Globe where he had been
living the greater part OF the time
since his parole. Night before last a
telephone message was received at
the Office of the sheriff from Globe
requesting his arrest on the charge
OF having committed a felony the
nature Of which was not described
nor is it yet known.

A number of known rebels, some

Salazar in the attack on FL Tigre,

Mormon colonies and other points

questioned, stated that they had
come here for the purpose of secur-
ing employment, being tired of the
revolution and its hard knocks. 1t

are coming here for the purpose of
securing arms. ammunition and
much-needed information. For this

IL is an ironclad rule that no

Good Roads for Pima.

The board OF supervisors are
planning to do much road work this
winter both on the county roads and
upon the state highways. The pro-
gram they have mapped out will
keep men working all winter and
by spring Pima county roads will
be in first class condition.
IL is expected that work on the
state highways will begin about De-
cember and that county road work
will be pushed from now on until
IL is completed. The supervisors
will have $4,000 to spend on the
state highways in the county and
will have good sum for county
roads.
County prisoners are now being
worked on the county roads and IL
is the intention Of the supervisors
to keep the prisoners at work all
winter. Those who receive Jail
sentences this winter will earn their
board and keep by helping build
good roads,

Insists on Air Brakes.
There is lull in the negotiations
between the Phoenix Street Railway
company and the Arizona corpora
ton commission pending the decis-
ion of the street railway people
about the proposition of air brakes
FOR the cars.
The contention j. made that il will
be next TO impossible to- put air
brakes on the cars that are now
running and then the grades around
this country where the cars run
are not sufficient to demand air
brakes anyway. The corporation
commission however is strong in
the traces for the air brakes and
will insist on their being installed.
A further hearing has been called
for Friday afternoon when the mat
ter will be further gone into. In
the meantime the street railway
company is continuing its improve
ments on the present system.
State VS.. Federal Courts.
The county Of Maricopa and the

Pcnnell then took the check to

PERMENTER HELD
NOT GUILTY OF CRIME
Verdict Returned in Famous
Mississippi Murder Case
After Long Deliberati0n

Winona, Miss, August sl.-Swinton
Permenter was today acquitted of the
charge of numbering Miss jamie Sharpe,
near Rural Hill. two years ago in Win
ston county. The verdict was received
by the spectators without a demonstra-
ton. The jury had deliberated 16 hours
and 35 minutes. They were charged by
the court late yesterday afternoon. On
June n, 1910 Miss jamie Sharpe, daugh-
ter of wealthy planter residing in the
Rural Hill community disappeared from
her home Search resulted in the find
ing of her body the next day. 1t bore
evidences of brutal maltreatment. After
an investigation Swinton Permenter and
Alonzo Burchfield were held in connec-
ton with the murder. but Burehfield was
discharged from custody after a prelim-
mary hearing. Permenter stubbornly
maintained his innocence In custody and
his family in addition to lighting every
inch of legal ground at his first trial in
the Winston county circuit court, en-
gagged the services of private detectives
tc unearth evidence looking to the de-
lection of the murderer of Miss Sharpe.
Permenters first trial resulted in con-
vietion and he was sentenced to be
hanged. but the case was reversed by
the Mississippi supreme court and re-
manded for trial Benjamin Walker. a
detective, in the meanwhile. had caused
the arrest of one man who returned from
Texas without legal formality and sue
ceeded in proving innocence of any con-
nection with the murder. The detective
named Wakerswas some time ago shot
to death by unknown persons. Three
weeks ago Walter Permenter. a brother
OF the man acquitted. was killed He
had been prominently identified with the
detective in investigation of the murder.
Change of venue was granted and the
second trial of Permenter began about
two weeks ago and on August 10 the
jury secured.

lie came into the camp in February
1911, and was recognized from the first
as a case which might be relieved, but
could hardly be arrested. His people
we're in very poor circumstances and
therefore unable to provide proper care
for their own protection or for the
welfare of the patient. BY receiving
this young man, therefore, the asso-
citation has unquestionably preserved
the lives of many who would have been
brought In contact with him without
the defense of proper precaution. Dur
Ing the one and a half years he has
spent In the camp he has been made
moderately comfortable, in spite of the
encroachments of the disease. II is es-
timated that from every case unpro-

sons are infected. 1t Is almost an es~
tablished fact that the spread of tu-
berculosis Is from such advanced cases
as this. Therefore, It has been the JOY
of the nurses, physicians and the Of
ficers of the association to recognize
a very great service to the community
in this instance.
The funds paid to the association
arc not for charity but, by facts such
as here Indicated. are shown to be
nothing more than an Investment for
the protection of healthy persons.
When this idea gets into the public
mind the public officials will feel jus
tilted in an enlarged expenditure, Just
as they would make an outlay of
money for the protection of the pub
lie against an outbreak Of yellow fe-
YER or smallpox. These general facts
come to light and are driven home at
the sad moment in which we sorrow for
the death of this talented young man,
do was to provide a place where he
could die in peace.
The many friends who have been
Interested in Mr.. jerks Will learn with
gIadness that he passed away quietly
and with loving messages TO all his
associates and those who have helped
him His Christian courage was strong
at the last so that out from his death
there go voices, not only OF defeat,
but of triumph. which are worth the
thoughtful attention OF us all.
II Is one OF our chief satisfactions
In this work that the superintendent
at the camp is noble Christian
woman
Because OF the great growth of the
activities OF the association the med
zeal staff has called in the services OF
the following gentlemen. who have un-
dextaken the duties Of associate men,
