MAY TREsPlSS IN ENGLAND
II You Do No Damage II is Easy
to Wander Through PriVata
Property.

At this season it is pleasant to
leave the dusty highway and take to
the fields But many timid pedestrians
are frightened away by the notice
"Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted ."
AS the law stands. any trespasser
who does the smallest damage-in-
lures a fence breaks small branch.
etc.-can be summoned before mag
istrate and fined But If he does no
damage, the landlord must bring an
action al law and get an injunction.
This costs a lot Of money, and unless
the trespasser Is man OF means the
landlord won't bring his action al law.
All he can do otherwise is to ask you
to get out If you 60 peaceably you
can return an hour later. and repeat
the visit as often as you wish. Moth
ing can be done beyond asking you 10
leave again But If you resist. then
sufficient force can be used. and II
you show fight you may be legally
knocked down. your legs tied. and
yourself bundled on to tn road
The landlord may, however, play
some tricks on you He can saw u
bridge crossing a stream. SO that you
will get a ducking. he can dig pit
for you to fall into, and he can 80 fix
the stile you are likely to cross that
you will break 1t. and then he can
have you up before the magistrate.
II you don't commit any damage, how
ever. you can trespass to your hearts

Forty seven years continuous resi-

When Carey first came to Arizona

want of lucrative business forced him
into mining That was more than 70
years ago. but IT was not until last
spring that prosperity came. He re-
ceived the first payment on some min
ing claims that he had developed with
his own hands. and bought round

months this trail blazer gazed upon
