 PatrOlling the country about Bis bee has been a snap for the cavalry men, and life at the little camp south of the country club has been one thing after another. including butter milk and vegetables from the ranch. There are only ten men in the War ren patrol. and with the exception of occasional rides along the interna- tional line. there has been little for them to do.
 Reports have been printed in bor- der papers to the effect that wholesale smuggling was occurring along the border south of Bisbee. but this has ,been emphatically denied. There is little of the border that is not pa trolled by soldiers, in addition to the customs guards.

Bearing in mind that it is leap year. what would you do if you re- ceiyed letter in your mornings mail. stating that young lady would call on Q very important matter. and re- questing on behalf of the young lady that she be given a brief interview? That question faced City Clerk Fitz- patrick yesterday morning when he received a letter with such a request
 In any other year the request might have Leen passed over, and regarded as merely business proposition, and is is probable that even in leap year it is nothing more than that, but come tO think of it, no more sui fragetic method Of obtaining an open ing could be employed. 1t would con tain all the elements of refined frame-ur.

THOMAS CASE
 REAL PROBLEM
Whether or Not Woman Is an lmpOsitOr Becomes More Unsettled
 Than Before
RECENT DEVELOPMENT

Was Mrs A. F. Thomas an impos- tor or was she a person deserving the confidence and charity of the peo- pls of Bisbee? This woman. with seven children, came 10 Bistee sev- eral weeks ago. and told a tale Of trouble that wrung the hearts of Bis ehe people and resulted in munia- cent aid being given the family. She reported that her husband had been kiled by bandits in Sonora, and that she and her seven children were forced by poverty 10 leave Mexico.
 The story of distress was printed in the los Angeles papers. and was seen by a justice O. the peace in small California town, WLO wrote the city marshal of Bisbee that the wom- aE had lived in that town. and several days b1fOre had lett fo. an Arizona point. He described the family min utely. giving the names of all the children. and the description fitted the family that came to Bisbee.
 The Fl Paso Heralds Douglas cor respondent sent a dispatch to his pa Der on March 25. giving an interview with one D. L. Bagby, who, it was stated, had just arrived from Mexi- co. Bagby was quoted by the Doug las correspondent as follows:
 All along the road to the border l heard tales Of violence done Ameri- cans. At HermOsillo a woman and seven children got on the train, bound for Bisbee. They were in awful shape, all the children baresooted and hareheaded. Although | did not know her name, she told me her husband had been shot by bandits She and her children had walked into Her mosillo, and a subscription was laised there to send them to the states"
 This man says that he saw the woman and seven children at Her mcsillo. The California justice of the peace says that they had not been in Mexico There are either two such families, or the Douglas correspond ent has put one over on the gullible paper.

He had been vaccinated several days before he was stricken and his case IS very mIld one and he is said 10 be already ca he road to recovery. All ether eases arc doing well, also and there have been no more suspected cases re- ported.
 Local and county health authorities do not believe there is any danger p' the Fl Paso meningitis cases spread ing to Bisoee or other Arizona points. The couny superintendent of health has written number of letters Ia reliable persons in Fl Paso for infor- nation on the meningitis situation there and the replies were such as 10 remove any fear that Arizona points were in any danger While the disease appears to be epidemic there in limited sense. 1t is not what physicians call a chain epidemic" there being no connection between the eight cases m that city.
 The schools have not been closed, as was reported by a Douglas news paper. and unless tie situation there gets worse they viii not be closed. Because the meningitis germ does nos thrive 'n high attitudes and where there is a maximum Of sunshine there Is little danger that the disease wi.l ever become generally epidemic in the southwestern portion of the west

AUTO|STS FIND
 TANGLED BODY
Starts for Mine with an Outlaw in His Team and Accident
 Is Result
IS KICKED TO DEATH

It was a horrible sight that met the Nogales road on Sunday after noon, short distance below the San Xavier mission. The mangled body of a man, lying face downward, was stretched across the road, the head lying in a pool of blackened blood. The body had been discovered ear Her by some Indians, who said that when they found the man he was yet alive, but expired soon after.
 A little later the body was identl- fed as that of Earl E. Johnson, aged about thirty-fiYe years, who had been employed to take a load of supplies to the Lincoln mining claim in the SieTritas. He left Tucson early in the morning His death, caused by being dragged and kicked by run away horses, must have occurred soon after one o'clock. for a couple of men who had passed that point at that hour said they saw nothing of the body or of a runaway team.
 An acquaintance of Johnson, J. E. Patterson, said that he had assisted Johnson in getting ready for the jour ney. One of the horses was a vicious animal. known as the outlaw Pat terson said that he had warned John son against the animal.
 The wagon was a light one with a leather dashboard, and it appears that Johnson fell against it, and that the leather was ripped from its iron frame, throwing the unfortunate driver against the heels O. the hOrs- es. Near the spot where he must have fallen was found the heel of a shoe. which had been kicked of, talk ing part of the sole with it. The rest of the shoe was found on the foot of the dead man.
 The calk of one of the horses shoes had been driven into Johnson's skull on the left side, a little below the crown. The upper lip was split and all the teeth except two or three had been knocked out.
 There were other wounds and bruis- es, but none of them except that on the top of the head would have been fatal Johnson must have been
