Famous Painting Stolen in
1911 Recovered From
Thief in Italy
WORLD WIDE SEARCH
FOLLOWED THEFT
is Priceless; Many
Millions of Dollars
Offered in Vain

Florence, Italy, Dec. 12.-Leonardo
da Vincis masterpiece Mona Lisa,
the mysterious disappearance OF
which from the Louvre in August
1911, threw the art world into con
sternation, was found today in Flor
ence. The man who stole it was ar.
rested. He is an Italian.
Mona Lisa more properly known
as La Joconde, is one of the world S
most famous paintings and is regarded
as priceless. Leonardo da Vinci took
as his model for the picture Lisa Del
GiocOndo, a woman OF Florence. He
worked on the picture for four years
from 1900 to 1904. 1t was bought for
France by Francis l.
The value of the work can only be
imagined since all offers to buy it
were refused, among them one report
ed to have been made by the British
government of $5,000,000
Since the disappearance from the
Louvre of the picture, the search had
been world wide. 1t has been report
ed found In Germany, Russia, England,
Spain and even in the United States.
1t was widely believed in Paris
and throughout France that the picture
was not taken by thieves but rather by
some demented art lover, who wished
to be able always to gaze on it.
The famous painting had hung in
the place of honor in the Louvre in
a room which was supposed to be al
ways watched. 1t disappeared on the
morning of August %, 1911, and it's alb
sence from its accustomed place was
net noticed bysiys guardians until some
hours later At first, g quiet search
was made in every nook and corner Of
the museum and discreet questions
were asked of the hundreds of copyists
and photographers who daily crowd
the museum. The questioning was all
without result.
When the police authorities had
heen informed they Immediately or
dered the museum closed. A thorough
search by detectives followed They
found the empty frame lying on serv-
ants stairway in the museum building
but no trace Of the picture which it
had enclosed.
Telegraphic information of the dis
appearance was sent to every town in
France and to the police headquarters
of many nations. Ships were searched
as they left French ports and trains
as they crossed the frontier while
every package taken out of France and
looking anything like picture was
closely scanned. A great scandal was
aroused in France when it came to
light that the guardianship of the pub
lie galleries and museums was very
lax, and several high officials were dis
missed from their posts.
All the publicity and all the search
ing did not uncover clue to the
of the picture until to-
days dispatch from Florence stated
that it had been found.

HOMERS NON
 FROM COLTS
Well Attended and EIotly
 Contested Game Was Played at the Warren Park Grounds Sunday Afternoon

The Soccer football game on Sun day was wen by the Blsbee Homers the score being to O. The game commenced before a good attendance of spectators and was fought out in ding dong fashion during the first per iod, the only score up to half time being a goal by Joe Adams of the Homers, owing to very poor judgment of one of the Colts fulfbacks.
 When the second half commenced it looked as though the Colts would surely equalize the score, but their team was lamenta5g weak on the left wing, and center forward their only forwards worthy of note were Win Johnson and J. Rule The only score during the second half of the game, was a zeal for the Homers, scored by J. Adams, who was the star of the Homers forwards. Their halfbacks also played a splendid game. breaking up the attempts al combination of the Colts forwards. Ed Johnson was the Homers best full back 'au5 Mitchell was safe in goal.
 The Colts were best represented by Lancaster in goal. walt Duke and Walt Johnson at Jack playing 8 splendid game. I. Ashman was the pick of the half backs and Johnson and Rule their best forwards.
 Next Sundays game will be one oi the big events of the season, when Lowell United and the Knights of Co lumbus will meet for the first time this season. These teams ran neck tc neck for the championship, last year Lowell just annexing the champion ship after a grim struggle. So next Sundays game ought to prove a great attraction to the Soccer fans of the District.

INCREASED SALE OF
 CHEWING TOBACCO
Recent Reports Indicate That it is
 Steadily Growing in Favor

Recent increases in the sales of Spear Head. Q high grade chewing tobacco. are pointed out by tobacco experts as an indication that there is decidedly growing preference for plug tobacco. It is the general opinion in the tobacco trade that this is due to wider appreciation of the fact that tobacco is most satisfying when chewed. The manufacturers Of Spear Head are taking advantage of the present trend to bring this tobacco to the general attention Of tobacco users here.
 Local tobacco dealers have been supplied with limited number of gentlemen's large sized handkerchiefs and are giving one to each customer who purchases a ten cent cut of spear Eead. The hanGkerchiefs are going SO fast, say the dealers, that the sup ply is being rapidly depleted They advise patrons who desire one of these handkerchiefs to act quickly. And ex- rerienced tobacco users seem to be 9 unit in the opinion that Spear Head is very me. satisfying chewing to- bacco. The occasion. therefore, seems to be an all-sround bargin. n.--Adv.

Their Advertising Made the
 Sunday Review a Notable Success

Attention was called by it's readers yesterday to what they described as the excellent appearance of the special Thanksgiving edition of the Review. Bisbee, Lowell and Warren merchants contributed to the complimentary eX- pressions. Perhaps because of then modesty they did not call attention to the important fact that the success of last Sundays edition was due ia large part to the excellence of tne advertising. When the business in- terests of a community like Warren district reach a stage of development which finds expression in advertising that not only attracts but materially benefits the community, it is sure sign of progressiveness and prospeTi ty. Because of the enterprise and ui. todateness of it's advertisers. the Sun day Review won a position in the from ranks cf newspapers in the Southwest publishing Thanksgiving editions. The attractiveness of the pages illuminat cd with advertisements of successtGi tradesmen compared fayorabiy with those of metropolitan newspapers.

 Not one of the favorite stocks nov. ed up or down so much as a point. When five dreary hours of trading had come to an end, it was found that the total business was 57,300 shares.
 There has not been a day as dull since the blizzard in 1888, when trad ing on the exchange was practically closed. On March i2 of that year a total of 15,S00 was all that was re. corded.
 The best that could be said of to- days market was that the undertone was firm. At the start there was some irregularity, with evidence. of re newed heayiness among the metal stocks. but the small early losses were soon recovered, la most cases the leaders made fractional advances Holders of long stock derived some encouragement from the markets firm ness in the face Of diseouraging news,
