WOMEN WHO HAVE SIMULATED
 DICK TURPIN

Fired. apparently, by the romantic stories of highway robbers of the Dick Turpin and Claude DuVal type. a Mexican girl was recently caught in the state of Chihuahua trying to re- liove q wealthy planter of several thousand dollars on the "stand-aud- deliver" principle. Masked mounted and armed with a formidable revolver, she waylaid the planter. who. by q ruSc, succeeded in disarming her, and then discovered t. his amazemcnt that she was the lN-ycar old daughter of neishbor, 4 beautiful girl, who ulti- matcly confessed that she had been led into her remarkable cscapade by desire for adventure and excite mcnt after reading certain triIIius rnmauccs

 He then discovered that his oppon- cnt was one of the beauties of the ncighborhood. who. having learnt sword play and shooting. had decided to take to the road in order to obtain the money to pay her fashionable ex- travaganccs which her somewhat pc nurious husband denied her. To the credit of the highWaNman il must be said that he dissuadcd the petticoatcd robbcr from pursuing such q pcrilous calling. and saw that she reached home safely.
 In the history of this country, how ever there have been several in stances of women highwaymen who have met with almost as much sue cess as the redoubtabIe Dick Turpin and Claude DuVal. There was Moll "utpurso, for instance, Who

 Another highWayman NIon was MoH Jones, who also began her career of crime as an ordinary pickpocllet, and ultimately went on the road Her career, however. was short. for after committing several robberies she was captured and hanged at Tyburn when she was only g years of age.

 The funds for the construction Of this and other state highway bridges were provided hy an act of the leg i-Iature of 1909 There was a con test between the north and the south side for the location of the first bridge and at an election, the north side secured the Center street Goca- tion. But the people of the north side joined with their late opponents and secured from the board of con trol permission to use state highway funds for the construction of the Tempe bridge Under both the terri toriaI and the state administration, prison labor has been employed on the latter bridge.

With the completion of the Tempe bridge, round trips to the south side will be made possible, q great con vcnience to citizens, and providing a delightful itinerary to tourists who will thus be able to visit easily in teresting south side, which frequent ly the stage of the river at Tempe prevented and which even when the water was low was always unpleas- ant and difficult. The opening of the bridge will be marked by an in crease of the traffic between Phoenix and the towns of Tempe and Mesa. The new bridge adds also to the landscape and gives the town 1 mere business-like appearance.
 This structure will be completed at an estimated cost of $121000. It is of a type more ornate than the Center street bridge, though it lacks the latters appearance of masslve- ness. Its construction was begun two years ago last February; that ia, the soundings began to be made at that time though the actual work Of construction was not begun until April of that year.
