Might Make a Good
Soldier, But Thinks
Is Electric Dynamo

Because he said he was charged with
electricity, R. F. MeGinnis was lodged
III the county Jail Thursday afternoon.
Deputy sheriff Bill Crosby playing the
| role of a physician got the man to the
Jail
Thursday McGinnis called at the Fort
Bliss military hospital and said he want
ed to enlist in the army. The only thing
he said was wrong with him was that
he was charged with electricity. Aside
from that he believed he would make a
good soldier. He discussed the matter
of enlistment with the hospital authorl-
ties at some length. The authorities
,, 'phoned the sheriffs department, and
Bill Crosby with a lunacy warrant for
John Doe made the trip to Fort Bliss
in an automobile.
Owe haven't any crazy man" said the
deputy sheriff, walking into the waiting
room of the hospital.
1--WE haven't an yerazy man" said the
doctor in charge. ~Only man charged
with electricity"
"Yes, I am charged with electricity"
said the man for whom the John Doe
warrant had been issued.
"Oh, that's all right" said Crosby, tax
ing his cue. eve can fix that. We have
an instrument at the county hospital
that extracts electricity from the human
body without pain and while you wait.
"That is all 1 need, for with the cleo
tricity out of my system l want to en-
list in the army. That is the only draw
back at the present time.
Telling the hospital authorities that
he would return to enlist as soon as the
charge of electricity was extracted, the
man got into the automobile with Crosby
and the trip to the county jail started.
Chat looks awfullv like jail to me"
said the maan as the automobile stopped
at the county jail
TT has that appearance, said Crosby,
"but it really isn't. 1t is the hospital"
After some rersuasion the man was
taken inside and the door closed on him.
McGinnis claims to be from Oklahoma
City. Okla. He has only been here a
short time. His case will be invcsti-
gated by the county authorities.

Edgar T. Bracket. counsel for the

gard to the gift at the present time
rather than at the time the gift was

on the motion to strike the testimony
from the record
Did anybody communicate with you

Sulzer and discuss the matter of your
contribution" he was asked
Yes. Mr.. Frankenstein came to see
me and told me that if I would accent
it, governor Sulzer would be very glad
to refund to me the $500. to which I
replied that since the matter was un-
der investigation I could not now per

said no.

Red Mountain.

As the year has just drawn to a
close. it is fitting that we review the
progress and development of the Red
Mountain district.
September there was a movement
started to form new school dis
trict and establish permanent
school near Tonis siding. With
promise from the school trustees
that they would assist us in building
a creditable house next year if we
remained in the Deming district, we
contented ourselves f9r the time
with our quarters in the Ames Mar
tin home. The school is flourshing
with Miss Evans as teacher and thir-
teen pupils enrolled. Next year our
enrolment is expected to be doubled.
A literary society has been formed
which holds its bi-monthly meetings
at the school house. Friday even.
ing, January 10, a business meeting
will be held. Friday evening, Janu-
AIRY II, the regular meeting. The
editing and reading of q local news
paper" will be- the subject of a pa
per by Mrs. Jacobs and her able as.
sistant. Following this debate:
Resolved. That George Washington
deserves more credit for defending
America than Christopher Columbus
for discovering it," All are cordially
invited to attend these meetings.
The neighborhood has two church
es. the Presbyterian church and Sun
day school, which meets every sun
day afternoon at D. l.. Ponds resi-
dence, and the newly formed non
sectarian church which meets at the
school house.

IN this way. he says. the world would
OBTAIN almost instantaneous mitiga

primarily at Germany because the
greatest naval rivalry exists between
those two countries
lnasmuch as the agreement Church
in proposes would involve no altera-
ton in tine relative strength Of tho
worlds navies, it should appeal to al
countries And as the suggestion
comes from England which has the
greatest of nsyjcs, 1t should have
great weight.
