GENERAL UNREST NOTED
 ON ARIZONA LINE
U. s. Officials Kept Busy Queling Mu- nitions- SmugeIers; Two Cases
 Progressed Yesterday

A severe tension in internation- al matters is observable along the Arizona boundary, accord ing to the United States at tOrney's office, whence proceeds posi- tive information of certain smuggling enterprises, whereby results sundry captures of merchants in the forbidden cannon and rifle fodder. At the pres
 ent time, over two million rounds of
 rifle ammunition being held in large
 commercial depOts in the near border
 cities are making the situation more
 uncomfortable, provoking, as they do
 the indulgence of that strain of wick
 edness that prompts even the moralest
 of folks to break the laws of the land.
 G. Padres, captured in Douglas a few
 days ago on a charge of buying 4S0,-
 900 rounds of cartridges for shipment
 to Mexico in a coal car, was arraigned
 before a United States commissioner
 held to answer to the grand jury of the west Texas federal court and let go on $2500 bond. which he furnished.
 R. P. De Negres, implicated with the Phelps Dodge people and many others in an attempted infraction of the joint resolution prohibiting the shipment of munitions of war to Mexico yesterday crossed the border at Douglas and gave himself up to be examined before Com missioner Taylor at Bisbee He waived this examination when confronted by witnesses before the commissioner and gave the bond required and was freed l temporarily. His case will come up in l the Phoenix federal court this fall.
 So it's no wonder at the general dis | quiet along the line.

THE BOY WAS PAROLED.

Attention has been called to slight inaccuracy in the following appearing in The Republican yesterday morning:
 "The two young men found on the roof of Balke's Big CuriO Store the other evening by members of the night police force and Deputy Sheriff Perry were tried before Judge Phillips yester- day and were allowed to go under a suspended sentence One of them was found to be wearing a pair of stolen trousers and was alleged to have stolen a suit from the Hart theater.'
 There was only one boy concerned in the case it is stated and he pleaded guilty. Judge JohnstOne transferred the case of Judge Phillips of the juvc- nile court as the boy was not sixteen years of age and this was his first Offense J. w. Canning, chief proba tion officer investigated the case on an order from the court and he reported that the boy had a good reputation in the neighborhOOd in which he lived; that he had a stepmother who he said was a good mother to him and she stated that he was a good boy and had never given her any trouble. Upon this report and with the consent of MT HOSmer of the Hart Theater from ! whom the articles had been stolen | Judge Phillips paroled the boy to J. 1, w. Canning. probation officer.

But There Remains Much
Work Yet TO Do

The new cement walks on the

fine, now the next thing to do is
to get busy and clean off the
grounds. Get the rocks off the
surface of the earth and haul
them away. There is consider
able work to be done to make
things attractive and should by
all means be done before the
school opens, and that date is
only about six weeks off now.
We notice too that there are
two roads being made angling

being driven across and we be-

circle using a string one foot
longer. Dig out the dirt be-
