their quandary with regard to the ap

reached a decision in the matter of

to examine into the physical condition
of applicants for positions on the po

when indisposed, and certify to their
illness when enforced vacations are
required on that account. The per-
quisites are $500 a year.
Absolutely nothing can be wrung
from the board with regard to the

Chief Bunker is TO be retained, also
that Detective Cassidy is TO get it.

seriously considered. and possibly a
fourth, fifth and siXt, even someone
to be shipped in from outside. And

TAKE FISH CASE
TO HIGHER COURT
City Court Action Dismissed and EN-
beZzlement Affidavit Filed Be-
fore Judge Funk.

In order to obviate the necessity Of
two trials of the same case the
charge of embezzlement against Earl
Fish, former treasurer Of the local
Moose lodge, was dismissed in police
court and an affidavit was filed
against Fish in the circuit court by
Deputy Prosecutor Daniel Nye.
1t has been reported that Fish was
ready TO enter plea to the charge
but no information to this effect was
given the prosecutor and a date has
not been fixed for arraignment. Had
the evidence been presented in the
city court Fish would undoubtedly
have been bound over to the circuit
court and for this reason it was taken
to the higher court without further
delay.
Fish is charged with having alb
seconded with the funds of the lodge
late last summer. He was arrested
in Detroit recently and brought to
this city.

Hay RATES REDUCED.
Duncan Farmers Are On Equal Basis
With A. G. e. Points.

Mr.. r. K. Minson, Traffic Manager
of the A & N NJ. R. R., has been in
'strumental in securing a lower rate
on hay in carload lots from Duncan
to Bisbee, Douglas, Huachuca, and
other points and places the Duncan
farmers are on equal basis with ella
Valley points SO far as freight rates
are concerned. The following ietter
is self-explanatory:
Mr. c. F. Houlihan.
Supt. ella Valley Ranch Co.,
Duncan, Arizona.
This is to advise you that in line
with understanding reached with
farmers and merchants at confer
ence held at Duncan on Feb. 24th.
with reference to adjusting rates on
hay so that the Duncan hay could
get into the surrounding markets on
an equality with the hay from the
ella Valley points on the Arizona
Eastern Railway, on April 2Oth tine
rate from Duncan to Hach1ta on nay
in carloads was reduced to $500 per
ton; effective June 18th. l am glad
to state that the rate on hay in car
loads from Duncan and other shipping
points on this line to Bisbee, Douglas,
Fort Huachuca and Naco will be
S6.2S per ton, which is the same rate
as carried from the Arizona eastern
ella Valley Points to same destlna-
tions; FL Paso, $3.50 and to Demlns,
n. NJ, $500.
This reduction in rates should en-
able Duncan hay growers to dispose
of their crop in any of these markets
in competition with hay grown IN
other portions of Arizona, AMI on
equal terms, SO far as freight rates
are concerned
