"OLD DAM

ternoon. 1t is a custom, the country
over, for a patrol wagon 20 receive the

old patrol wagon was known as "Old

The christening occurred at the b.

o'clock, local police officials acting
as god-fathers to the new truck. The
party came about as a result of a tel
egram sent to Chief OF Police Parker
from Hunts Station by the conductor
Oh No. train. which arrives in the
city at 2:40 p. m. The telegram re-
quested that officers be at the train
when it pulled into Mt. Vernon. The
new tTuck was trotted out and all pre-
pared for the celebration.
When the train rolled in, off stepped
the conductor with two men in tow,
very much under the influence of
liquor. He charged that their conduct
on the train had been very disorderly
and they had caused considerable an
noyance, particularly to women on the
train. Accordingly, they were walked
over to the patrol and placed aboard,
the first in giving his name of Dan to
it. The two were taken to Jail and
held for warrant. which will probably
be intoxication.

Death Of "Bobs" Fitting End Of
 Great Soldier
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl-

LONDON. Nov 15.-The death of Field Marshal Earl Roberts of Kanda har Pretoria and Waterford, which occurred last night at the headquarters of the British expeditionary force in France came suddenly after he had completed his mission. He motored to the British base camps, reviewed the Indian troops and conferred with lead ing officers. Field Marshal Sir John French, commanding the troops in France, telegraphed Lady Roberts: As he was called, it was a filter ending to the life of a great soldier that he should pass away in the midst of the troops he loved so well and within the sound of the guns"
 It is altogether likely, in view of the admiration in which "Bobs' was held, that state military funeral will be accorded the honored remains of the great soldier No soldier has ever served Great Britain and the empire since the days of Arthur Wellesley, the great Duke of Wellington, who has more appealed to popular fancy. We'll ington lies in St. Paurs cathedral with his great contemporary, Nelson.

DEMONSTRATION TRAIN LEAVES
 HERE TUESDAY
Annual Trip for Benefit of Agricultural Interes ts Starts North Tomorrow With Exhibits and Full Corps of Speakers

The demonstration train of the Agricultural Experiment Station at Tucson and the University of Ari- zona agricultural extension bureau which is run annually with the CO., operation of the railroads of the state will leave Phoenix Tuesday going north over the Santa Fe lines for the first stop at Holbrook The train this year contains six cars one of which through the courtesy of the railroads over which the train travels will be a combination diner and sleeper. This will add much to the efficiency of the work of the travelling professors who man the train.
 There will be many features on the train this year that have not been attempted before, not the least of which is a pumping plant actually pumping water with a sixteen horse power engine with water running over a weir, and the pump also operating a churn, and a sewing ma chine showing the application of la bor saving devices. This will be on the flat car.
 The first car will be given over to the agricultural and horticultural display, the second to farm imple- ments and labor saving devices, the third to live stock of which there will be cows, horses, hogs and poul- try. On the second car there will be a display of the various sorts of silos useable in this section.
 The addresses will be delivered by the professors of the university. Their subjects will be the following; $. F. Morse. soil improvement; G. w. Barnes, livestock and gardening; W. H. Lawrence, profitable garden ing: A. NJ. McOmie, dry farming; H. NJ. Bainer, Santa Fe agricultural de- monstrator, Pit Silos;' Dr. o. C. Bartlett, fighting insect pests and Mrs. G. w.
