Protect the range and offer to the
homebuilder every inducement pos
sible 10 build up the country and
make it productive" said well
known cattleman who was in the
city yesterday. with a grievance over
conditions prevailing in land exac-
lions. both state and federal.
This observing citizen stated that
every inducement should be made to
The homesteader to locate. and he
would suggest that the incoming leg
stature has a responsible duty to face
in disposing OF its university and
school lands to such persons. He
would discountenance, however, the
selling OF these lands in large lots
Of a section each, but would endorse
the same laws as the federal govern
ment outlines, toward those who de-
sire to locate and make homes.
So far as the forest reserve is to
DC regarded, the same authority says
it is a well known and palpable fact
that the migratory sheep interests
are freely extended favors. as against
those OF bona fdc intentions to 10

drives scour the country, at will.
while the one who desires to locate
thereon. is watched like hawk after
its prey. and passes through series
OF burdensome restrictions before he

ARIZONANS ARE BOT
TIED UP ABROAD
(From Fridays Daily


Nicholas Blazina, and Austrian and
Jos. Becchetti. a naturalized Italian,
are grieving over their misfortune
in going abroad to visit with rela-
tives.
Both left Humboldt some time ago
and it will probably be some time be-
fore they will be able to return to
country that is not burdened with
war. Blazina got his feet on Aus
trian soil just in time to be enrolled
in the army OF his country. He didn't
go home to fight, and accordingly at
the first opportunity he deserted the
service, reaching France where he is
marooned. His brother, H. Blazina,
of Humboldt. is exerting every effort
at this end to secure his release, but
the bottling up process seems to have
the cork tightly wedged, and Nick
remains abroad.
Becchetti's case is different He is
held in Italy, although he IS an
American citizen, and has papers so
to show on his person. He is not
permitted to even write a letter His
friends in the United States are ready
to take action in his behalf through
the state department at Washington.
The many Austrians in this section
are appreciative of living in the
United States. and refuse to go home
to fight for the homeland, although
they are badly wanted. Instead they
are rushing to the courts to secure
their first naturalization papers, and
this sentiment accounts for the many
who are making applications to get
alder the folds of Old Glory at the
earliest date possible.

KAISER'S HAIR TURNED
WHITE BY THE WAR
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Paar. who have
charge of the Head fotel. the latter
the daughter OF 4. J. Head, received
letter the other day from Mr..
Paar's mother in Cologne, Germany,
which contained many interesting I'M
published statements concerning the
European war. The writer stated
that since the war broke out the hair
OF Kaiser William has turned nearly
rs white as snow, and that he has
otherwise changed considerably as
the result OF extreme exertion and
evident worry
Mr.. and Mrs. Paar left Glasgow,
Scotland. their home, last August
just after the war broke out. They
are familiar with the situation as
perhaps none others in this part OF
the country, having been in London
England, and many other places on
the continent, and knowing first
hand OF the conditions and circum-
stances which led up 10 the struggle
which was in full sway when they
sailed for America.
Mrs. Paar said yesterday that they

newspapers regularly for the purpose
OF keeping posted as TO the progress
OF the contest, although American
newspapers contained even more
war news than papers published in
Europe, supposedly because the cen
sorship with reference to European
newspapers is more stringent than
it is with American papers, by reason
OF the danger that reports publi4hed
at home might result in more harm
to the movement OF troops and the
carrying out OF campaigns in the
field.
The latest news which has been
published in English papers and not
disseminated very extensively in this
country. is that the Irish people are
refusing to rally TO the British
standard as wa, expected when the
war broke out. being even in a state
of uprising. The Ulster trouble
seems to keep smouldering, and the
idea OF Lloyd George and Premier
Asquith that the war would settle
that trouble. at least until the dove
OF peace was able to alight on Euro
pean soil again. and at the same
time cement the Irish and English
people in one common bond oil
patriotic fervor against Germany. has
not worked out that way. according
to papers which Mrs. Paar ha, re-
ceived from the old world
Another thing which Mrs. Paar
says the American press is mistaken
about is the statement published
broadcast in this country no longer
ago than last Sunday to the effect
that treaty existed between Ger
many and Belgium in which the for.
iner stood bound to respect and help
maintain the neutrality OF Belgium
in the event OF war. She said thai
this treaty had expired one year
prior to the declaration OF war by
Germany against Russia, and that the
Kaiser was in no manner bound by
it at the time he commenced the Bel

twenty-five or thirty shots having
been fired. After Lopez had been
shot he fell. but the officers IN the
posse thought he might be feigning
death and were cautious about ap-
preaching the place where he laid.
Finally. however, Deputy Gates went
up to the PROSTATE form and found
that the Mexican was still alive but
in great pain. He took the gun OF
the dying man and asked him about
his folks and some other questions.
Lopez said to him. you killed me-

tried to kill me, didn't your" Lopez
replied. yes. but | did not kill you. +"
Afterward there was enough CONVEX
sation to convince the officer that he
was the man who killed the woman
near Clarkdale.
On the person OF the Mexican was
found ninety-eight dollars i'll money.
The horse he obtained when he shot
the Maricopa county deputy sheriff
he rode only short distance when
he abandoned it and proceeded on

by the owner.
Sheriff Keller returned home worn
and weary from the loss OF sleep
and exposure he encountered in keep
ing up the chase He said that he
and his helpers were on the trail ev-
cry night as long as they could see
and resumed the search as soon as
there was enough light TO give them
4 chance TO follow the trail. On the
sole OF one OF the shoes worn by
Lopez was peculiar mark which en-
abled the Indain trailers to follow
him definitely. Sheriff Keeler said
hat one Apache Indian trailer who
was on the lob was marvel. He
would trail the shoe print through
he grass where no other person
could distinguish mark at all and
.ravel faster on foot than the other
men could go on horseback. 1t was
this particular Indian who kept them
on the right track. and Mr.. Keeler
said that it was only matter of a
few hours when they would have
captured the Mexican had not the
Casa Grande officers taken him.
This case is only one OF the many
successful ones in which Keller has
been engaged during his term as
sheriff of Yavapai county. and when
he. leaves the sheriff's Office he will
have nothing to regret.
