VERY CORRECT STATEMENT

Advertising is business propo-
sition that pays for itself many times
over. The local newspaper does not
ask for charity when it asks for the
support of the advertiser 1t merely
asks for justice. The business man
who does not use the columns of the
newspaper is not getting as much
trade as his competitor who does,
but he is spending about the same
amount of money for other kinds of
advertising or he could not remain
in business at all. That is what the
newspaper resents-the squandering
OF advertising appropriations on non
productive schemes that are promo
ted as side-lines by persons in other
kinds of business and neglect of the
local press whose only business is
the dissemination of the happenings
Of the community and news OF the
offerings of the merchants. ts.-Tucson

A STRANGE SPECIMEN

L. Miskell Of Parker caught a very
peculiar srec:men of beetle in his
store one day this week, the likes OF
which has never been seen in these
parts before. This beetle, which is
about a naif inch in length, has six
legs and a pair of feelers, while its
back is covered with a hard shell
resembling in shape a Roman shield.
This shield is surrounded by an en-
bossed border Of gold, while length
wise across it run little corrugations,
alternating in green and gold color,
The color of the under portion of the
body is a light green. Just what its
habits are or what it subsists upon
are matters of conjecture. 1t is GER
tainly a very pretty specimen and
may be seen at Mr. Miskelps place.
If there is any such thing as a real
"gold-bug," this must be it.

SUIT FOR DAMAGES DECIDED

The case that has been on the SUI
perior court for the past few days
was brought to a close last week, the
jury giving the plaintiff Padgett four
hundred dollars. The argument be-
gan Tuesday evening and lasted until
after eleven o'clock. 1t appears that
Padgett, the palintiff, and Thielman
the defendant, became involved in a
land deal and as an outcome of it, a
free-foral was indulged in, with Mr.
Thielman the aggressor. AS Padgett
had but cne leg, he got the worst of
it and when Thielman had knocked
him down, he sat on him and beat
him up, causing Padgett to be injur-
jured. Padgett sued for $4,000, but
the jury gave him $4OO.
This case was the last one on the
calendar and concludes the spring
term of the superior court.-Sun.

ARRESTED WRONG PERSONS

A telegram was received by Justice
Collins last Sunday, from the sheriff
Of Maricopa county, requesting him
to cause the arrest of certain indi-
vidual and his wife who were want
ed by the officers Of the law, and
who were believed to be aboard the
train due for Parker that night In
the absence of Constable Clayton, the
Justice boarded the train and arrest
ed a man and his wife whom he
found there, despite the mans pro
tests. The couple were placed in the
branch county jail that night but
upon their subsequently showing that
they were not the parties wanted,
were released. The man arrested
was named DutJOn, cartoOnist on
the "Out West" magazine This was
an incident of 'out west" that may
be an inspiration for a caricature
relative to the >"Out West" man who
was "outwested.'

NOT IN CONTEMPT

On the ground that the sheriff's re-
turn did not warrant his being held
in custody, Judge Cunningham OF the
supreme court last week discharged
the case against Fred L. Ingraham,
county attorney of Yuma county, who
was being held on a charge OF con-
tempt of court. The case was brought
before tie supreme court on writ
Of habeas corpus, charging that In
graham had been deprived OF his
liberty and not given proper hear
ing.
Ingranam was arrested on July 10
or account of difficulties arising out
CT certain statements made by him
during the trial of NuneZ and Ed
wards, two Indians who were being
tried for murder. The county attor-
ney moved to dismiss the cases and
thus save the county expense on the
Ground that it was impossible under
the disposition of the court and the
present ranel to secure a conviction.
William E. Timmons, who was assis-
ting Assistant United States Attorney
Wiley F. Jones, challenged 1ngra-
hams statements as misconduct with
the result tina; the court imposed a
fine OF $50. or fifty days in the coun-
ty Jail.
III disM;ssing the case against In
graham. the supreme court decided
that the lower court erred in impos-
ing fine for misdemeanor in a case
cf contempt of court, and in not
granting a hearing in the case.

At Daggett, early Monday morning,
there was train accident and that

dynamite and two cars of oranges
had been side-tracked there, to be
taken up by the Salt Lake train. In
due time when these cars were being

owing probably to a defect in the

feature on this trip that invariably
attracts the attention of the traveller

is what is called ''BabOOn Peak" a
fantastic freak of nature. This peak
is surmounted by an optical illusion
in the shape OF a monstrous babOon's
head placed upon pedestal and
looking as perfect in every detail as
ID it had been shaped by the hand of
sculptor. In a word, the Colorado s

of monumental fantasies where the

blended in the oldest architecture
that wind rain and sand ever wrought
upon, and where nature confronts the
astOnished intruder with the grimace
of a gigantic jester in the widest
