THOUGH eRoeeY HE COULD RUN

A strange Mexican appeared in
Parker last Monday and proceeded at
once to tank up on booze. After he
had a well-developed jag aboard, he
restaurant to sleep off his alcoholic
burden, when Constable Roberts came
along and disturbed his repose, in
viting him to more comfortable quar-
ters in the calaboose. The fellow
went along with the officer peaceful
ly enough until they came to- pile
of rocks by the way, when the pris-
oner quickly picked up a couple of
these and hove them at the officer
with all his might, missing by very
close margin the latter's head, then
broke into a run that would have
done credit to a more sober person.
So fleet-footed was he that Roberts,
when he found he could not catch
him and having at the time no gun
with which to call halt, ran home
and secured his saddle horse. The
thombre was making for the Santa
Fe bridge so fast that when Roberts
appeared with his horse the race be-
tween the ''greaser" and the ''gringro
rurale" promised to be a very close
one-with the odds a little i'm the
formers favor. However, Roberts
averhauled him in the middle of the
bridge and locked him up. AS Judge
Collins was absent from town,
Roberts turned the fellow loose after
he had thoroughly sobered up.

EXCITING EQUESTRIAN STUNT.

Miss Irene Bryant, deputy post
mistress of Parker, had a rather
thrilling experience last Sunday after
noon, and while the affair caused no
little excitement for the time being
among those who witnessed it, Miss
Bryant, though the principal actor,
seemed the least excited of all. She
had secured a saddle horse from
Charles Hosfelt with the intention of
taking a ride out in the country, and
the animal being brought to her
saddled she mounted and started
cut. On the east side of the railroad
track, near the ice plant, the broncho
eN identity decided to try his riders
mettle, for he started off on a mad
run, regardless of the riders efforts
to hold him in check. The horses

rryant in the least but she realized
tIat the cinch had given way and the
saddle was beginning to slip, so she

SUES YUMA COUNTY
FOR LOSS OF LAUNCH.

A. S. Prescott, of Parker, filed suit
in the superior court this week
through his attorneys, Timmons and
Harris, against Yuma county for
$1,000.
Prescott alleges that Constable w.
H. Clayton, of Parker precinct, took
possession of a gasoline launch be-
longing to plaintiff to pursue num-
Der of boat thieves and that Clayton
agreed to pay for the use of the
launch and return it in good condi-
tion..
Prescott wants rental for 10 days
at five dollars per day and he also
asks for $3.50 which he alleges is the
value of the launch. He claims i'm his
complaint that he has asked the Yu-
ma county board of supervisors for
relief which was refused and that his
launch is now tied up at Ehrenberg,
As miles from Parker and that the
launch is i'm a disabled condition.
The case will be tried at the pres
ent term of court.-Yuma Sum-

REPAIRING THE HIGHWAY.

The board of supervisors of Yuma
county, at theiir meeting last week,
agreed to begin construction at once
of a good permanent highway from
Yuma to Dome, on the Gila river a
distance of eighteen miles.
This is a stretch of road on the
ocean to ocean highway, and has al
ways been ONE of the worst pieces
of the road motorists encountered
on their trip across the continent 1t
was the intention of the board to
have this road completed by the date
set for the completion of the bridge
across the Colorado at Yuma and the
bridge across the ella at Antelope
Hill, both of which bridges are ex-
pected to be completed by March Is,
1915.

Ed S. Osborne and j. B. Flanagan

Nevada, where they visited the scene
Aof the new gold and platinum strike
in the Boss mine, located 20 miles
from Jean, station on the Salt
Lake railroad They made the trip

shipment from this property average,
$4.OO per pound in gold and platinum.
The values were: Gold, Ill ounces,

LAUTEN AS A "WILD MAN."

An individual came to town Tues
day, very much excited, and told a
representative of The Post of seeing
wild man just south of town, run
ming at furious rate through the
greaseWood hatless, and pursued by
two other men. He added that he
(the wild NAM was a great big fel-
low and that ''he could run like a
deer" SO great was his speed that
when last seen he had distanced his
pursuers by several hundred yards
and was still gaining on them
Inquiry developed the fact that this
wild man of the woods was none
other than b. F. Lauten, the popular
local butcher, and his pursuers were
We're Jimmie Gillen and John Book
man. 1t appears that Lauten was en-
gagged in moving a number of hogs
from his land down on the river to
the Rainy place, just south of town,
and was being assisted by Gillen and
Bockman. On the way to Rainy's a
pig jumped out of the wagon in which
the porkers were being hauled and
took to the greaseWOod, pursued by
the three men. Lauten, despite his
245 pounds avoirdupois, was soon in
the lead and distancing his assis-
tants. The race continued for fully
a mile when Lauten finally caught
the pig by the tail and held him un-
til the others came up. Of course,
the stranger did not know the par
ties nor did he know what the race
was all about. He could see Lauten's g
tall figure towering above the grease
wood as he ran bareheaded but could
not see the pig he was chasing,
hence his natural supposition that the
fellow had gone daft and that the
other two men following in his wake
were trying to catch him as a proper
subject for the ''bug-house."

Election Contest.

John F. Collins has filed complaint
in the superior court, contesting the
election of J. E. Beck to the office
Of justice of the peace of Parker pre-
cinct, The contestant alleges among
other things the following: That

PlCNICKERS HAVE MlSHAP.

One day last week, party consist
ing of Mr.. and Mrs. B. B. Brown, J.
Beck and Miss Gladys Evans, went
ON a picnicking tour down the valley
about 20 miles in Mr.. Browns auto.
On their return they came to a
marshy place where the machine
mired down so deeply that it finally
came to standstill The men got
out and rustled UP some brush, and,
after hard work, managed to put
down enough of that to enable the
machine to pull out of the juicy
spot.
Last Sunday, r. c. Saufley and
family and G. A. Marsh and family
went on a similar excursion over
nearly the same route in Mr.. Sauf-
leys machine At the same identical
