CLEANUP DAYS
 BIG SUCCESS
Officials Surprised; Cooper
 ation General; Scavengers Find Many Tons of Extra Refuse Gathered for Them

Results in surprising degree-co- operation on the part of the public In vigorous manner and generally. at tended Bisbee cleanup days. Monday and Tuesday.
 Such was the comment made last night by Street Superintendent To Wright, sponsor for the movement, Fire Chief Norton and others who watched the outcome of the voluntary work.
 The big city motor truck of the scavenger department set out yester. day morning with full crew of help CTS to begin the extra work of carting away refuse which the cleanup days had brought into conspicuous piles in otherwise clean as pin yards. The truck was busy all day long and the loads- x, gathered and made away with astonished everybody in touch with therwork.
 To-day the motor truck will again be in evidence, only comparative beeinning having been made yester- day It will cover most of the hills on It's rounds. some few only present. ing such curves as to make the oper. alton of the long truck around them impracticable Yesterday the truck climbed the grades and curves of Higgins and Mason hills with ease. In these localities there was general cleaning up by property owners and residents on Monday and yesterday, and the scavengers found plenty of material to work with.
 It was said last night that the spirit with which residents entered into the cleanup program was certainly high. ly encouraging and that it would doubtless result in a couple of such occasions being made annually, prob ably for spring and fall yard cleaning. a course that the health department believes would be most advantageous.

TELLS OF MOB VIOLENCE
Mrs. Ross Says Night Riders Burned
Her Cabin.

South Bend.-Mrs. Margaret Ross,
who, with her two sons, was marched
II miles through mud and water to
the home of q rancher near Vesta, in
Chehalis county. by band of armed
and masked night riders, has arrived
here. She told her story of the storm
ing and burning of the cabin on her
homestead in the wilderness and made
formal complaint against her alleged
assa!lants.
Back and behind all the trouble that
has stirred this county to it's depths
lies a story of woman and her two
sons who chose their home in the
wilderness and who happened to squat
upon the claim of another woman,
whom Mrs. Ross claims had been
away in Vancouver, B. c., from her
claim for one year and seven months.
The woman took up the claim about
three years ago, but, according to
report, lived on it only a short time
She is alleged to have abandoned it
and left a man named Bradley to
watch it for her.
