TRANSFORM" DEFENSE
 OFFERED FOR CUTTING
Former Soldier Not Certain That His Wife's Throat Was Not SIashed
 By Accident.
Especial to The Republican,

DOUGLAS, Feb. 17-"Brainstorm Or accident is the excuse offered by Horace Davis, a former negro sol- dier discharged from the Ninth cav airy this month with the rank of corporal, who is accused of attempt ing to take the life of his wife The woman is in the county hospital nursing a deep gash in the throat and cuts on arms and shoulders. If She slash in the throat had been a trifle deeper, the wound would have been fatal, as it is she will probably recover.
 Davis states that he and his wife went to a dance together and that he considered that she was too familiar with other dancers and that upon tEeir return home they quarreled over the matter. He claims that when he upbraded her, she drew a knife and that he only attempted to take it from her. He further says that his wife attempted to kill him in Cheyenne and that they have been separated once and that if he gets out of the present trouble he will depart from her for good and all

FINAL FEELS
 CONFIDENCE
Letters from Senators and Representative Indicate That San Carlos Bridge Q Sites Must Stand As First Opproved.
Especial to The Republican,


 FLORENCE. Feb. 17.-Residents of the Casa Grande valley are now con- fident that the proposed bridges on the San Carlos Indian reservation will be built on the original sites chosen and not in the territory de- sired as a part of the San Carlos reservoir as has been sought by Gila ard Graham counties. This feeling of assurance results in letters re- ceived from the two senators and representatives in congress.
 The letter from Senator Ashurst is identical with that received some time ago by the Comercial club Senator Smiths letter follows:
 q have noticed the action of the board of supervisors of Gila and Graham counties concerning the pro- posed bridges across the San Carlos and Gila rivers. Congress passed law, and it seems to me that the Indian agent at San Carlos is trying to nullify it. The matter of bridge across the river, or a dozen bridges across it, does not reach one-third the importance of the preservation of the reservoir site for future use of the Casa Grande valley. I shall insist, and have insisted that these bridges be built and that they be built where they will not interfere with the reservoir site"
 In a letter to F. w. Coker under date of Febuary }, Representative Carl Hayden writes:
 Indian agent at San Carlos has been stirring up some trouble by trying to change the location of the bridges to be built across the San Carlos creek and Gila river. I have been unable to get an expression out of the Indian office because they are waiting for the San Carlos report. but I am confident that the bridges will be built at the points designated by congress-
 From these letters it would seem that the Arizona delegation is going to stand pat on this bridge question and permit nothing to interfere with the construction of the San Carlos dam.

broken the existing records almost
from the first hour on, and they have
done more sprinting than there has
been in the last three races in the
