BUYING A LAWSUIT


 Did you know that placing your reliance upon a warranty deed is simply bidding for a lawsuit?
 In California this fact is so we'll understood that war ranty deed is looked upon with suspicion.
 It is for this reason:
 If the title is good it passes the deed, and is all there is to it-no need of a warranty. If bad, the adding of warranty does not make it good.
 A warranty is only a sort of a beta wager that you will have no trouble; but if you do, and finally lose out, I'll pay your money back.
 A better plan is to require an abstract. Don't go to law. Get an abstract from us, we have the only abstract books in Co., conino County and the only rec ord of conveyances recorded in Yavapai County affecting pro- perty in Coconino County prior to its creation. BOOMING COUNTY ABSTRAC

Big BLIND TIGER HAUL
POLICE OF CITY WORK OUT MOST
NOTABLE "CATCHo IN ALL
THIS SECTION.
An Old, But Oft Acquitted Offender
Is At Last Beyond the Posi-.
bility of Escape.

Acting Chief of Police of the city,
Capt. Ed. Tew, has been adroitly at
work on what has been long not only
suspected but known to be most rep
rehensib1e blind tiger, beyond the city
limits-and beyond city police sur
veillance, but which, nevertheless, the
police have used every effort to appre-
hend, having brought the offender into
the higher courts On several occasions,
but without successful conviction.
The police have not been negligent,
however, because of former acquittals,
and yesterday, accompanied by Sheriff
Edwards, who was the rightful officer
to act, the place being beyond the city
limits, the house of Elizabeth Burnett
was taken in hand by them in the
authority of law and searched thor
oughly with the result that 1,107 bot
ties of beer, and 581s gallons of whis-
key, in bottles and various brands were
found and seized, and it required three
wagons the entire afternoon yesterday
to haul the stuff to the city, where it
is now safely housed in the county
Jail.
Several days ago Officer Tew went to
Sheriff Edwards and asked him to is
sue a search and seizure warrant
which the sheriff did, also accompanied
the officer to the Burnett woman's
home, where a thorough search was
made, but only small quantity of
'booze" was found, and the sheriff
thought the matter was ended. How
ever, Officer Tew again received a clue
| that the woman was selling Whiskey
at two dollars a pint and seemed to
be well supplied, so going down to the
| woman's house he did little investi-
eating of his own, which satisfied him
that there was whiskey in the house
therefore, yesterday he again went tc
the sheriff and secured another war
rant and together with the sheriff and
| his deputies went to the Burnett wo-
mans home and again made search
There was no evidence of booze any
where, but while searching one of the
officers discovered secret panne1 in {
section of the house which was clever
ly hidden from view. Here the whis
key was stored and when partition ad
joining the section where the booz.
was hidden was torn down there th'
beer was found.
Several months ago the above wo
man was tried in superior court on
charge of selling whiskey, but wa
acquitted.
u In the present case, the defendan
waived a hearing before a committing

ance at court next week.
