men, lin discussing the laxity one

Constable
John PrOffitt
y
Makes Haul

Until Sunday Benson had the
reputation Of being the driest town
in the state, observing the prohi-
bition law to the letter. The good
record was broken Sunday, how
ever, when Constable Proffitt raid
ed a small house near the ceme-
terry, confscated several bottles of
liquor and made three arrests.
A woman and two mon were ar.
rested. The men were charged
with being drunk and disorderly,
and after pleading guilty were re-
leased on a suspended sentence.
The woman, an elderly Mexican,
acknowledged ownership of the
booze, claiming. that she had found
the stuff in valise at the cemetery
at six o'clock in the morning. More
than this she denied any connection
with the affair. She was released
aud will be kept under surveillance
until the origination Of the booze
can be investigated.
The booze had the resemblance
Of being home distilled, being con
tanned in quart and pint beer bot
ties. -Four full bottles and two or
three empties we're found. Ac-
cording to a gentleman who claims
to be a judge of good whiskey, the
stuff was distilled from the dregs
Of hades, but evidently the mescal
plant, corn, and wild plants enter~
ed into it's compositions 1t is very
evident that the stuff was either
distilled here or was smuggled from
Mexico. The booze will be held
in bond by Judge ShiIliam until a
United States revenue man comes,
when it will be turned over to him;
and if that gentleman does not want
the stuff, Judge Shilliam will see
that it is destroyed according to

Road Bond
Election Calls
for $6OO.0OO

At the meeting of the Road Bond
Issue Association, which was in
session at Douglas Wednesday, it
was decided to ask for bond issue
in Cochise county for 5000, 600, to
be used in the ction of q
system Of county roads.
Representatives from all over
the county were present, and the
estimate as presented by County
Engineer Ryan was gone over
thoroughly.
Engineer Ryan's estimate pro
vided for one Of the mostcomplete
systems of county roads ever plann
led in the state and entailed an
amount which was about twice the
amount which will be asked for,
as finally decided upon. The elm
ination was found necessary as the
taxable property in the county
would not justify the larger amount
In case the bond issue carries,
Benson's proportion OF the amount
will be about $685. The Ben
son district covers the road from
the county line near Mescal to Ben
son, and from Benson to point a
short distance this side of Adams
ranch. 1t also includes the road
down the river and four miles Of
road to the Robinson district. Only
one mile of the St. David road is
in the Benson district, the balance
coming under the St David district
and will be covered by the St.
David appropriation.
Petitions will soon be circulated
calling for the election, which will
probably be held about the first of
the year. In voting on the propo
sition, the amount to be expended
on each section of the road will be
specified.
Those who attended the meeting
from Benson were M. P. Cosby,
c. F. Moss and H. G. Brown.

rested two Mexicans, who gave
their names as Alberta Oredrega a

of having stolen goods in their

Suspicion was aroused when
one Of the men expressed bundle

vestigation of the bundle revealed
lot of valuable women's wearing
apparel, shipped from firm in
New York.
The men could not give @ good
account Of themselves and are be-
ing held pending an investigation
by S. 2. detectives, who are of the
opinion that the goods were stolen

School District No. 33, in the
growing camp of Johnson, will
hold a bond election on the 27th
instant for the purpose of raising
funds to erect a much needed schooI
building. The bond issue calls for
$1,000, which will undoubtedly
carry at the election. The school
children have become so numerous
in the district that a larger build.
ing is necessary to accommodate
them. Lucy H. Burney, Irene
Wien, and Nellie I Lemons are named
as the election judges.
