Casey was arrested and taken

ordered taken TO the bull pen.
Before taking him down there
the chief Of police ordered the
officer who had Tim in charge,

Casey resented tbs action ON
the part of the officer, and
strongly resisted Whether il
was done according to rules in a

that he only hit him open handed,

Money for Boundary Highway.

Strategic highways can now be
constructed pursuant to the pro
visions Of the 100000 federal
aid roads bill which has inst been
signed by President Wilson. The
first of these highways neces
sary Tor military purposes would
naturally be the road which
parallels the boundary between
the United States and Mexico,
aud traverses the states of New
Mexico, California and Arizona.
The cost of constructing these
jointly built highways is to be
borne 80 per cent by the federal
government and 30 per cent by
the states; the federal monies
being divided in proportion to
area, population and post road
mileage.
New Mexico has a very large
allowance ut this fund, and while
II is not very likely that any
state money can be secured for
purpose of building a road along
the border from Fl Paso to the
Arizona line, II is likely that the
authorities will 40 everything in
their power to get tile money on
road that is many miles north
Of the international boundary.
The people residing in the
southern part Of the state should
investigate and learn what viii,
be expected OF them to get this
road through. \ road built
across the state twenty or even
ten miles north of the boundary
would be of no use 10 the military
at all, and ii the matter is put UP
to the proper authorities II seems
10 us that il will be easy to con.
vince them that the road should
be built direct from III Pa>o u
