Incensed because the editor of the
Casa Grande Bulletin stated that dur
ing the past four years the daily and
weekly papers Of the state of Arizona
have constantly reported murders,
check raising, robberies, rape and other
crimes being committed by paroled
prisoners from the state prison at
Florence, Warden Simms of that insti-
tuition recently made affidavit show
ing the number of paroles revoked and
the crimes for which the honor prison
ers were returned. The warden,s affi-
davit as it refers to the number re-
turned under the present system of
prison management, together with the
comments of the editor of the Casa
Grande Bulletin certainly affords food

by the Jones garage, was drowned in

In Columbus Raid

One night after leaving provisions
in the house Marcado disappeared. He
returned in two weeks wounded in
the head and according to her story
told her that he received the wound
in raid on Aneries 8 at Columbus,
New Mexico. They stayed in Del Rio
until three weeks ago when they came
to Ray. The charge of assault was
placed against Marcado and Justice
E. w. French gave him six months in
Jail in order to hold him for the Fed
eral authorities. He was turned over
to Sheriff H. D. Hall Saturday and was
taken to Florence. The officers did
not question him in Ray neither does
he know that his companion has told
the officers her story. He speaks En-
glish fluently and expressed much sur
prise when told at the time of arrest
that the charge was assault. Sonora
Ventura will be taken care of and if
her story can be corroborated she will
be used as a witness. Later the au-
thorities will endeavor to locate her
husband and children.

.M|LLERS FALL BEFORE
FLAME DELH|'S PITCHING

Inability to hit the classy pitching
of Flame" Delhi caused the Millers to
go down to a 4 to 1 defeat before the
Ray Miners in Wednesdays game at
Hayden. The game was well played in
every respect, but with Flame" back
in form and holding down the box the
Millers were out of luck
For the first six innings Lush, the
pitcher for the Mill, did splendid work,
holding the Mines down with the ex-
ception of homer by Connolly in the
fifth. He then weakened and had to
be replaced by Reiger, who gave four
hits and let in two runs.
Manager Beaumiller of the Miner
club helped his score out by four
base drive, bringing in one ahead of
himself. He also played an exceptional
game in the field.
Schwind, the newly acquired third
baseman on the Millers' lineup, did
some fancy gardening and should
prove a valuable addition to the club.
Their center fielder, Rose, registered
their only score when he circled the
diamond in the eighth on a long hit
over the fence.
The game, which was scheduled for
last Sunday between the Mill and
Smelterites, and which was postponed
on account of the rain, will be staged
Friday.

SEAT Tie NOT
IN LOVE WITH
HERB HESTER
No Wonder, After He Took
Game Away From Um-
plre and Seattle Nine by
Score Of Four to Three
Perfectly shocking!"
"And such language

|
"And such language.''s
That's the way Seattle fans and
would-be sport writer's talked about
Herb Hester, our Herb, now manager
of the Great Falls, Montana, team fol-
lowing four to three defeat inflicted
by the Great Falls nine recently.
Peeved to the nth power because of
the Sound city's defeat at the hands
of Hester's aggregation, the Seattle
Times proceeds to lay the blame on the
Great Falls manager and calls him all
the names it can think of.
Sifted down to the facts in the case
| it looks to man UP a tree as though
Seattle was sore, peevish, grabbing, all
of which said bouquets were thrown
at Hester. A substitute umpire pro-
ceeded to call a wild one on Herb in
| the second inning, and when Hester
protested and showed him that it was
mile and half from the plate by
actual measurement, the ump de-
clared the game forfeited to the Seattle
crowd, to 0. Just like that, 9 to o.
Hester called for the president of the
I league, who refused to back up the
hasty umpire, and called out his reg
a cinder in his eye. And then Great
Falls, having vanquished the umpire
through the debating skill of Hester,
proceeded to turn in and trim Seattle
4 to 3.
So in retaliation the Seattle Times
says Hester should be fined, that he
must be punished, and made to behave,
and that if he tries to pull any stuff
like that at Vancouver they will put
him in the BOBBY hatch and all that
sort of thing. They claim Hester uses
a peculiarly vivid brand Of profanity,
quite different from the subdued foggy
kind that is cultivated around the
banks of Puget sound. It's too much
like Arizona sheet lightning, and they
won't stand for it, especially if Great
Falls, now under the guiding wing of
our Herbert, should repeat the per-
formance. (Note to reader: Great
Falls and Seattle are battling to keep
out of last place in the league.)
Seattle fans have already ordered a
large pennant which is to be hoisted
over the grandstand. 1t carries an in
scription of but three words

VILLA BANDIT CAPTURED
IN ARREST Of MARCADO
ON RANCH NEAR RAY !?

When Constable w. A. Lewis ar
rested Pedro Marcado in Ray Saturday
it is believed that he captured one of
the bandits who participated in the
raid on Columbus, New Mexico, under
the Villa flag. If such be the case
it is only through the quick thinking
Of the officer that the charge is any
thing but common assault.
Friday night Marcado filled with
personal use, beat woman compan-
ion, Marie Plantila Ventura. with a
miners lamp. They were living at
a milk ranch two miles from Ray. She
appealed to the officer Saturday after
Marcado had gone to his work in the
mines and in telling of the assault
mentioned that a Villa bandit could
questioned and she told her story
signing a statement in case anything
should happen before she was called
to testify.
Marie Plantila Ventura lived on a
ranch with her husband and two
small children outside Chihuahua City
Mexico. One day. a bandit band rode,
by the house and Marcado taking a
fancy to the eomely Sonora Ventura
forced her to mount his horse and rode
off with her. That was six months
ago. After staying with the bandit
gang two weeks Marcado deserted TAX
ing his captive with him to Del Rio
Texas. She could speak no English
and he told her If she attempted to
leave he would follow and Kill her and
her family.
