OFFICERS WILL PLAY BUSINESS MEN NEXT
 SUNDAY AT WARREN
All Star Aggregation of Has Beens to Take on Officers of Twenty-Second Infantry Record Game is Promised
Soldiers against civilians!

Announcement extraordinary Eighteen business men of the War ren District, comprising some of the classiest has-beens, who ever were, will meet like aggregation from the officers of the Twenty Second lnfan- try Sunday morning at 10 o'clock.
 (Note: The time was placed at this early hour in order to complete the game by D. m- when the field is re served by regular ball players.) Baseball is usually played with nine men, one at each corner of perfect diamond (when the surveying is good), one near the grand stand, who receives all. or nearly all, of the abuse from the spectators, and three men in what are called the fields. These last three do most of the work. - Another attachment to a ball team is a man who stands between the second and third corners of the diamond. Some time he is useful and will be used in the game on Sunday, it is understood.
 According to the "ribberS" of the contest the whole eighteen of the bus mess men will not be used at any one time Judging from the corpulence Ol llt IltLlDGIS Ol lA4t lGdlli- hllAi q few exceptions, the eighteen will be used at some period.
 Captain Fred Terrell, of the Twenty
 Second, will see to it that the officers are well represented They may not need eighteen players but must have at least seventeen.
 Toby Lyons, gold-toothed exponent of the national pastime with every thing in the world of a Hank O'Day except the megaphOne voice, will be the sergeant at arms of the proceed ings. There are some of the business men who are prone to kick up rows. That Lyons, who is an old leaguer, will handle them in truly rural fash ion is a certainty.
 The lineup of the Business Men has not been perfected. There may be some indispositions between the pres ent and the actual playing of the con test. The aggregation. however, rep resents some great old players, three card, baseball. hockey. solo, pangin- que, football and others. It should be a great game.
 Within the next day or two Captain Terrell will be able to announce the personnel of the Officers team. Un- doubtedly some of the paculiarities of the players can be determined by that time, also.
 The tentative lineup of the Busi- ness Men is as follows: John C.. Greenway, catcher; F. A. Hedgecock, s. A. Coco, Walter O'Malley, pitchers;
 Harry Hastings, first base; Charles Cox, second base; w. B. Gohring, sohrt stop; Hugh Gunnison, third base; George Ludwig. left field; R.

cloud before the morning sun. Their trail, if there was any such lead, was entirely obliterated. AL one time the officers, working on a clue obtained in Zacatecas, Mexican village in Upper Brewery Gulch, went on a chase to Nogales. This trip came to nothing.
 Later in the summer, after the first fuDre of the murder had died down, Pabr5 Ramirez, on old offender in the courts of the DistriOt, was ar rested on q vagrancy charge. He was held in the county jail and the of fcers, aided by Frank Thomas, went to work on him. Bit by bit it was determined that Ramirez was close to the murderer or one of the actual participants in the crime.
 About the same time an American, in Sonora, came to the local officers and told item of man who had stay ed at his camp with a badly wounded arm and who had rold of getting into a fight with some American in Bisbee. The case was investigated and it led to a house in Cananea- Leandro Nal donado vas arrested and incarcerated in the Cananea jail. Later he was taken to Agua Prieta and turned over to the Cochise county authorities by Governor Gales of the Mexican state. Upon being brought back to Bisbee Maldonado confessed his part of the crime He said that when he and Ramirez were coming across the bridge, near the Czar, Brooks came up from behind and commanded them to halt This they refused t0 do and Brooks rushed upon them. In the melee which followed, Brooks was car ried down into the Bottom of the dry gulch by the weight of the two Mex jeans. He was apparently sumner, after he had shot a couple of times at the two men, one of which hit MalConado.
 Maldonado stated that he wrested the gun from the watchman's hand and shot at Brooks. De declared that he thought he hit him. Nothing of a post n.ortem examination showed any bullet wounds The man stated that after he had been shot Ramirez ran into the gulch and beat Brooks over the head with rocks, and returned to the railroad embankment with the declaration that "I have finished him"
 Ramirez was tried first, in the su- perior court, and found guilty of mur- der in the second degree. The same verdict was found in the Naldonado case which was completed yesterday Ramirez was sentenced to from ten years to life. Undoubtedly the same sentence will be accorded Maldonado and the case, as far as Cochise coun- ty is concerned, closed.

FINAL CHAPTER READ IN MURDER OF WALTER
 BROOKS, JUNE 1915
Murder Case Which for Some Weeks Baffled Officers IS Closed Book With Convic- ton of Two Mexicans

With the conviction of Leandro Maldonado, of second degree murder, for the murder of Walter Brooks, one of the most atrociOus and at the same time, one of the most batfllng cases is brought to an end as far as the lower courts are concerned. Naldoh- ado. as soon as sentenced, will Deglh serving his sentence in company Wlth his companion in the crime, Pablo Ramirez.
 On the early morning of June Zt' 1915, about 2:30 o'clock, several shots were heard in the neighborhood of the bridge which crosses the gulch near the railroad side Of the sla9 dump. In a very few minutes a Mexican boy, who lives with his parents on top SI the old slag dump, on the south of the gulch, ran into the Plaza square and told of someone being shot.
 Officers Barton and Run went im- mediately to the scene and found a dead man. His head was badly caved in from rocks. So badly was he beat en that he was unrecognizable. Upon calling the coroner, who looked into his pockets, it became apparent that 
 head watchman for the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company.
 Many were the clues to the murder CT or murderers. From the story of the boy and his mother, the only peO- ple who heard the cries from the gulch, it was established at once that two men were implicated. It was also thought that the two men were Mexicans. Just exactly what the motive for the crime was could not be determined.
 Soon the fact was determined that Brooks, some minutes before he was killed. had been talking D the watch man at the machine shop. There both of the watchmen had noticed two MeXicans pass carrying sacks, that appeared to be filled with something of a perishable nature. They had come over the trail from Ion Luis and were, apparently, making their way to some point in Bisbee, presumably on Chihuahua Hill To establish their connection with the murder of Brooks became the question. Another handicap met at once in the investiga- ton of the case was the indentifica- tion Of the two men who had passed the machine shops. This could not be done. Their connection with the crime was settled, however, when bot ties of tequila and mescal, broken bits of the same containers and canteens with the same liquor were found near the scene of the murder.
 For several days absolutely nothing of any consequence was found that would give the officers a good lead. The murderers had faded away as

And when he parted company with his cart, he rolled until he reached the country club. It was there he planned his advance station anyway, so he spliced the wire and sent out a record message that saved the day and the safety of Bisbee.
 In the meantime Major Langdon and Major Charles also rallied three companies at the Country club. and swung of east to intercept the enemy before he reached the hills.
 The enemy, however, could not be located until Captain Greenway. de | signated the Colonel's official attache. charged down the steep hillside on white charger bearing a message. Gar cia like, that the enemy had been located. The message bearer declared the hostiles had been ensconsed in the pit of Gold Gulch and that they were being raked fore and aft by the ma chine gun company and that if the Camp Greenway boys wanted to get in on the fun they would have b hur- ", or the enemy would all be dead.
 Major Langdon and his five Compa- nles swung around like a big gate to the left, shutting of escape out of the canyon and bottling up the hostiles so they could not even retreat.
 The game was over. The hostiles were so den.oralized they marched straight home 10 Camp Greenway without saying a word to anyone Iney were the goats. They knew it all along. But Bisbee and Warren were saved, it was time for "chow'' and they were very. very hungry.

The signal company hitched up their carts, and ran about two and one-half miles of telephone wire and started sending hot messages while the carts were on the run. Unfortun- ately the insulation was bad. and the message went right on into the gal loping chargers with astonishing re- suits. The cart was just on the brow of hill and was starting down. when the messages began. IL was probably the fastest wire laying down that hill that ever will be recorded in the his tory of the District of Columbia guards or any other signal corps com pany.

and for the establishment Of ship
ping board is just as imperative now
as it was then. A Democratic House
has passed such bill, carrying with
it an appropriation of fifty million
dollars for the construction and pur-
.hase by the government of mer-
chant marine to be utilized both as an
essential naval auxiliary in time of
war and for the uses of our commerce
in time of peace. If we are going to
have any genuine preparedness, about
which there is so much talk on the
part of our Republican friends, how
can they be justified in voting against
this measure which is just as essen
tial to strong and effective navy as
the guns on the decks of the battle
ships, or the coal which must be put
in the bunkers of our war vessels.
And yet most of them have voted
against this essential measure.
/ believe this bill will soon pass the
Senate Of the United States and re-
ceive the approval of the President.
When this happens, another great
constructive measure for the prosperi-
ty and prestige of our great country,
second only in importance to that of
the Federal Reserve act itself, win
have been secured for the American
people. The Stars and Stripes will
again be seen upon the high seas. The
safety of our commerce will no longer
be jeopardized by reliance upon for
eign flags. The lives of American cit
liens who must travel upon the high
seas will no longer be forced upon the
ships of belligerent flags because
there are no American ships to pro-
tect them; and the efficiency of our
navy will no longer be imperiled for
want of the necessary naval auxiliar''
to supply our fighting units with coal
and provisions and ammunition which
cannot be supplied to them in case of
war except through an efficient aux
iliary merchant marine.
The flag of our country, whether we
wish it or not, has meaning beyond
our own territorial limits. BY the
decree of God, and by destiny, we
have been thrust into a position of
power, carrying with it worldwide
responsibilities and forcing upon us
in all probability measure at least
of worldwide dominance. The flag
must never stand for a failure to meet
any domestic or worldwide RESPONSE
bility; that flag must forever continue
to represent the true spirit and cour-
age and genius and ideals of the
American people, and above all, it
must stand for truth and justice and
fair dealing with all the world. It
must stand for peace-peace which re-
fleets the heaven-given light of truth
and justice; a peace we shall never be
willing to disturb except in a cause
whose shield is truth and honor-em-
blazoned by light of such radiance
and purity that every American citi-
zen will be eager for the glorious priv
ilege of shedding his blood in defense
of it.

Sufu. Inc percentage OF war orders,
as contrasted with the entire domes-
tic and foreign commerce of the Unit
ed States, is insignificant. When war
orders cease-and God grant that the
necessity for them may cease soon
we shall receive orders. even from
Europe, for the restorative purposes
of peace, for the reconstruction of
ruined industries and cities, and for
the relief of the stricken markets Of
Germany and Austria, which have
been closed to us for the full period of
the war. Our trade in Austria and
Germany alone for the last year prior
to the outbreak of the war amounted
to 1857, 100000. All this trade will be
regained, and in addition to that, if
we are in the least intelligent and en-
terprising, the great markets of South
and Central America, which have been
DANGEROUSLY seeking us for the past
two years, will more than offset any
possible loss Of war trade. The total
imports of South America alone, ex-
elusive of those received from the
United States during the last year of
available statistics prior to the out
break of the European war, were
like $7,G0,000000.

line that can be more perfect. A hog
is not generally very beautiful crea-
ture nor has he traits OF character
that would make one long to associate
with him, but in gazing upon the Ne
braska product at the fair one comes
nearer admiring the swine family than
at any other time in his history.
The perfection to which stock rails
ing has reached has become to be telt
in Nebraska. As one enters a meat
market and gazes at the meat hung
about to be carved on the block. he
realizes that the care which stock
raisers have taken in breeding and
raising the best not only pleases the
eye, but just as nicely pleases the
inner man.
With the strict pure food laws Of
the state and the strong sanitary pro-
visions included, when one goes to
buy his meat for dinner he can al
most feel sure that he is going to get
something good, even if he leaves it
to the butcher.
The efforts made by the stock
breeders to produce none but the best
has been taken up by the farmers and
it is seldom that the undesirable
horse, COW or hog is found on the Ne
braska farm any longer. Nebraska
farmers discovered a few years ago
that there was more money In rails
ing a thoroughbred than a common
animal and as result the stock on
the average farm is of good quality.
The long nose razor back hog has
entirely disappeared and his place Is
new taken by the sleek, round thor
oughbred. The farmer has found that
it does not pay to feed 40 or 50-cent
corn to any animal that will eat Its
weight every day and lose flesh ali
the time. He prefers to see results,
and he knows he can only get those
results by feeding his products to the
animals who have pedigree and a
family tree that has no broken
branches or withered leaves.
And so the efforts OF Nebraska
farmers to improve the quality of
their stock has brought beneficial
and lasting results. The farmer real
ICES it and is always alert to discover
some manner to better, if possible
his herd. He knows that by attend
ing the state fair he will discover
many things perhaps that will well
repay him for the time and money
spent in the trip to Lincoln.

STREAMS IN TIME OF FLOOD
Some of the Interesting Peculiarities
Noted by the Geological
Suruev


Interesting features in the behavior
of streams during floods are explained
by scientist of the United Statets
geological survey in recent official
letter. 1t has long been known that
swift streams are higher at the center
than near the banks that driftwood
moves to the banks during the rise
and crest of a flood and returns to
the center as the waters fall, and that
foam is generally abundant on a ris-
ing stream and absent from one that
is falling, but owing to the imperfect
development of the science of hydrol-
ogy, as applied to streams and to the
special obscurity of the laws relating
to the energies involved in stream
flow the causes of these phenomena
are not generally known.
1t can be shown, however, that the
intricate and bewildering play of en-
ergy in streams, like all other natural
phenomena, is fundamentally SYSTEM
attic.
The elevation of the center Of a
stream above the margins during a
flood is generally the result of the
roughness of its bed. Bowlders, sand
waves and rifles and even sand grains
turn parts of the current that strike
against them outward from the banks
and upward from the bottom of the
channel. The particles directly de-
Elected by the obstacles may move
but short distance in that direction,
but their energy is transmitted to
other particles and by them to still
others, setting up system of forces
that act toward the upper middle part
of the stream.
All forces acting in a liquid cause
motion until friction completely
wastes the energy involved. Therefore
these forces cause movements in the
streams mass that converge toward
the upper central part Of the cross
section. This causes the center Of
the stream to rise above the margins
