Kidney Disorder
By DR.. L. c. Babcock)

Simple methods are usually tho
most effective ones when treating
any disorder Of the human system.
The mere drinking q cup Of hot water
each morning. plenty Of pure water all
day, and a little Anuric before every
meal has been found the most effective
means Of overcoming kidney trouble.
Death would occur II the kidneys did
not work day and night in separating
poisons and uric acid from the blood.
The danger signals are backache. de-
pressions, aches. pains. heavfness'
drowsiness, irritability. headaches.
chilliness, rheumatic twinges, swollen
joints. govt.
It is such a simple matter to step
into your favorite drug store and OBJ
tain Anuric, which was first discovered
by DR.. Pierce, of the Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y. Every druggist dis
penses it.
All people in America and especially
those who are past middle age are
prone to eat too much meat and in
consequence deposit uric acid (uratic
salts) in their tissues and joints. They
often suffer from twinges of rheuma-
tsn, or lumbago, sometimes from govt.
swollen hands or feet. Such people
are not always able to exercise suf-
1icicntly in the outdoor air in order to
sweat freely and excrete impurities
through the skin. Anuric will over
come such conditions as rheumatism.

MMITTEE WILL LEAVE MONDAY
 FOR JACKSON
Meeting With Mine Managers of MogoIion District For PreIIriinaiy Estimate on Connecting Highway Is Ar anged.
-5ok that city.

Leavng Clifton on Monday next and arriving at Jackson, New Mexico, at 9ocn on the following day, a commit tee representing the Greenlee County Chamber Of Commerce, County l:n- sIneer kedd and member of the Board of Supervisors, will meet Messrs. s. J. Kidder and A. T. An der.on managers of mining comran- :es m re Mogollon disrict, ans: tie entire party will go over the propos- cd route of connecting highway be- tween -Greenlee county and the Mog- olion Mining district.
 The party who will go from Cliff ton will probably include W. B. Kelly, President; and W. S. Bradfie1d, Secretary of the Chamber of Com merce; R. R. Webster, Jas. H. Kerby, Wade Hampton, s. c. Redd, County Engineer; and w. T. Witt, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors. The party will go overland on horse back and MT. Redd will make a pre- liminary estimate of the cost of con- struction on the Arizona side of the state boundary.
 At mule Creek the party will also be joined by ranchers in that section who are enthusiastic supporters of the road proposition.
 The mine managers at Mogollon have for some time evidenced a lively interest in a cooperative plan whereby road would be constructed which would give them a shorter haul for their supplies and products to a railway point. It is estimated that a highway between Clifton and Mogollon would reduce the distance approximately twenty-five miles as between Clifton and Silver City, and would be mutually advantageous to both localities.

MURDERED BEFORE
 BURNED, FATE IF ] DR. HART
Am Government Inspector" said
 Hart to Bandits, With Hands Up
 3"No le Hace," They Replied; Char red Fragments of Body Remain.

DOUGLAS-Details of the tragic death of Dr. Harry M. Hart, who lost his life iu the Villa raid on Colum- bus, became available with the return from Columbus last night of A. c. Davis, D. c. O'Neal, w. de H. Washington and J. J. Neary, the first three having been sent as a committee by the local lodge of Elks.
 What Dr. Hart was killed and then his body cremated is their state rient. Mrs. W. T. Richie, wife of the proprietor of the Commercial hotel, who was himself killed in the raid, was an eye witness to the mur- der of Dr.. Hart.
 HDrA Hart arrived at 11:30 Wednes- day night from Ell Paso and went to the Commercial Hotel, retiring at once. When the Villistas raided the town q bunch of them entered the hotel, which was located on the sec ond story of a business block. They knocked on the door of the room oc- cupied by Dr. Hart, who as far as known was still asleep, as he was a heavy sleeper.
 Murdered in Cold Blood
 Before the doctor had time to open the door the bandits began to kick it down and demand that the occu- pant came out. Dr. Hart evidently slipped on his trousers, as blood soaked piece of his suit was later found by the remains. He came out of his room with his hands up and said to the bandits: q am govern 'ment inspector
 ''No le Hace,' they replied, mean ing That makes no difference" They then showed and kicked him to the bottom of the steps, where he fell in "a heap. Mrs. Ritchie saw this and overheard the conversation. The ban dits then rushed after Dr. Hart and murdered him in cold blood on the sidewalk at the foot of the stairs and in front of the hotel. Mrs. Ritchie saw them kill him and says number ! of shots were fired.
 The hotel was then ignited and the porch and outer wall fell out onto the sidewalk, burying the charred remains of the doctor. The remains were still in their original location when the Douglas men arrived in Co lumbus yesterday noon. It was be- llieved the remains were those of Dr .. Hart, but this was not established definitely until the arrival of the Douglas men.

THINKS SHE E|S BRIDE
 OF THAW
Isabel Kingson, School Teacher Waits For Lover; Adiudged Insane, She Is Conveyed, Fighting to Asylum.

PHOENlX-Believin herself to be the. promised bride of Harry K. Thaw, Isabel Kingston yesterday sat on the veranda of the Phillips House to await his coming. When Deputy Sheriff Ora Matthews accompanied by two other attaches of the sheriff's office called to take Miss Kingston to Judge Lyman's court where her sanity was to be inquired into, she declared it was nothing more nor less than a conspiracy to prevent her from meeting her lover.
 Thaw, she said, was protecting her from white slavers. He had followed them from Los Angeles to Seattle and would save her from them even as he had once saved another from Stanford White.
 In taking her to the state asylum for the insane the officers told her that she was going to the country estate of Thaw where the marriage would be performed at once.
 Miss Kingston gave her age as thirty three and said she had taught school ever since she was seventeen, at one time being connected with the Los An geles public schools and that she had also taught in San Diego. She has been in Phoenix since the first of the year. Her sisters in Boston were no- tified of her condition a few weeks ago though she was not nearly as violent as she has been the past few days. They replied that they would come to Phoenix.
 Within the last week Miss Kingston has terroized the neighborhood in which she lived by carrying a loaded gun. Recently she sat on the veranda of the Griswold home, 356 North Third avenue watching patiently for MT. Thaw. She fought like a tigress when taken to court.

SEND DELEGATES ID
 COMMITTEE
State Central Committee Will Assem- bIe in Phoenix Saturday-LocaI Re- publicans and ProgressiVes Unite for Approaching Campaigns.

At Eagle Hall on Saturday evening last number of Republicans of the district, including members of the Progressive and Republican county committees, met in a preliminary cau- cas fer the purpose of planning a Re publican campaign in the town, coun- ty and state elections.
 Republicans and Progressive con- mitteemen- from Clifton, Duncan and Morenci, were present and the meet. ing was attended by Republicans not members of the committee who took part in the caucas.
 The Republicans at this preliminary meeting followed the action of Repub- licans in other counties in Arizona by endorsing Tom Campbell, of Prescott, member of the State Fair Commission, for the Republican candidate for Gov ernor and Hon. Joseph H. Kibbey, of Phoenix, to succeed Hon. Henry F. Ashurst in the United States Senate.
 Tn national affairs, however, the committee assumed neutral attitude and instructed the committeeman from this county to the State Central Committee meeting to vote for an un- instructed delegation to the national convention in Chicago in July.
 The caucas was presided over by David Bronson and number of Re publicans present took occasion to ad- dress the meeting in an optomistic manner regarding the success of Re publicans in the nation, state and county in the year 1916.
 J. c. Gatti will represent Greenlee county at the State Central Committee meeting in Phoenix tomorrow.

SHANNON, STRIKE Is BROUGHT TO QUICK END
Grievance Committee and General Manager Bennie Reach Mutual Un- derstanding and Mines and Plant Operating as Uusual

As a result of a meeting between General Manager Bennie, of the Shan non Copper Co.,, and grievance com mittee of employees of the company, held on Monday of this week, the incipient strike, inaugurated last Friday, was ended.
 The miners at the Shannon return ed to work on Tuesday and the was again in operation today, after shut down of a week.
 It developed that organized labor in the district was not in sympathy with the hasty action of the miners at the Shannon and officials of the Central Labor Union make the as- sertion that such incidents will not occur again.
 Federal Investigator Myers who was in the district this week, having been called here on account of the strike, impressed upon the foreign element the necessity for regular and orderly procedure in the adjustment of any real or Imaginary grievances in the future.
 The places of the Mexicans who walked out at the Shannon concentra- tor were filled by American employees during the first part of the week, but in the final juadstment of the griev- ances, the Mexican employees were re- instated, the Amercans who had ac- cepted employment, however, being retained in other positions.

STATE WANTS FOREST LANDS

PHOENIX - Arizona's representa- tives in Congress are being asked to bring about legislation which would permit Arizona through the state land department to file on land in the for est reserve and also to secure water power sites on the Colorado river in the Grand Canyon region. By reason of the recently created Papago re- servation Arizona will be compelled to select 220,000 acres of land some where else in the state Unless some of this land can be selected within a forest reserveyit will be very difficult fo the state to find suitable land to take the place of that recently lost. It is pointed out that in case the state should be able to select water power sites in the canyon that it could construct and operate power plants under the industrial pursuits act which was adopted by the people in 1914.

NO BAR EX|STS DN SACRAMENTAl
 WINE
Attorney General Never Intended to
 Prosecute the Church Dignitaries

That he never had any intention of prosecuting anyone for bringing wine into Arizona for sacramental purposes, is the substance of a dis claimer filed by Attorney General Will ey Jones in the federal court at Tue son. This is expected to result in the dismissal of an application for an in junction filed by Father Connolley, of the Catholic church, a year ago.
 The injunction was sought to re- strain the attorney general and coun- ty attorneys from taking any steps to prosecute persons importing wine for religious sacraments. It was expect ed that the case would be brought up before Judge William H. Sawtelle to- day but Assistant Attorney General Leslie c. Hardy, who is now in Tue son, notified his chief this morning that the case would probably be post poned.
 Attorney General Jones was in Tue son last Saturday and he filed de- claration to the effect that he never intended CT threatened to prosecute persons bringing in wine for church services. He went even farther and said that he had always been of the opinion that the importation of wine for such purposes was not prohibited by the Arizona constitution.
 This is no. longer a matter of contro- versy . since the supreme court has held that liquor can be imported for personal use.
 The Attorney general has written Bishop Henry Granjin of the Catholic diocese of Arizona, informing him of the action that he took Saturday Copies of the letter have been sent to all churches in the state that use wine in sacraments.

VILLA VICTIM GOES
 ID OHIO
Mrs. J. J. Moore Fought Three Villa
 Bandits; Husband Was Killed.

FL PASO, March 15-Mrs. J. J. Moore, wife of the rancher who was killed by Villistas in their retreat from Columbus, and who was wounded in the left leg by pistol shot, left for Ohio Monday afternoon. Since the day following the tragedy on the bor- der Mrs. Moore has been at Hotel Dieu and, because of her nerv- ous condition and the constant fear she would be attacked by Mexicans, friends arranged that she be sent to her people in Bucyrus, Ohio.
 Mrs. Moore told Miss Treva Blair of Fl Paso that she and MT. Moore had watched the battle in town from their front porch and that, when the retreat occurred, they had gone into the house and locked the door.
 Moore Killed
 Mexicans then rode up to the house and called Moore out, she said. The door, which had a safety attachment closed behind him and while he stood on the porch he was killed.
 ''The Mexicans then broke through a window and the next thing I knew I was fighting with three of them," she said T do not know wrat hap pened then-nor do I know who the MeXicans were, save that among those that rode up to the house were sev- eral Mexicans had seen about Colum- bus, especially one who was hunch- back"
 Mrs. Moore said that several rings had been torn from her hands, but that her diamonds had been placed in matchbox and were not discovered by the bandits. She also said that her silveEware had been hid in a box back of the bath tub and that this was overlooked.
 The ranch house where Moore was killed is two miles south of Columbus and between that town and the bor- der. It was directly in line with the Villa retreat. When the American sol diers returned to camp they found Mrs. Moore in the field, where she was unconscious. She was carried into the house and an ambulance later carried her to Columbus.

THE UNITED STATES WILL NOT FAlTER NOW
tOOuglas InternatiOnaIO


 The United States troops are going to Mexico to capture Pancho Villa; that is the order and whatever the cost or the number of men required for this order it must be carried out According to the reports from Wash ington yesterday the agreement of tIc president to have the Carran a forces to cross into the United States in pursuit of bandits that may go from the United States to Mexico and commit depredations was receiv- ed with favor by Gen. Carranza. Carranza is the one man who can prescribe the activities of the Ameri- can forces in Mexico. They go under orders to capture Villa. Other duties could De added to the invading force should occasion arise demanding that. If Carranza orders his forces to CO., operate with the United States in the co pture of Villa then the friendship of .ic tive Eetions should remain undis- turbed. If Carranza or any one under his control should in any way inter- fere or prescribe the actions of our troops in Mexico, then there would be more trouble and the purposes of the United States in Mexico would be enlarged.
 Let IS hope that the accomplish ment of the present purpose of the Mexico invasion may be accomplished without the disturbance of the present friendly feeling of this country in Mexico. <.SEAES
