exchanged the pig to Mccormick The
 defendant, noting that Judge Jones
 was about to hold him guilty on this
 charge also, asked to be allowed to
 tell all about the pig. He was listen
 ed to with interest; but his story sounded so "fishy' that everybody
 had to smile. The more he talked the more he wound a web of guilt about himself
 But, to cap the climax, he swore he had just that day received tele- gram from friend in Ajo advising him to come there at once to protect his mining claim. It was difficult for him to remember his friends name, but he finally did so. He had torn up the telegram, however. The court took a recess long enough to get Mgr Dave Inman of the Western Union to appear with his record. This proved that Mccormick had not received any such telegram. And that settled his hash. He had said he was taking the undressed pig to Ajo because fresh meat is scarce in Ajo," and the reasonsI why he had not cleaned the pig was because he didn't want to mess up' 1 the jitney, under the rear seat of ! which the sheriff found the dead ami ! mal
 Mccormick didn't have a word to i say when Judge Jones pronounced him guilty and gave him 90 days or DO dollars.

that he was in captivity many, many years
 In due course of time he became a valuable adjunct to Gen. Cooks troops, but finally drifted into civilian i life.
 In this latter capacity he was al 1 ways known as hard worker at what ever he undertook, nor did it matter with him what kind of work he en- gagged in, so long as it was honest, hard work. He lived at various times in the larger cities of California, such as Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco; but he always considered Yuma his home.
 Here he was known sa a man of sterling character, whose word was as good as the bond of bank. Honesty was his guiding star No man ever knew Joe Mandevil to be deceitful, or to misrepresent the facts.
 In the later years of his life he al ways expected to strike it rich" in his mine near Picacho, but he didn't live long enough to see his dream realized.
 The tales he used to tell his many friends of what occurred when he was in captivity with the Indians In Mexi- co were calculated to make ones hair stand on end, and those who knew him best never doubted the absolute correctness of his narratives.
 But poor old Joe Is gone His friends deeply mourn his death, and | here in Yuma that means everybody | who knew him.
 Peace to his ashes.
 Several sons survive and will be | present at the funeral which will take place tomorrow.

the title, hence causing it to
 carry no appropriation. The other undesirable feature of this bill which was changed by the legislative committee
 was making the amount of
 money which could be leg
 ally appropriated by counties
 for helpin gdefray the ex- penses of county farm advi- Sors, $1,00O. In several in- stances this is greatly handi- capping this line of work, which is proving so benefi- cial to the agriculture. of the State.
 The loss of the anticipated $1, 700 for this year and the additional sum for next year is serious one to the far of the State. The Agri- cultural Extension Service, through which these funds are expended, is carrying on this work entirely for the benefit of the farmers and at their request, and is at pres ent unable to meet the con- stant demands of the farmers for information, advice and assistance. If the farmers of the State wish the agircultur- al extension work carired on 50 as to meet their require nentS, they will have to see o it that the next legisla- ure provides ample funds for his work.

NAN WITH PIG HAD
 INTERESTING TRIAL
(By B. F. Fly) From, Tom, the Piper's son; He stole a pig and away he run

J. H. Mccormick, who with a part ner named Halpin, has been stopping for the past week with Sheriff Green lead, had two trials before Judge J. c. Jones this morning, and was stuck in each case.
 Mccormick and Halpin are the two individuals who last week reached Yuma with a Ford jitney loaded with whiskey. They had a falling out, the result being that Mccormick dumped all the whiskey out on the sidewalk, notified the officers where it was and then went back to the Bard side of the river, where he camped all night at Billy Horns camp, left there the next day when Billy was absent, and on the next day was caught by Sheriff Greenleaf at Done.
 When the jitney was searched, in- stead of finding a blind pig" the sheriff fonud a dead pig that was so oderiferous that he and the Dome con- stable rolled it into the Gila river, but not until Mccormick had said Billy Horn had given it to him.
 In the case against him this morn ing, wherein he was charged with having brought whiskey into the state for other than personal use," he was very prOmpetly held to the superior court in $4O0 bonds.
 Then came the charge of having brought stolen property into the state. Billy Horn was on hand and testified i that he had neither given, sold nor

BURGESS NASH CO.
AT ANNUAL PICNIC
Five Hundred Employees of De-

Outing at Krug Park.
PLENTY OF FUN FOR ALL

The BurgeSs-Nash store seemed to
be changed suddenly into Turkish
bazaar yesterday afternoon as the
clock struck S. Everywhere were seen
men and women, boys and girls wear
ing red fezzes on their heads. On
closer examination the gold lettering
revealed the legend, "BurgesS-Nash

1t was the hour of the annual picnic
given by the company to its 500 en-
ployes. In a few moments the big
brass band was boom-itty-coming-
way, out in front of the store, under
the leadership of Mr.. Barton and Six
teenth street was full of pretty girls
and mere men and boys, all with
fezzes on their heads and tickets in
their hands.
These tickets had been distributed
to all the employees. They were long,
coupon things, like a railroad ticket
from Omaha to San Francisco with a
side trip to the Grand Canyon and
stopovers at Winnemucca. Albu,
querque and WaIla Walla. But, my
Tickets like these couldn't be toe
long. One coupon admitted you to the
park, one rejoiced the inner man with
a box lunch, lemonade and ice cream
others admitted to the delights of the

mill and such like.
The Special Cars.
Well, eight big open cars finally
drew around the curve and stopped ir
front Of the store. And soon they were
whizzing Krug parkward With the
happy crowd, the band booming away
and the folks singing song about

In due time the eight carloads ar.

Deutschland Built
Within Six Months

Berlin, July l8.-(Via London.)-
Commercial submarines may assume
considerable importance in German
American trade during the remainder
of the war, according to the Bremen
correspondent OF the Koelnische lei
tung. The freight earnings of the
Deutschland were so great that the
vessel was paid for out of the profits
of its first voyage. 1t is expected,
therefore, that many Others will be
built.
The correspondent does not give the
date when the Deutschland was be-
gun, but intimates that it was built in
less than six months. He adds that
the company which built the suma-
rine is being flooded with requests
to accept freight. One exporter wants
room for 10000 casks of beer, and
many wish to send letters. Postal
facilities, however, probably will not
be extended.
