army, in a recent interview declared
hat only seventeen trials by court
martial had been held among the
thousands Of American troops in

were for trivialities. "Were it fully

pride in the ever-decreasing neces-
sity for resort to punitive measures

BUCKEYE WOMAN
STRUCK BY CAR

Mrs. David Ritter, wife of a rancher
living near Buckeye, is at the Arizona
Deaconness Hospital suffering from
the effects of a disiocated right Shout
der, with cuts about the head, both
arms badly bruised and the skin on the
left leg from the knee to the ankle
seriously lacerated, as a result of be-
ing struck by an Eastlake Park car on
Washington street between First and
Central avenues. The accident occurred
about o'clock yesterday afternoon
Late last evening DR.. f. Payne Palmer,
the attending physician said his patient
was resting easily.
Mrs. Ritter, who is past middle age,
had started TO cross the street in the
middle of the block. An eastbound car
was moving slowly along the street
nd the motorman, David Rand, saw
Mrs. Ritter as she stepped upon the
track The woman seemed to have am
pie time to cross the track ahead of the
car, and Rand believing she would con-
tnue on her way made no effort TO stop
the car. Those who witnessed the acct
dent say that Mrs. Ritter after cross
ing the eastbound track seemingly be-
anne confused, another car being in the
same block and moving from the oppo
site direction. She is said to have at
tempted to step back. apparently fear
ing she would be struck by the west
ound car.
In stepping back she placed herself
almost directly in front of the car driV-
en- by Rand. Although the motorman
applied the brakes and did everything
in his power to avoid striking her, the
warning the man at the motor had, was
| too short and he could not avoid strik-
ing her. AS it was, his car was nearly
| stopped when the fender came in con-
| art with the woman.
| Mrs. Ritter was thrown heavily to the
pavement but the wheels did not pass
over her.
