MRS. KNAPP TOO
 MUCH FUR CITY

Because neighbors testified that she received company while attired only in a night dress which the neigh bors could see right through" and that this company" who happened to be q Chinaman in business in Mesa, was seen to leave at o'clock or 4 o'clock in the morning, Mrs. Victoria Knapp, recently occupying part of house at 1920 East Mckin- ley street, will have to spend the next p days in the city jail, and this may extend to fifty days if she does not pay a fine of $25 also imposed. This all happened in police court yester- day afternoon, when the young woman, who by her speech indicates her foreign birth, faced two women accusers. There was a preponderance of evidence against Mrs. Knapp who endeavored to convince Judge Thomas
 that she wore a white middy blouse, white skirt, white stockings and white shoes at the time she was reported
 to have been wearing only trans | lucent nigntgown.
 On more than one occasion, so the
 neighbors said, the Mesa Celestial called at the rooms of Mrs. Knapp. And as there were other people hV- ing in the same house. and as the
 walls were especially thin, the con versations, so the witnesses said. ! were of a kind which conveyed a | very definite idea of what was hap pening in the room where Mrs. Knapp and the Chinese merchant were to-

 Nelson, who is better known as "Whitie,' attends the Monroe school. When he appeared yesterday before his teacher with his hand ponderously bandaged, White" was met with sympathetic concern on the part of the instructress, which placed him in a dilemma from which he was able to extricate himself only after he had performed surgical operation.
 Possessed of an inherent distaste for the flowery path of knowledge, "Whi- tie" if the truth must be told, resorted to deception. His teacher, however, had implicit faith in his veracity, and actually believed that the bandaged member was injured She therefore called up a physician and instructed White" to report for first aid treat ment.

 installation of a small crusher and a

 the methods of concentration to be
 employed by the larger mill the com-

 whom the new fifty-ton mill was re-

 from Denver after seeing the equip ment safely aboard the cars, came
 down from the property a day or two ago and returned yesterday morning
 He spent day or two here arranging for the exhibit. Incidentally he sent
 to Denver for his son, William E. Bry- an who will have charge of the dem onstration plant at the fair.
 In all respects, the mill at the fair will be on the same order as that at the property excepting that it will be on a smaller scale and further that the ores will be hand-sized instead of by the process employed in the Bryan me chanical sizer. An average grade of ore will be brought here for concentra- i tlOH lOF the DeHeI1t and edlflcatIOn of fair visitors. Competent mining men will perform the work and there will be others there to explain the pro- cesses and the uses of yanadium, the ! importance of which has grown many times over since the United States en- tered the great war.
 Manager Bryan announced while here that he has a force of men exca-
 vating at the site of the mill to be erected and that large quantities of { timber cement and other necessities i for the preliminary work are already i on the ground or at Erman siding. He : eXpecttd to find that one or two car loads of mill equipment had arrived
