INSANE sElGrEN IS
 TAKEN TO PHOENIX

Deputy Sheriff Allie Howe return cd to Tombstone yesterday from Phoenix. where he went to place A. Von Hurle, an insane Belgian. in the state ~asyIul. Von Hurle caused considerable excitement on a train al Benson Saturday night by draw ing revolver and threatening to commit murder. The revolver was taken away from him and the com bined efforts of four men finally suf- feed to OyerpOwer him.
 He was brought 10 Tombstone and placed in straisht-jacket While being taken into the superior court room Monday for his hearing von Hurle vigorously fought on half a dozen officials but was at last over. powered. He was adjudged insane and ordered taken to the state asy.

Last night near Huachuca Siding. Sheriff Harry C. Wheeler and Con stable Lafe Gibson captured another automobile containing a sack of wbis- key, only after the occupant had overturned his auto and escaped in the darkness. Most of the hotties were broken from the accident. and the remainder was brought to Tomb- stone by the Sheriff. It seems to be an understanding among the bootIep. eing fraternity to desert their care when caught, in order to avoid ar- rest, knowing that when claim is made the machine. under the law will have to be returned. A pood move for the legislature would ba ,o pass a law that all cars abandoned while carrying booze. can be conss- cated and sold at public auc,;on such an act would meet with approv. al not only from the officers b,,t fron the people in general.

COUNTY COURT
 HOUSE FIGURES

rioENIX, Feb. [ Maricopa conn tv court house held as many book keepers as it held attaches yssier- day. Every one connected with an office was out with his pad and pen cil figuring if his salary were reduc- ed twenty-five or fifty per month how much the total loss by year world be. On the other hand the gain to certain salaried officials was also a mathematical problem and when it was finally determined, the lucky ones were tormented with the fact that they did not know whether cop per or rubber was the best bet.
 On the whole consternation reish- ed in the building.
 Under the classification act of 1912
 ounty officers have been drawing salaries which may prove to be un- provided for by law. An act of the legislature of 1901 fixed the saiaries of certain officials and those nor fixed by law were to be fixed by the board of supervisors. Since the 1912 act has been declared uncons.i- tutional the county will either revert to the 1901 law or receive relief from the legislature. It is generally be lieved the legislature will act in the matter.
 According to the supreme court ruling. there will be cut of $500 in the salary of the county attorney. The clerk and assistant clerk of the board of supervisors will be out of luck to the extent of s25 each a month. The sheriff will have a raise of sl000. but his deputies will not fare so well having their salaries re duced s25, while the chief deputy will lose all of $50 a month. The treasurer's salary will be cut S200 also his deputy. while there is nc provision for any clerks. The dep uties in the office Of the clerk Of the superior court also come under the heading of those who will be reduc ed. Practically every office will be affected unless legislation is enact ed

CAPTURE WHiSkEY AFTER FIGHT

Capturing over 1900 bottles of con traband whiskey only after the man who had introduced it had fired six shots at them. and escaped in the darkness, was the experience of Sheriff Harry C.. Wheeler and Con stable Lafe Gibson of Gleeson. east of San Simon Sunday night.
 The Sheriff and Deputy Gibson were on the trail of bootleggers near the New Mexico line Sunday when they encountered a large auto com ing toward them about dusk from the direction of Lordsburg. Block ing the road the two officers called to the driver to halt. Obeying or ders the driver stopped quickly and jumped out of the machine before it had come to a stand still fired six shots at the officers at close  range and escaped leaving his car and cargo of contraband behind Fortunately none Of the shots took effect, all going wild. while the off cers did not shoot at the fleeing man, whom they could have killed easily. The auto, which was big Mitchell Six, and whiskey. were taken pos session of. after a search for the fug- tive in the vicinity had been with out result, and the whiskey was brought to Tombstone and destroyed yesterday afternoon by theSheriff and two deputies in public. Having gone to the scene in Sheriff Wheel CTS auto it was apparent that to get back to Tombstone with both ma- chimes. that Gibson, who had never had wheel in his hand should drive OhN oi th'h- .Not tut UfSt thing about the car. which is a pow erful one, after instructions from the Sheriff, Constable Gibson climbed in and made a two hundred mile trip without mishap, feat upon which he was highly and deservedly com. plimented by Sheriff Wheeler.
 The mans identity could not be as- certained up to today. while the au. tomobile is being held by the Sheriff. and one of the largest hauIs of con. traband liquor has been made, the officers escaping without a scratch under narrowing circumstances, and doing themselves credit by not re. turning the fire to kill. which they could have easily done.
