Mythical Man Tells Mythical
 Tale of lBisbee Kanganroo Court

A character declared to be myth icaI spent real money yesterday on a telegram to Governor Campbell complaining of the court procedure at Bisbee, that is, the procedure Of that summary tribunal which has been called the Kangaroo court" meaning the committee of citizens which meets at stated periods to determine regardinG the desirability of persons as residents.
 A telegram signed by "Clint Thomas" said; Game from Colum- bus today, was requested to report at kangaroo court at il a. m. Did not see right man, so have to go back Tuesday, August IA, 1917." By the words to "go back" it is uncer- tain whether Thomas meant that he was to attend another session of the Kangaroo court" or to return to Columbus.
 On receipt of this telegram Gov ernor Campbell, before his departure for Tucson, repeated it to Sheriff Harry Wheeler of Cochise county with request for report upon the alleged occurrence.
 A telegram from the sheriff yes terday said: No kangaroo court in Bisbee. Nobody here knows of Clint Thomas. No record of him. One man, Smith, asked for the commit tee yesterday. Nobody else. Think wire to you was a mistake

EXEMP TED, BUT
 WANTS T0 GET
 IN U. {. ARMY

A new angle to military exemption developed yesterday when Neri Os- born, Jr., secretary of the Phoenix fire department wrote to the federal dis trict exemption board asking if he could not serve in the new national army, even if the City of Phoenix, through it's city manager, Robert A. Craig, had asked that all firemen drafted be exempted on grounds pro- vided in the federal draft laws.
 Osborn has been anxious to get into the military service and was accepted yesterday Then he learned that there was a chance of him being exempted on general request. based on the fed eral law concerning firemen.
 Osborn's letter to J. L. B. Alexander, chairman of the federal district eX- emption board, in text, follows:
 It is my understanding that the Phoenix city manager MT Rob- ert A. Craig, has claimed exemp-
 tion for the members of the PhOe- nix fire department on the grounds of the technical training required
 for the efficient performance of their duties While l agree with
 him in his claim that the work of a fireman is of utmost importance
 in the preservation of property in
 his community, and that under the
 rulings so far made by Provost
 Marshal General Crowder of the
 United States war department, the
 older men in point of seniority in
 professional fire departments will
 be exempted from military duty, still it is my personal desire to offer
 my services to my country, as l
 can conceive of no other higher
 duty than in times like the present.
 I would therefore request that your honorable board in considering
 the claim for exemption made for
 the Phoenix fire department would
 treat as waived any claim which I
 personally may have to such eX-
 emption on account of my affilia-
 tion with that department
