RHUBARB MAN RELEASED ON
PLEDGE TO BE GOOD.

". ID. Storer. the Westlake confec-
TONER who was before Probate Judge
Harris last week on charge of selling
intoxicants In the form of rhubarb
cordial or wine, was released by order
of the court ON a pledge that he would
cease TO sell the forbidden beverage
In the future. The evidence went to
show that several tests made by the
druggists of Grangeville at the instance
of the officers, had failed to disclose
any alcoholic factors in the drink.
However, a thorough analysis made
by Prof. q. g. Todd, of the Agricul-
tural College at Pullman, showed 1916
per cent of alcohol In the rhubarb con-
coction, which prohibited its sale I'M
der the laws of this state.

JEROME ROAD A GER
 TAINTY IS ANNOUNCED
(From Sundays Daily)

That a new shortline automobile road will be built between Prescott and Jerome very shortly became known yesterday. The details to be settled by the board of supervisors are few, and quick action is expected.
 Jerome people were assured by a member of the board that the road would be built just as soon as it is humanly possible to complete the sur vey and get the workmen on the grade.
 Somewhere around 40 miles will be the length of the road In all prob ability, the distance between the two cities will be driven in less than two hours over the new route, which will be laid out in such a manner as to carry a minimum of gradient and curve.
 A great deal of sentiment in favor of the new road has developed in the Jerome-Clarkdale country of late. Where Prescott good roads boosters expected some opposition, was found great readiness to cooperate.
 Details of the plan to survey and build the road have not yet been giv- en out, but the assurance of the board of supervisors that it will be put through leaves no question of the final settlement of tha. vexed prob lem of quicker auto communication between the two largest cities in the county.

BUSINESS CARES SET ASIDE FOR
 PATRIOTISM
A REV E. BALDWIN, EDUCATED IN PRESCOTT ENLISTS IN ARMY, LEAV- ING BEHIND LUCRATIVE POSITION.
(From Tuesdays Daiiv.)

It will be learned with very much interest in this community that An drew E. Baldwin, who enjoys an ex- cellent name in Prescott, has an swercd Uncle Sam's call to arms and is now in the regular army as a ser geant, assigned to the motor depart ment of the quartermaster arm of the service
 Baldwin leaves behind a lucrative business, being a member of the Los Angeles firm of the J. V. Baldwin Motor Company. This young man for many years made Prescott his home, and attended the High school of this city, and since has made ire quent trips here to visit friends. His prominent rating as business man of Los Angeles is reflected in the following commendable mention made of his enlisting by the Herald:
 "Baldwin's appointment comes as a distinct surprise, for not even his closest friends were aware of the am- bilious Andy's intentions. Although he had said many times he would jump at the chance to serve under the Stars and Stripes, little did his friends surmse that he had set his mind upon taking a military career. Though young in years, he has proved his worth as an example of the promis ing business man of tomorrow, and has successfully transacted the cares that went with his line of business. He was the secretary and treasurer of his large firm, and its affairs arc now undergoing readjustment since he has entered the army"
 Baldwin while in Prescott made many friends through his generous nature On the road in his car he would invariably stop and offer any pedestrian ride, and his many acts of kindness and consideration made him popular.
 A short time ago he evinced a keen interest to get into something where there was a chance for military ac- ton, and this disposition led him to enlist without any of his closest rela- tives or business associates being aware of his intentions until his com mission was. handed him. Baldwin goes into the army with the view of seeing service abroad.

shows the ore runs $50,000 ton.
 Sykes was a victim of Bright's dis ease. When he felt his strength slip ping, he hurriedly hammered out oi the ledge enough ore to fill his pock- cts. He started for Los Angeles selling the ore to pay his living ex- penses.
 As he was dying in Los Angeles hospital, Sykes told his story to pr. Bayless, and drew the map of that region. He failed, however, to mark the spot where the ledge was, and Bayless has employed miners hoping that they will be able to find Sykes camp, and from there trace to the point where he made the strike.
 Sykes gave the surgeon a bill of sale for the mine, in consideration of his kindness and his promise that he would have a fitting burial.
 Cummings believes he may be able to locate the ledge, but old miners of the desert shake their heads, and point to the decades that have passed since the Peg Leg and the Gunsitc, and the others that were known to have fabulous wealth, have lived only in the dreams of those who still con tinue the search.

be weighted with too much alarm, nor does 1t indicate that the civic center of Prescott is seething with what Bret Harte would term a "den wherein Crotallus reigns supreme, :" in his pretty story of the Rattle snake Bar of the Sierras."
 The Prescott reptile was killed by Jack Shull and Warren Maultby, em, ployes of the Biles-Lockhart store, and the hide is in their possession as mute evidence of the strange occur, renee.
 The rattlcs numbered seven with a button attached and the snake was over four feet long and of the black species. It showed fight and the live ly swishing of its tail left no doubt as to its identity. It was located in the gutter, peeping upward to seek a change of quarters evidently. Shull has the hide, while Maultby takes the rattles, as souvenirs of the combat The hat to be worn by Shull here after will be adorned with a snake skin band, while on the watch chain of Maultby will be seen dangling the signal which led to the death of this varmint
 It is very fortunate that this affair took place after Frontier Days were over, otherwise there might have been commotion on that street corner when thousands were witnessing events and panic of women thrown into convulsions might have followeil. The rattler was evidently cn route to the scene of big doings, and arrived just one day late for the grand finale.
