BENSON, CoCHIsE COUNTY, ARIZONA, AUGUST
Notice

Elias Summers has been appoint
ed game license seller for the Ben
son district. I have scattered a
number of the revised game laws
in town and will expect the hunt
ers of this vicinity to buy game
licenses and also to comply with
the law. Some people ask me if
they can hunt rabbits, etc. without
license. Better buy a license if
you want to hunt, and then you
will be safe.
Information has come to me that
some are hunting without license
and that some are killing game out
of the season. This is to notify
all that they are not complying
with the law. Read the game laws
and comply with the same, or pros
ecutions will follow

Deputy Game Warden.

The Prospector last week took a
shot at the Benson Gun Club, say
ing they had Douglas men on the
team in the last shoot, when Ben
son wiped EN- up on the range.
Well, the very idea. Benson hav-
ing to import experts to shoot
Tombstone, how does that sound !?
When the accused imported ex-
perts are in business in Benson,
shoeing horses and pointing plows,
and passed on and accepted as
members of the Benson club. This
last being the third shoot between
the teams, with Tombstone victo-
rious once. That was the time the
score card so mysteriously disap-
peared from the hand grip of one
of the members Of the Benson team
and after diligent search and in
quiry by a number of Benson boys
it was located in Fred Bennett $
barn twelve miles from Tombstone
several daye after the shoot.
The card showed that TOMB
STONE HAD WON1
The Benson club, good losers,
took their medicine because Johnny
Walker and Mr.. Almy said so.
Go shoot the the Gleason and
Court1and clubs, you Tombstone
shooters, learn to shoot, and come
this way when you feel lucky.
The paper spoke of Billy Bennett
surprising everybody at the shoot
by keeping quiet a minute and a
half When asked about it Billy
said it was owing to the shock. of
surprise occasioned by a Tomb
stone shooter making bullseye.

Get All the Sleep You Can.

A well-known physician says In the American Magazine: ITO avoid over eating and alcohol and the cigarette habit are matters of self-control. To get the sleep one needs (which means all that one can possibly soak into ones system within 24 hours) often takes courase-the courage to refuse invitations, .n invite ridicule, to seem odd or Puritanic' I believe that more minor illnesses are due to lack of sleep than to any other recognizable factor. A person catches cold, gets lumbago, is constipated or headache ridden be- cause his vitality is below par. his physical expenditure beyond his phys teal income. Sleep would set him square with the world, but 10 get sleep means sacrificing the evenings fun. This he won't do, and so he runs in debt and is chemically edging toward n breakdown"
