PIMA INDIANS
WILL HARVEST
MESQUITE BEANS

SACATON, Ariz., May 11.-Over 250
Pima Indian children have pledged
their services in the harvesting of the
mesquite bean crop in this district as
a result of the personal appeal of DR..
Mary Neff of Phoenix, who recently ad-
dressed the Indians on this subject.
The old women of the reservation will
also join in the movement for harvest
ing the mesquite bean crop. In the past
the Indians used the mesquite beans
for flour and frequently lived on them
for weeks at a time. The younger In
dians however, have never gathered
the beans, and allowed them to go to
waste. The beans are said to make
valuable horse feed and are good food
for hogs, COWS and other stock. They
may be made into poultry food, it is
believed. The matter of finding mar
ket for the beans in the Salt River
Valley is being taken up by the flour
mills and packing houses in Phoenix
and investigation as to the manner in
which they can be used to supplement
the food supply is being made.

First Arizona Lynchine in Thirty Years

First Arizona Lynching in Thirty Years
Takes Place in Pinal County
FLORENCE STATION, Ariz., May
11.-vane Ashmore, alias Starr Daley,
was lynched by band Of masked men
at four o'clock last Sunday morning
at the spot near Weeks Camp where
on last Thursday night Ashmore mur-
dered James Ray Gibson and after
compelling his wife to disrobe sub
jected her to repeated outrages The
lynching followed a terrific chase of
the sheriff's car in which Daley was
being spirited to the state prison at
Florence and was the first to occur in
Arizona in the last thirty years.
Ashmore was taken from the sher-
iff's deputies at Florence Station, two
miles from the state prison after mid
night road race in which hundreds of
cars packed with armed men par
ticipated. The race started at Phoe-
nix when Ashmore was taken from the
Maricopa county Jail by Sheriff Wilky,
who feared that repeated threats of
lynching would be carried out. The
car carrying Ashmore and the deputies
left the Jail at 1870, and fifteen min
utes later fully 100 cars took up the
chase, which led south across the Salt
river and out across sixty five miles
of rough desert road to Florence. Hard
pressed by their pursuers the deputies
turned their car aside into the brush at
watched car after car dash by. They
then started to return to Phoenix but
saw that escape would be impossible
owing to the number of cars coming
from the capital city so continued their
journey to Florence.
Ashmore was taken from the dep
uties at three o'clock Sunday morning
at Florence Station by a band of
masked men who had arrived at the
station a few minutes ahead of the
deputies The deputies were then or
dered to return to Phoenix, which they
did. Ashmore was taken to the scene
of the crime and hanged. On the road
back to the place where he paid the
penalty he is said to have confessed
to large number of crimes.
The coroners jury which was i'm
panelled at Florence rendered a ver-
dict of death from hanging at the
hands of unknown parties probably
from Maricopa county,"

GERMAN SPY
IS ARRESTED
At SAN PEDRO

HAYDEN, Ariz., May 11.-At last the
local police believe they have located
real German spy. Last week a
stranger, calling himself William Fra
zier, but speaking with pronounced
German accent, established himself in
San Pedro, the Mexican part of the
town. Before long it became ru-
mored that this man was making in
cendiary speeches and in other ways
endeavoring to incite the Mexican pop
ulation to acts of violence doubtless
with "a view to injuring the concen-
trating plant here. Efforts were at
once made to arrest him, but for some
time he eluded capture. The dragnet
was put out, and the deputies secured
the town, with the final result that
Frazier was apprehended and lodged
in Jail.
FraZiers solitary and secluded place
of residence in San Pedro was visited,
and it is said that suitcase was found
there filled with enough plans and in
eliminating documents to cause the de-
tention of twenty spies, if arrested with
them. 1t has been anticipated for
some time that some emissary of the
German faction in Mexico would make
his appearance here or at the mines, so
that this incident has occasioned no
surprise. Frazier" is being held for
action by the Federal authorities.

The Miners went out to stop those
fast playing Millers last Sunday. From
the time the Ray boosters led a goat
around the diamond with the placard
reading 1--WE have Johnson's goat until
"Boils" Tobin smacked a nasty single
down the third base line, scoring Ton
neman in the ninth session, it was one
of the hardest fought games ever
played on the local lot.
Delhi and Johnson were the opposing
mound artists with Tonneman and
Carish doing the receiving.

like Job of old, had many boils on his
head. consequently Nick Demaggio

sythe made his debut in right. Let it
be stated that debut is a good word in
this case and Cy overworked it. He
only got three singles out of four trips
to the plate and took care Of three
chances in the garden, two of them
hard ones. Yes, Cy is in very solid
with the fans.
It looked like the Millers were going
to annex their fifth straight game when
they copped two counters in the first.

right field fence for a home run.

The visitors forged ahead once more

The town boys made it three all in the

NOTES OF THE GAME

Meloan's home run in the first was
hard drive to right. The ball hit on
top of the fence and bounced over
