LET the Elks and Masons take
charge of the funeral" he said to his
sister. Then he turned to his bust

would rally and no one could predict
the outcome
On January s.. however, his system
broke down entirely and from then on
it was question merely of time.

called to his bedside.
Colonel Cody soon showed improve

January he suffered nervous col
lapse and his physicians hurried him
back to Denver. For years he had been

Yesterday the woman whom he wronged declared that after he had , been prosecuted to the full extent of
 the law on the bigamy charge she
 would advise the federal authorities
 that he was a stacker.

 that he was a bigamist that prompted
 him to leave me at noon the day after

 This is the question that is baffling
 the officers who have been weeks in tracing the former Aio miner. There is a theory that he may have married
 Mrs. Dossett thinking she had money, and that after securing what funds she had he decided to leave the country to escape the stacker charges that he feared

 the summer months. She had heard ! rumors that Foster already was mar ried, but when he proposed to her and made plans for their wedding she gave 1 the gossip no further thought After Foster made his getaway she
 aided the officers in every possible
 way to locate the wanted man. Depu- ty Sheriff Harry De Winton traced him to Mesa on stage. From there Eos ter took the train back to Tempe and left there shortly afterward for the
 coast. He was traced from San Diego to Fresno, and for a time all trace
 was lost, until yesterday when he was

 O'Neill at Gila Bend. Deputy Sheriff l Ira Spears of Ajo is woring on the | stacker end of the case, it is under l stood.
 Foster said he would plead guilty if the charge against him was reduced 1 but the authorities say he is or he is not bigamist, and there the matter stands at present.

 The Jewish New Year is known by different names, and each expresses something of it's spiritual significance. Numbers xxx, l, designates it as The Cay of Blowing the Trumpet (Shofar)" New Year occurs in the autumn, when the falling leaf and fad ing flower turn mans mind to serious reflection and sounds the admonitory message: Awake, and ponder your deeds: remember your creator: returf1 to Him in penitence.

NJ Gage of New Berlin. N. Y., also wants to know about burros, and he has written to Secretary Smalley of the state council of defense for further particulars regarding the Arizona nightingales.
