Policeman. let us go home and feed our little baby brother he hasn't had anything to eat since yesterday morn ing at ' o'clock sobbed little Mary Sato. aged :. in police station this morning to Officer c. Mervyn Moore. Mary's mamma had been arrested on the charge of introducing liquor into Arizona and little Mary seemed even more concerned about it than her mother. though the woman wept si- lently. Edna. aged ,, was too small to realize the serousness of the sit nation. though sne knew something was wrong. Her big brown eyes looked very troubled and she begged her mamma not to cry so hard.
 A few minutes later Mrs. Sato and her two little girls dried ther tears when Deputy Sheriff C. E. CrCss took them to a local cafe for Dre ikfast. Then they were turned over to Deputy Sheriff Percy Bowden to be taken to the county iail The woman ana male companion were arrested at 4 o'clock this morning in Silver Creek by Constable J. s Kerby and Deputy Sheriff Frank Homan. They were riding in an automobile that contained 12 cases of whiskey, one case of gin and barrel and half of bottled beer The auto mad flat tire and fell an easy victim to the officers.

 If the story told ny Mrs. Sato. who is an Austrian, is true, it shows to what extent some bOotleggers will go to get liquor and yet avoid the risk of being arrested themselves. She lives in Lowell and her husband was formerly a miner but tor the past two years has been unable to work. Dur ing this time she has made a pre- carious living by washing and doing any other work she could obtain, but lately has been unable to get enough work to make a living.
 The other day two Of her country men offered her s1e if she would go to Rodeo in company with a chauf feur. also an Austrian, who was paid $50, and bring back some liquor. Needing the money badly she lccept ed the offer, not realizing the serious ness of the crime, so she says. The three months old baby boy was left at home with the sick father, and the two little girls accompanied their mother They left Lowell yesterday on the expedition which ended so dis astrously this morning

 It is possible the woman may be let off easy if she will tell who hired her. The man is trying to avoid re- sponsibility on the ground that he was merely a hired chauffeur. The car, which is a new Studebaker Six, is in local garage and the whiskey is stored here.
 A delegation of a dozen or more Austrians. residents of Lowell. arrived in Douglas at 11:30 this morning to come to the aid of their countrymen who are in trouble. When they learned the two prisoners had been taken to Tombstone they immediately left for there.

Paterson. In all there were 22 cases of whiskey. most of it Atherton, some in cases and some loose. The men claim they were taking the whiskey to Cananea.
