Strained FEELING
BETWEEN TWO TOWNS

YUMA, Sept 2l-According to A.
ID. Putnam. the we'll known cotton
buyer, who visited Calexico and Mex
icali the latter part of last week.
there has recently been more or less
trouble between the Mexicans and
Americans OF these two places rela-
tive TO the flags Of the United
States and Mexico. He says that
autos from the American side OF the
line fly the stars and stripes and that
the Mexican autos do the same thing
relative to their flag These autos
carry passengers across the line. and
lately. from some unknown cause
the Mexicans at Mexicali have been
tearing the United States nag on
American cars which enter the place
Mr. Putnam said that last Saturday.
in retaliation. some Americans in
CalexicO commenced to strip the
Mexican nag of cars which crossed
from MeXicali into the American city.
Il saw four free-for-all fights over
this thing in Caiexico Saturday" said
Mr.. Putnam, "and il seemed to me
that feeling ran pretty high He
also stated that while in Mexicali he
thought he detected a disposition on
the part of Mexicans 20 deride Ameri-
cans.

young men have crossed the line into
unfrequented parts near Nogales and
gone into Sonora and are making
their way south toward Hermisillorb

Southern Pacific OF Mexico railroad
which runs south from Nogales, in
formed him that the freight crews
were having trouble with the men
trying to beat their way south. and

Bisbee yesterday 10 bid goodbye to
the Tombstone boys who entrained
yesterday for Fort Riley. Kansas. and
il is with a degree OF pride that
Tombstone should be proud of her
representation of young men that
went TO the front yesterday.
Although il rained hard during the
afternoon. this did not serve TO damp
en- the ardOr OF the thousands that
gathered to bid farewell TO their
loved ones and friends. The sob
staff" and dirge music, said to have
existed al the first send OF several
weeks ago was conspicuous by its
absence yesterday and everyone kept
up a continuous round OF jollity the
boys being in a happy mood.
For two days before departure the
Cochise county boys were royalty en-
tertained by the people OF the War
rem district and when the train pull
ed out at 30 last night amid cheers
and the blast OF whistles in the dis
trici, the boys were convinced that
they will not be forgotten by their
relatives and people OF the county at
large.
One of the chief topics OF CONVEX
sation before the departure of the
train was the probable desertion Of
W. A Shattuck. son Of Lem W. Shat
tuck. the big mine operator and
owner OF Bisbee. and unless he has
joined the contingent before il reach
ed FL PasO. he will be branded as a
deserter. and IL is said that a rep
resentatiye OF the department Of JUS
tice told the father that unless the
boy reported by O'Clock yesterday
he would be declared deserter and
would never be allowed 10 come back
TO the United States without being
subject TO punishment which could
include death. Young Shattutk is
said TO have fed to Mexico.
The last man The Prospector rep
resentative said goodbye TO yesterday
was Jerry Holland. and when he
said; Goodbye. Jerry. may you have
a pleasant trip and you and all the
boys come back to us. just as you
leave us today" Jerry replied with
cunning Irish wit: You bet We will.
and We will bring back souvenirs
from Berlin. Tell the folks at home
that We are going TO make the Ger
mans take back their brag that they
were going TO make the Irish eat
sauer kraut out Of their hands" and
he turned with a smile TO say good
bye TO his sister
Just before departure OF the boys.
each man from Tombstone was pre-
scented with a beautiful and service
able wrist watch by John Walker and
wife OF Tombstone. a remembrance
that the boys from the Old Camp will
carry with them always. Charley
Schneider. speaking for the Tomb
stone boys to The Prospector re-
porter said: This is one thing that
We will always have to remember
Tombstone and our people at home
by and you don't understand how we
appreciate it from the bottom of our
hearts. and ! want you through The
Prospector to thank Mr.. and Mrs.
Walker for u.s." and saying this he
buckled his watch to his wrist and
boarded the train with jolly good
bye"
All the other Tombstone boys.
Chas. Batchelder. Tony Ciochetti.
Cole Noel. slim" Butler. Diego Gotta.
Roy Jacobson. and JEFF Glenn were
happy that they were going 10 the
front and were among those who
cheered the loudest when the train
departed.

BIG BOAT


d. A. Richardson, attorney Of Doug
las. was in the city yesterday and
drove his big gray boat" up from
the Smelter City. He says that il
he could get the Kaiser into race
over the road from Douglas to Bisbee
that he would get some worse jOlts
than he has ever gotten in the world
war Which is taken to indicate as
being Richardson's way Of saying the
bond issue should carry and the road

There will be- no parimutuel racing
in Phoenix this fall.
Judge Lyman sent the hopes OF the
racing men glimmering this morning
when he dismissed the Injunction
proceeding brought by c ID. Boyce.
restraining the Arizona state fair
commission from refusing TO com
ply with the terms Of the contract
entered into with Boyce for the use
of The fair grounds for a race meet
supported by the parimutuel ma
chimes
The case was on demurrer in Judge
Lyman's court this morning, and was
argued for the fair commission by
George Purdy Bullard. special coun-
sci. and by Attorney Whitney OF the
attorney generals Office. u. 8.
Stuckmeyer represented Boyce.
Judge Lyman holds. in effect. that
regardless OF the legality OF the con
tract itself the conduct OF a race
meet at which the parimutuel sys-
TEN is used, and where il is conduct.
ed by the same persons. is against
public policy. gambling. and consti-
tutes a public Nuisance
The supreme court held several
months ago in the Mccall case that
the use Of the pari-mutuel device did
not fall within the purview OF the
statutes against gambling. but it did
moi appear. in that case, that the Op-
eration of the system and the con-
duct OF the races was TO be under one
management. and the question OF pub
lie policy was not raised.
An interesting coincidence is in
the fact that Mr. Billiard argued the
Mccall case and established the tech
meal legality OF the contract, and has
now succeeded in having il thrown
out on entirely different grounds.
The fair commission which preced-
ed the present board entered into a
contract with c. ID. Boyce for the
, lease OF the fair grounds for the pur-
pose OF conducting a race meeting
Later the commission refused to car
ry out the terms Of the contract.
Boyce secured an injunction to COM
pei the commission to proceed with
the execution OF the contract; the
fair commission demurred. and it
was on this demurrer that the argu-
ment and decision of this morning re-
suited.
An appeal will probably be taken to
the supreme court when an opportun-
ity will be afforded to reconcile the
decisions. although 1t is pointed out

DEPUTY GAME WARDEN

day in The discharge of his official
duties. Mr.. Cosby is kept busy
making trips about the county in the
interest OF game conservation and
reports that so far he has found but
very little game violations in this
county.
by Mr.. Billiard that the earlier case
went up on stipulated Law points and
did not involve the same state Of
facts as those determined by Judge
Lyman today
The decision will be hailed with
JOY by those who have been opposing
the opening OF the Phoenix track to
the racing game, while those who
like TO see 'em go. and place a little
on the side. are correspOndingly de-
pressed.
