Assaulting q Jail
 Not OHense for A
 Court to Recognize

The Superior court of Yavapai county, State of Arizona, is not to be bothered with minor matters, and the case of Fred Smith, brought up from the justice court in Jerome, charged with felony such as dam aging the town jail of that place, was heartfully heaved out of court yes terday morning.
 Smith, 1t seems, got polluted and became so numerous upon the public streets of Jerome that he was placed in the town lookup. Smiths state of exhiliration did not subside on thus being confined to quarters, and with the two stouts boots of him, he be- gan a felonious (according to the Jerome authoritics) assault on the person of said jail The exact extent of the harm he did to the structure with his hobnails, was never disclos- ed. Suffice 1t that he did operate painfully on the property of the well known mining town. He was haled before the justice of the peace, charg- ed with a felony and bound over to await the action of the highest tri- bunal in the county.
 Assaulting a jail is an entirely new crime to add to the calendar, but the precedent established yesterday will probably relegate all future offenses of that sort to lower court.

LESKOUSKY ON HIS F|NAL
 JOURNEY
TWICE ESCAPED MURDER FER TAKEN BY PENN SYLVANLA OFFICERS; HE GOES BACK TO THE ELECTRIC CHAIR.

Martin LeskouSky, convicted mur- derer, twice escaped from the clutch of the law, began his last journey on earth this morning, in company with District Attorney C. c. Setzer and Detective Daniel Thomas of Carbon county, Penn.
 Leskousky, who escaped the last time from the Carbon county jail in 1909, was apprehended by Deputy Sheriff Fred Hawkins at Jerome two weeks ago, and since that time, has been kept in the local county jail. Setzer and Thomas arrived on the late train from Phoenix last night, saw their man in the jail, identified him. partly by his general appearance and partly by means of a scar on his side, and after signing the necessary pa pers with Under Sheriff Robinson, departed whence they came.
 It was while awaiting sentence in the Carbon county Superior court for the murder of Mary Yanatchick, his landlady. that Leskousky made his second escape. His first followed shortly his conviction and occurred while an appeal of his case was being taken to the Supreme court, which later sustained the sentence. So, he goes back to Pennsylvania to sit in the electric chair.
 Lcskouskv was taken after his first escape in Butte, Montana. He is a miner, and was employed in the Little Daisy, when he suffered an accident which broke seven ribs. He is still in bad way from this hurt. but when summoned from his bed last night, made no murmur. He waived extra dition, but to make sure, Setzer se- cured papers from Governor Camp bell, which he presented to the sher- iff's office.

 When housewives found peddlers selling onions at Is cents a pound, potatoes at 9 and 10 cents, they mobbed them, smashed their push carts and tore the clothing from their backs.
 Hundreds of pcddlers locked their carts in their stables and suspended business.
 Hartigan said the situation demands the establishment by congress of a food control commission to meet the per capital consumption of food in the United States" He said: The abnormal exportation of foodstuffs, and their sub-normal production arc the underlying causes in the advance of prices. There is abundant evidence of speculation in canned goods"

Make it Costly To Jump Bail for TWo
 Chinamen

Traffic in drugs of the prohibited sort is not to be indulged in lightly henceforth. The bonds of two local Chinese, accused of peddling opium have been fixed at S2,000 apiece, which was supplied in each case, and the preliminary hearings are to be held before United States Commis- sioner F. L. Haworth tomorrow after noon at o'clock.
 Ching Wy and Lee Ling are the alleged posscssors of opium in these cases. Commissioner Haworth stat ed yesterday that recently a number of such cases had been brought up in Arizona and that instead of remain ing to face the music, the cclestials had lit out, leaving bondsmen to cough up sums ranging up to Sl 900, The practice is to be dealt with, ac- cording to instructions to all com missioners, by fixing the bail high enough to discourage, more or less, the habit of jumping and charging the amount up to profit and loss.
 Opium traffic is highly remuner- alive, and such a matter as thou sand or so in bail or fines, does not cut much figure with the traffcker.
