DOC PARDEE ON TRIAL;
 CHARGED WITH AIDING HOLDOP

c. w. (Doc) Pardee, cowboy and wild west expert, was placed on trial in the United States dis trict court in Prescott before Judge William Sawtelle this week on a charge of attempting to aid Joe Davis, convicted train robber, to escape from the Prescott county jail.
 A letter written by Davis to Pardee asking Doe" to smuggle a saw into the prisoner, is in the hands of the prosecution. Pardee admits receiving the letter, but de- clares he did not comply with the request contained in it.
 Pardee is a liveryman of Pres colt. He is known as one of the best riders and ropers in the south west, and was director of the Wild West features of the Southern Arizona fair last fall.
 Davis was convicted of train rob bery before Judge Sawtelle in Pres colt two weeks ago. He and Jeff Spurlock, convicted with him, are now serving sentences of twenty five years each at the federal peni- tentiary on McNeil's Island.

GREENLEE SOLONS
 BACK FROM CAPITAL
State That the Most Important Piece of Legislation Enacted Was the Creation of State Commission to Manage State Institutions.
representatives

Greenlee County's representatives in the Third Legislature returned to their homes this week after a sixty day session in Phoenix. Hon. w. D.. Whipple, State Senator, returned by rail on Saturday afternon last and Hon. G. L.. Coffee and Frank Me Grath, of Franklin, returned on Mon day evening, coming via the Roosevelt dam and Globe by auto in company with State Engineer Lamar Cobb.
 That the Greenlee County represen- tatives acquitted themselves in a |creditable manner is the concensus of opinion among their constituents and the press of the state speaks of them in highly complim entary manner.
 In the opinion of Senator Whipple and Representative Coffee the most important piece of legislation enacted by the Third Legislature was the bill creating a State Commission to sue ceed the present Board of Control. This commission, composed of three citizens of the state, will devote their entire time and attention to the man. agement of all state institutions and will receive an annual salary of three thousand dollars each. When the next legislature convenes this com
 
 needed appropriations for each insti tuition for the next two years. Sena tor Whipple is of the opinion that this bill will save the taxpayers of the state $200,000 in the management Of state institutions annually.
 Bills passed by the Legislature of special interest to Greenlee county was the establishment of a game pre- serve in the northern part of the coun ty, on the Apache Forest Reserve, and a bill introduced by Representative Coffee providing for the construction of a bridge across the Gila near Gil lard Hot Springs, the cost to be borne one-half by Greenlee county and one half by the state. The expense of holding the session of the Third Legislature was less than any proceeding state legislature by several thousand dollars
