bootlegging. He came to the sheriff's office one day with a package of food for a friend who was an inmate of the county jail, and the officer took the opportunity to question him lit tie. When this was done Maher be- gan cursing the entire force, and made all kinds of threats of killing people, blowing up the buildings and everything else that he could imagine, and the officer forthwith threw him in- to jail.
 He demanded jury trial, ran his attorney out of court, and when the case was finally given to the jury they were almost five minutes in arriving at a verdict of guilty.
 He was given the maximum of 60 days for this offense, and had just completed that sentence when he was taken up on the other charge.
 During his term in the county jail he lost a good deal of his excitable disposition, and seemed to be much affected by having to face a felony charge, which is punishable by term in the penitentiary.
 Several more of the inmates have signifed their willingness to join the army, and it is very possible that they will be allowed to go to help fill the ranks.

The Kingman baseball club, besides defeating Chloride II to 5, bought a S1OO Liberty loan bond yesterday out of the funds of the club. The re- ceipts of the game, not figured up last night, are to be turned over to the local chapter of the Red Cross.
 Several hundred fans witnessed the exhibition. The heat played an inn portant part in the contest, but so far as known there were no fatalities from sunstroke.
 The game was featured by sensa- tional fielding and heavy hitting at times, both teams doing their part in these performances. At other times the contest Jagged, but not for long, as some heavy slugger would slam out the pill in the direction of the high school building. At one of those laggy periods "Abie" in right field had a very interesting ses5icn with the lemonade peddler interrupted by a batter. He was forced to stop the conversation and also to stop the ball. With a glass of lemonade in one hand he reached out the other and pulled the ball down from the elements, with the multitude acclaiming his prowess both as a lemonader and ball player. Fin ally he decided to get rid of the ball which he did by hurling it to-
 George made three beautiful throws from center field to home, begging out the runner each time. Jacobson, one of the "aliens," heaved the ball from deep center to home plate in time to nip the runner. Brashear went in in the sixth to help relieve the situation, but lasted only two innings. Gran than kept up his sensational batting streaks with three safeties.
 Outside of these preliminaries, the game proceeded along on safe and

P. w. Maher was given hearing in justice court Saturday on a charge of mutilating a public jail, and before the completion of the hearing Maher made the statement that he had been a sailor of the United States navy. He said if given the chance he would again enlist and serve for Uncle Sam, and that never again would he be caught in Mohave county or the state of Arizona. He was taken at his word and the court ordered that further ac- tion be suspended and that he should be delivered to the depot and placed aboard train for San Francisco, which was done Sunday afternoon.
 Maher is the same fellow who had some trouble with Deputy James Chis- holm last fall, fighting Chisholm all over the alley and sidewalk between the business houses of George A. Be- neli and Lovin and Withers company. At that time he was finally taken to jail, but through some misunderstood ing the jury turned him loose and fur ther recommended that Chisholm be dismissed from the force, which was done.
 About two months ago Maher again  came to the attention of officers, com plaints being made against him for
