Leaving Camp Fremont, m New York without orders, Private James Riddle was arrested as a dcsertcr, tried by drumhead court-martial, but the verdict was withheld when it was learned from his parents that the young man kept his faith by wedding the girl of his choice. The event oc- cured at a nearby village. and young Riddle made a sensation by returning inside military lines with bride on his arm and smile on his lips. There were nine specifications lodged against him, and his lawyer was a cousin of the bride, also in the ranks. This hymoucal escapadc is of local interest, as Riddle has relatives in this section, who are interested in mines near Mayer He visited this section carly in the year. remaining for a few months. It Is probable a light sentence will be his lot, solely in order to preserve military discipline in the future.

PHOENIX, Nov. ,. - The first monthly report of the Arizona free employment bureau, jointly main taincd by the L. $. immigration bu' reau and the State of Arizona, Is a most satisfactory vindication of the necessity of such a clearinghouse ior brawn and brain in this State.
 In October, S29 males and 10 fc- males secured jobs through this bu- rcau and these hgurcS do not include many men employed from the waiting groups in front of the office, for which the bureau receives no credit.
 Recently, while Governor Campbell was in Prescott, sheep owner re- qucstcd him to get three sheep herd CTS and send them to Mohavc county. Inside of three days, the men were on their way to work.
 State Manager Charles W. Hart man, states that he has applications from persons in all lines of human activity and can, in nearly all cases, furnish any kind of help desired.
 There were SS live opportunities for cmploymcn, at the close of business on October 5lst Opportunities un- filled during the month were 356, showing that the demand in Arizona is greater than the supply in many occupations al the present time.

A gipsy kid was dispatched post-hastc to the camp of the wanderers to obtain the cash, while the accused woman remained in charge of the officer. The kid soon returned with the SEQ and the woman was allowed to go, after the chief had given the leaders of the vagabonds a pressing invitation to beat it, and in the future to make themselves scarce around this part of the State.

ONE WEEK MORE IN WHICH ID
 SIGN CARDS
FOOD PLEDGE CAMPAIGN IS EXTENDED UNTIL END OF PRESENT WEEK, AND CANVASSERS ARE STILL SECURING SIGNATURES.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Miss Grace NJ. SparkeS, county manager of the State food pledge campaign yesterday received a wire from Warren McArthur, State man agcr, stating that ;he campaign had been extended over into the present week instead of ending on Saturday last as had been originally intended. The extension of time was granted because of the fact that it had been virtually impossible for the canvass CTS in the various parts of the nation to see all or the persons whom it was believed would sign the food-saving pledge, and the extra week will en- able the workers to complete the big job by cleaning up all of the unsigned pledges.
 An effort is to be made during this week to round up all persons who may have been missed in the first weeks efforts Mir McArthur's tele- gram of yesterday stated that a splen- did response had been met with throughout the State in the matter of getting signatures, and that tine re- ports which had been received up to Saturday night, indicated that prac- tically everyone who had been asked 10 sign the cards had done so.
 It is believed that throughout the entire country more than a million families have been added .o the pledge. enrolment through the past weeks efforts. More than five million had already signed the cards prior to last week, so that just now more than six million are TOW recorded in the offices of the food administration in the na- tional capital.
 In one or two parts of the country, efforts were made by unknown infu- cnccs to discourage the work of ob- taining signatures to the pledges, story having been circulated in the State of Iowa that ;he United States food authorities intended to conhscate all canned goods over and in excess of 100 cans from every housewife who had signed the pledge. Such rumors apparently went for naught as the campaign was an unqualified success
 in all parts of the country.

Buffalo. From the latter city, I con tinued my trip into New York City and worked long time on the Hudson river tunnels.
 Preyed On His Mind.
 Eventually l driftcd back into the West again, and went to the Hawaiian islands. Since that time l have been in Canada and Mexico, and in Cali fornia most of the time. All the time the memory of my decd was proving on my mind, and l finally got so that l could not sleep. I longed to tell the story and return to Yavapai county and square the account, and when favorable conditions came along, did make the confession, and here I am. That is about all 1 have to say for publication just now. The details of how and why I confessed will prob ably come out during the trial. I am ready to go into court at any time now and enter a plea of guilty
 Details of the Confession.
 While Forman refused to disclose to the newspaper reporter the details of his confession it seems that he had told the whole story to Under Sheriff Robinson on the way from San Der nardino to this city.
 Forman had been in Needles for some time, and had been arrested there on a misdcmeanor charge, prob ably drunkenness, and had been given % days in the jail at San Bcrnardino, the county seat. During the time that he was in jail there woman revival ist came along and spent some time among the inmates of the jail, with the result that Forman became more than ever convinced that he should confess his crime. It seems that shortly prior to his arrest in Needles, he had made boast to some of his acquaintanccs that he was a German spy. and when the authorities heard of the boast, they at once took the Bertillion measurements of the man, and also made a record of his finger prints, and when this was done, For man said he felt sure that sooner or later the Arizona authorities would hear of the matter, and formally ac. cusc him of the old murder. In the face of all of these circumstances, the man decided to confess, and called in Sheriff McMinn of San Bernardino county and told his story. The story was taken down in shorthand, and Sheriff Joe Young notified. While the crime had long since been forgotten by the local authorities, the matter was investigated on the old records of the sheriff's office, and when it was found that Forman's story was in all probability true, Officer Robinson went after the self-confcSscd murderer and brought him back for trial in this city.

MORE PUBLICITY FOR
 CAMPS IN THIS COUNTY
(From Sundays d2iiy.j

W. A. Root. representing the Min ing X Scientific Press of San Fran cisco, arrived in Prescott yesterday and expects to spend the next ten days or two weeks looking over the mining districts of Yavapai county with d view of writing them up in the publication which he represents. His first trip will be into the Maycr-IImn- boldt-Crown King section.
 Mir. Root came here from MohavC county, and reports that things mp in the Chloride country are on the boom with a number Of the larger proper ties already getting into the producing class. \ couple of custom mills have been put into operation and the dis trict k feeling the good effects Of the high metal prices. While the com plcx ores of that district have always presented more or less of problem iu the matter of reduction. new methods have rendered these difficulties less formidable than they were in the old days, and a real. live camp iS in the making at Chloride as result. Oat- man, according to Mir. Root, has ap- parcntly gone into d slough of de ,pond. and with the exception of the activities at the United Eastern and the Tom Reed, the district appears to be pretty much on the blink. and is far from being the rip-Snorting camp which it was about Is months ago when the big boom was in progress.

ID RAISE FUNDS FOR WORK OF
 ARMY '
YAVAPAI COUNTY WILL BE ASKED FOR THE SUM
 OF S10,000 FOR PU R. POSE OF PROVIDING CAMP ACCOMMODATIONS
(From Tuesday's DailY.)

C. A. Gummcrc, who is here from Los Angeles in the interests of the army Y. NJ. C. A. work, stated yes tcrday evening at a dinner given al the Yavapai Club, that the City of Prescott and Yavapai county would be called upon for the sum of Sl0,OOO as the county's apportionment of the S50,0O0 which had been pledged by the State for the work.
 According to plans made at the din- ner. teams will be formed and a sys- tcmatic canvass of the city and coun, ty will be made within the next few days for the purpose of soliciting funds. The States of Arizona and New Mexico and the western part of the State of Texas have been asked to raise Sl0O,000, the money to be eX- pended m the work of maintaining the Y. headquarters in the various camps and cantonments. Mir. Gum mere explained that at the present time, with the exception of the \. headquarters, there was practically no place for the soldier to spend his leisure hours except in the brothcls which have sprung up within a short distance of many of the camps, and that the men were fast falling prey to insidious dangers which accompanied the presence of these undcsirablcs. Dr. l. W. Finn supplemented tEc remarks of Mir. Gummerc by telling of the good which had come to the knowl- edge as a result of the work of the army Y. and read some letters from the boys in camp in which the writers told of the benefits which the men were deriving from the presence of the \. tents. Rev. II. II. ShireS, LeRoy An dcrson and M. B. Ilazcltine also de livcred short addresses in which they gave their sanction to the enterprise which Mir. Gummcre was represent ing.
 At the present time, said Mir. Gum
 mere, there Is a great need of \. M. ; (. A. secretaries in the ranks of the
 Russian army, the YJ being a power [ ful influence in the matter of support ing the morale of the fighting forces. ! If the Y. organization can put several i hundred secretaries in the Russian i field, the speaker said, the Russian army, through the moral support of such an organization, could be whip ped into shape so that 1t would at least become an element of defense ! instead c. offering but passive resist ancc .o the invading Germans. If the sum cf $l0OO0, 900 could be raised in
 the United States by the Y. forces and applied to the work now going on in the French army, at least one million lives could be saved during the prog rcss of the coming Spring drive, the morale of the soldiers being strength cned to such an extent through the example set them by the '. workers, that their efficiency would be incrcas- cd many fold.
 Another meeting of the local work CTS will be held at the Havapai Club on Monday noon next, and at this time some definite information as to the activities of the local committees will be outlined.
