 FOOT AGAIN
INCIDEN T INDICATES WHAT DAN GERS AR E LURKING, WHEN 2 HUNS INADVER- TENTLY SHOW HANDS.
(From Tuesdav's Gaily.)

Discretion should be used by mo- torists in picking mp strangers on the road, and courtesies in taking them aboard on grounds of kindness should be carefully weighed" said Benton A. Cartier, visiting mining man of Ely, New, when seen at his hotel last Sunday night after his return from the Tiptop country. Continuing he gave his experience in practically the following language:
 -'To start off with I wish to say that l can talk German fucntly, so now you will fully appreciate my story. Leaving Mayer last Thursday morning and when about four miles out on the road to Cordes I overlook i'll my car two men on foot packing their blankets, and noticing they were pretty well loaded down out of courtesy asked them to get aboard, which they did. One talked English with the accent of native, while the other had but little 10 say. Bo& had features which would indicate they were difficult to nationalizc.
 However, that was only an incl dent, and | didn't think anything more of the matter. Mir. Bcllman, who was with me, and who I first met at Oatman a year or so ago, joined me on the trip at Prescott, and we naturally got to talking about the war. of course conserving in Eng fish. This gave me the tip, and as VIC were jaunting along one Of my back seat guests opened up in q tirade against everything American and particularly the English. of course speaking in German. l nudgcd Mir. Bcllman and asked him to take the wheel, which he did. This permitted me to hear readily, as I turned my head in their direction to fully inhalc nearly every word of their venom. We reached CordeS and after taking on water for the car con tinucd to Bumblcbee station, about ten miles distant Half way out l stopped the car and got out, stepping to the side and informing Mir. Bell man of what dandy pair we had aboard and telling him of what l had heard in German. He was wild in his frenzy and suggested we return to Mayer and deliver the Huns to an officer. Finally we concluded to! dump them right there, and return ing to the car l spoke in German and used this language: Both of you get out and hit the road. You arc pair of trcacherouS hounds, and should be shot down I never saw two more surprised Huns in all my life, when they realized my familiar ity with their language. We went on to Black Canyon, then to Tiptop, and on the road at every point told peo- pie to give that pair the go-by and above everything else not to permit them to work It was my intention to go on to Phoenix, where l could have reported the matter to the United States attorney. and the Ger mans could have been ovcrtaken on the read. tried to get to tclc- 1, phone, but there was none, so con cludcd to wait until my return to Prescott 10 report 10 the officials. ] But it is probable these dangerous aliens are now in some isolated place and it will be hard to reach them.
