 Mrs. Kibbey says that fiction new fiction, especially, is most desirable She requests anyone who is willing to contribute a volume to leave it at the Chamber of Commerce, When a suffi- cient number have been obtained, the service section will pack and ship the books to the men at Douglas and Camp Kearney.

LIBEL SUIT OF
 HARRIS TRIED

The trial of the libel suit of Adjutant General Charles W. Harris against the Arizona Publishing company, growing out of an printed in The Re publican on July 29 of the demand made by Governor Campbell upon the adjutant general for his resignation to take effect on August l, was begun yesterday.
 In the story it was stated that it was reported that the action of the gover- nor was provoked by certain state- ments made by the adjutant general.
 In the preliminary skirmishing some months ago the attorneys for the plain tiff elected to try the case without a jury. The attorneys for the defendant consented but Judge Stanford in whose
Arizona republican., 1918-03-01

court the complaint had been filed, on his own motion. ordered a jury which was quickly selected yesterday morn ing.
 The stand was occupied the greater part of the day by Colonel Harris whose testimony was divided into two main parts. one describing the injury that had been done him and the other, an effort to show that the publication was malicious. Governor Hunt was a witness, testifying to the efficiency of the plaintiff and Assistant United States Attorney, J. H. Langston, to his loyalty to the federal government. There will be one more witness for the plaintiff this morning after which the case for the defendant will be pre- sented.

Seldom nowadays do we hear of the debt of honor cancelled by the use of brace of pistols in the hands of outwardly calm but inwardly ex- cited gentlemen of the purple.
 For 300 years previous to the last half of the nineteenth century the pistol was developed solely as a weapon of defense at very short dis tance and as already stated, prin- cipally for duelling purposes. It is On record that the first pistols. were made about 1540 by an Italian, Cam inelleo Vitelli, at Pistoja, Italy
