Burglar Makes Slight Haul

Enterprising thieves seized upon
a twenty-minute absence of the
proprietor Friday evening last to
break into Denney's secondhand
store. 1t was just growing dark,
between 6 and J o'clock, while Mr..
Denney was up town on a short
errand. On his return he found
the lock wrenched loose and the
door standing open. A fashlight
was the only article missed, but a
revolver which had been lying on a
table by side of it, fortunately had
been removed to a place of safety
by Mr.. Denny just before starting
up town, otherwise that too would
have been taken. The burglar was
evidently scared away before he
had completed hiss proposed opera

Went Into a Ditch

Two men from Tucson, return
ing from down the river, where
they had been engaged on a plumb
ing job, met with an accident in
their car here shortly after dark
Tuesday evening. They came into
town on their way home and after
a short stop started for Tucson.
Driving up the street they missed
the crossing near the ice house and
kept on past the canning factory.
They failed to see the big ditch
just beyond, and consequently their
Ford pumped into it without warn
ing, turning a somerset and throw
ing both men out. One fell in the
sand on his head and the other un-
der the car, but was able to get
out without assistance. Neither
was badly hurt. They returned to
town after the accident, and after
having temporary repairs made left
for Tucson Wednesday morning.

His Camouflage Unmasked

Winslow Mail: Last week a
stranger dropped into the Kelly
pool hall and tried to find an OBJ
scure corner to seek few moments
rest, but if he had known the pro-
prietor was the original Hack-saw
the Detective" he probably would
have hunted another location.
When Kelly's eagle eye lighted on
those curly locks and Charlie Chap
lin moustache he knew it was a
and the fellow could feel
he was under suspicion. He soon
slipped away, and Kelly got the
officers busy to locate him, and
took a hand in the job himself. In
a short time Kelly discovered his
man in one of the hotels, sans his
wig and moustache, when he adj
mitted to the officers that he was
the disguise to shadow his
wife who had recently come to
town, SO he could get some evil
dence for a divorce. Then an an
ticipated sensation of a German
spy faded into thin air.

Victimized by Friends

A cruel" joke was played on
two young people who have many
acquaintances in Benson, according
to the Tombstone Prospector:
Miss Nellie Ciochetti left this
morning for Globe where she goes
to spend few weeks visiting with
friends. The young lady would
have had to wait several hours in
Benson by leaving on the morning
train. To avoid this, Mr.. Cecil
Costello kindly offered to drive his
Flivver" down to Benson in time
to catch the Globe train. Then
several young friends of Mr.. Cos
te1lo and Miss Ciochetti put their
heads together and frame up was
perfected In less than sixty sec
onds. Anyhow, when the Fliv-
ver' started for Benson it was dec
Grated with old shoes, and the.joke
was that neither of the occupants
were aware of this. The guilty
ones are now in hiding and prob
ably will remain so until the exact
effect is determined. "
A London special telegram to
the New York. Sun says Germany's
proposed big drive is in reality an
attempt to capture Paris. On to
Paris is the slogan of the German
press and army. The fall of Jeru-
salemis regarded by German poll
ticians as indicating the collapse
of German ambitions for an east
ern expansion.

John Barleycon, my jo, John,
since nations had their birth, you
have with beastly arrogance in
tested this old earth. But now
you see your finish, John, and
many fits you throw, the bells
are tolling knells for you, John
Barleycorn, my jo. This war has
slain it's millions, John, and many
more must die, but you have
killed far more than war with
your old gin and rye; the men
who fall on battle fields our
prayers and blessing know, but
those you slay must die in
shame, John Barleycorn my jo.
John Barleycorn my jo, John,
your tricks cannot avail;y ou
cannot set aside your doom
by blowing in the kale !;
nor can the tears of croco-
diles which down your whis-
kers flow avert one hour the
bier and shroud, John Barley
corn, my jo. Twill be a better
world, John, when you've remov-
ed your sign, when you no longer
poison men with tanglefoot and
wine; for every plunk you handle
is the price of pain and woe, and
that's tainted sort of coin,
John Barleycorn, my jo. You
have wearied all the world,
John, you've trie d the
souls of men, and when you
chase yourself away you won't
come back again; you're letting
go by inches, John, but you will
have to go, and so skidoo and
fare thee ill., John Barleycorn,
