E. Pascoe. The estate is not given a value in the petition, al though the lots and residence property are said to yield an annual rental or $4,000 Mrs. Angeline Amirault, who was 40 years her husbands junior, and her three months old daughter, Margaret Ruth, are mentioned as the sole heirs of the estate, including the realty holdings, motor car, household furniture and personal property valued at s1,00O.

 Amrault has no relatives in this city, but has brothers and sisters living in Canada. He was one of the pioneer residents of Phoenix and his confi- dence in it's future was evinced by the property interests he accumulated dur ing his lifetime. A year ago in August he married Miss Angeline Taylor, the marriage of the aged man and young girl causing a decided sensation. Their little daughter was born few months ago. Amirault died December 9.

SENTENCES SAILOR
 WHO STABBED OFFICER

With tears streaming down his cheeks, Charles Harris, the 22-year-o old sailor who got in serious trouble when on his furlough here last summer, was sentenced by Judge Stanford yesterday to serve not less than two nor more than six years in the state penitentiary at Florence for assault with intent to commit bodily harm.
 When asked if he had anything to say, Harris shook his head and stated that his attorney Hubert Clark would speak for him.
 Clark pleaded for the youth for whom he hoped to secure a suspended sentence. He admitted the assault on Lew Mickey, police officer, when the latter sought toelrrest him for a mis- demeanor without a warrant It was Clarll's contention that the officer was not in his rights in making the arrest without warrant since he had not seen the crime committed. Mickey had been detailed to watch certain house and to arrest any couple violating a city vice ordinance. Mickey arrested the woman. Harris, resisting arrest, drew his knife and stabbed the officer.
 The jury returned a verdict of guilty after 15 minutes deliberation. After the passing of sentence Clark made a motion for a writ of probable cause, which was denied. He then made a motion for a ten days stay of execu- tion, which was granted by the court.

March 30.-"Some time ago pimples began to appear on my forehead, and spread so that people remarked about them, and I didn't like to go any where on that account. I tried vari- ous creams, soaps, and skin remedies, but nothing seemed to help me. A friend of mine who had the same trouble told me she cleared her skin with Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap, so I tried them. After the first application all the redness and sore ness disappeared and after two or three applications my friends began to ask me what I used, my face looked so much better.
 Now l can go to places without being ashamed of those awful pim- pies, and I will never be without Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap" (Signed) Miss Jessie Torrance, 67 Beech St, Rutherford, N. J.
