succeeded in losing his spark
plug and starting a back-fire"
Among other things he made out
that the county sckool superin-
tendent is able to wade in
wealth owing to the munifcent
salary and big expense allowance
The fact of the matter is, the
present salary of the superint-
endent is but $125 a month with
no allowance for a clerk. And fur
ther more that very liberal allo-
vance for expenses" has been
very materially cut down.
The article, however, contained
one solid statement of fact-up
to the time it was written not a
single nomination paper for any

SPEND FOR TRAVEL LESS

WASHINGTON, July 2,-The
American people are spending
more for amusements but less for
travel as the war progresses.
That fact is revealed by the May
receipts of taxes collected by the
Internal Revenue Bureau. War
taxes from all sources collected
in May amounted to $123, 1896, 104
Taxes collected during May by
the 10 percent charge on admis-
sion to theatres, concerts, caba-
rets and like places, amounted to
81, 524, 996. In February taxes
from the same sources totaled
So, 7O8, 900.

ger fares during May yielded

THE BROOME MURDER CASE

It is possible that the trial of
Cy Broome, charged with the
Killing of Charles Yakimovick
over in the Arivaca country some
moths ago, may come to Santa
Cruz County. The lefendent
has made application for change
of venue and accompanies his
application with numerous a.
fidvaits setting forth that afiants
do not believe that Broome can
get a fair trial in Pima County.
The case is set for August 9Th in
that:county. The fact that there
are very large number of
witnesses in the case, many of
whom are in very moderate cir
cunstances, makes it probable
that the trial, in case charge of
henve is granted, will he sent
to one of the adjoining counties.

THE FIRST CASE

The motor car of a Pima County
bootlegger has been seized by
the authorities and will be for
feited to the County. He is pro-
badly the first case of eforcement
of the new law, passed at the late
special session of the legislature
and which was drafted at the
instance of the Nogales Chamber
of Commerce.
Before the passage of this law
the vehicle of a bootlegger was
immune from seizure land proseu-
tion of the offending person was
the only recourse. The enforce
ment of this law will go a long
way toward cutting down the
bootlegging business. After a
m an has lost a few high powered
high priced cars. such as are
usually used in that business, he
will find it none profitable as
will as desirable to seek some
other employment.
