PARIS EDITION OF THE
LONDON DAILY MAIL HERE

Lieut.. Paul N. Gleissner has sent
TO his parents, Mr. and Mrs M.
Gleissner, a copy of the Paris edi-
tion of the London Daily Mail, and
IL is full of interesting matter.
Among the items from the United
States is a dispatch from Abilene.
Kan, telling of crops It says; This
is a typical wheat country. It has
$4,000 acres and will threesh o.
100000 bushels, an income OF $4,-
100000, or $3.50 per capita. To
this is to be added the income from
maize and other crops, and the sec
tion bids fair to have the largest
cash income of any season in its
history The western farmer ought
to get along without difficulty this
year"

TEN STEERS DEAD FROM
PLUNGE INTO DEEP WELL

One OF the most peculiar and un'
accountable incidents in cattle his
tory occurred on the Henry Jacob
son farm near Dillon about week
ago. There we're forty-one big
steers IN the Jacobson pasture but
one day last week eleven head OF
the steers we're found in well
thirty feet deep Only one could be
taken from the well alive.
A wire fence, especially strong
kept the cows away from the we'll
and besides that, a heavy board top
covered the well. When the steers
were found In the we'll, one piled
on top OF the other, the wires were
all torn down and the top Of the
we'll was broken TO splinters The
eleven cows almost filled the we'll
to the top.
The only clew possible is that the
steers were so thirsty that they at
tempted to get into the well TO get
water. But that does not seem prob
able as steers do not tear down
fences and break up platforms just
to get water Farmers in the vicin
ity of Dillon are greatly puzzled by
the new mystery.

ASK ASSISTANCE TO RES
 vAeLisH CAPITAL PUNiSAMEN'

tABllSH CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
 A number of residents of Tomb stone are in receipt of a letter from O. NJ. Matthews. of Phoenix. secre- tsry of the Capital Punishment leag- ue. asking cooperation in having re- established the death penalty for capital crimes. The law providing for the death penalty was abolished by the election Of 1916. The letter follows:
 With the end in view of arganiz- ing a committee having as it's object the initiation of a statute to reinstate capital punishment in Arizona. this letter is sent you. soliciting your signature to the enclosed committee membership blank. with the earnest request that you sign same withou, delay and transmit it in the enclosed self-addressed envelope.
 T do not deem it necessary at this time to submit the many argu- ments which will be adrsnced in support of the law we propose to ini- lste. lhe columns of the state press for the past two years have given ample proof of the necessity for the reinstatement of capital punishment in Arizona.
 The work of the committee the membership Of which you are solci- ted 10 join. will be to legally initiate such jaw and thus submit to the voters of the state the question of repeating the law which abolished capital punishment. It has been deemed best to act as state com mittee. and copies Of this letter are being sent to members of the State Bar association, state. county and municipal officials of Arizona. and men and women who have shown an interest in public work.
 The membership blank which you are asked to sign and mail. indicates the limitations of the committee it is proposed to form. You are also urged to make such contribution as your interest in this matter would justify. and a proper statement of subscriptions received will be later mailed to all members of the com mit.ee contributing to the expense of the committee.
 Will you please give us a promp, answer. as the date for filing the in i;iative petition expires July B."

There will be no leniency by the government toward those who fail to appear. and no ex- cuses. except that of serious illness. will be accepted.
 There were many who failed to register last year because they did not realize the seriousness attached to noncompliance with the law" Mir. Krebs said, "and for that reason. the government did not in all cases give the full penalty imposed by the law for those who did not register Now. however. it is different The men who havo become of draft age during the past year are supposed to know the law. and they certainly have had plen- ty Of opportunities to become familiar with it. so no excuses will be accept ed"
 Dr. Hunt will be at the Bisbee Y. M. C. A. throughout the day on June 5. and. in addition to this. there will he registration officer at Douglas Tombstone and Wilcox. It was not necessary for but one registration place to he opened. though. in fact |. was the desire of the selecfive draft authorities that there be only one reg istration place in each county.
