PECULIAR CASE
 LIN TRIAL HERE

Whether or not a father is criminally
 liable for the support of his children who are in the custody of their mother is the question raised in the case of the state versus Levi Farra who is now on
 trial in Judge Stanford's court on the
 charge of failure to provide.
 The Farras were divorced in 1915
 and the decree was silent relative to the
 custody of the children who have re-
 mained with their mother. The paren-
 tai duty of Farra is the point raised in the action in the first case of it's kind to be tried in the local courts. County Attorney L. M. Laney in court yesterday cited case decided by the supreme court of Ohio which state has a similar law to that of Arizona and the court held the defendant liable. l While California does not hold the de- l fendant liable.
 Farra took the stand in his own bf half and stated that he had always stood ready and willing to support his | children. Under cross examination by
 Mir. Laney, it developed that the father had given one son 15 cents a month. | Gifts in money and clothing were | given by the painter whose divorced wife has supported the children by talk | ing in washing.
 The case will go to the jury today.

MADAM G|SELDA
 AGAIN IN CITY

Registered at the Hotel Jefferson are
 Mir. and Mrs. John w. Ward, the one
 known throughout the mining and oil developing world, the other famous at home and abroad as a cantatrice of ex- ceptional worth. To those Phoenicians fortunate enough to have heard Mad
 anne Giselda in concert at the Elks the | ater five years ago, the name of Mrs. Ward would mean little or nothing.
 But Mrs. Ward is Madame Griselda
 and as such has a host of friends in
 Phoenix who remember the pleasure
 her rich voice and charming personal ity afforded them upon the occasion of
 her previous visit to this city.
 It was on Friday evening. February 21. 1913. that Madame Griselda ap- peared ill a single concert at the Elks theater. Her program that evening embraced both classical numbers and
 beloved ballads Though her audience
 was small. it was deeply appreciative
 and nsistent upon encores after each number.
 l Now Madame Griselda is once more
 in Phoenix. Her husband is here in the
 interests of certain nrnnerties in Vi

SUMMONS
 CH|SM' $ VICTIM

warrant charging A L. Chism
 with homicide will be sworn out by
 County Attorney L. NJ. Laney today
 as result of the death at St. Joseph's
 hospital of Antonio Comacho. Coma
 cho, who died during the morning
 hours. came to his death by a gunshot
 wound inflicted by Chism, according
 to the verdict of a jury in Coroner Wheelers court where the inquest was
 held in the afternoon after the offi-
 cers had been to the scene of the trag edy in Marionette
 Accompanied by Sheriff Wilky, his stenographer and court reporter, the county attorney went to the ranch where the shooting occurred and in terviewed the ranch hands who will appear as witnesses for the state when the case against Chism comes to trial. The story they learned is practically that which appeared in Fridays issue of The Republican. It appears that the trouble arose over a spot on which the Mexican should pitch his tent. Chism was getting water at a public well when Camocha appeared with a bucket.
 The words that passed between the men could not be learned

There he will join contingent en route to Camp Devins, in Massachusetts, there to be- come attached to the Thirty third divi- sion of engineers.

Martinsburg Sunday.

Governor Cornwell has called on
the chairmen of all Lierbty loan cam
mittees, county councils of defense
and four minute men of the state to
make certain that Liberty Loan Sun
day shall be observed in every church
in West Virginia. His letter follows:
Sunday, October 9Th, has been
designated as Liberty Loan Church
Day in West Virginia. Surely there
has never been greater cause or in
spiration for the enlistment of the
church than in the crusade now be-
ing waged to conquer wrong and re-
store the teachings of Him who died
on Calvary.
"As He died to make men holy, our
brothers and their heroic Allies are
dying to make men free and to i'm
plant once more the love He taught
in the breasts of all mankind.
"The three organizations to which
this letter is addressed are request
ed. earnestly and sincerely, to COM
municate with every minister in
your county and davise him that his
government desires one sermon ON
Sunday, October 9th, be devoted to
the Fourth Liberty Lean-the sac
red cause for which subscriptions to
this loan are necessary.
Wherever possible an outside
speaker, one of your Four Minute
Men, should be supplied for this same
service and special choir music
should be rendered. The Four Minute
Men Bulletin contains sample SER
mon that will prove useful on this
occasion.
Make certain that America" is
sung in every church in West Vir-
ginia on this Sunday.
"Do not neglect this. 1t is vital in
it's Importance. 1t is vital that every
chruch should be enlisted in this

Quite different is their offering from
