SLY FOX DESERVES
HIS REPUTATION
This Little Animal Is Recognized the
World over as Hunters Trickiest

In every country the fox Is the
synonym for cunning, and he well
merits the appellation. From centu-

until he died of old age.
AS it Is there is many sly fox who
has baffled the hunters for years.
Stories are numerous among hunters
about the cunning Of Mr.. Reynard.
and here are three of the best.
In Lancaster County. Pennsylvania,
a fox had been started, and thirty
five hounds and half dozen riders
were in Lively pursuit. The trail led
among the fields and ever the hills
for several miles. and then took the
hounds to the turnpike. There, in
the middle OF the pike, the scent was
lost The dogs Unanswered and beat
about here, there and everywhere, but
the trai could not be found. A team
ster Oh hs way TO town with load
uf hay had passed the spot where the
trail was lost iii the pike only a
minute before the hounds burst on the
road in full cry. The teamster stopped
on seeing Tie pack and the riders FOL
lowing them to watch the result or
the maneuyerlng.
(Which way did he go?" asked the
hunters.
Dunno" shouted the teamster,
didn't see him
Then the teamster drove on, and
the hunters gave up the chase, declar-
ing that there had never been such

out of the hay at the rear end OF the
wagon and trotted leisurely away to
cover.
well, that beats mel" said the
the teamster, and told his friend ABOUT
the way the hunters lost the trail
They both concluded that the only
explanation Of it was that the FOX had
! iumped into the road just behind the
TOAD of hay as it was passing, and, be-
ing cunning old customer. had
jumped on the hay and hurrowed INTO

up in full cry.
There in snug retreat he doubtless
enjoyed the discontinue OF po'"
hounds and hunters.
Another day, a party OF hunters
with large pack Of hounds were lea

and al last the animal took refuge III
a farm garden. There the scent was
lost and could not be recovered, ana
the chase was finally abandoned.

making his rounds, he was surprised

During another chase in Landls
Valley. Pa, the fox led the hunters
and dogs a long chase over hard
country and then struck for the PIKE
After following the pike long dis-
lance the fox took to the fields again
and then the dogs lost the scent.
The chase lasted uhiil late in the
afternoon. and it was not until sun
set that the fox's hiding place was
discovered, and then only by aec'-

The sly animal had actually en-

in the kennel Of one OF the very
hounds that was in the chase.

 TURN DOWN
 APPOINTMENT
Douglas Attorney Does Not Meet With the Approval of Board of Supervisors and Is Not Confirmed

At the meeting of the board of su- pervisors. who were in regular month lv session yesterday the appointment of s. W. White. of Douglas, as mem her Of the state council O. defense, by Governor Hunt, was not confirmed, the hoard giving no reason for their action, merely failing to confirm the appoint ment. It was intimated in Douglas that the apointment would not be con firmed. since White was strong Hunt supporter, and the governor n- sisted on appointing as member oi the council "one who had voted the deIno- cratic ticket straight.
 Ii was understood that the governor would let this county go without rep resentation on the council should Whites appointment not be ratified, and ii now remains to be seen what he will do. since the appointment was turned down.
 It appears that the supervisors have accepted Hunts challenge, ana VIII not ratify an appointment of the Hunt tyne. and would rather have the county 70 without representation on the eoun- cil than to confirm Hunts man. Nel- tber member O. the board would make statement regarding the turning down of Whites appointment. other than they deemed the appointment as not in keeping with the demands or | the county, and would have typlcai
 representation on the council or none

DEMURRER SUSTAINED
 IN MANDAMUS ACTION

Judge Stanforth in Phoenix Satur- day sustained the plea in abatement and demurrer argued several weeks ago in the mandamus action brought by Walter M. Stein ct al, versus the State Tax commission. The action was instituted for the purpose of compel ling the tax commission to recognize the right of appeal on a mine assess ment. The plaintiff is the owner Of mining property in COchise county which it claimed was taxed excess lively.
 The tax commission reduced the tax but the reduction was still in excess of the true cash value, according to the owners, who gave notice of appeal to the superior court of Cochise eoun- ty. The tax commission declined 10 recognize the right of appeal and to transmit the papers on the ground that the provision of the statutes relating to appeals relative to the assessment of mines by the tax commission was repealed.
 George Harben, assistant attorney general who represented the commis- sion. claimed that the method of ap peal expired with the expiration or the mine tax law June 30, 1915.
 Judge Sloan represented the plain tiff.

The memorial services which were held at the Y. VI. c. A. Sunday after noon for the late Dr. James Douglas, were short but impressive. A large number Of people. including many old time friends of the doctor, were pres ent

Allan Kirchbaum delivered the address of the afternoon and spoke at length on the achievements of Dr. Douglas, who pointed the way to the development of the coper industries of the south west. exerting 9 great influence upon all who followed him. Much of the comfort enjoyed by our people came through the intellectual genius Of Dr. Douglas.
 Not only was he rated foremost among metallurgists and mining au- thoriiies." said Mir. Kirchbaum, but he was a great scientist in other lines, eiving his knowledge for the benefit of the whole world. Many public in- stitutioas have been built by or bene- fited greatly from the generosity of Dr. Douglas.
 Rev. Kirchbaum concluded by say ing that it is not as a scientist or as master of mines that Dr. Douglas will be mourned, but because of his love and kindly spirit which urged hin to help all who appealed to him.

BOY SCOUTS ON
 PLEASANT TRIP

The Boy Scouts of troop 2, B. $. A. Bisbee council, hiked out to Thomas ranch over the divide last Saturday evening. The start was made at 7:lO n m from the scout headquarters where the mixers assembled. With their packs. blanket rolls, canteens and other camp equipments they pre-
 sented a queer appearance to the cas-
 ual observer.
 It had been planned to go by way
 of J,inipher flats. but when the flats
 were reached it had grown so dark and
 the trail so obscure that 1t became
 necessary to go down to the road
 which was quite some descent In the
 dark. About midnight they reached their destination, and, after a hght and hastily prepared lunch, the tlreh hikers turned in for the night in one of bIr. Thomas houses which he klhu-
 lv donated for their use. There was unite a fall of rain and all of the boys
 were soaked but they did not let
 little thing like that deter them rom | finishing the trip.
 Next morning the scouts were up
 bright and early and ready Tor the second days adventures. A trip 10
 Junipher flats over some of the rough
 eat country on the face of the earth and a visit to the Phelps Dodge pie nicers at Sycamore Grove comprised fine activities for the day: All were
 exceedingly tired at the end of that day of arduous climbing and hiking and the larders of the scouts were
 well nigh empty after the evening
 meal. One of the boys killed snake
 and another captured a sparrow hawk bv way of adventure during the hike A solid night of sleep on the pine floor
 of the cabin finished the second day Monday morning the scouts reluct antly broke camp and started back toward the Warren district. MT Thomas brought in some of the small CT boys in his car and the rest hlked . in and arrived home about noon. UT the way in a rancher and his Wife were found trying to get one of theii cows to it's feet. The COW had be . come so weak from lack of nourish , ment that it had gotten down and } was unable to rise The boys go' ) around the ccw and picked her uI } bodily and fed her until she was , strong enough to stand. As the scouts ' are required on oath to help othel } people at all times and do at leas l one good turn a day. no matter how ? inconvenient for themselves, this wal 3 quite a good turn to do as the COW ] would undoubtedly have died If th'
 boys had not gotten her up. The trooI
