FALL A MISTAKE"
 FOR THE RED CROSS

The playlet given recently with so much success will be repeated on the 18th of May for the benefit of the Red Cross. The same cast, with a couple of exceptions, will be represented, and as a great many people were unable to gain admission to the hall at its for mer performance, this will be the op- portunity for all to see one of the best amateur plays of the season as well as contribute to the coffers of the treasury of the one all-impOrtant branch of the war.
 The ladies of the local chapter of the Red Cross are reported to be using in the neighbOrhood of $50 worth of materials weekly, hence it can be seen that a constant effort must be kept up to have them financed.

STENE CONSOLIDATED
 IS BEING FINANCED

P. NJ .Stene, Of the Stene Consoli- dated Copper Mining company, was In kingman yesterday on his way to New York where he has the financing of his company under way. The com pany was incorporated on a group of copper mines in the Bill Williams sec ton, close to the Barbee property and south of the McCracken. So far some work has been done on the mines and about 10000 tons of good grade cop per ore brought to view. Mir. Stene has been at work on the property with a view to strongly financing it and preparing it for production.
 Like all the mines along the Bill Williams Fork the Stene property shows considerable oxidized ore in the ou-crop. Development has been car ried on in the outcropping masses, but it is proposed to sink on the main ore bodies as soon as the necessary equip ment is erected on the property. The mines are being financed by big New York corporation and the stock will be listed on the curb. The management of the mines will be in the hands of the Tennessee Copper company, which has made a great success in the hand ling of similar ore in the mountains of Tennessee.

36 GERMANS CAPTURED
 BY LONE SCOT

How. Sergt. William Grimbaldeston of the kings own Scottish borderers, though armed only with one bomb, captured thirty-six Germans with six machine guns and a trench mortar, and thereby won the Victoria cross, is thus tcld in an official narrative:
 During the course of ari attack, Sergeant Grimbaldeston noticed that the advance of the battalion on his left was being checked by heavy machine gun fire from a large block house. He at once collected four rifle grenadiers, and instructed them to open as rapid a fire as possible on the block house, thus assisting one of our trench nor tar batteries, which was also concen- trating on the same target.
 "The ground between him and the block house was open and entirely de- void of cover. In spite of this he made his way across it in a series of rushes, followed closely by his small band of riflemen.
 Under a hail of bullets from the enemy machine guns, and armed with only one hand grenade, he worked his way round to the entrance at the rear of the block house. With this solitary weapon he suddenly appeared in the midst of the enemy, and persuaded each gun team in turn to lay down it's arms.
 "So it happened that thirty-six Ger mans, with their six machine guns and a trench mortar, surrendered to one British soldier and bomb. By his bravery and initiative he was thus re- sponsible for the capture of this stronghold with it's defenders, and at the same time prevented what threat ened. to become a critical situation Denver Post.

KINGMAN WOMAN IN
 BRITISH COLUMBIA

Miss Anna Parrot, of Kingman, is in receipt of a very interesting letter from Mrs. Robert Walker, formerly a Red Cross worker of this place, who is now at Sproat Lake, Alberni, B. C.. Mrs. Walker states that all able bodied men have been called to the colors and that all farm work has to be done by the old men, women and boys. She was engaged with her aunt in the building of chicken houses, rab- bit hutches, fences and attending to farm work They had a number of boats on the lake and one of the du- ties that devolved on her was to paint all the boats and make them service able. She says, Believe me, the U. S. does not realize what it is to have most of her men dead, dying, or fight ing"
 Mrs. Walker expects soon to return to Arizona, her husband now being with the Citizens bank at Flagstaff.

"You can talk about getting the money" says Doc the Duck, "but the way the little towns and camps in Mohave county have gone over the top with their quotas is a pleasure to be- hold. Think it over! the county gets a star for doubling its quota, Oatman gets a star for doubled quosa, King man has doubled her quota, and the little old burg of Chloride has passed by its quota for a fourth star. Guess that ain't some record for a place out in the brush, where the dogs all bark at strangers.
 Some of the big fish of the cities think as how these little places are so far away from the scene of action that they don't amount to great deal, but as it. goes with us, it's them re- suits as counts" says the Ducky Doc, land we'll say that we got the results in Mohave county"
 "The results to date," says the duckling, shows that, taking the men, women and children of the county as a whole, one in three has subscribed for a bond for a total pro-rata of nearly S70. There may be some rec ords as good as this," says Doc, ''but so far I ain't seen 'um, but couldn't expect much else from a county like
 his. So long"

PERMISSION GIVEN TO UTILIZE
 YUCCA PLANT FOR BAGGING

Permission has been granted manu- lecturers of bagging in the United States to use the yucca plant, or soap weed, which grows on the arid lands of Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona as a substitute for the jute formerly imported into this country from Cal cutta.
 Manufacturers of bagging, under a recent ruling of Franklin K. Lane, sec retary of the interior, may go on any public lands where the yucca plant grows and harvest it for the manu- facture of bagging. When this is done the government will not consid- CT the cutting of the weed as a tres pass upon the public domain.-Denver Post.

FALSE TESTIMONY
FIGURES IN CASE
Miller, Charged With Suborna-
ton of Perjury, Freed-Com-
planning Witness To Be Tried

Through maze of lurid testimony,
much of it admittedly perjured, Fay
Miller, an enlisted man, won his WY to
freedom yesterday in the circuit court
before Judge s. B. Kemp. In the latest
case against him Miller was charged
with subornation of perjury and the
verdict was given by the jury after the
prosecuting witness admitted on the
stand that she had told one story some
weeks ago before the grand jury, an
other denying this at hearing in Cir
cult Judge William H. Heen s court and
in testifying yesterday reverted to the
original account she gave before the
grand jury.
Following the grand jury investiga.
tion of the case when the girl, Rosie
Aldricb, told her first story in the grand
jury room, Miller was indicted on a
statutory charge based on the allegation
that he had forced the girl into a life
of shame.
When this charge was heard before
Judge HPen, Miller was freed on the
girls testimony. On the stand at this
hearing she denied all the things she
had told the grand jury, saying Miller
was not responsible for things she had
done.
AS result of this case a new inquiry
was started by the grand jury and
Miller was again indicted, this time on
charge Of subornation of perjury.
and an indictment was also returned
against the Aldrich girl charging her
with perjury.
The new charge against Miller came
to trial yesterday morning before Judge
Kemp, when the variations in the trcti
mOnY of the witness for the prosecution
developed! The girl said the story she
had told the grand jury was the truth
and she asserted she had falsifird in
Judge Heen 3 court after she had been
induced to do so by Miller whom. she
said. she met in front of the Judiciary
building as she was entering it.
Miller then presented testimony Show
ing that he had entered the huildfny
on the day of the trial in Judge Hrrn :
court by the rear entrance and had at
no time that morning been in front
Of the building.
The charge Of perjury against the
girl is yet to be heard.
