Partners Disagree;

For Share of Lease

OF interest in Ray is the bringing
of suit for an accounting of partner
ship by w. w. Lawhon, the we'll
known Phoenix broker, against Jim
Pollard of Ray, who, with C. E. Ad-
dams, formerly general manager of
the Ray Hercules, took lease on the
Ray Silver Lead property some
months ago.
It is the allegation of Lawhon that
at the time the lease was made that
he and Pollard entered into a partner
ship as concerned Pollard's share of
the lease, and that they were to share
equally the profits accruing to Pol
lard. 1t now develops, according to
Lawhon, that Pollard claims that the
partnership extended only to an op-
tion on some stock, which was in
cluded in the elase to Adams, and

MRS. EMERICH TALKS
OF WORK OVER THERE

Mrs. R. s. Emerich, a Y. w. C. A.
worker from the French front, sent
out under direct commission by the
United States government to study
conditions behind the lines, spoke at
the Iris theater Tuesday night. Her
talk was simple and direct, all in the
light of extreme need for soldiers. "a
troop is out of luck without a Y. M
G.. A" was the message our soldiers
sent back. Mrs. Emerich in her talk
was ashamed to admit that she. made
sacrifice. She left her three small
boys in the United States and went
over there, and after seeing the sac
rifices made by the French and Eng
lish women, she urged the people TO
buy more Bonds and War Savings
Stamps and give to the war workers

u. S. GUARDS ARE
SENT TO JEROME

One company Of United States
guards was rushed to Jerome this
week from Globe as result of the
killing of Horace Harrison, acting
chief watchman for the United Verde
Copper company, and outbreak be-
tween a gang of outlaw Mexicans and
peace officers, in the course of which
two officers were wounded and one
Mexican killed, and the subsequent
discovery of twelve bombs hidden on
or near the property of copper pro-
ducers. The detachment from Globe,
to the number of so, was transported
to Phoenix by automobile over the
Apache trail and by train from Phoe-
nix to Jerome
Four of the Mexicans who are be-
lieved to have killed Harrison have
been captured and are in the county
Jail at Prescott, while a dragnet has
been thrown out around the Jerome
district for the purpose of apprehend-
ing the MeXicans involved in the bomb
plot. The situation in Jerome is quiet.

RAID ON WINERY
BRINGS IN TWAIN

A successful raid on a winery con-
Quoted by G. S. Ascjizich, who lives
near the ice plant, brought the pro-
prietor and Pete Yanizh into the tolls
of the law about $50 o'clock Thurs
day evening. The raid was conducted
by County Attorney Fl. G. Richardson
and Officers Henderson and Gorham.
For some time j had been suspect
ed that AZcjizich had been making
wine at his home. The raid disclosed
the fact that he was not altogether
out of this commodity. In fact, he had
about eighty gallons of wine on hand,
which at the current quotation of 81
gallon, proved quite profitable ven
ture.
Pete Yanizh, carrying two suit cases
containing twenty-one quarts of ich-
mond whiskey. walked right into the
officers trap a few minutes later. The
officers knew that Yanizh was going
to the residence of Mr.. Azciizich that
evening-at least it would seem So
for they were right there to pick him
up as he came along, gaily swinging
the suitcases full of booze.
Both men were arraigned before
Judge French and were bound over t,
the superior court under $500 bono
each.

CONVERT YOUR BONDS
AND Do It PROMPTLY

The Treasury department again re-
minds holders of per cent Liberty
Loan bonds that these securities are
convertible into 4 IA per cent. bonds
of the Third Liberty Loan, and eX-
tends a warning that this privilege
lapses November o and cannct be re-
newed.
A statement issued over the sigma
ture of Secretary McAdoo says:
Holders of these 4 per cent. bonds
lose nothing by exercising the privi-
lege of conversion and gain II per
cent interest per annum. Holders of
per cent bonds should not wait until
the last moment to exercise the
privilege of conversion, but proceed
to do so promptly. Delay will result
in overburdening the banking institu-
tions OF the country and the Treasury
Department by making it necessary to
handle all conversions at the last mo-
ment, and may result in the loss of
the privilege of conversion altogether.
Holders of coupon bonds are
strongly advised to request the issue
of registered bonds in order to protect
themselves against the risk of loss,
theft and destruction of their bonds.
"Official Department Circular No.
ia, with forms of application, has
been distributed to Federal Reserve
VII
throughout the United States. These
institutions are asked ,as a matter OF
patriotic service, TO assist bondhold
ers in exchanging per cent bonds
for IA per cent bonds and in regis
tering their bonds"

there are shells of every description
and size. They also left us hundreds
of cannon to shoot up this ammunl-
ton with, and we are doing it with
vengeance We can hear the shells
bursting as / am writing and the
guns booming in the distance. Night
and day the artillery is in continu-
Gus uproar which for the life OF me
cannot describe 1t is worse than any
thunderstorm you ever heard. They
are being sent faster than you can
count, and while Fritz is valiantly
trying to return them, he has no
chance. He is licked and knows it.
The only way he can get back at us
with his spite is by sending planes
over us and trying to scare us by
dropping bombs. We are now getting
the upper hand Of him in this, too. His
planes are being destroyed faster
he can build them While I have
been here in France l have been
awakened by Boche planes five times,
but, although he has passed over us
during these nights, he has not
dropped any bombs closer than three
quarters Of a mile. These were so
large they shook the ground.

from since I have been here is Eddie
Sypher, who is in my line Of work,

PLAYING HUNS GAME
IS OVERCOAF|DENCE

Overconfidence has cost many a
near. winner the victory that was in
his grasp.
The allies have won tremendous
successes recently in France, not the
least of which was the premier oper-
alton of the First American army,
whose preparation for battle caused
the Germans to hastily evacuate the
St. Mihiel salient.
The war still is not won. The Hun
will battle fiercely for every inch OF
German soil that must be occupied
before the kaiser is forced TO the
complete surrender that will end the
war.
It would be fatal to our hopes of an
early victory for America to lessen its
war efforts in the slightest degree.
American troops are pouring over
seas by hundreds of thousands
month. American shipyards are turn
ing out monthly scores of ships need
ed to carry men, munitions and food
overseas. American food products are
feeding all the allied armies and much
of the allied civil population in Eu-
rope.
Americas war chest must remain
full to overflowing.
The Fourth Liberty Loan will give
America opportunity to voice it's war
call: eve Have Just Begun to
Fight"
Over-confidence, expressed in any
! lessening of the most vigorous war
efforts possible, is playing the Ger
man game, the game of behind-the-line
propaganda which has won Germany's
most notable victory, the disruption
of Russia.
Americas answer to the treachery
of Lenine and Trotsky, who were paid
German gold to surrender whole ma
tion TO the Boche yoke, must be an
overwhelming oversubscription to the
Fourth Liberty Loan.
Nothing less will shock the German
people into complete realization that
every man, woman and child of the
United States is determined to crush
her.

to the top for protection from air
raids and long-range shelling. Shells
burst in Paris while l was there, but
did not hear them, although read
where ten soldiers were killed by one
Of the shells. However, this city. Of
Paris is a big city and the shell burst
in the suburbs.
The French people go out of their
way all the time to help Americans
to have good time in every place l
have been, and there is no doubt
they appreciate Americas aid in the
scrap. The Marines particularly have
q big place for themselves in the
French hearts. The army, however,
got jealous Of the Marines and are
now more than we'll established in the
French esteem for the way they drove
the Boches thirty miles in little over
a week. Every French girl seems to
have as her aim the securing of one
of our boys as sweetheart. They
don't come up to orr girls, though, so
the girls at homo have not much to
worry about. They are not as pretty
as most of the boys expected
The place where 1 am now was in
German hands less than a month and
a half ago, yet we are very far from
the front l expect to be in an en-
tirely different place in a week, pos
sibly l will be in Italy, to which place
I applied for a transfer on account of
the cold winters here. Today it is
colder than the coolest weather we
have at home. Every town l have
passed in this section is a heap OF
ruins. The buildings are reduced to
a pile Of dust, and l wouldn't have
known there was q town there if !
hadn't been told there had been and
seen the streets leading off from the
roads. There are some towns, though,
right ia the center OF this destruction
where you will find walls standing,
and in some cases house will stand
which has been in some miraculous
manner saved without a scar, except
for few shingles being disarranged
Shell holes cover the ground and the
fields look like new plowed ground
except more like the surface of a
sieve. There are many large holes
also, where the Boche airplanes
dropped bombs. They measure 18 to
20 feet across and often are ten feet
deep. The Americans are showing the
other allies how to mix it up with
Fritz. AS stated above, they advanced
over thirty miles in about a week, and
now the allies have got the fever, and
it looks like it won't be very long
before we get the Kaiser and then
come home. When | came through
France and England I saw thousands
of Boche prisoners being moved tc
camps on the railroad. I wish we
could get them all.
In this district the Boches left
millions of big shells which they could
not take away when the Yanks made
them run faster toward home than
they had ever run. These shells weigh
about seventy-five pounds, although
