Eugene NoorhiesLs
KiHedbyExplosion
Near Ajo, Arizona

News of the death by explosion OF
Eugene VOORHEES, at Ajo, Ariz., was
received Sunday in telegram to DR.
J. L. VOORHEES,, an uncle of the deceas
ed, which stated that the funeral ar
rangements had not been made. No
particulars OF the tragedy were given
other than that his death was caused
by an explosion and that he died at
1880 o'clock Sunday night.
Mr.. VOORHEES, was superintendent OF
a copper mine at Ajo and was con
sidered one of the most expert copper
miners in America. He was engaged
for some time in mining operations at
Ruth, Nevada, and it will be remem
bered that about two years ago a mo.
ton picture film sent to DR.. ]. l.. Voor-
HES was exhibited at a local theatre,
in which Eugene VOORHEES, appeared
frequently and in one scene he pulled
the electric switch which set Of an
explosion that is said to have been
the greatest single shot ever made
on the earth. Two thousand five hun
dred tons of powder was exploded at
one time. The film was made by the
Trojan Powder Co., of San Francisco
and required two weeks in the max.

DIR. VOORHEES, stated this morning
that his nephew once told him that a
house occupied by himself and wife
was blown up by 500 pounds of dyna.
mite but neither he nor his wife was
injured. Three men were sent to the
penitentiary for this attempt on his
life.

HIGHT WINS CUSTER SUIT
SUPREME COURT DECISION

Brooks died and the supreme court or
dered the suit abated at the cost of
the REALTORS
In the case of w. P. Erwin against
the State sent up from Maury county
involving the constitutionality of the
dog law, the decision Of the supreme
court upheld the law and reversed the
case and ordered 1t back for a new
trial.
The opinion in the case was handed
down by Judge Fentress and in de-
livering the opinion he upheld the con-
stitutionality of the dog law, act of
1917, requiring all femal dogs three
months or over to be registered. The
circuit court clerk is required to regis
ter the female dogs in his county and
to furnish at cost, collars to be worn
by such dogs, and to pay all revenue
collected above expenses of registra-
ton to the county trustee for school
purposes.
1t will BIO recalled that Mr.. Erwin
and number of other owners of
hounds failed to register their femal
dogs and they were indicted before
the grand jury. and the cast of Mr..
Erwin was the only case tried, accord
ing to agreement. The case was won
by Erwin in the lower court and the
state appealed to the supreme court
through county attorney W. C. Whit
thorne, with the above results.
This VIRTUALLY means that all female
dogs will have to be registered and it
becomes the duty of the circuit court
clerk to see that the law is enforced.
1t is understood that the owners of
the hounds are ready and willing to
pay the taxes on their dogs If the au.
thorities will enforce it to the letter
against all classes Of dogs. A prom.
inent fox hunter stated to herald re-
porter not long since, that he was
heartily in favor of the law and would
gladly pay the tax on every female
dog he had but that he wanted the
owner of every curr to have to do the
same thing.

with its real meaning and use. They
feel that no community can afford to
rear its boys and girls in an atmos-
pher Of Sabbath breaking; for, aside
from the fact that it is wrong in It,
self, it has always been the indext to
general letting-down in morals. The
sanctity of the Christian Sunday must
be maintained II our youths are to
grow up with clean, strong characters.
They are proud of their heritage of
right thinking and right living; proud
Of their heritage of courage and free

were bequeathed to the by Sabbath
loving and keeping fathers. They feel
that there is much more to this than
a mere opening or 'closing'-that the
young Americans growing up around
us deserve the best moral atmosphere
in which to develop characters worthy
of our national traditions; and, for
this reason, the w. c. T. U. declares
itself ready to use its power and in
fluence to keep this Sunday closing
law in effect.
"As means of doing this, they
have decided to buy from only those
merchants who observe this law, and
to do rything possible to encour-
age such public sentiment"
