MEXICAN WOUNDED
 MAN SURRENDERS
MEXICAN THOUGHT TO BE DE- VENTED, TERRlFiES MRS. JOE LEONARD WHOSE HUSBAND
 SHOOTS INTRUDER. sz

Mrs. Leonard, wife of Joe Leon ard, who is at work on the dyke above Clifton, had thrilling experience on last Monday with what is supposed to have been a crazy Mexican. While alone in the home the man came to the house and asked her for drink of water. She gave him drink. and then he requested food, which she also gave him. The Mexican then attempted to come into the house, which frightened the lady, who procured rife and threatened to shoot him. The man did not stop for the threat, and the weapon failed to check him in his advance in- to the dwelling. By this time Mrs. Leonard became considerably fright ened, so she fled from the house, with the man pursuing her with hammer which he had secured in the house. In her flight she threw the rifle away. The lady stated the reason that she did not shoot him was that she only had one cartridge in the rife, and thought if she shot and missed him that the man would then kill her, and as the opportunity presented itself for her to escape she sought safety in flight. MT. Leonard, who was at work on the dyke saw his wife run ming, and at once went to her assist ance In doing so he had to go by the house, where he secured his pis tol, then joined his wife. During this time the man had gotten out oi sight. Mr. Leonard was soon joined by his brother, and the three start ed to look for the Mexican. They came upon him in the Leonard home where he had taken possession, and was quietly cooking something te eat. MT. Leonard ordered him out of the house, but instead of complying he advanced upon them with the ham mer and the frying pan in which he was using to fry some meat, anc threw the pan at Leonard. Then i was that Laonard fired to frighteI him, but the shot had no effect upor the man, and the second shot was fired to hit, striking the Mexican neal the left collar bone, ranging down ward and coming out in the back o the right side.
 1 Before the shooting took palce the Mexican had been seen near the dyke and some one had phoned to Deputy George Hill at Morenci, to come out and get a crazy Mexican who was roaming about that locality. WheI MT. Hill arrived on the scene he found the Mexican badly wounded. but securely tied, as it was deemed best | to secure him, as none knew how badly his wounds were, and the prin ciple of safety first, was applied.
 MT. Hill brought the wounded mar to Clifton and took him to the A. c hospital where his injuries were giveI attention. An X-ray was taken O the wound, which the surgeon stated was not necessarily fatal, but tho wounded man failed to rally, and diet Wednesday morning at 7:45 at the A | c. hospital.
 The mans name was Leocardo Gut tierrez, and made his home in Moreno where he has a brother living. Hi mind has been affected for some time though he was considered harmless. ] MT. Leonard was released on hi own recognizance awaiting the resul of the injuries to the wounded man after he came in last Monday and SUI ! rendered to Sheriff Slaughter.

eankhead Delegates Return

Messrs. Dell M. Potter and Frank H. Springer returned last Monday from Little Rock, Ark, where they went as delegates to the Bankhead High way convention. Both came back greatly encouraged at the prospect of securing the highway over this route. The convention endorsed the plan of consolidating the highways and peti- tioning the Federal government to complete the same and designate the highway as military road. Stated these gentlemen it Is almost sure that the route through Greenlee will even- tually be chosen as the route for the Bankhead highway. The many ad- vantages presented over any other route was too apparent to cause any uneasiness over the possibility of any other being designated. They stat ed that the convention was largely at tended, and the trip was an enjoyable one. Mineral Wells, Texas, was chosen as the next meeting place.

Gentlemen may cry peace, peace-but there is no peace. '* Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? . = Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"-Patrick Henry. 1775.

"A Board of the Council of National Defense
Gently recommended the consolidation of competi-

A duplication of delivery routes also causes

stag Food Commission last Friday.

THE Vienna correspondent of the
Munich Neueste Nachrichten in
forms his paper that the President

made to the food committee a very
pessimistic expose of the situation.
Since the beginning of the war. he
said, the situation never has been so
precArious.
The government finds itself obliG-
ed TO make a new appeal to the SELF
sacrifice of the agriculturists. II

to bring all their influence to bear
upon the population so that during
these anxious days necessary calm
and composure may be maintained"

catarrh and abolish it's disgusting
symptoms wherever civilization exists.
Every year the already enormous
sales of this really scientific treat
ment for catarrh grow greater, and
the present year should show all rec
ords broken.
If you breathe Hyomei daily as d.
rected il will end your catarrh, or it
won't cost you cent.
If you have a hard rubber Hyomei
inhaler somewhere around the house,
get it out and start it at once to for
ever rid yourself of catarrh.
II. c. Kennedy, or any other good
druggist, will sell you bottle of

TEACHERS IN CITY
SCHOOLS ALL GET
INCREASE OF PAY
President Enders Says Tax
Rate Won't Exceed Eleven
and One-Half Mills

A school tax rate of eleven or
eleven and one-half mills, an ad-
vance of one or one and one-half
mills, was forecasted by Robert A
Enders, president of the Harrisburg
School Board. to-day. as a result OF
increases of expenses due to war
conditions. Mr.. Enders made pub
lie statement following the publish
ed assertion that the tax rate would
be advanced two or three mills due
to the increased salaries it has been
found necessary to pay teachers.
81 observed in a local morning
newspaper" said President Enders.
that it was the opinion of some OF
the school authorities that the school
tax rate necessarily would be in
creased two or three mills because
of the teachers salary increases.
This, in my judgment, is not stating
the facts correctly. In my conclu-
sions concerning the facts in the
case (and / speak conservatively)
there is strong probability of keep
ing the tax rate down to eleven
mills. Eleven and one-half mills at
most will provide ample funds to
meet all requirements.
There is, however. a small deficit
incurred through the redemption OF
HthuS lOT WHICH there NdS ho sum
ing fund provision This deficit can
he carried and finally paid through
the sale of certain properties which
are not now essential TO the opera
tion of our schools.
Considering the very high cost OF
all supplies, due to the war. I am
justified in saying that an advance
of one and one-half mills on the
school tax rate is not eXtravagant,
but rather deserves praise for eco
nomical management.
THE teachers salaIy increase was
entirely proper. These faithful SER
wants of the public are indeed poorly
paid in comparison with the splendid
services they render and it was only
fair and just that they should re-
ceive additional compensation dur
ing this period of the high-cost Of
living.
"Our children also deserve the
best instructors and we cannot have
them unless we are willing. as tax
payers, to treat them fairly. Harris
