He was the owner of Zeiger hotel, Fl Paso, as well as the Beehive mine, at Octave, this county, which he shut down on his last trip to the property early in July, giving as a reason lack of machinery which had failed to arrive from the cast.

EX-SECY. OF WAR IN CITY FOR A
 SHORT VISIT
HON. GEORGE D. MEIKLE- JOHN OF OMAHA COMES TO ARIZONA TO LOOK OVER OIL SITUATION; IN MCKINLEY CABINET.
(From Sundays naily)

Hon. George D. Meiklejohn of Omaha arrived in Prescott yesterday evening and will remain here for few days looking after some of his local interests Mir NIeiklejohn is heavily interested in the Holbrook oil fields and has just come here from an inspection trip through that part of the State.
 Mir. Mciklejohn has had varied and interesting career in politics, his activities having at one time carried him to Washington to fill the position of secretary of war during the ad ministration of the late President Me Kinlcy. He resigned from this high position during the term of President Roosevelt Mir Meiklejohn served two terms in the lower house of con gross. representing the district in which Omaha is situated. He was also lieutenant goveror of Nebraska.
 Perhaps the most interesting polit- ical entanglement in which .the dis tinguished Nebraskan ever found him. self in was staged a decade or two ago. at which time the Nebraska legis- lature remained in a deadlock for 57 days trying to make a choice for United States senator, the race hay ing been between Mir. Meiklejohn and the late Edward Rosewater of Omaha Bee fame. Noting the fact that there seemed little chance of either of them being able to carry off the honors from this long-drawn-out battle, both Mir. Meiklciohn and Editor Rose water withdrew and allowed "darK horse" candidate to win the fight.
 During late years NIT. Meiklejohn was associated in the practice of law with the late U. s. Senator John NJ. Thurston. He will leave Prescott the first of the week for coast points.

AVIATOR TAKEN AS CANADIAN
 DESERTER
(From Tuesdays Daily0

Allen Marshall, a young man who came to Prescott several weeks ago wearing the uniform of lieutenant in the Canadian Flying Corps, was taken into custody by Lieutenant George II. Mackay of Toronto, On tario. charged with being a deserter from the Canadian army. Officer Mackay and his prisoner left for the north yesterday afternoon. Accord- ing to the story told by Alackay. young Marshall had been in the Royal flying service but had been given a leave oi absence following an aerial accident. The young man came here and when called upon to return to his duties in the Dominion. refused to do so. stating that he was unable to travel.
 Several weeks ago. the military authorities at Toronto communicated witk Chief of Police Bloom of Pres colt, the officer having been asked to get a line on Marshall and ascer- tain whether or not the young fel- low was in as bad physical condition aS he had represented to the Canad- ian officers. The chief kept an eye on the young man for a number or weeks. and finally reported to the Toronto office that Marshall was ap- parcntly in good shape, and was spending most of his time in the com pany with a number of young wo- men of this city The latter part of last week Chief Bloom received word that the Canadian authorities would send a man here in a few days to get the young man, and asking the police official to keep watch on Marshall.
 Lieutenant Mackay arrived in Pres colt early yesterday morning and at once began his hunt for Marshall. With the aid of Mir Bloom, Marshall was located out at the Lynx crossing. where he was watching a gold dredge operate. When taken into custody. Marshall stoutly avcrred that he was in no shape to travel, and while he resented very much being taken back 10 Canada. announced that he would not resist his removal from the United States into the Dominion. Of- ficer Mackay had come prepared with the necessary papers to secure the young mans removal ii the latter had demanded such a procedure.
 In commenting upon the case, Lieutenant Mackay stated yesterday afternoon that the Canadian authori- ties had a clcar-cut case of desertion against young Marshall, and that the youth had persistcntly refused to come back for service when he had been called. It is not now the policy of the Canadian military authorities 10 shoot dcsertcrs, the officer said. but in all probability, the prisoner would be reduced in rank and sent to the firing line at the first opportun- itv.

 Whereas, such crimes are but part Of series of so-called acts of war" which have been officially authorized and sanctioned by the Inn perial German Government, and
 Whereas, such crimes and atroci- ties are violations of all rules of civi- Iizcd warfare and are incompatible with national dignity and integrity md only comparable to the acts of 1arbarians, and
 Whereas. the flower of American youth is now sacrificing everything, including life itself. in order that the )crnicious ideas and methods of the German Government may not spread over the World, and
 Whereas, it is absolutely incon- sistcnt with out War activities that we encourage or even permit instruc- ion in German language or German 7ubicCts. and

KINGMAN PAPERS GIVE
 NOTICE OF CONSOLIDATION
(From Sundays Daiiv.D

Kingman's two weekly newspapers, the Mohavc County Miner and Our Mineral Wealth, have effected a con- solidation and hereafter will be issued from the Miner plant. For the past year or 90 the Miner has been the democratic organ while the other pub lication had republican tendencies. The consolidated publication will be independent politically and will be under direct control of Editor Anson Smith of the old Miner organization.
 While at one time a couple of years apo while the Oatman boom was on, .Ningman supported daily and a weekly in nice fashion, 1t seems that dull times have since made it neces- sary for one publication 10 be elimi- mated. The daily edition of the Miner was discontinued about one year ago. Our Mineral Wealth has for the past few years been owned by the Desert Power & Water Company and the Tarr. McComb & Ware Commercial Company Of Kineman, but has never been a success financially since the days when it was edited by kcan St. Charles. one Of the pioneer newspaper men of the southwest.

 RANCH BURNS
(From Sundays DaITv)

lOlll slAAlhoN , a<a-'--
 The large barn on Joe Stephens home place, the Nalindo Rancho, in Williamson valley. was struck by lightning shortly after six o'clock yes tcrday evening and burned to the ground. the fire destroying a large lot of farm implements, harness, sad dies and large part of the new hay crop and cntailin% a loss ot about S25.OOO. There was S5,O0O insurance on the building and contents. The barn. one of the largest and finest in the entire State, was completed last winter and at the time the struc- tr,rc was finished Mir. Stephens stag ed therein one of the biggest dances ever held in this county.
 The barn was about 50Xl5O feet m size and was equipped with concrete floors. concrete stanchions and in fact every improvement that was known for such buildings. The lower part of the structure was of concrete and the upper portions were frame con struction. The fire started just after the ranch hands had finished their days work and had deposited all ot the wagons, saddles and harness in side. Seven or eight head of horses had been put up for the night, but all of the animals were rescued by the men before the barn had been com- plctcly envelopcd by the flames.
 This is the second barn fire which Mir. Stephens has suffered within the past six months. \ smaller barn was destroyed early in the spring, the fire having been of supposed incendiary

the world echoed for a month with the victories and exploits of this dar- ing soldier corps. Said Secretary Daniels of the Navy a short time ago:
 Marines are writing new pages in history. and I take off my hat to you enlisted men, knowing that when you too go. you go with the hope and blessing and faith of America"
 The [. s. Marines are the U. s. navy's soldiers for first offensives, as they have been so often the U. $. army's. From the tropics to the Arc tics they lead the way, and nothing could be more intensely thrilling than the valor of this arm when it stopped the Hun on the Marne only last month and held him down until the main columns came up to put on the finishing touches.
 Sergeant Thompson IS intensely in teresting in his narratives of Marine valor, during the present war, as well does he ably cover a wide range ot possibilities to the young man who enlists. He mentions this fact, that the corps affords opportunity for aviators-for men who can be train ed to do the air fighting. which is to add another distinguishing mark to the all-around qualifications for which the L. s. Marines are SO famous.
 The recruiting drive now in pro- gross gives to thousands Of men be- tween the ages of IS and 30 years of age the opportunity of enlisting. Those who are under the age of registration for the selcctive draft are free to en- ter at once. while those who are with in the limits of registration may ap- ply to the local board for the requis- itc permission.
 You don't have to be ring cham pion to get into the Marines. If a man is sound and healthy the U. $. Marine Corps training will make a peter fighter of him in few months than many a champion has been all his life. What brains you've got and what education you've had will be helped along by the Marine Corps in- struction until none of your compan- ions can give you cards or spades in the all-important business of being a i first-class fighting man and marine to boot. It's fair field and no favor, and let the best man win. Recruiting | for the Marines IS separate and apart from the navy and army.

The first auto drivers to fall vic timS to the enforcement of the city ordinance which forbids cars being driven about town with open cutouts. were c. F.. Fitzgerald and D. A. Mar GUS. both of whom were fined $500 in the court of Police Judge Whis- man yesterday morning. Chief of Po- lice Bloom caused the arrest of the motorists and succeeded m having a fine imposed in each case.
 Clair Thompson was arrested later in the day on charge of running with a open muffler and speeding. For this double offense he was as sessed S10.
 George Kelley. a driver in the eIu- ploy of D. F. Johnson. was fined Sl0 for disobeying an order which had been issued to him by Chief Bloom few days before It seems that the driver of the car had been running without a State license plate. The chief had notified the driver that the car must have the license tag muy pronto. but the latter was not forth coming after a reasonable length of time and hence the fine
