FARMER ATTACKS.
FEDERAL AGENT
Liberty Bond Canvass Results in
; Trouble Near Garwin-W. Lewis Al
legged to Have Refused to Buy Bond
and to Have Assaulted Officer.

Special to Times Republican.
Toledo, April 13.-The community Of
Garwin has been stirred by incidents
growing out Of the refusal Of far
mer near there to purchase liberty
bond. It is alleged that when w. Lewis,
who resides three and one half miles
southeast of Garwin, was solicited to
purchase $50 bond he replied that he
would not borrow money with which
to make the purchase Federal Agent
Saunders was notified of the case and
sought an interview with Lewis. and
alleges that Lewis attacked him with
monkeywrench.
Agent Saunders and other citizens
Investigated thoroughly the financial
condition of Lewis and concluded he
was not able to buy a bond and
should not be pressed to do so. Mr..
Saunders, however, lectured the man
severely, and told him that in the fu-
ture he must show more patriotism
and treat all warwork solicitors
courteously. ~

their success of last night which gave
them possession of Mrville. The en-

large numbers Of troops into the con-

The fighting today continued to be
of the bitterest nature not only in
the Merville neighborhod but also
northward from Givenchy..
Yesterday and last night the enemy
continued his pressure from wys-

the British to fall back from Ploeg-

RED CROSS NOTES

It is interesting to note that the
first American ambulance service in
France was started at the beginning
of the Franco-Prussian war in 1870
by an American engineer, George
Bradford Mcfarland, and his wife,
Marie, Frenchwoman known as "The
Little Mother of Paris" An old gov
ernment truck was procured, covered
with canvas, and in it were built four
cots. An old theater building was con-
verted into hospital and, through
the efforts of the little Frenchwoman,
was completely equipped with the aid
of her countrywomen.
At night Marie would scour the bat
tlefleld with her lantern, lending aid
and succor to the wounded, and her
husband would rush them to the hos
pltal as fast as his horses could go.
1t was estimated that these two alone
saved some 1900 lives-not many in
warfare as we know it today, but then
alrplanes, gas bombs and machine
guns were unknown. For their valiant
service they were presented with the
French medal of honor, "The Bronze
Cross"

Cross?

SUPERIOR DISTRICT rs
ADDING PRODUCERS

Magma Copper company and the Su-
perior Arizona Copper company in the
Superior district have made large
gains the present in point of adding
new ore areas to the assets of the
state. The Grand Pacific, Queen
Creek and Fortuna properties in the
same district have placed themselves
in the way of making mines In every
other large copper district in the state
there has been like headway with work
from which results would be assured
in a material way in 1918 should the
price of copper advance. In the class
of near producers of metal needing the
assistance of higher price in order to
be encouraged with their development
and enabled to output ore, Jerome has
three properties, Globe and Miami five,
Bisbee two, Ray two. In the smaller
operating districts of the state there
are a number of others.
