CRAFTY APACHE INDIANS.

An Associated Press dispatch from
France under date of the 22d instant,
says that the American Indians in
France quickly adjust themselves to
the conditions of the country They
soon became just as cunning as in
their native haunts. This is illus
trated by an incident when the Ger
mans were Withdrawing across the
Marne. Indian scouts, with Ameri
cans, were sent over the river
At one crossing three Indians i'm
prOvised a raft and chained it to the
north side of the Marine. They hid
the raft and then started on an ex-
ploring expedition. The Germans
discovered the strange foot prints on
the river bank and came upon the
raft. They awaited the Indians re-
turn. But after accommodating, the
Indians approached their hidden raft
cautiously, and scenting trouble,
made hasty retreat
The Germans realized that these
strange red men were not of their
kind, and must therefore be an enemy
and began firing. The Indians ran
through the woods like deer and
finally struck for the water. in an
endeavor to reach the south side.
These Indians, reared along the
rivers, swan like Hawaiians and are
able to remain below the surface for
a long time. The Germans saw
splashes in the water and began fir
ing. The Indians dived and swan
downstream under water. When
they came to the surface for air they
brought up handful of clay, which
they had grabbed from the river
bottom and with this they camou-
tlaged their heads and face while on
the surface for a brief breathing
spell
Finally the Indians reached the
south bank far below the Germans,
the current assisting them very ma
terially. Then they crav led back
and peered through the bushes and
watched the Germans seeking the
bonzed figures who apparently had
been drowned. The Germans, thor
oughly angered, shot the raft to
pieces.

FOR SUPERVISOR.

Attention is called to the political
card of B. F. Hopkins of Yuma, an
nouncing himself as a candidate for
reelection to the Office of supervisor
of Yuma county, subject to the de-
cision of the democratic voters at the
coming primary election. Mr.. Hop
kins is we'll known to the people of
this county He served one term on
the board number of years ago. and
was more recently appointed to fill
the unexpired term occasioned by the
death of the late Supervisor Shanssey.
He is a man of affairs, one who un-
derstands the needs of the county,
and in his official capacity during
his present tenure of Office, has fully

A QUESTION FOR DECISION

The question as to whether a state
tax commission should be elected this
fall has been carried to the supreme
court, the case Of Sidney P. Osborn,
as secretary of state, appellant, VS..
Andrew Baumert, Jr., appellee, hav-
ing been filed in that court Monday,
on appeal from the superior court of
Maricopa county.
Through a decision by Judge Ly-
man it was declared that no vacancy
will exist on the state tax commits
sion on January /, 1919, and there
for no primary or election to fill that
Office should be held this fall.
The controversy grew oIt of the
appointment of Rudolph Kuchler to
fill the place on the commission made
vacant by the resignation of Thomas
E. Campbell. Mr.. Campbell had been
elected in 1914 for a term of six
years, and as Mr. Kuchler was ap-
pointed in January, 1916, it was de-
clared in the superior court decision
that he has four years to serve, his
term not expiring until 1920.-Re-
publican.

ANTI-BOOZE LAW UPHELD.

says the Needles Nugget.
j. "Goldie" Williams of Blythe, un-
der sentence of $500 fine and $50
days in jail, petitioned for writ Of
habeas corpus releasing him from the
custody Of the San Bernardino off
GERS.
The appellate court in Los Angeles
heard the application for the writ
and refused to grant it. Attorneys
Paul Schenck and Richard Kittrelle
represented Williams. The appellate
court held the ordinance constitu-
tional
Williams was arrested while trans
porting a load of booze from Needles
to Blythe Junction, in dry territory.
In that the ordinance as adopted
by the San Bernardino county super
visors was without precedent and de-
parted from the ordinary arti-booze
measures, the decision is important

At THE
SWANSEA NINE

Word was received in Parker Wed
nesday that strike of all the en-
ployes at the Swansea mine had been
called and everything was at stand
still there as result.
According to reports brought here
by miners, the strike was the outcome
of refusal on the part Of the man
agement of the mine to comply with
the conditions governing the raise of
fifty cents per day in wages, which
has been accorded to miners through
out Arizona, conditioned upon the
recent advance in the price of copper
by the government.
On the night before the Walk-out,
it is said, the management posted a
notice on the mine stating that
raise of fifty cents per day would be
granted, but that an additional 25
cents per day would be charged for
board, and that an advance would
also be made in the price of rents,
lights, water and medical service, the
total advance in the cost Of living to
employees amounting to something
like 81 or more per day. This they
contend is contrary to the spirit Of
the agreement wherein it was intend
ed and understood that the benefit In
the advance in the price of copper
should be shared by both employers
and employees.
The mine employs in the neighbor-
hood of 200 miners.

Tire Lost and Found.

F. j. Hammond, a prominent sheep
man from Phoenix, passed through
Parker by auto this week, accompan-
led by his family en- route to the
coast About a mile beyond the
bridge Mr. Hammond lost from his
car a new $65 tire, but did not miss
it until he had gone about "a mile
further. In the meantime he passed
on the road a man and his wife going
in the opposite direction in a little
red car AS soon as he missed the
tire he turned back and made haste
to overtake the parties whom he met,
as they would undoubtedly find the
tire. He reached Parker only to
learn that the little red car had been
here but had gone on toward Bouse.
He continued in pursuit and over
took the red car about twelve miles
from here The parties had the tire
in question which they duly surren-
dered, but with no very satisfactory
explanation for having carried it
past Parker, so Mr.. HammOnd's
faith in humanity is not as strong as
before he lost the tire.

Retiring from the land commission

was nominated by his party without
opposition. His election followed
as a matter of course. AS state SEN

A RELIC OF LONG AGO.

At the local express Office Friday
afternoon, consigned to Roland Mosh-
er, Jr., was Henry rifle, still in fine
working order, which has a remark
able history. 1t had been slumb bering
for over generation at the home of
j. d. Mason in Skull valley, and it's
resurrection was due to the wish of
Mr.. Mason to have it properly cared
for and preserved as a family relic by
Mr.. MOsher, who is a nephew of the
original owner, I. P. Burnett, of this
city
The history of the weapon is in
teresting, and from Mr.. Burnett the
story of it's past usefulness during
Apache warfare and in hunting big
game, will hardly be appreciated in
this day when the modern firearm is
contrasted with the primitive one of
the past. Said this we'll known pio-
neer after he had picked up the gun
and looked it over for certain marks
Of identification
eyes, that's the old boy, and can
prove ownership right now. Pointing
to the brass plate in the left side of
the cartridge chamber was the dim
marking of "C-B, 1870" That"
he said, was done by my brother,
Charles Burnett, and revives our first
Indian fight on Ash creek, near Wal
nut Grove, in March of 1870. He used
a pen knife to chronicle the date and
the event. After his death, in later
years, when killed by lightning near
what is now Mercy hospital, this rifle
shifted to different owners and when
the needle gun came along it was of
no further use. l bought two of these
Henrys from John G. Campbell in
Prescott paying for each $65. The
cartridges cost 10 cents each, of "A
calibre. When we went out to hunt
for the market, one of us would go
ahead about 200 yards apart, so that
the Apache could not double team on
us.
With these dandy breech leaders
we felt secure, as the Indian knew
what they would do when they got to
barking. These were the first two
Henry rifles brought to Prescott, and
they arrived overland from San Fran
cisco in the latter part of 1869. am
glad that my nephew gets it, and
want it to be kept in the family as
long as there are any of us left
Mr.. Burentt also stated that he
first pulled the lever to insert a car
fridge in the chamber nearly half
century ago, and was surprised to
find the mechanism again working so
smoothly. This gun and it's compan-
ions sustained his family by hunting
game for many years and in addition
served scores of white men by making
many good Indian Prescott
