Peace Offensive" Cannot Be
Fruitful With Entente in
Full knowledge of Plans of

While Austria was preparing
her note to the belligerent
nations, proposing that they
meet in informal discussion of
peace terms in a neutral country,
Germany was making ready to
make another offer of separate
peace to Belgium. 1t is an
nounced that the Belgian gov
ernment has been approached
with a proposal that if she will
remain neutral during the re-
mainder of the war, Germany is
ready to withdraw to the from
tiers that were violated in
August, 1914.
Austria Acts Alone
1t is affirmed from Berlin that
the Austrian government acted
on its own initiative in sending
out its peace proposals, but the
offer of Germany to Belgium
points to what may be said to
be more than a coincidence, and
probably a desperate peace Of

If official sentiment is reflected
by newspaper comment at the
Entente capitals the effort OF the
Central Powers to reach peace
by negotiation are doomed to
failure. In London and Paris
the offer of Austria was very
coldly received while at Wash
ington it is pointed out that the
United States will not entertain
any peace tentatives that can, at
best, bring about only a tenn
porary respite from hostilities
and will leave Germany and
Austria free to break the peace
of the world at any future date.

Dealing Ont The Law In The
Good Old Days In Arizona

FUNHE RECENT VISIT to Phoenix of
Tom Turner, former sheriff of
Santa Cruz county, and now en-
gagged in the cattle business on the
California side of the river above
Needles. recalled some stirring incl
dents of his career which has been
mostly in Arizona.
Mr.. Turner came to the territory
from Texas when very young man
and he settled on a ranch on the san
Pedro below Benson. He had a little
money which he invested in stock. One
night a band of Mexican cattle rustlers
invaded his ranch and ran off &c head
of horses. Turner took the trail the
next morning and overlook the thieves
in the northern end of the Chiricahuas.
In the fight that ensued he killed
ihree of them. A fourth made his es-
cape. The Mexicans had been guess
ing pretty close at the proximity Of
Turner. One bullet cut hole in his
sleev and another went through the
fleshy part of a leg.
Turner knew very little about the
aw, but he had an almost supersti-
tious regard for it, He knew that the
killing Of a human being was pretty
serious business. He did not know
what might be done to him, but he
feared it would be a plenty.
He rounded up his horses in a sort of
natural coral and set out for Wilcox
where he arrived the next morning.
He was directed to the justice of the
peace, a venerable and solemn visaged
parsonage. to whom he related the
story of his adventure. The justice Of
Tered no comment, but invited Turner
% breakfast.
Then he rounded up a coroner's jury
and with Turner set out for the scene
If the tragedy. An inquest was held
and the bodies were buried and the
party returned to Wilcox. No intima-
ton had been given Turner as to his
probable fate The party went into the
back room of a saloon for an adjudica-
ton of the affair. Turner was invited
to tell his story to the jury. He did

at Turner.
Young man." said he; you have
committed a very serious offenSe, and
you deserve the severest punishment
this court can inflict upon you.
Damned if ! don't fine you the drinks
for the town for letting that other
Mexican get away"
Turner at once began the payment
of the fine. 1t took him all day to
round up the populace Of Wilcox, but
eventually he treated every man who
could be induced to take drink. 1t
cost him $14.
When Turner was elected sheriff of
Santa Cruz county. he found the Gus
tom of pistol toting prevalent. 1t was
worse there than in any other place in
the west. There were not many homi-
cides, fact probably due to the uni
versal armament of the population
Everybody was afraid to start any
thing.
The clerks in the stores all packed
guns. When they left their work at
night they buckled on their six-shoot-
ers and infested the dance halls and
gambling houses. Turner determined
to break up the pistol packing custom.
He first published or posted a notice
that it was contrary to the law and
gave warning that the law would be
enforced. Soon thereafter one night
he entered the Palace. kept by NJ. NJ.

done, it is asserted, the ministry Of
war will be offered to General Richeri,

ministry of marine probably will be
offered to Senior O'Connor or Senior
