RED LIQUOR ID BE GIVEN ID
 UNCLE SAM
GOVERNMENT WILL TAKE OVER CONTRABAND IN TOXICANTS AND RE-DIS- TILL THEM AND EXTRACT ALCOHOLIC CONTENTS.
(From Thursdays Daily.l

Arrangements were completed this week between Superior Judge J. J. Sweeney and United States Marshal Joe Dillon, whereby the federal au- thorities are to take charge of the large amount of conhscated liquor which is now stored in the county jail, the government intending to ship the bottled wares to point in Wisconsin, where it will be re-dis- titled and the alcoholic content ex- tractcd.
 For several weeks it has been talked about that the federal govern ment would take over all the brew and distilled products seized from captured bootlcggers, and instead of destroying the stuff, would recover the alcohol it contained and put the latter-named spirits to some good use, alcohol being somewhat scarce just now. In years past, many thous- ands of dollars worth of perfectly good red liquor has been poured into the sewers. and only last fall nearly $5,OO0 worth of liquor was destroyed in this manner in Prescott.
 Much of the liquor rcposing in the Prescott jail just now is that seized while en route from California or New Mexico into this State, being taken while the importer was violat ing the Wcbb-Kcnyon act. which prohibits the introduction of booze from a wet state into dry one This booze is now the property of the government. and Judge Sweeney's consent had to be obtained before the booze captured by the county au- thorities could be donated to Uncle Sam
 Undersheriff Johnnie Robinson, who is the official custodian of the distilled products now stored in the Yavapai bastile, has the stuff locked up in a special booze cell on the sec ond floor. Not only is the big lock on the door guarding the treasure, but a large logging chain is also sc curely cntwined through the bars on the door and the iron door jamb, and securely locked. It takes the com bined efforts of three men to get the place unlocked, according to Mir. Robinson, but in view of the fact that Uncle Sam is going to horn in and take charge of the wares and treas ures which the sheriff's office has taken so much pains to collect, 1t IS quite probable that Mir. Robinson will consent to having the fastcnings of this particular cell reduced to a point where not more than two men will be required to open up the place
 It was former Governor Tom Campbell who first suggested that the liquor be put to the use above men tioned instead of destroying it. Mir. Campbells idea was that the alcohol could be used to good advantage byI the Red Cross or the |. s. army. and in view of the fact that the distil- lcries had practically stopped it's it would be a wilful waste to longer turn the alcoholic liquor into the sewer.

JOE AND BUD STEPHENS AXE HELD TO SUPERIOR
 COURT FOR MURDER
(From Wednesdays Daily)


 At the preliminary hearing held yesterday afternoon and evening in the court of Justice McLane, Joseph Stephens and his son Bud were bound over to the Superior court on charges of murder, both defendants having been held as principals in the killing of Robert Miller which occurred in Prescott on Tuesday, April ?.
 As soon as the proceedings opened at two o'clock new warrant was served on the defendants, the war rant charging them jointly with the killing of Miller. The warrant was designed to displace the ones which had been filed earlier in the week and which charged each defendant with separate offenses
 Special Prosecutor F. s. Clark an nounced in court during the afternoon that he would make an effort to have the bond in each case raised from S30,000 to S50,000, and Justice McLane fixed Saturday morning at ten o'clock as the time for fixing the new bonds which will be necessary owing to the fact that the defendants have been held to the higher court In the mean time. the old bonds will remain ef- fcctive.
 Most Of yesterdays session was given over to the examination of wit ncsscs produced by the State. E. s. Clark, assisted by Deputy County Attorney Perry Ling and Alex Jones, special assistant, took charge of the matter, while the defendants attor- neys, O'Sullivan and Morgan, were also present Practically the same line of testimony was produced as that given before the coroner's jury, many Of the same witnesses being examined. The testimony of the wit ncsses brought in by the State lasted until an adjournment was taken at five o'clock. The hearing was re- sumed again at seven o'clock, and three witnesses brought in by the de- fensc were examined John Vickers, who spent most of Monday, the day of the killing, with Bud Stephens, the proprietor of the Golden Eagle room ing house, and carpenter named Sheppard were the three produced by the attorneys for the defense. These three were permitted to give practi- cally no evidence. however, the court ruling that their testimony was mad missible at this time. Vickers had been called to testify as to the mental condition of young Stephens on the day he shot Miller, it being the con tcntion of the defense that the lad was in very nervous state at the time the fatality took place, the boy having. it is said, had no sleep for the two nights preceding. The Col den Eagle man had been summoned to testify to the fact that Miller had engaged a room on the night just be- fore he was killed. The testimony which Sheppard had intended to give had to do with the length of time that elapsed during the visit of Mrs. Stephens and AIarlow and Marks at the Stephens ranch on Sunday night. March 3lst. .-r'
 The trial of Stephens and his son will in all probability not take place until the jury session of the Superior court which will open in July. The court will be installed in the quarters in the new county building by that date, 1t is believed.

There are some wicked shells come

right back at the Huns for every one
they send to us. 6

craft guns chasing the Kaiser's air
planes back to their lines. We have
quite a few air battles here, but |
haven't seen plane fall yet.
Guess we will go back to the front
tomorrow but it rs a vacation for the

We had mail yesterday and l re-
ceived letter from you, Gald to

as at present writing l am feeling
fine. Well, I will try and tell you
of what l am doing and l hope the
censor lets it alone.
You know, of course, that am in
the heavy artillery and the heavy ar
tillery is not used in the front line
| trenches. We are stationed three or
| four kilometers behind the front line
and our work. is to blow railroad
centers and places where they have
stores that are in our range
Aeroplanes play great part in our
work as they locate the target, give
us the range and then tell us what
kind of shooting we do. So far we
have showed great skill in being able
to score hits. But as the infantry ad-
vances we cannot stand still, we have
to move forward, and then there is
where my part in this great machine
comes in. Once in a while German
aviator comes over and makes US
hunt our holes (dugouts.) But some
times our aviators are up and we see
an air battle That is sure some
sight. | cannot describe it on paper.
The only way person could really
know what they do is to see one.
We have one aviator that comes over
us and does stunts up in the air to
relieve the strain and some of them
makes one hold his breath for fear
he will be crushed to earth before
he can right himself but some how
or other he never falls. [ would GER
tainly love to be pilot OF one of
those little single-seaters. Maybe
some day l will be if l ever get the
chance
Now for my part, at present | am
in a transportation outfit and it is our
duty to haul ammunition up to the
fellows where the narrow gauge don't
go and when they want the guns UP
little further we take our tractors and
move them where they want them.
Large calibre guns roll around on
wheels something similar to a large
wagon. 1t is sure work sometimes.
We have a number of large trucks
and tractors, motorcycles, touring
cars and Fords and / am qualified on
ANYTHING that has wheels but l like
the Indian motorcycle best of all. l
have driven a Dodge, Cadillac eight
truck and tractor, but now l am
mechanic on repairs. I hope some
dav to become a despatch rider.
Now, don't think because we are
