AIIotments Now SIS Flat.

Important Information For Sol
diers' and Sailors Dependents
The Red Cross issued a notice last week
to the families of soldiers and sailors in
Uncle Sans service that due to changes
in the law, all compulsory allotments are
now SIS, regardless of the pay of the
man, and the wives of men who have
been receiving more than SIS from their
husbands, will find their August check
reduced The men may allot more than
SIS, and if they do so the additional sum
will be sent by separate check.
| All allotments made to parents, broth
ers, sisters or grandchildren, which do
not carry allowance, have been discon-
tinued automatically, but the men will
be given an opportunity to make new
applications, and in the future such a l.
lotments, if made, will be paid by the
Quartermaster Department of the army
or the paymaster of each service, IN
stead of by the bureau of War Risk i'll
surance as heretofore,
Families need have no alarm if their
August check is delayed, as the men
have been informed of the change and
will be given blanks, on which new al
Iotments may be made.
Some member of the family should
mention the change in the law in their
next letter and then the men can take
up the matter with his commanding Off
Ger if for any reason he has not been
notified of the change.
Other changes in the law enlarge the
definition of the term parent to in
clude "parent" through adoption and
compensation will now be paid to de"
pendent father or mother, instead of be-
ing limited to widowed dependent
mother.
ANY parents who have lost son in the
war and were dependent on such son for
support will be entitled to compensation
under this change, which reverts back to
October 6, 1917, and should notify the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance; if blanks
have not been received by them. All
these cases are being investigated, but
some may be overlooked.
Still another change in the law provides
that automatic insurance will be paid to
the mother Gf no widow or child ire
spective of whether the mother is wild
owed. and if no mother, then to father.

After the big meeting in Bisbee Fri day night. a big double-fsted miner was in one of the soft drink parlors and he delivered himself of this little story. 10 which his fellows gave hearty approval: I'll tell you fellows look at this county removal business this way Tombstone is little camp over the divide al the end of a mighty fine road that Governor Hunt built for Cochise county and the courthouse is a big item 10 little burg. but i; would only be a drop in the bucket 10 us. But that is sentimental 1 know. but rhe big thing is that Douglas. in her usual greedy fashion. has tried to slip something over on Bisbee by fore ing the issue a; this time. but al: for standing by the government The move on the part Of Douglas is un- patriotic and am going to vote against removal. and if they put Bis bee on the ballot. am going to vote for her I may be for removal some day. but surely not to Douglas. But now my American blood is boiling against any.hing that tends to hinder the war and certainly Douglas has pulled a bone in this move. We cer- tainly have nothing to gain by moving the county seat from Tombstone 10 Douglas Why, if We assisted :n that, we wouid not only be helping our selves. but We would be actually hurt ing the north end of the county, to say nothing of damagaing the little historic camp of Tombstone and the widows and old people who have their homes and their all there.

SAYS POKER PLAYING FOR
 MONEY IS NOT ILLEGAL

YUMA. Sept. 19.-Deputy County At torney Ii. Wupperman has made pub lie an opinion that it is not against the Arizona laws for any individuals to play poker or any similar game for money. provided the game has no banking" features; that is. is not run for a profit of a manager or house holder. He is inclined to the belief that the owner or manager of such a game wodld come within the purv:ew of the law. but not the players.
 The gist of the opinion is that gamb- ling is not illegal-merely the running of gambling houses. The sheriff and chief of police state their desire to stop all gambling and complain their hands are tied.

Recai,o Old Times

The break has been one of the bold es. in the history of Arizona. and re- calls to mind when Alvord and Styles and band of criminals broke jail here about 15 years ago, by breaking through in a manner of imrossibility. through the wall. Now, however, the Cochise county jail is ore of the strongest and up-to-date jails in the country. and breaking through it a matter of impossibility. but the man. ner used by Wilson and his gang made it easy The stick used to get the jailer's gun from his desk and the loop used to tie Holland to the bars are on exhibition in the sheriffs office today

Al Kempton.. iiii' l.an and Bill Sherill intercepted them at Gar. ces Schoolhouse. where a pitched bat tie took place. over 20 shots were ey changed here. but the officers sere afraid they might kill Chambers. who was the only one known to them In the fight the butt Of Kempton's rife was struck by bullet. while the tool box of their car was also hit by bullet. The fugitives' machine was then trailed by the officers into Mexico by a trail of blood. giving indi. cation that someone had been hit. They crossed the line at San Pedro. crossing below Hereford.
 Leaving the jail. the outlaws went out in quest of machine and encoun- tered J. A. Iyey. deputy superior court clerk. and asked him where they could find gadage. telling him they had broken down big car and wanted someone 10 tow them ;n. He directed them to J. s. Chamber. owner of the Tombstone Garage and went on his way home and did not hear of the jail break until several hours afterward. It seems that the prisoners headed by Wilson. went 10 Chambers and told him the same story they told lvey until they got him into the garage. Here they covered him with their guns and were trying to make him get a car out Of the garage when L. F. Kuchenbecker. assistant cashier of the Fi-s; National Bank. came along in his car.
