 In other words, if we were far enough away from the sun there would be enough of these particles between ourselves and that luminary to render 1t invisible to us.

 TRIP PROVES PLEASANT ONE

Sheriff Slaughter, who left here on Monday of lost week for Port Huron Michigan, where he went armed with extraditiOn papers for Miguel Munoz who is wanted in this county for the murder of Mexican in Morenci iu December, 1916. A full statement oi the killing, and flight of the fugitive has already been published.
 MT. Slaughter states that he went direct from Lordsburg to Chicago without stop, and thence to Detroit where he stopped over some time. At Detroit he met an old friend John Hughes, whom he had known intimately at St. Johns, Hughes was glad to see him, and was extremely courteous in showing him the places of interest in that city. MT. Slaugh. ter stated that he regretted that he was so pressed for time that he could not remain there longer. His friend is chief of police of the terminal sta. tion police in that city, and was able to make the sheriff's stay most pleas ant.
 Reaching Huron he found his man in the jail, who recognized the sheriff. Up to MT. Slaughter's arrival Munoz had denied his identity, protesting that he was the wrong man, and evi- dently mistaken for twin brother. |. Before his arrest Munoz had been working on a railroad out of Huron with eight Mexicans. One of this number shot a white man and escap- ed just before MT. Slaughter's arrival, and with his departure. with his pris- oner only seven of the citizens of the southern republic remained in that cold climate. After MT. Slaughter arrived Munoz acknowledged to the Michigan officers that he was the man wanted. He stated that after leaving Morenci he worked at the 85 mine, then at Deming, going to Kansas and Michigan.
 The return trip was uneventful. The prisoner giving the sheriff no trouble. In speaking of his wife to MT. Slaugh- ter Munoz stated that "she was no longer a wife to him, and that he did not want her to come to see him. '" He admitted the killing, but said it was in self defense.

HARRY WRIGHT CONVICTED OF VIOLATION OF FEDERAL GQU- OR LAW FINED ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS AND ONE YEAR AT LEAVENWORTH.

Harry A. Wright, former resident of Clifton, where prior to the enact ment of the Prohibition law he was engaged in the liquor business, was cony icted in the Federal court at Tucson this week for a conspiracy to transport liquor from New Mexico to Arizona and was sentenced by Fed eral Judge Sawtelle to one year and a day in the Federal penitentiary at Fit .,s.Leavenworth, .,s. Kansas, and in ad- dition, was compelled to pay a fine of one thousand dollars. A12si'a-a
 At the same time his partner, Bill Bardon. received like sentence. The case grew out of transaction alleg- ed to have occurred between .Rodeo, N. M., where Wright and Bardon were engaged in the saloon business, and Douglas, Arizona, when Federal off, cers stopped an automobile loaded with cases of whiskey bound from Rodeo to the Arizona town. It is alleged that Wright was piloting the booze car through to- Douglas and when the bootleggers were stopped by the officers they implicated MT. Wright in the transaction and as a result he was charged with conspira- cy and also with bribing an officer.
 Friends of Wright in this section state that he was the victim of boot. leggers who shifted the charge against him by duplicating Wright According to the story Wright sold the liquor to the bootleggers on credit and was not party to it's introduction into Arizona.
