TWO ARRESTED ON
 CHARGE OF KEELING VAULT

TUCSON, Sept. 3O.-Manuel Con zales, porter and watchman in the White House store, and John Doras, a native of Porto Rico, were arrested at Nogales, Sonora, yesterday charg- ed with the theft of S400 from the safe of the White House store, early yesterday morning.
 The arrest was the result of tele- phone order from Sheriff Miles, sent out when it was reported that the safe was found open yesterday morn ing and the porter was missing. Three hundred dollars was reported to have been recovered from Gonzales.
 Reports from Nogales indicate that Chief of Police J. Lowe got on the trail of the men shortly after they ar rived and trailed them across the line. He notified Chief of Police Iii burcio Ruiz of Nogales, Sonora, who sent his men out and rounded up Con- gales and Doras. Sheriff Raymon Earhart sent his deputies to the line and received the men from the Mex ican police.

NEED COTTON PACKERS;
 CROP IS ENDANGERED.

YUMA, Sept. 30.-That the cotton picking situation in the Yuma valley is far more serious problem than
 is generally conceded is the opinion of MT. J. w. Longstreth, agricultural agent for Yuma county. At the pres ent time, according to MT. Long streth, the Yuma valley could absorb
 200 pickers and use the same until the end of the season. These neces- sary pickers have not as yet material ized, notwithstanding the efforts made by agents in other fields to supply the farmers wants. However, last week, a belated attempt to avert a shortage, was made by the formation of what is termed the Yuma Valley Cotton Growers Association, a part nership formed for the purpose of i'm porting Mexican labor to the Yuma valley: This association has Fl the few days of its existence made ar engagements with the United States government for the importation of Mexican labor, and are making ar engagements with trayeling passenger and freight agent, Bancroft, of the
 Southern Pacific railroad for iheI!
 transportation to the Yuma valley. It is also expected Dy some that a few pickers will drift from the west.

KING coTToNs STATUTE
 WILL SOON BE DONE

YUMA, Sept. 30.-An attractive feature of the decorations in Somer- ton during the coming fair will be a colossal statue of King Cotton" which will be erected on the street near the fair grounds. This statue will be a replica of Uncle Sam wear ing crown of cotton, and his raj ment will likewise be emblamativc of one of the principal resources of this section. It will be eighteen feet high and duly proportioned, with regard to build. The head and shoulders ara already finished and work on the rest of the statue is advancing rapidly. F. J. Adams, our local artist, is the sculptor. This statue shows high class work so far, work of a kind that even old Michael Angelo, the famous sculptor were he alive, would not be ashamed to father.

ONE DEAD, ONE INJURED;
 RESULT OF ROCK FIGHT.

GLOBE, Sept. 30-Sabino Vidal, one of the Mexicans injured during the rock fight in South Globe last Mon day, died at the county hospital at 9:30 o'clock last night VidaPs head was badly crushed by stones during the fight and he was practically un- conscious from the time of the fight until he passed away last night.
 Jose Diaz, who was also injured in the fight, is in a precarious condi- ton and he is not expected to sur yive the night.
 Mike Valenzuela and Amador Vidal are confined in the county jail charged with participating in the rock fight The lads are under 21 years of age and their case will prob court. A charge of murder will prob ably be filed against one of the boys Monday morning, and in the event of the death of Diaz both lads will be charged with murder.
 The quarrel is the outgrowth of a feud that has been carried on in South Globe for several months ard is said to have started over the own ership of a strip of land located op- posite the A. E. Roundhouse. The case has been aired in the justice court on several occasions, but the principals settled their grievances be- fore the case came to trial.
 Monday evening Jose Diaz was re- turning from work and when he passed the Vidal house, it is alleged that Sonora Vidal and Sabino Vidal abused him and an argument ensued. During the argument Diaz was stoned, it is said, by Amador Vidal and his father, Sabino Vidal Tomia Valen- zuela, young Mexican girl, entered the argument and someone struck her on the head with a stone, the rock battle became general and the MeXicans of the vicinity joined in the melee. Mike Valenzuela stated at the time of his arrest, that Sabino Vidal struck at his mother and he became enraged and hit Vidal with a stone. Young Valenzuela admitted at the time of his arrest that he struck Vidal with a rock, but it is not known whether Vidal's death re- suited from the blow delivered by Valenzuela or from wounds inflicted earlier in the fight

THE TOWN GOSSIP
THE PRINTER MAN
By F. E. M.

The printer man stands by his fonts
 Throughout the livelong night, And sets, with nimble mind and hands, The verses that I write. He whistles as his fingers fly,
 He's cheerful, aye, and gay, I sometimes think, while watching him, That all'hi task is play. He's never grouchy, never sad,
 He always wears a smile, Although he's worldly wise, I know,
 And rather full of guile. We work together through the night,
 In everything we do, And so l think that he and I

OUTSIDERS NOT ADMITTED.

' New York Sun.
 But he (Judge Gary) declines to treat concerning the affairs of his business with these organizers of in- dustrial revolution. these trained rep resentatives of supergovernment now trying to subject to it's eXtrane- ous authority the interests and move ments of great majority of his em- ployes. He has no olive branch for the outsiders who demand in the name of federated labor the abolition fthe existing unions in the Steel Corporations vast system and the transfer of industrial allegiance to an organization represented in this case by at least one avowed prophet of syndicalism and confiscation. And this is fair statement, as The Sun understands if, of the olive branch issue.

FOLLOWING RussIA's LEAD

New York Tribune.
 The steel strike shows again the temper of Bolshevist labor leaders like Fitzpatrick and Plumb. They still regard Lenine as the master economist and Russia as the Land of Promise. The theories behind their crusade are prevalent in all countries thrown off their balance by the war.
