AUDITORS REPORT MORALES
 CLERK IS SHORT $16,522.26

An apparent deficit of $16,522.26 in the books of former Town Clerk w M. Smith, of Nogales, was indicated by a report of the F. c. Masquellette & Co.,, auditors to the town council last week. The auditors, however carefully point out that while the amount is charged to Mir. Smith as unaccounted for, the method of book keeping in Nogales is severely criti- cised.
 The friends of Mir. Smith, who is absent, declare that he can explain the deficit. As he has personal prop erty many times the amount of the account against him, the town is as- sured of collection of the accounts, it is said.
 The report stated that MT. Smith held the office from June, 1916, to August, 1918, during which the deficit occurred. Through erroneous book keeping, the auditors also reported County Treasurer Burgoon had di- verted $2,470 due the city, for the school districts.

The secretary of the board of direc- tors of state institutions is in receipt of a letter from the superintendent of the state industrial school at Fort Grant, notifying him that the secom- modations for the girl inmaxes are now filled, and that some steps will have to be taken to provide more room if other inmates are taken in. The situation is a particularly embarrass- ing one to the management, it is now stated, in view of the fact that the appropriation for maintenance is also limited.
 The board is now engaged in mak- ing careful scrutiny of the records of the inmates to determine whether release can be justified on any reason able grounds. One instance was dis covered of married woman who is held there, and efforts are now being made to secure her freedom on the grounds that she is being held ille- gally, even though minor.

FAMOUS STATE MULE
 CASE NOW BOBS UP

Attorney Will F. Ryan, who has been representing Governor Campbell in the adjutant general controversy has been named as a special counsel to assist the attorney generals office in defending the state in the case brought by the Aubrey Investment O., of Phoenix. Ryan left for Pres colt Saturday for the purpose of fil- ing an amended answer, which it is believed will materially strengthen the states case in the famous Tony Johns mules controversy.
 In the original answer as prepared by the attorney generals office the de- fense set up was that the contract on which the Aubrey concern is trying to force collection is not valid as the mules and other equipment sold was not as represented.
 In the amended complaint which Ryan will file, he takes the stand that there was no valid contract in the first place. Ryan claims that the paper pulporting to be contract was not in accordance with law, in that it was not based on competitive bids. He calls attention to the call for bids which ran as follows:
 "Such mules and horses shall be good, reliable, young, active, and serv- iceable animals of proper weight"
 Nothing was said, he declares, con- corning the number of animals, their age or other qualifications not given above.
 Some time after this notice appear ed the Aubrey Investment Co. mailed an agreement to sell certain horses, mules and other equipment to the state, and the outfit was approved as "a good buy for the state" by rep resentative of the state engineers of- flee. There is nothing to show, says Ryan, that there were other bidders or that proper opportunity was afford ed for receiving competitive bids, in that the specifications were entirely too vague. Hence the attack on the validity of the so-called contract, which Tony Johns, as secretary of the company put over with the commits sion of state institutions.

THIS LETTER, IN GOING
 2 BLOCKS, HAS OUTLASTED
 FIFTEEN P. M. GENERALS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 16.-- Score one for the efficiency of the post-office department under the ad- ministration of Albert Sidney Burle- son.
 Away back in 1882 when Timothy O. Howe, of Wisconsin, was postmas- ter general in the cabinet of President Chester A. Arthur letter was mailed from the Ebbitt House here to Colonel Chas. E. Sherman, a guest at the Met ropolitan Hotel, seven blocks away.
 The letter bore the admonition: Postmaster will please return. to the above address if not called for in ten days" But the letter mailed on April 27, 1882, apparently was not called for in ten days or even in more than the thirty-seven years, for it was returned to the Ebbitt House today.
 And it was returned in the admin istration of Albert Sidney Rurleson. While the letter was going the seven blocks and returning there have been sixteen postmaster generals-T Timothy O. Howe of Wisconsin, Walter O.. Gresham of Indiana, Frank Hatton of Iowa, William F. Villas of Wisconsin, Don M. Dickinson of Michigan, John Wanamaker of Pennsylvania, Wilson s.

BODY OF MURDERED
 MAN IS FOUND IN CAVE

GLOBE, Ariz., Sept. 16.--The body of Juan Leandro was found in an abandoned cave on the hillside west of the Maurel Swimming pool Monday afternoon. A bullet hole in the left temple gave evidence of how the un- fortunate man met his death. The authorities advance the theory that Lleandro was enticed to the lonely spot and murdered, with robbery as the motive. The pockets of the dead mans clothing were rified of their contents, but a gold watch was left in the pants pocket. The officers believe the murderer left the watch in order to avoid being traced.
