News that the Buckskin mountains are full of game and an ideal summer camping place, and that several bands of Indian outlaws and renegades have their retreats in these mountains northwest of the Grand Canyon in "the Strip" has been brought here oy Joseph Smith and c. $. Stump, who are down from Grand Wash and Hur- ricane Ledge for supplies.
 Smith and Stump have been eX- ploring the strip for some time and say it is one of the richest parts of the state in mineral resources. One little mountain of lead in the strip, they say, would alone have paid the price Utah recently offered Arizona for the northwestern strip of the state.
 Several Phoenix people have bought land in the strip. A small cottage hotel has been built on holdings at Hurricane Ledge, where huntsmen and sportsmen will be taken care of.

EXTRA WEAR
 FROM SHOES

"A year ago 1 had my shoes re- soled with Neolin Soles. The soles are still in service, and 1t looks as if would not be able to wear them out. because the uppers are going first" said w. C. Dickinson, of New Haven, Conn.
 Good repair shops everywhere carry these tough and durable soles. See for yourself how long they last by having them put on a pair of old shoes. Or if you are in need of new shoes, buy them with Neolin Soles. They cost no more than shoes that give less wear, and you need fewer pairs. They come in many styles for men, women, and children.
 Neolin Soles are created by Science to be comfortable and waterproof, as well as long-wearing. They are made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.,, Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels-guaranteed to outwear all other heels.

ONLY 6FREED IN
3 WEEKS COURT
Stump Liquor Connected
With Nearly Every Of
fense, Judge Shows

The November term of the Sum-
ter Superior court came to an end.
so far as the trial of cases is con-
cerned Thursday evening when Judge
LlttleJohn dismissed the jurors and
told them he would require their SER
wees no more. When the last case
for that day had been finished, the
criminal docket, one of the heaviest
in many years, had been entirely
cleared with the exception of the
cases of Wise Parker and A. ]. Will
l1ams, two white men charged with
mlsdemeanors, and who are under
bond, and that of one negro, Chas.
Harris, charged with assault with in
tent to murder, whose attorney gave
notice of his intention to enter a plea
at the next term of court.
This week was the eleventh straight
week of court for Judge Littleiohn,
Solicitor FELTON, and Court Reporter
Mebane, who spent seven weeks
around the circuit just before opening
here four weeks ago. The last three
weeks had been devoted to criminal
business.
Judge Littlejohn today declared the
term just completed to have been the
heaviest presided over by him for
many years.
1 will say that there were fewer
burglary and arson cases in propor-
tion to the total number than | re-
member ever to have tried" he said.
The making of stump liquor by ne
groes, it developed, was closely con-
nected with almost every case tried.
All of the murders and practically all
of the other cases showeds liquor
somewhere in them. This liquor max
ing has become a serious menace. 1t
was brought out on the stand by sew
eral witnesses at various times that
the negroes were getting 81 per quart
for the stuff they were making.
i have found it problem to deal
with these offenders, for fine have
not seemed to do any good. SO this
time Jail sentences of a few months
were tried and hope The results will
be good. The time was fortunate for
adopting this course, as these prison
ers will be able to serve their sem
tences of three or four months each
and then pay their fines in time to
get off for spring work On the farms"
The results of this term, of
course, are regarded. by officials and
others as little short of amazing. Out
of some so or 60 criminal cases only
six acquittals were returned, fact
for which the diligence and applica-
ton of Sheriff Harvey and his staff,
and Solicitor FELTON, came in for COM
mendation.
The last two cases of the term
tried yesterday resulted in acquittals.
Ola Baity, accused of stealing from
the home of E. E. Roach, and Gus
Shealey, accused of theft from an.
other negro's house, were both acquit-
ted by juries.

IF WILSON RUNS
GERARD WON'T
Former Ambassador No
Rival of President
He Says

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-James w.
Gerard, former United States ambas-
sador to Germany, who this week
signed a minority nominating petition
as an independent democratic candi-
date for the presidential nomination
in the South Dakota state primaries
in March, made it clear in an inter-
view at the Ritz-Carlton hotel that
he would not remain in the race for
the presidency if Woodrow Wilson
should decide to seek reelection.
Unless President Wilson, whose
name is also entered in the South
Dakota primaries, withdraws, Mr..
Gerard will do 50, he said today.
Statements made by Mr.. Gerard ir
the course of the interview empha-
sized the fact thai lot only will there
be no break or even rivalry between
the president and tn former am5as-
sador, but that Woodrow Wilson, de-
spite various statements to the eff
feet, is by no means out of the 1920
race yet.
Amplifying meagre quotations in
dispatches from Pierre, S. D., from
his statement of principles filed with
his petition, Mr.. Gerard indicated
that he favored the original League
of Nations covenant and peace treaty
without reservations and that he
was also in accord with the president
in the conviction that the League of
Nations headquarters should be es-
tablished in Geneva.
