CONNECTS AND RUNAWAY
 GIRLS ARE CAUGHT

| Douglas. Ariz., Dec 2S-After successfully evading pursuit of posses Of four counties for more than four days, the two escaped convicts from the state penitentiary : at Florence, Arizona were taken in to custody here last night by the military authorities while in the act Of attempting to cross the il- ternational line into Mexico in an automobile, and have been lodged in the city jail, together with an other man and two women.
 According to the officials one of the women in the automobile fired point blank at a border guard when he commanded them to halt, but the party was finally overpowered by the cavalryman who single handed lined up his prisoners to await the coming of assistance.
 The captured men are: J. c. Wunder, alias Frank Warden, and Emmett McDaniels, escaped con victs, and Pat McDaniels, a brother ; of the last named. The women in the party are Laura Foreman, aged IT, of Florence and Grace Barnes of Scotsdale, Arizona.
 The automobile in which the con- victs were travelling was stocked with enough canned goods, etc., to provision the party for at least two weeks.
 The women of the party do not appear to take the matter seriously, and according to one of the off cials, the kidnapping scare is abso- lutely without foundation because upon the arrival of officers to the scene to take the party into custody and handcuff them, the alleged kid mapped girl made the remark If you place the cuffs on that man you will have to do likewise with me-"
 Officers have left for Douglas to take charge of the two escaped convicts who were captured while attempting to cross the border in- to Mexico. It is denied that the two men were honor men" but they were trusties. The men will be dealt with by Warden Sims, ac- cording to the officers.
 The convicts will be taken back to the penitentiary at Florence.

NEW TRIAL GUARANTEED
 THE STEPHENS CASE

Bud Stephens, convicted of the mul der of Albert J. Miller, whom he shot to death in a Prescott clothing store last December, has been granted a trial by the supreme court. Three of the seven assignments of error made by Stephens attorneys were up
 cid by the higher tribunal. The re- versal was based on three proposi- tiOns: First, that the selection of one of the jurors who had stated that he had a fixed opinion regarding e guilt of young Stephens was inimical to the interests of the defense; sec ond, that the court had erred in it's in- structions to the jury regarding the mental condition of the defendant at the time of the killing; third, that the instructions of the court defining the crime of second degree murder has been prejudicial to the defendant inasmuch as the instructions had tend ed to lead the jury to believe that it could return only one of two yer diets, either first degree murder or acquital.

HAD TOO MANY WIVES

An indeterminate sentence of from six to ten years in the penitentiary was passed by Judge O. J. Baughn of Pinal county, upon John Pier Quaid, former leader in Jerome musical cir
 cles, after Quaid had pleaded guilty to charge of bigamy. Quaid eloped from Phoenix with Miss Bessie Thom as, stenographer, and they were married in Florence by Judge Baughn From Florence, Quaid and his bride
 went to Miami. While they were there Quaid's real wife, whom he mar ried while living in Jerome, charged him with desertion and failure to support her and her child. The truth about Quaid's escapade came out and within less than two weeks he was an inmate of the penitentiary.

CIVIL sERVIcE IS AL
 MOST DOUBLED BY WAR

War conditions naturally rendered necessary a large increase in the
 number of persons employed by the government in civilian capacities,
 but until the appearance of a recent statement by the Civil Service Com mission, few people have had an idea of the extent of the increase. Be- fore the war the government employ ed approximately 500,000 persons in
 the various civilian branches. After
 the country's entrance into the war the number of civilian employees grew by leaps and bounds until, it
 included almost a million persons of both sexes. In the course of the nineteen months of our participation 1 in the world conflict, the commission . in recruiting the civil service to meet
 war needs examined nearly a million
 persons, of whom more than 100000
 were appointed to positions. In the
 District of Columbia alone the force of civilian employees grew from
 about 35,000 to approximately 95,- 900, while in the navy yards and or dnance plants it was about quintup- led. In mobilizing these workers the commission found it necessary to ad- vertise extensively, not only through
 announcements by local civil service
 examiners and postmasters but also
 by means of posters, lantern slides in moving picture theatres, cards in
 trolly cars, bulletin boards in librar-
 ies, bills and letter heads of business
 houses, and printed notices in 5000 newspapers and 200 periodicals. For all this advertising, worth millions
 of dollars, the only cost to the gov
 ernment was for the printing of
 posters and circulars and the making
 of lantern slides. Of course, the
 great aubmentation of civil service
 workers noted does not represent
 permanent accreation, it being ex- pected that from now on the civilian
 personnel will be gradually reduced.

When Maricopa county officers broke into trunk consigned from Los Angeles to a Miamian named Jones, they found it filled with rub, Der hot water bottles. Each bottle was filled with good corn whiskey instead of water. It is now suspected that rubber goods have been utilized for shipping a great deal of liquor into Arizona. Rubber will not break or rattle and is therefore much superior to glass.
