' IN THE OPEN

The combination picnic, horseback ride and allaround good time given by Melvin and Walter Carr last week young people that enjoyed the trip. Assembly was called to start the ex- petition at 7:30 in front of Coteys residence Saturday evening.
 The following names were answered at the oil call: Wilma Harrison, Janey Foote, Winnie Johnson, Margaret Co- tey, Tiny Cotey, Katie Mills, Clara Armstrong, Agnes Clark, Cecelia End Ter, Nettie Nardelli, Raydah Meader, Yorke Terrell, Billie Smith, Jim Hav- erocker, Wayland Bills, Melvin Carr, Jack Belcher, Oliver Cotey, Gordon Burres, Walter Carr, James Campbell, Clarence Miller, Dick Hall. \Chap- erones, Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Nickols,, Mrs. Cotey and Mrs Carr. The cayuses were not slighted in the rollcall as is generally the case-nay not so-they answered in all good nature - gray, bay, bronc, sorrel bronc, blue bronc, with a couple of more broncs-ask a few of the party the best way to spell bronc In the air or upside down? The girls seem to show certain tenseness in their attitudes when the signal was given to up anchor" and ''get under way," I think they were afraid their animals pet name began with a B.
 The nine miles to the Carr ranch inly hn f,,y, began. Taking possession of the front room and craving possession of the kitchen, they talked the musician into t,playing such mournful airs as the Mississippi Blues and other dirges. The Deming jazz band would have had to go some to compete with that var nished fiddler. Cracks were noticed the next morning on one of the hills close by, where some passing cowboy had tried the foxtrot with variations.)
 Close on to eight bells (12 o'clock {, the cry of ''chow, come and get it. was heard. Every one rose and shone" on the occas.on. The one ex- ception was Dick Hall, who seemed 1 to be able to consume more while dancing, so, or course, the crOWQ was entertained while they ate.
 1 It was only two hours before old Sol'' warmed the eastern horizon, when the bugler blew taps" The girls captured the house at the first sound of the hugle. A few of the boys foraged the ranch for blankets; the rest slept on the roof; some in the chicken house, and some took to the hills"
 After breakfast the bunch turned to- and witnessed an exhibition of whether bronc is spelled in the sad dle or elsewhere. Time flew fast until lunch hour, then a mystery had to be solved (who stole the pie). Elimina- tion then began. It finally narrowed down to two couples, who were con- victed and sentenced to eat without tasting.
 It was a happy, tired and somewhat
 -- bunch that hove to" and dropped anchor in Hills Addition around four bells Sunday afternoon.
 The opinion of the gang tends to be fully centered on more of the same.

DYNAM|TER WRITES THREATEN|NGNOTE
 ID DOCTOR

PHOENIX, June 4-In Jail following his confession to Dr. F. H. Redewill that he had placed an internal ma chine near the Desert Inn, owned by Dr. Redewill, for the purpose of de stroying himself and governess, Miss Anna Hornberger, employed to in struct the doctors children, who had spurned his advances while he was employed as laborer at Desert Inn, Arthur B. Clay has written a threaten ing letter to Dr. Redewill, stating in yelled terms that unless the doctor relieved the pressure on him that he would make disclosures that would in- iure the doctor and his business.
 Sheriff Montgomery yestedray, with the consent of Dr. Redewill, made pub lie the writing of this letter. It was intercepted by the jailer, Oscar Price, and is as follows:
 County Jail, May 1, 1919. MT. F. H. Redewill, City.
 Dear Sir: Can you not see that you have made a mistake, in causing my arrest? All that I ask is a square deal When I left your office Monday D. Ill. you promised me that you would say nothing concerning certain things, but you did not keep faith with me. Now if you do not want to relieve pressure on me, the public will know all that I know, which will involve certain par ties which I do not wish to connect with this case. It will be your own undoing and disgrace your children's future happiness. At present I have said nothing. Now, doctor, think this matter over and if possible come and see me before Friday night.
 | A word to the wise is sufficient. l ARTHUR B. CLAY. l P. s. Tell Anna that I have no ill will toward her and 1 will endeavor not to speak evil of her in any way
 A. B. c.
 Commenting on the matter yester- day, Dr. Redewill in answer to a question, said he had no desire to talk to the man, as requested in the com munication. There is nothing to it, . said he. T am not going to be black mailed by this dynamiter He nor anyone else has anything on me or mine that we are not perfectly willing to have the public know. Let him go to it.
 After the arrest of Clay, following his confession of placing the internal machine, he was bound over to the Superior court. He afterwards made a complete confession in the office of County Attorney Laney, telling in de- tail\ how he had constructed the in fernal machine of 19 sticks of dyna- mite, 22 caps and lot of nails. bolts, rocks and miscellaneous junk. I The sheriff has received numerous telegrams from Clay's father, Jas. M. Clay, at Long Prairie, Minn., asking if his son was released and could come home, to which he has replied that the young man had been bound over to the Superior court and would be tried some time this month
 Another bit of evidence was un- learthed. recently at the Desert Inn by the sister of the girl Clay intended to blow up, Margaret Hornberger. Down in the middle of her writing pad where she would not ordinarily dis cover it for two weeks or so, until the paper was used up, was written in Clay's handwriting the. following brief and dramatic message,
 Dear Margaret: When you read this, you will cry. Tuesdays sun will mot rise on your sister or me.
