TRYING TO GET TOREZ
 RETRIEVED AND PAROLED

Some minister in the southern part of the state has applied at the state capitol for a reprieve for Simplicio Torez, the Mexican murderer of Vic E.. Melick, town marshal of Williams, said reprieve to be followed by pa role.
 It is probable that the plea is made on the old familiar grounds of in sanity, the same excuse with which an attempt was made to influence the jury during the trial in the superior court of this county.
 County Attorney F. M. Gold will, of course, fight the effort for reprieve. and in view of the fact that the mur- derer has been bad man for years, according to the testimony of numer- ous witnesses, including his own moth- CT, there is very little danger of Torez escaping the hanging next month. Torez' attorney has filed notice of appeal, but there is little likelihood, it is Mir. Colds belief, of the appeal being granted.
 The news that a reprieve and pa role had been asked for was brought to this city by Wiley E. Jones, attor- ney general of Arizona, who was here on Saturday attending high cost of living conference.

And he gets away with it, gram matically.
 So many people are amused by sad things, or at least entertained by them. True, isn't it? Like the lady we once knew who lived in Philadel- phia and regularly went to and from two to five funerals every week-she enjoyed them so much.
 All of which is by way of introduc- ton of two new epitaph contributions. There are several in the lot, but all but two are held, for future reference ."This world is prison in every re-
 spect, Whose walls are the heavens in
 common; The jailor is sin, and the prisoners
 men,
 And the letters are nothing but
 women"
 Rather sarcastical, eh? The fol- lowing reveals more welcome philos- ophy:
 Here lies John Ross,
 Kicked by hoss."

MARICOPA COUNTY ATTORNEY TO PROBE
 PRICES OF FOOD

As an outcome of the definite re- suits obtained by County Attorney Kirk T. Moore in his investigation of food prices in Tucson, L. M. Laney, county attorney for Maricopa county, has announced his intention of con ducting similar investigation in Maricopa county.
 The attorney generals office is re- ported as taking a deep interest in the plan of campaign which is being carried out by cooperation with the food administration, and independent investigations may be ordered soon.

An amusing story leaked out the other day. Best of all, it is true.
 Sheriff Jack Harrington had just telephoned from the jail telling the operator at the central office that If any one called up he would be home for dinner. At that moment Attorney Hemperley dropped in, asking for a

of the machine shop end of the busi. ness.
 "Why, no. I haven't noticed any one in particular" Bob replied.
 Raudebaugh hunted around while so the story goes, and as he started to leave gave a kick at the pile under which the Swede was lying.
 What's this stuff? he asked Mitchell.
 "Why, it looks more like sleigh. bells than anything else," the latte, answered, with sarcastic grin.
 Raudebaugh kicked the pile again
 "Yingle, yingle, yingle," said the Swede.
 And then, it is said, Raudebaugh hurried out to look elsewhere for his quarry.-S. L. F.
 Undersheriff Bill Hicklin says he knew a man in Arkansas who sued his father for disinheriting him be- cause the latter refused to loan him his hunting dog.
 Milt Ferrill, of Doney Park, who had quite a lot of grain to harvest, tells about hiring hobo to help get his oats down and up. After telling the fellow he was going to call him early for the onslaught on in the oat field, he showed him where he was to sleep.
 Next morning, about five, he called the man.
 "what do you want?" the fellow asked.
 T want you to get up; we've got to cut the oats."
 "But it's dark yet" the man com plained.
 'I know it is."
 "Are they wild oats you're goin' to .cut?"
 "Why, certainly not"
 "Then what do yer want to sneak up on 'em in the dark fer?"

 "The Dutch kid" as his heap of friends out Garland Prairie way call w. L. Hostetter, says he's getting so his grub tastes good to him again.
 "Oh, boyw he says, "it sure is good to eat again for the mere sake of eat ing. For several months I've been forcing myself to eat just to keep alive"
 aBut haven't you any appetite !" he was asked.
 Appetite? Oh, boy!" he grunted. Didn't I have any appetite? l was so hungry-Oh, boy!! I was hungry all the time"
 "Well, why didn't you eat?"
 Because nothin' tasted good. You know I was gassed over there. l was in a h. of scrap when it hap pened. The bullets were flyin' 'foun' like ugly hornets. Nothin' was hittin' me. though; but, oh, boy! I had a hole in my gas mask an didn't know it.

There's a young business man in town whose father-in-law will never invite him deer hunting again. We are requested not to give any names, because the said young man still feels the same awe of his father-in-law that he did when the latter, who wasn't his father-in-law then, but was soon to be, invited the young man to go deer hunting.
 They lived in Williams at the time. (0ne of them does yet) The young man didn't have any hankering to, get up so early in the morning, but he thought it good policy to do so. At an unearthly hour he drove his car around after the older man, and then, after breakfast, they drove away, ar irving at the scene of slaughter long before sunrise.
 Getting out, they deployed around a big hill, met, and then started to- gether over the top of the hill. The older man told the younger one to let him know if he saw a deer.
 Because" he explained, "you have not had the experience that l have; so you had better leave it to me to do the shooting"
 In few minutes the young man saw big buck, short distance away, grazing. He nudged the old man, who crept to within 50 yards of the buck and. kneeling, took deliberate aim and fired.
 He never touched the animal, which was out of range in a jiffy. The young man nearly lost Dads" con- sent to his daughters hand right there, by laying down on the ground in a spasm of wild laughter.
 Charles Prochnow. proprietor of the Commercial Hotel, didn't ask us to ex- plain it, but we will, in view of the fact that he is a good feller. He is not the man, as some of his friends tried to make him believe they thought, who was mixed up in the bootlegging here. That was Johnny Proctor. Mir. Prochnow says he would not sell any booze, if he had it.
 'In fact" he asserts, q wouldn't even give it away"
 They were looking for Swede last week as an additional witness against Johnny Proctor, the bootlegger. The Swede didn't want to get mixed up in the matter. and looked for place to hide. He slipped into J. W. Fran cis' auto salesroom and burrowed un- der pile of old buriap sacks.
 E. B. Raudebaugh, the new man on Sheriff Harrington's staff, was right behind him when he entered the build- ing, but not quite close enough to see where he hid.
 Have you seen any stray Swedes in here 1ately?" Raudebaugh asked Bob Mitchell, one of the proprietors

J. c. Kilmer, the contractor, backed up to the display of oats in Babbitt's Saturday, and when some one asked him how he was getting along, said, taking hold of the grain: "0h, I'm feeling my oats" Herbert Hilkens grabbed a cleaver and John Nevelle snatched up turnip; but Kilmer got away before they could reach him.

 OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Sept. 16. Federal agents tonight sought to penetrate the mystery surrounding the richest well in Oklahoma, or the entire southwest.
 E Investigators have been unable to learn either it's location or the home of it's owner, though more than $2,000 of production is said to have been sold. Finding no market for his peach crop, so the story goes, a farmer dumped his peaches in an old well, added few raisins and plugged the hole. Now the pump yields a delicious. hard kicking brandy that sells, it is said, for $5 gallon.
 Revenue men-ard others-are now searching for the well.

conference with Sid Baron, the only prisoner the jail held just then. Jack told him he was just going to dinner and to come around later. But Hemperley insisted that he must see Sid right now.
 :All right" Jack said, "but Pm not going to iniss my dinner, and I'll have to lock You in with him if you want to see him now"
 That was satisfactory to Temper ley, so in he went, the door was lock- ed on him, and Jack went home to eat the peaches and cream Mrs. Har- ington had promised him.
 The good dinner over, he stretched out in the easiest chair he could find and read for while.
 eff anything turns up, the operator will call me here," he soliloquized, forgetting all about Hemperley. At about 2:30 p. m. he sauntered back over town, chatted with various friends and then proceeded to the jail, accompanied by Attorney Francis D. Crable.
 Arriving at the jail, Crable and Harrington began looking over some papers the former had brought, when they were startled by a terrific pound ing back in the cell-room.
 Muttering anathema, Jack picked up the keys and started back to find out what Barone wanted. As soon as the door was unlocked, out popped Hemperley.
 Now, Crable and Hemperley don't take any automobile rides together, or pat each other on the back, or any thing like that, since a recent some what warm interview the two had in which it is reported that Crable was pretty severe; and when Hemperley saw. Crnble he didn't say "Howdy," !" or anything, but just kept right on going, while Crable tried his best to control his mirth until the other was out of earshot.
