BURNING PLACE DIS
 COVERED BY JEROMITES

JEROME, Nov. 6. - An ancient burial ground of the cliff dwellers who populated this land before the white man came was discovered the other day by Harry Ackley and Joe Johnson. They stumbled upon the prehistoric cemetery while hunting on the top of Mooney mouuttin.
 Hundreds and hundreds of stones mark the heads and feet of the graves according to Nckley Apparently the ancients buried their dead i'll such a way that each four graves form a sort of cross.
 Johnson and Ackley plan some day to return to the spot with picks and Shovels and do d little excavating. Undoubtedly they will discover relics of great interest and perhaps of sci entific value.
 No big game fell to the guns of Ackley and Johnson but they shot plenty of quail and ducks. Both reached Jerome last night and today Ackley drove Johnson out to the lat ter'S farm

COAL SAVING
 MACHINERY ALL SET
(From Sundays Daily)

(From Sundays Dally)
 Machinery for conserving the coa supply during the strike has been fully set up and is in operation, ac- cording to advices received from Federal Manager w. B. Storey oi the A. T. & 5. F. Lines by w. A. Drake, general manager of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix.
 Mir. Storey's telegram is as follows
 "The machinery set up by the rail road administration to distribute the coal, held in trains by the railroads in accordance with the directions of the fuel administration IS ill full opera ton, and as a result wherever possi- ble, coal is being distributed in ac- cordance with the priority list estab- lished by the fuel administration where such coal is absolutely needed.
 Therefore where there is real need for coal, the problem should be taken up immediately with the railroad or dinarily supplying the coal and every effort will be made by such railroad to meet the demand. It is of course essential both because of the present bituminous coal strike in order that the needs for the coming winter may be looked after, that fuel be used as economically as possible. It should also be remembered that the railroads did not interfere with the delivery of coal To conserve coal as much as possible, regional directors of rail roads, have been given authority wherever it seems absolutely neces- sary to eliminate for the time being train service, but in order to provide for the essential business needs of the country, no general curtailment of train service, contemplated.
 The maintenance of the public transportation service is of para mount importance. in order to serve the countless needs of the general public and the interruption of that service should be minimized as far as possible"

REFUGEES FROM

Passing through the city on Friday night for Apache county were Mrs. Norman L. Lanning and daughter Miss Hazel Lanning, formerly of this city, and they are en route to the cattle ranch of relative, coming from Sonora, Mexico. Mir Lansing is at Nogales, and joins his family later. They said:
 We escaped tp the boundary line after paying big sum of money, and it is fortunate that we are alive. The better class of Mexicans assisted us materially, but the Yaqui Indian anc the lower element of the Mexican race made 1t hard for us to get across to our point, and we were necessarily narrassed and held up. MT. Lanning went out four days ahead of us by another route and made a quick jump to the line with a Mexican youth as d guide The trouble with the ooun- try is this: The slightest friction anywhere along the line of the Rio Grande is maliciously exaggerated by the time it gets into the interior, and we innocent Americans are made to suffer It is all propaganda of the worst kind and peddled out by the enemies of our country, no matter what may result.

PRIZE MISTAKE BY GEORGE
 BUCHANAN
(From Sundays palIy)

You're helluva guy to try to sell whiskey to-"
 And Sheriff Warren c. Davis, chief peace officer of Yavapai county, ad- mitted that he was.
 The only possible excuse for the bewildering action of George Buch- anan, keeper of a place popularly and justly termed an eating joint" at Congress Junction, lay in the fact that George had been partaking of his stock in trade prior to the arrival for a meal Thursday evening of Sheriff Davis and Grant Carter The vendor, after he had wakened to the dire result of his failure to "caveat," cussed himself vigorously for being the ne plus ultra of boob Which is going some for a small town like Congress Junction, even.
 Davis and Carter were bound on a mission to the Wickenburg region on matters relating to sheep. Arriving at the junction in the sheriff's car, they concluded to strike the highest place for meal, prior to continuing their journey. They struck George.
 You can't get much of meal heie," George apologized. My wife is at the fair"
 We will eat anything, don't wor- y" tfe travellers assured him.
 George cooked up a mess of vittles and set them before the wayfarers. He knew there was something lack ing in the meal, either in the quality of the food or the workmanship of the cook. He seemed unable to get out of his mind the notion that he wasn't treating his guests exactly right They had something coming to them that no culinary efforts of his could supply, he thought So, it was possibly with some notion of making up to Davis and Carter for the scantiness or other lacks in the dinner, that he leaned over the sher- ifs shoulder, as the sheriff's jaws were working over the food, and in quired in a conspiratorial whisper:
 Would you like a little nip?"
 ''We-e-ell, I don't exactly care for some now, but l WOULD like to get bottle"
 Gan do" briefly asserverated the host.
 Whereupon, George committed the prize tactical error. He departed and returned, and when he returned, he decorated the board with the liquid that has been notorious for the decor ating of boards for aye these many years. It was contained in a nice clean pint bottle, with a bond seal over the cork and the memory laden words, Sunny Brook" printed on the label. The sheriff accepted the bottle and asked the price. Eight dollars.
 He paid the eight dollars. Then
 "Er-Have you any more?" the limb of the law inquired tentatively.
 Sure" expansively-"Lots of it"
 Then" judicially decided the sher- iff You are just the man 1 want"
 Released On Bail
 And that is how 1t came about that the following little news item" was prepared:
 George Buchanan. proprietor of small restaurant at Congress Junction was arrested Thursday night by Sher- if Davis on a charge of bootlegging. Taken before the justice of the peace at Congress Junction. Buchanan supplied S250 cash bail whereupon he was released.

PHOENIX CRIME
 OF INTEREST LOCALLY
(From Sundays Dailyl

Thomas Wilson, who figures mys- teriously in the killing of his wife at Phoenix a few days ago, is former well known resident of Prescott, and is blacksmith by trade. He made this city and section his home for many years and before he was mar ried. having leased the old Hartin shops on West Gurley street at the corner of Mccormick street, as well was he employed at different mining camps adjacent He visited Prescott last July, remaining for Frontier Days, when he returned home to Phoenix. About three years ago he left for Florence, where he was em ployed by the state as guard at the penitentiary, where he married ill 1917. Resigning he went to Phoenix to resume his trade.
 The latest development in this tragedy are taken from a Phoenix newspaper, which has the following to say:
 ''I'm sorry it happened. I wouldn't have had it happen for the world. loved her. was crazy about her"
 So said Thomas Wilson yesterday afternoon at the county jail, where he was taken by Chief Brisbois, Thurs day evening following the killing of Mrs. Wilson by a revolver shot at their room.
 Wilson yesterday reiterated the version of the shooting which he gave to representatives of the county at torney's office shortly after his arrest, declaring that his wife had possession of the big revolver which he had Dor rowcd from Charles Wright ten days before. In the struggle, Wilson, re peated yesterday, the weapon was discharged and the bullet passed through her heart, killing her almost instantly.
 New details of their troubled do mestic relations were furnished yes tcrday by Wilson, however. His wife was terribly jealous of him, he said. Yes, guess she had been drinking a little, too, and intoxicated that way, the trouble started. I'd had that gun up hunting with Chas. Wright quite while before, and I laid it down in the room - never thought thing about it."
 Wilson is tall almost six feet, lan- tern jawed, with slightly hollowed cheeks and the upper lips draw tightly over the teeth. Several teeth are gone, and he speaks with slight lisp. His eyes are very black and sunk deep in his head.
 "I was drunk. Drunk as I could be-" he said. And about that mus tache, I burned it the day before. The barber can tell you that.
 About this cap, too Wilson fin ished. They say I put OH this cap to disguise myself. Why, I always wore a cap half the time" No arrangements or the funeral of Mrs. Wilson have yet been made, and no formal charge of murder has yet been placed against her husband by the county attorneys office. Wilson was taken to the undertaking parlors yesterday afternoon to view the body of his wife. He broke down com pletely, but added nothing to the statement he has made

Picturesque and Excellent

: the rbrthward in the captured whaler
until picked up by q liner bound for
Marseilles
Now this may seem all conventional
enough; but it isn't as presented. Cleo's
adventures on the island watching the
penguins and the life of the great sea-
elephants are of absorbing and novel in
terest. Kerguelen has been famous as the
resort of these sea monsters SINCE the
Sieur de Kerguelen discovered the group
of islands in 1772, and one Of his officers
went ashore in "Sea-lion Bay" as he
named it But Stacpoole pictured the life
of the animals so vividly1 witness the
fights between the bulls for possession Of
the females, that to all except naturalis.s
familiar with sea-elephants these chap
ters will be novel experience indeed.
And yet more unusual is the authors
treatment of the careers of Cleo de Brom-
sart and Raft, the sailor who rescued her,
after they reach her native land. Raft is
plainly misft ashore There is no place
for him in such hotel as Nile. de Brom-
sart lives in while she is being greeted by
her relatives and guardian. The hotel
servants would not eat with such man,
would not serve him. He is, of course. of
a world apart from Mile. de Bromsares
ordinary life So she solves his problem
in this wise: She buys yacht, lives aft
in such comfort as she has been used to,
while Raft lives forward as a hand where
he is in his familiar world, and yet these
two friends are together. .--
Madame de Brie, her nearest relation,
writing to a friend, says of her niece's
life: "Cleo must always have been as mad
as her aunt De Warens. Fishermen, it
seems, are the only honest people, and she
and her cargo of fishermen, with an old
man named Bontemps Their captain) are
now heaven knows where.since-I met them
at Portofno She calls them her children
and when J last saw her she was coming
along the little quay at Postofino helping
that big red-bearded man (Raft) to carry
provisions. The times are revolutionary,
that's the truth, and women are not what
they were, and I am old, l suppose, and
cannot see things as ought to see them
and the grief is that she might have mar
ried any one, she might have married
royalty itself, and I told her so and she
laughed in my face. A strange life, and
yet she seems happy" W. B. McC.
THE BEACH OF DREAMS. BY H. De
WE'RE STACPDoLE. John Lane Company.
The sun., 1919-11-02

DACk of the banal title and cover
- illustration Of Ell. DeVere Stae-
poole's new novel, The Beach Of Dreams,
is a rare literary adventure. 1t lies
in the fact that Mr.. Stacpoole has
written another Robinson CruSoe episode
which is absolutely novel and he has also
created an ending for it of which we know
no equal in fiction of this order except the
great originals. And this only because,
like Defoe's immortal story, it deals with
something more profound than mere ad-
venture. In this case it is the social fabric
of modern life.
Through collision in the remote South
Pacific between the French yacht CASTOR
de Paris and the British ship Albatross,
In which both vessels are sunk, Cleo de
Bromsart, girl of 20 and rich, is thrown
as castaway on desolate Kerguelen Land
with two of the French yachts hands,
Their boat is well provisioned, they find
caves to live in, supply of wood and a
cache left by some Antarctic explorer in
which there is found clothing and food in
profusion.
Thus we have variant from the Gus
tomary Robinson Crusoe difficulties over
food and clothing. But Mile. de Brom-
sart had other troubles of a more tragic
nature. Used to being provided for, the
two Frenchmen had to be commanded, and
this aroused srllen fighting spirit in one
of them that Mile. Bromsart had to try to
subdue. The better of the men was s~al-
lowed up in a quicksand and when the
ugly one tried to invade her cave at night
she stabbed and killed him, fleeing from
the cave and living in another near by
Then the devil of loneliness got the
upper hand of her gallant spirit; she be-
came indifferent about eating, and pres
ently-starvation through physical indiffer-
ence and weakness had brought her al
most to the end, when a rescder appeared.
He was foremast hand from the Alba
tross whose acquaintance the reader had
made in the opening chapter of the story
"a typical A. B. of the merchant marine,
a fine seaman, but utterly unfamiliar with
the ways of the land world or of gentle
folk. Yet he nursed Mile de Bromsart
back to life, led her across the dasolate
island to bay frequented by whalers,
killed the captain of a Chinese whaling
ship in the harbor and also some of the
crew with the heroine's aid (she had had
her taste of blood-lettingD and sailed to
