Ortura Murillo, a Mexican, was ar rested at II o'clock Monday night upon the request of members of his brother in-law's family. Murillo was wildly drunk and was causing trouble and threatening some of his llinspeople. After a night in jail, the young man, who has always borne a splendid repu- tation for sobriety and honesty here. was sobered up but Officer Pickens says he was about the sickest Mexican he had seen for many a day. Murillo states that he had been drinking de- natured alcohol, and told how the Mex jeans. the younger portion particularly. with the idea that they were destroying the poison in the wood alcohol, had been setting fire to the liquid, and after it had burned a short while, eXtinguish- ing the flame and drinking the stuff He told of four gallon purchase at one time and that the alcohol had been procured upon the statement by the purchaser that it was for use in lamps.

MESA-TEMPE ROAD WORK |S HELD UP
 AWAIT FEDERAL AID

MESA, June 1S.-Work on the Mesa Tempe highway is held up for an in- definite time because of a hitch in the arrangements for the federal aid ap- propriation. Upon hearing the rumor yesterday, State Engineer Maddock was called over the telephone and con- firmed the statement. He said that after the Tempe Phoenix road had been completed, the highway department in order to give the worzmen employment and prevent any delay, started them on the work from the bridge to Main street in Tempe, hoping that the appropriation from the government would be ready in time for the continuance of the work; that the state engineers office had done all possible to push the mat fer forward, but that it has been found impossible to continue the paving on into Mesa without this delay over which his office has no control. The rumor was to the effect that this delay would be for a period of three months. When asked as to this, Mir. Maddock turned to Federal Aid Agent Wheeler. who hap pened to be in the office at the time, and received the assurance from MT. Wheeler that no such statement as to such prolonged stopping of the work mad been made by him. Asked further if any definite time could be set for beginning the work, MT. Maddock re- piled that he could not answer posi- lively but that no time further than absolutely necessary would be lost
 Mir. Wheeler is here for the purpose of expediting the road building in this country by aiding wherever possible in the exact compliance with the govern ments requirements so that no delays may be caused by any irregularities.

MANY TEMPE PEOPLE
 EXPECT TO JOIN THE
 MUSICAL EVENT CLUB

TEMPE, June 1S-The Musical Events club, which has been organ ized in the Salt River Valley is planning to have five musical numbers with artist performers to appear in Phoe- nix the coming winter. In order to make this plan possible, a large mem bership must be obtained from all parts of the valley and in this Tempe will have a large representation. This will be an exceptional opportunity for all who can possibly take advantage of it as the very best of talent will be engaged for this program.
 The admission to this club is a fee of S5, and in addition to this sum, by paying for the reserved seat and the var tax, a member will be entitled to attend all of the events. Those who are planning to leave for the sum- mer should make some arrangements for membership or promise to become a member before leaving on vacation, as the club is quite anxious to make the program complete as early as pos sible. This program cannot be satis- factorily completed until the number of membership is ascertained. Anyone who desires to take out membership or wish information may call Mrs Howard Brown.

Sidewalk Work Will Take Time

David Jones, superintendent of the paving company which has been oper- atfng in Mesa, left last evening with Mrs. Jones and the children for a months rest at Long Beach. Asked as to whether he would return to Mesa, MT. Jones stated that the company would bid on the sidewalks for the town. However. it appears that there is a very great deal of preliminary sIir- veying, map making, grade estimating, etc, that of necessity must be done ac- curately before the contracts can be figured on. This, together with the resolution of intention and other legal details, will take up two or three months, so while it is an assured fact that Mesa will have sidewalks every where some considerable time must elapse before the actual work of laying them can be begun.

SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT *
THE TEMPLE THEATRE SUN
DAY AFTERNOON

The community sing at the Temple
theatre Sunday afternoon attracted
very large crowd and it was in ev
cry way most delightful entertain
ment.
It was given under the direction
of Mr.. Lester Lucas, who in that ca0a-
city is certainly a past master.
The opening number of the pro
gram was prayer offered by Mr.. w.
H. Cassels, principal of the Ocala
high school His prayer breathed the
spirit of exalted patriotism Mr.. ,,as-
sells was followed by the singing Of
America by the audience.
Mrs. H. NJ. Hampton, who is one
of ocala's most beautiful song birds,
was next on the program and rem
dered in her sweetest voice, THAT
Dear Little Boy of Mine"
Mr.. Frank Harris was next intro
duced. He stated that he had been
selected to head the Salvation army
drive which begins May 18th and
continues through May 26th. He said
that of all the workers in the great
world war zone that none had crow n
ed themselves with greater glory
than has the Salvation army girl,
who with her blue bonnet and dough
nuts and unfailing and unfaltering
pluck had won her way into the heart
Of every doughboy in the army. That
this drive has met with the cordial
Ex-President Taft, Cardinal Gibbons,
prominent Jews throughout the coun-
try and leading members of every
religious denomination. That Mr..
Gary has accepted the secretaryshiD
of this drive for Marion county and
will make a canvass of the county
paying tribute to the splendid work
Of this organization. Mr.. Harris said
he hoped that Marion county will
make the same splendid record in this
drive that she had in all of the other
drives. and will place Marion at the
top of the column.
Next on the program was ''That
Salvation Lassie of Mine" sung in
splendid voice by Mr. Lester Lucas,

any other important places of iEtse-
est during the war It was his great
fortune during his stay on the other
side to have picked up many inter
esting relics, which he had at the
Temple Sunday and ne gave a graph
ic history OF each one of these relics
to the audience. They consisted OF
German helmets, bayonets, swords,
pistols, rifles, shells of various sizes,
gas masks German, French and Ami
ericanl, and other things.
Among other places that he visited
was the tomb of Napoleon and whi,e
gazing upon it's splendors was remind
ed of the beautiful apostrophe q
Robert Ingersoll, which he then re-
cited to his audience with telling eff
feet
Mr. Gary's speech was interjected
with many beautiful poetical quota
tions and in all respects it was most
interesting production and may De
styled classic
Mr. Gary during the week visited
Putnam and other counties making
a number of speeches in the interest
of the victory loan drive.

The next number on the program
was the most bewitching and fascir.
ating number Of the entire after
noon. Little Lucie Johnson, of San
ford, formerly Of this city-who is
just four years Of age, sang num-
Der Of very lovely little songs, which
brought forth a perfect storm of ap-
plause from the large audience. This
little girl is wonderfully gifted
child, her talents being perfectly nat
uFal. She has never had any instrIc-
ton but can sing by ear any tuue
she hears. She carries any tune per-
! fectly and is in fact child prodigy
and il is predicted that her future as
a musical genius is already assured.
She is entirely unconscious and un
spoiled and sings as naturally as
most children of that age chatter.
She was recalled time after time BY
the audience and responded prettily
with many encores.
The principal feature Of the after
noon was the speech of Mr.. w. T..
Gary, formerly with the Y. M. C. A,
who has just returned from overseas.
Mr. Gary was scheduled to have made
speech boosting the victory 10 LII
but as our county has already more
than gone over the top with her quota
he gave instead his experiences in
the war zone. He said he would
take his audience on a journey Of
ten thousand miles and he hoped he
would be able to make the flight in
about twenty minutes but his reci-
tatlons while they seemed not to
have been of more than twenty min

more than an hour. He told Of

to point in France until he reached
the firing line. 1t was his good for

and his description of some of the
great battles was thrilling and inter
esting in the extreme He slept in
dugouts and the cannonading of the
