CANANEA, MEXICO FEARS ANOTHER
 BANDIT RAID
Police Believe All " Men Who Conducted Raid Are
 Local Men.

Douglas, Ariz., May 9.-Fearful of
 a recurrence tonight of raid made early this morning by bandT of v bandits under leadership of MeXi- can who signed "Blas Flores, Viva Villa" to number of receipts for goods stolen from stores at Cam anea, Sonora, the president El Muni- cipal was sending messages to Agua Prieta, Nogales, and Hermosillo urging assistance be sent at once.
 Captain Tato, commander of the Agua Prieta garrison, as yet is un- decided as to his course, awaiting or ders from military headquarters in Hermosillo. His force consists of approximately 50 fiscal guards, there being no regular soldiers in the town. The revised death list at Cananea, is seven including the chief of police, four policemen and two civilians. Twenty two are said to have beer wounded.
 The raid started at 80 this morn ing and came to a conclusion at 4:30 The raiders first appeared in Ron quillo, the business section of the municipality. After an unsuccessful endeavor to open the vault of the Ban- co Mercantile, owned by Frank Proc tor of Los Angeles, and J. M. Gibbs, American consular agent at Cananea, the bandits went to the cashiers home, forced him to dress and go to the bank. They are said to have ex- hibited business-like bomb which they threatened to use unless he con- scented to do their bidding. This after noon, message from Naco said the cashier estimated the amount stol- en from the bank at $22,000 Ameri- can gold.
 Loo. Four Stores.
 Four stores are said to have been footed, among them La Francesa, owned by Felix Brothers, the store of Said Tabet, that of Hopkins Broth CTS, and Mexican Jewelry store. La Francesa store was robbed of goods valued at $5,O00. No violence was done to Americans or other foreign CTS.
 The prisoners were liberated from the two jails and three policemen surprised and disarmed by the ban dits were locked up in cells. These men, wher. released, said they recog- nized at least three of the robbers, as Cananea men and it is the belief of the the Cananea officials that all were local men.
 The raiders left Cananea going southwest through Capote Pass, three miles from sne main town, and to- wardsLos Nogales ranch in the foot hills of the Cananea mountain. They are reported to have been augmented by about 40 of the released prisoners. Late reports said that the residents was taking such protective measures as possible, but he had few rifles and almost no ammunition.

EXAMINERS REPORT
ON COUNTY OFFICES

G. E. Alderman, state examiner
of county offices, who recently com
pleted an examination of the Medina
county offices, has made his report,
which covers the period from July
1, 1915, to April rs, 1918.
While errors and discrepancies are
pointed out in each of the offices by
Mr.. Alderman, the latter is explicit
in not ascribing to any of the officials
intentional dishonesty, but attributes
the Irregularities, for the most part
at least, to misinterpretation of the
statutes governing the conduct Of the
officers.
For instance, Recorder Rice had
employed a credit business to some
extent, instead of cash, as the law
requires, which accounted for dis
crepancy of $569.51. This amount, Of
course, would have found it's way to
the office in due time, but Mr.. Rice
prompetly balanced the account him
self as soon as the irregularity was
pointed out to him. He was compli-
mented upon the general conduct OF
the office.
The Sentinel and Gazette are charg-
ed with having received money for
publishing legal notices that should
not have been paid. Of course, no
advertising is published by either news
paper except by specific order from
the advertiser, who it is to be pre-
sumed knows what he is doing.
The auditor, treasurer, clerk, en-
| gineer, former sheriff R. L. Gehman
| and Probate Judge J. R. Kennan and
County Supt. G. E. jerks, failed to
escape the eagle eye Of Alderman,
| although the discrepancies found were
not of large amounts and the other
Irregularities due to a misunderstand-
ing of what the law requires. In
fact, it is an impossibility for county
officers or anyone else to correctly in
terpret the laws, when one examiner
reverses half the rulings made by the
one who preceded him.
A singular finding was that concern
ing the Medina County Agricultural
Society which was criticised for fail
ure to pay any Of it's directors an al
lowance for conducting the affairs OF
the society.
The total amount of findings is
| $2,174.52, few dollars of which has
already been paid in, and it is likely
more will be.

frame it's own prohibition enforce
ment measures, without outside as
sistance.
It required less than an hour for
the temperance committee to adopt,
practically without debate, twenty one
typewriter pages of amendments
made by the Anti-Saloon League to
the forty-fve-page prohibition en-
forcement bill and agree to recon-
mend the measure for passage to the
house and senate. Although most
of the members Of the committees had
never seen the amendments before, no
attempt was made to discuss or even
read them. AS result of the sudden
demand for speed on the part Of the
dry leaders, the revised bill, on which
Anti-Saloon League officials have Sc
cretly been working for three weeks,
was reported in both branches late
Tuesday and placed on the third read

G.. O. P. THREATEN TO
BLOCK LIQUOR MEASURE

The second prohibition enforcement
bill, which provides the state mach
inery for enforcing the prohibition reg
ulations, may force a test of strength
between the Ohio Anti Saloon League
and the Republican majority in the
general assembly.
Following it's action Tuesday in
recommending for passage the prohl-
bition enforcement regulations bill as
revised by the Anti Saloon League Of
fcials, the temperance committees OF
the house and senate met Wednesday
to take similar action on the measure
creating enforcement machinery.
Republican leaders suggested that
the provision putting the patronage Of
the chief enforcement officers staff In
the hands of the governor be changed
so as to make the attorney general
the appointing officer. Since the
present encouragement is a Repub-
lican, such a change would enable the
G. o. P. to snatch a few of the state
appointments away from the Demo-
cratic executive.
For reasons which it has not di-
vulged, however, the Anti-Saloon
League. Intends to ignore the wishes
Of the Republican members. 1t is
strongly intimated by the dry leaders
that the bill will leave the appointing
power of the state prohibition COM
missioner in the hands of the COVER
nor. This may be designed to at
tract enough Democratic votes to en-
able both enforced bills to be passed
as emergency measures.
A loss Of even part of the antici-
pated Republican vote might suffice
to defeat both enforcement measures.
In such an event the Legislature would

day, not depending upon the fire to
warm the room. She always wears
her bonnet and warm clothes, as do
the men; they even leave their hats
on while eating. She does all her
cooking over the fire, or places
shovel full of hot Goals in an earthen
vessel and cooks over this, keeping
them hot by using a small bellows.
The funniest thing of all is little

she slips a jar of Goals from the fire

the women here have one OF these
and if they go calling they always
take it along with them, tucking
them so we'll under their skirts that
one would hardly notice them.
Everybody wears wooden shoes
here, the ladies generally having
leather uppers, while the men wear
the same style as the "Dutch cleans
ers." Felt slippers or heavy socks
are worn inside the shoes. Grandma
has two pairs-one she keeps all
shined up for Sunday. She looks
quite odd hobbling down the street
with her little white bonnet, long
black cape and skirt, with cane in
one hand and her Bible tightly clasped
in the other, and her loose wooden
shoes changing against the stone
pavement. But before the chimes in
the beautiful old church tower stop
ringing, grandma is in her place,
whether it be early mass at 6 o'clock
or regular services at 10.
The women do a large share OF the
work in the fields. Most of the men
seem to be crippled, or not yet back
from the front. Nothing is done by
machinery, most Of the factories be-
ing located in the region devastated
by the Germans.
The French people are very courteous
to us. I wish I could say as much
for our men, but I guess the French

least they think we are all rich, and

polish.

The section of the search and seiz-
ure provisions permitting contraband
liquor to be seized without search
warrant has been amended SO as not
to apply to private dwellings,.
Practically all of the other amend

on the use of alcohol in the profess

are compelled to use this substance
or it's compounds in their work. Dem
lists and veterinarians are included in
the list of professionals who are to be

holic grape juice and cider, in which
the same equipment is used as in al
