COCHISE ROAD ROW
 CONTINUES TO GROW

"The state highway department IS stealing all the county's highway equipment" is the latest howl to be set up by the Robertsites, according to word brought to Phoenix from Tombstone.
 This absurd charge has it's begin ming in the fact that State Engineer Thomas Maddock ordered all highway equipment removed from Cochise county to other points when the su- pervisors refused to longer cooperate in the expenditure of the states 75 per cent fund. The law provides that this fund shall be spent in the coun- ties in which it originates, but under the joint supervision of the supervis- ors and the state engineer.
 The charge of equipment stealing rests lightly on the shoulders of high way officials.
 In an interview Fred Holmquist, as- sistant to Maddock, explained that all equipment is handled by the state and does not belong to the counties except as it is placed there for use. As matter of record the equipment is charged up against the county or against the 75 per cent fund when the equipment is placed for use in any particular county, but when re- moved the county is credited with the full value of the equipment. This is just what happened in the case of the withdrawal of equipment from Co., chise county It is a practice which has been followed many years, apd one which, in the opinion of the high way officials, will stand the test of the law.
 The Cochise county supervisors in another counter attack are reported to be circulating the story that Mad dock entered into an agreement with reference to obtaining federal aid to be used with 75 per cent funds for the construction of the Vail-Benson highway.

BLONDE BABY" CASE
 DISMISSED BY COURT

, The suit brought by Cornelia E. Felis, an aged Mexican woman, of Bisbee, against M. Buckmeir, elderly employee of the c. X A., for support of an 1S-months-old blonde baby. flashed in the pan when the plaintiff and herswitnesses failed to show up.
 Judge Allison granted a motion of the defendants attorneys to dismiss the case.
 The suit went to trial last week when the old woman declared that she had lived with Bucl.meir in Lowell for over two years and that the child was his. It was intimated by the defense that she got the baby from Fl Paso and was attempting to blackmail.
 Following the continuance and sub sequent publicity of the case, Cornelia and the child were among the missing. Review.

OBSERVERS. CAPTURED WHILE
 ATTEMPTING TO CROSS LINE

Military authorities of Douglas cap tured two deserters from border cav airy regiments Monday morning just as they were crossing the line into Mexico near Rodeo, with two horses stolen from army stables.
 The men were found in possession of a stock saddle, evidently stolen from some rancher, which the owner can have if he identifies it and returns the army saddle the soldiers probably left in it's stead. The captured de- serters were Privates Davis and Mil Ter. They would have been discharged in few days under the new order recently issued to release emergency men.

STATEHOUSE WING
 NEARLY COMPLETED

In spite of the shortage of mate- rials, the state capitol addition is rap- idly approaching completion. The clustering is practically finished with the exception of part of the supreme court room and parts of the entrance to the addition on the second floor. This portion of the work should be completed within a week.
 Much of the woodwork is already in place awaiting the arrival of the door knobs and locks, which are supposed to have been shipped from the East recently.
 The shelves for the state library are already here and ready to install. Most of the plaster ornaments for the supreme court have arrived, after having been held up for some time, and are being placed. The lights are practically all installed, the windows in, and the sanitary fixtures in place

COPS PINCHED HOUSE WHILE HUNT WAS HER
 GUEST, SAYS WOMAN

Hearing of testimony against the 200 Cochise county men charged with kidnapping as the result of their all legged participation in the Warren dis trict deportations on July 12, 1917, was continued. It is believed that ali of the states testimony will have been submitted by the end of next week, the third week since the joint cases were taken up.
 Testimony of the three witnesses called by the state differed only in detail from that given against the de- fendants in previous sessions of the local justice court in Douglas. A score of the defendants were identified by witnesses as having carried guns and acted as guards during the deporta- tions.
 Much amusement was caused among the defendants when Mrs. Gertrude Bailey, of Globe, testifying for the state, admitted during cross. examina- tion that her rooming house in Globe had been frequently raided by govern ment officials in search of I. w. w. propaganda, and that one of these raids, conducted by the United States marshal on September 10, 1918, had interrupted supper she was giving for former Governor George W. P. Hunt of Arizona.
 The testimony of Tim Hadsall, a Miami miner, summoned as witness for the state, was more favorable than unfavorable to the defendants. Thir- teen of the IF defendants whom Had- sail named were, he said, taking no part in the deportations when he saw them,. and appeared to be merely standing there taking in the sights"

MINING JOURNAL AT
 CLIFTON QUITS BUSINESS

The Mining Journal heretofore pub- lished at Clifton by the Bronson Pub fishing O., has suspended publication, having been sold to Editor W. B. Kelly, of the Copper Era, and will be consolidated. The Mining Journal was established five and a half years ago, and was good newsy paper, but owing to lack of patronage and competition in too small an area, the publishers disposed of it. Editor Bronson goes to Las C.uses, New Mexico, where he is interested in a newspaper with his brother. He was genial good man and will be missed among his newspaper friends oyer the state.

Carranza is pulling a stunt now which is for the purpose of putting his government in the clear should anything happen to Americans visiting Mexico. Before they are given pass ports they are required to sign a statement absolving the Mexican gov ernment from all blame if they are accidentally" killed or robbed. It's wonder that our administration had not thought of that, too, and make the travelling American sign up to the effect that he absolves all countries from doing him any good in case he was foully dealt with, including his own country.
 Safe crackers at Bisbee left very bloody trail behind them and got away with $2,000 from safe at the Treu Meat Market in Brewery Gulch last Sunday morning. It is thought one of the thieves severed an artery while breaking in a rear window.

OUR RELATIONS WITH
BRAZIL,

The visit Of DR.. Epitacio Pessoa, prest-
dent Of Braail. to the United States is an
event Of no little significance. Brazil
was the ono great South American re-
public which unhesitatingly and unwav-
eringiy placed Itself on the side OF the
xllissu1>asAeSecent war. While q -
rentine and chile there have been. in
times past symptoms OF jealousy and
suspicion directed against the United
States. Brazil has been ainEularlS free
from these ereJudrces. and her statesmen
have sought 10 cultivate the friendliest
relations with this country. The Re
public Of Brazil has an immense :erri-
tory. Its riches have scarcely been
touched: thousands Of square miles have
not even been explored. Brazil needs
capital and needs also the directing
force OF experienced builders We can
do a great deal 10 forward the develop
ment OF Brazil. and II is very likely that
American capitalists will play an i'm
portant part in that great country in the
future.
