POSSE ON TRAIL OF
 ESCAPING CONVIeFS

TUCSON, Dec. 26.-Posses from four counties are today searching the mountains of southern Arizona, along the border, in an effort to cap ture two convicts who escaped from the state penitentiary at Florence Monday night, kidnapped the young daughter of a Pinal county cattle man, and, with another woman, are making their way to Mexico in a stolen automobile The kidnapped girl is Laura Foreman, Y years of age, daughter of Arthur Foreman, rancher, near Florence, and a note which she dropped, addressed to John Buck, of Greaterville, and ask ing for help, furnished the first clue to the whereabouts of the party. The two convicts, J. C. Wunder, alias Frank Warden, convicted of burglary from Maricopa county, and Emmett McDaniels, a convicted horse thief from Douglas, had been "honor men" for some weeks, but fled Monday night in a high-powered motor car taken from the penitentiary garage. Going to the Foreman home, they abducted the girl and are said to have picked up a woman from Phoe- nix at rendezvous agreed upon. The note dropped by the girl said they were making their way to No gales, on the border, and it is feared they have made their escape across the line. Sheriff Hall of Pinal coun- ty, and a posse, came to Tucson, through which the party passed early yesterday morning, going south at high speed. Posses from Pinal, Pima, Santa Cruz and Cochise counties have taken the trail.

SHOOTS GUN OUT OF HANDS OF BOOTLEGGER
CFrom Fridays Daily)

The sheriff's office yesterday after noon received some additional partic- ulars of the gun battle which Deputy Sheriff Johnnie Munds engaged in with an alleged bootlegger at Black Canyon, near Verde, on Christmas Eve. According to the report which reached Undersheriff ]. H. Robin son, Munds, who is stationed at Yer de, had learned that a shipment of liquor was to come into the district, and ne went to Black Canyon, eight miles distant, to intercept it if pos sible He had not been there very long when a man named Fred Glenn cnts and an unknown stranger ap- peared from the north driving la Dodge car. Munds got the drop on the driver and ordered him to halt, the order being complied with. Both of the occupants got out and the of ficer called on them to throw up their hands. The stranger did las he had been told. Clements instead of obey ing, lodged behind his companion, and drawing his six-gun, he attempt ed to cover the officer, all the while pushing his companion in the latter's direction.
 Munds, being quick on the trigger, did remarkable piece of shooting just at that point. He succeeded in shooting the Colt out of Clements grasp, inflicting painful though not serious wound in the mans right hand. That shot ended all attempts at resistance on the part of the boot legger, and both men were brought to the Jerome jail Four cases of whiskey were found in the car when Munds searched it. Clements will be given his hearing before local jus tice of the peace and will probably be brought to jail here within the next few days. The officers are in clined to believe that the companion of the wounded man was not con nccted with the booze shipment, but that he was merely riding in the ma chine at the time the owner was afr rested.

ANOTHER YAVAPAI
 SOLDIER WOUNDED
.(F1on, Thrrsdav,s Daily.l

Samuel Boblett, visitor yesterday rom Lynx Creek, reported that he had been advised that his son, Ed ward Boblett, had been wounded in action overseas, but the he will re- cover. The boy had been under treatment in a base hospital for about five weeks, but no particulars were given of the character of his wounds. He is a native of Yavapai, and was serving with the 30th Infantry of the regular army, which regiment sus- tained frightful casualties, being en- gagged in all big battles. It is a source of qualification to the many friends of this boy that ne has escaped the sad fate of so many others of that valiant command.

FORESTS FOUND TO BE
 HELPFUL TO IRRIGATION

ALBUQUERQUE, Dee. 25.-That the forest cover holds back the melt ing snow in the spring, thus making the water available later in the sea- son when more needed for irrigation purposes, is indicated by the results of a snow study made on the Des- chutes National Forest in Oregon, and the Wenatchee and Columbia National Forests in Washington, by the forest service. A report of this study was published in late issue of the Monthly Weather Review.
 For the past three winters meas urements of snow depth in the open and at closely similar places in the forests have been made by forest of fiers. It has been found that as the snow disappeared in the open there was on an average seventeen inches of snow left iu the woods, enough to make layer of water seven and onc-half inhes deep. It took from one to six weeks longer for the snow to disappear from the forested areas; the average length of time being sev- enteen days. The amount of snow conserved by the forest was greatest where the forest cover was most dense. Aside from this influence, and few drifts, the snow stayed longest at high attitudes and on steep north slopes. The two factors of slope and altitude strongly affect the melting of snow, and great care was taken. all through the work to be sure they were similar for each pair of snow stakes in the open and in the timber.
 The value of heavy forest cover to irrigators lies in its ability to pre- vent the snow from melting early in

 Mrs. Miller enjoyed a large Fac quaintance i'll this section, hay ing also many friends who will regret that one so young and of such a pleasing personality should be called away. The funeral was held It Wickenburg on December 24th, Rev. Jenkins, of the Phoenix Epis- ,opal church officiating. The attend lncc was large, reflecting the estim- able character of the deceased.

by announcing. her marriage to Paul Robertson, young man, of San Francisco, the wedding having taken place in the Bay City a few days ago. Mrs. Owen had been residing at her country home near Oakland since leaving Prescott several months ago, and none of her intimate friends hereabouts were aware of the fact that she was contemplating any such a step as that taken last week. She had been expecting to return to Prescott to reside permanently, but now that she has become the bride of Mr. Robertson, she will in all probability not return to this city but will dispose of her business in tercsts in Prescott.
 The groom is one of the most skilled rivet workers in the shipyards in the vicinity of Frisco, and in fact is rated as the champion rivctcr in that section. So rapid has been his work on the new hulls that his wages often amounted to $25 a day He be- came acquainted with Mrs. Owen during the time that both families were residents of Denver The many friends of the bride in Prescott and other parts of the county arc happy to sec the lady's romance come to a happy continuation, and extend their hearticst wishes to the groom and his popular bride.

 December 4, 1918. Dear Aunt:
 In this out-of-the-way place one would think he was shut out of the world, so far as meeting acquaint- ances, but such Is not the case. In the past eight months have met three Arizonans and they are the following named. Jim Gray, stonemason of Jerome who lived there when I was there He had a sub-contract, but I can't tell you what his work was, as it is barred by the ordnance offi- cers. Then a few weeks ago when on special messenger duty to Colon, who should I bump into but Frank Darris, and we approached each other with a grin. Darris stated he was there with a mining man to take samples from a placer bed up the country $ miles distant, and was re- turning to Galveston by steamer in a few days. He didn't know what val ues were recovered, and had his pass ports already signed up. He had to produce this authority a dozen times in less than two hours, as the federal officials don't take a chance with any one these days.
 Then I met Gordon McRae, who formerly was at Jerome. He is with the Scotch people who were operat- ing the Cleopatra. He is civil en- gineer, and conversant with mining work. He is at work near here for the government, and we had a rcgu- lar home talk. McRae is one of the most loyal of Scotchmen and he said he was sent here from Washington on special construction. He stated that Clint Griffith, James Armstrong
