FIND STILL IN
 HIDDEN CELLAR
Liquor Costs $l to Make and Is Sold for $25 by
 Bootleggers

A big still in full operaiion and neatly concealed beneath the floor ing. was captured yesterday in house behind Midway park in John son Addition by Constable Sheppard and Deputy Sheriff Ash, who arrest ed !. E. Johnson and J. K. Hudson. charged with operating it. Accord ing to the officers. the two men ad- mitted that they were operating the still. and Johnson, who was in the house at the time the raid was made, said Well, it's Friday the thir- teenth."
 Ash said that when they entered the house there was nothing what ever to be seen that might indicate that still was in operation. Before entering he had watched the house with Sheppard and they knew that Johnson was in it, but he was mo- where in sight. A gasoline stove on an oil-cloth mat stood in one corner of the kitchen. The officers moved the stove and mat and found a trap door, which they opened and found a concealed cellar with the still in operation and Johnson in attendance.
 As Johnson could not have got in and moved the stove over the trap door without assistance, and could not have got out again without as- sistance, the officers surmised that he must have an accomplice. They waited for a time and Hudson came in and was promptly arrested.
 The still was operated by three burner oil stove and was made of copper boiler that holds about 20 gallons. Three gallons of finished liquor and three gallons of partly finished was taken with the still. Prunes and other kinds of fruit were being used in the manufacture.
 According to the officers, Johnson and Hudson freely admitted that they had installed the still and op- erated it. Ash said that Johnson told him that the liquor cost from s1 to $150 a gallon to make and that they sold it for $25 a gallon. Tly two men will be prosecuted by the coun- ty under the state prohibition law.

POSTAL ORDERS
 MEET EXCHANGE

Anew schedule fer the conversion of United States money into foreign money on international money orders has. been received by Postmaster Byrns at Warren and will go into ef- feet August 15. The new schedule is provided on account of the long continued depreciation of currency in foreign countries. Under the old schedule $100 was converted into only 515 French francs, while under the new schedule it is converted into 1030 francs.
 Byrns was unable to say if the loss occassioned by the old schedule was covered by the international exchange at New York. Many people have been buying bank drafts in preference to money orders when sending money to Europe on account of the descrepan- cies of the old schedule.

ANSWER FALSE ALARM.

Yesterday was Friday, the 18th, and but two little things happened to make it seem like ''hoodOo" day in Bisbee. About o'clock in the af- ternoon some little boy on upper O.. K. street wanted to see how fast the fire engine could pull the hill to the vicinity of his house in case there was a fire, so he pulled the hook of box 2-5 and Bisbee No. 1 made eX- cellent running time to the scene. AS they turned from Naco Road into O. K. street a little black dog, hear ing the roar of the approaching en- zine, decided to investigate ny get ting out in the middle of the road. His investigations were stopped short by the rush of the big wheels of the truck over his body.

sLAMEs THIEVES FOR FIRE.

It is now believed that the resi- dence in Tombstone canyon occupied by William Carver which was destroy ed by fire Thursday night, was rob bed shortly before the fire, and that the fire was caused by the careless dropping of cigarette, or was pur- posely done by the thieves to cover up their theft. Mr. Carver, stated yesterday that there had been no fire in the house since the morning before, so it could not have started in the kitchen, as was commonly be- lieved. A 3S-calibre automatic which Mr Carver kept under his pillow and a jar which contained between 400 and 500 pennies, which the children had saved, were missing. They could not have been taken immediately fol lowing the fire as several neighbors stayed on the premises until the ar rival of MT. Carver.
