Bad Medicine.

The house at the horse ranch was long, low L-shaped adobe structure Two men were seated on the porch playing seven up. One was Bad Bill. the other Blackwell. At sight of Curly they gave up their game.
 Hello. kid. Where did you drop from?" Cranston asked.
 A muscle twitched in Flandrau> cheek 'They got Mae. Ran us down near the Circle e. Mae opened fire They-kilied him.
 "Shot him. or" Curly was left to guess the other half of the question.
 ''Shot him and took me prisoner

 ..They could prove I wounded Culli, son. That was enough for them. They set out to hang me. Later they changed their minds"
 "How come you here? Did you es- cape?'
 "Nope Friends dug up bail. Say Soapy has been telling me that the Gull lison kid is up here. I reckon We bet
 ter nor say anything about my miXuI with his folks. I'm not looking for any trouble with him." '.
 All right, Curly"
 Curly sat down on the porch and told an edited story of his adventures to them. Before he had finished z young fellow rode up and dismounted After he had unsaddled and turned his pony into corral he joined the others on the porch.
 Young CullisOn had seated himself +, the chair next to Flandrau. He had so Curly thought, a strong family re- sembance to his father and sister Still a boy in his ways. he might any day receive the jolt that would trans form him into a man.
 Curly studied the characters ot those present. Bill he knew already fairly well as tough nut to crack game to the core, and Staunch to his friends. Blackwell was bad lot treacherous, vindictive. slippery as an eel. Even his cOnfederates did not
 trust him greatly. But it was Soapy and young Cullison that interested Flandrau most. Sam was at an i'm questionable age, inclined to be led by any man whom he admired. Curly knew that he could gain no influence over him by preaching. He had to live the rough-and-tumble life of these men l who dwelt beyond the pale of the law to excel them at the very things Oi
 which they bOasted. But in one re- Spect he held himself apart. While he was at the horse ranch he did not i touch drop of liquor.
 Laura London's letter was not deliv. cred until the second day, for, though she had not told her messenger to give it to sam when he was alone, Curly guessed this would be better. Sam ran over his letter two or three times. It was such message as any hrave-hearted, impulsive girl might send to the man she loved when he
 seemed to her to walk in danger Cul liSon loved her for the interest she took in him, even while he ridicu!ed her fears.
 As they rode back to the ranch Curly mentioned that be had seer Sam's people day or two before. Cullison asked no questions, but he

ALLEGED CASES OF PROF|TEERINC MAY. BE DROPPED
Judge Dyer Indicates He May Follow Judge Paris In Deciding Lever Act Unconstitutional

Indication that the Prescott alleged profiteering would not come to trial in the federal court here was given yesterday when Judge David F. Dyer of St Louis declared that it would take good authority to make him over ride the recent decision of Judge Farls of St Louis, who held the Lever act, under which the cases come, uncon- stitutional
 Judge Dyer told the United States attorneys that they would have to pre- sent excellent authorities, saying he was inclined to follow Judge Paris decision If he does, the alleged profi- teering cases will be dropped.
 Unless other authorities are shown l am inclined to follow Judge Paris decision" stated the court Judge Dyer said he would not pass on the matter, which came up in connection with the Prescott profiteering cases until Tuesday
 Judge Paris held that the Lever act does not define what is an unjust price able He holds that it leaves it to the jury to decide and one jury might think a price fair while another might consider it grossly unjust.
 Statute Shouldn't Be Vague
 NO criminal statute ought to be so vague and uncertain as that a citizen cannot at any given moment know whether he Is felon or patriot Judge Paris says in his decision
 Judge Paris decision was received here yesterday by Leyhe and Burch in response to telegram in which the local counsel for the defense in the profIteerlng wood and flour cases asked for the noted jurist decision in the Cohn Grocery company case.
 Leyhe and Burch are counsel for A D. kauzlarich, who is charged with asking S3.S5 for a 4S-pound sack of Hour, which, it is claimed, should have been sold for s2.50 The other cases that came up yesterday are for alleged profteerIng in wood which Mike Sora villa, Salvador Gonzales, Trinidad Du- ran and Ramon Duran sold for SIS for t~o-fifths of a cord.
 There are other alleged profiteerine cases in the north, and Judge Over stated that he would prefer to hear all or none He said he did not believe that he should sit in some and Judge Sawteile in others, because of, the fact mat their ruling might not be the same
 IT Judge Dyer is guided by Judge arlS decision none of the profiteerinr cases will come to trial

SENSATIONAL CHASE. AF TER CIRCUS MADE BY
 ANDREW BAUMERT, JR.

Trying to catch the Al c. Barnes circus before it crossed the Yuma river, the stopping point of Arizona Jurls- diction, Andrew Baumert, Jr-, secre- tary of the board of directors for. Estate institutions, last Wednesday staged one of the most sensational chases state official has ever engaged in m the pursuit of duty His chase was successful, for after catching the circus at Yuma early Thursday morning, Baumert returned safe and sound that night, and with him he brought tho desired surety bond of s4,oo0, this time a bond guaranteed to be sure-
 As secretary of the board, Baumert had allowed the circus to occupy the state fair grounds all winter on a gentleman'S agreement that the grounds be vacated in clean condition the circus left, without keeping it's agreement It was duly apprehended at Mesa, but allowed to go on it's way after giving a bond which looked all right at first, but which proved to be worthless. This coup left Baumert facing one of two things: catch the circus and get the desired bond, or clean the grounds himself He caught the circus.
 It was last Wednesday morning that Baumert learned through The Repub- Hcan that the circus had started on its way to California after leaving worthless bond behind it. The morn ing trains from Phoenix had also gone. But Baumert was in hurry, and he started the pursuit in a motor car.
 The car took him to Maricopa, but 1t couldn't cross the Gila. Baumert locked the machin. and left it on the river bank, then walked across the trestle and eight miles on into Mari copa. Thre he just missed fast
 n slow freight that got him into Yuma just after midnight
 The circus train was just pulling out for California. Baumert promptly flagged it and bounced on Manager Sands who was in charge of the train A Maricopa county deputy sheriff happened" to be handy to furnish the official look. Baumert demanded proper bond from the circus, even though the hour was after midnight and the train due to be travelling.
 Accompanied by County Attorney ". F. Timmons of Yuma county, Sands went with Baumert and the Maricopa deputy to the office of the una Ab- stract Company, which by a little act of foresight happened" to be open At a. n., the state of Arizona had a s4, ,000 surety bond on the American Surety company of New York to cover the states cost of cleaning up the fair grounds A s60O0 bond was at first demanded. but the s4,000 one was sat iSfactOry.
 After resting a few hours in Yuma, Baumert returned to Maricopa, where kind hearted freight train brought him eight miles up the line to the point where the faithful locked auto was waiting; undisturbed. Then he drove. Incindentally. not content with the days work, he brought back with him two juvenile prisoners from Yuma

peared for the city, and w. Tyler Nc
Lain county, attorney, for the couHty.

ests own a small building at Main
