Tombstone be kept in the eyes of the
country through feature stories, sent
out by special writer's who will be
here during the deportation trials, but
it will be in the headlines of the AS
sociated Press reports in almost ev-
cry newspaper in the United States

Tombstone today and has established
his office here to remain throughout
the big trials. A branch office with

TOM BSTONE AGAIN IN LIME
LIGHT-BIG TRIAL ON

Tombstone, Jan. 31.-Tombstone
battles will awaken Monday to the
strangest legal battle in the history
of the United States. For with the
opening of court at o'clock the fate
of approximately 800 prominent citi-
zens of Cochise county charged with
kidnapping as the result of the part
they are alleged to have taken in the
deportation from the Warren district
July II, 1917, will be placed in the mill
of justice.
The defense will endeavor to prove
that the men deported were undesir-
able citizens because of their affilia-
ton with the Industrial Workers of
the World. The prosecution will at .
tempt to prove that the men deport-
ed were seeking only what they were
entitled to receive, and their actions
were not based upon pro-German or
un-American motives.
The case is unique in the annals of
American court history because of
the fact that this is the first instance
when the I. w. w. or any other so
called anti-American or radical ele-
ment has been on the prosecuting
side.
Harry c. Wheeler, although he has
repeatedly expressed his desire to as
sumo the blame for the entire affair
is not among tn defendants to be
placed on trial Wheeler, who at the
time of the deportations was sheriff
of Cochise county, and issued the pro-
clamation ordering the deportations
the day previous to the roundup.
Perhaps the greater part of the
time occupied by the deportation cas-
es will be devoted to selecting a
jury Because of its importance and
interest it has attracted throughout
the county and state, it is believed
there are few men in Cochise county
who have not discussed every phase
of the case and formed an opinion
one way or the other, and the selec-
ton of the jury will hinge mainly
on the matter of law.

ALMOST CERTAIN INDICATIONS
OF OIL IN BOWIE FIELD

Bowie, Feb. 4.-Mr. F. E. HickoX
an oil man and driller of the old
school that has spent many years in
the old Pennsylvania and Indiana
fields and later in the big fields of
Old Mexico and knows formations,
geology and the drilling game from
both ends.
Mr.. Hickox has been in charge of
the drilling for the U. S. Oil & Re-
filming Co, now drilling with a stan
dar rig in the center of the Bowie
Oil Basin north of San Simon and
Bowie on the San Simon Greek, start
ing with a 16 inch hole.
In an interview with local men
this week Mr.. Hickox states in all
his wide experience in many differ
ent fields, he has never seen better
or surer geological and surface indi-
cations for oil and that the formations
thus far drilled through offers more
fiattering encouragements; he stated
at the present time, about 700 foot
depth, there is good oil showings
in every bucket of sluch brought up,
which is evidently seepage of oil
from an immense pool of oil with ev-
cry Indication of high pressure that
is forcing the oil toward the surface
in any possible opening it can find.
Mr.. Hickox firmly believes when
sufficient depth has been attained to
penetrate the cap rock covering this
field it will prove to be a gusher and
that the geological features of this
district justify the opinion of not on
ly a gusher, but also a large pool COW
ering the entire valley of approximate
ly over 500 square miles.

During the thirty-two years or there
abeuts since the earliest recollection OF
Japanese color prints in the United States
began to be formed buyers found dealers
stocks abundant at first, then gradually
becoming less ample, though the lure Of
steadily mounting prices enabled the deal
ers to draw from their hiding places many
prints of the higher grades which in the
earlier years their owners could not be
induced to sell. The growing scarcity has

1t seems likely that henceforth prints or
the most distinguished quality will seldom
be obtainable save through the breaking
up OF existing collections.

to attract print lovers. for IL Is not too
much to say that II is easily the most
important that has ever been offered at

only because of the greater treasures
that IL contains and which cannot fail to
excite active competition, but rather be-
cause of its general high average and the
fact that every print has been selected
