KAN. PRISONER MAY
 GIVE CLUE ID DEATH
 IF 'MAR|COPA SLIM

The mystery of tine death of 'Slim" Powers, known throughout Arizona as sMaricopa Sim" is about to be solved. according to statements in a letter to Sheriff Montgomery from Special Of ficer Ziegenfuss of the Missouri Pa cific railroad at Coffeyville, kans. Officer Ziegenfuss says in the letter q man sentenced to the Kansas state prison for stealing from box cars ad : nlitted he had killed an officer on a show train near Phoenix. So closely do the facts in the letter bear on the death of Officer Powers that the offi- cials here believe the Kansas prisoner is the man wanted. The letter will be sent to Sheriff H. D. Hall at Florence for verification and answer
 Slim Powers, celebrated Arizona character, was special officer on ths Southern Pacific at Maricopa was found dead in 1915 in the yards at Maricopa beside the body of a fatally wounded white man. Both had drawn revolvers. but the wounded mans gun was not the one that had killed "Slim. < The man died without making state ment and the mystery remained un- solved. It was known that Maricopa Slim" had had an argument W ith three negro stake drivers with circus and that a gunfight had ensued between the officer and a party thought to consist of the negroes and some white men as the show train was leaving that night The negroes, however, were never found and the letter from the Kansas officer is the first clue to the murder.

FROM JAIL, FINALLY DEPORTED,
 BOY |S ''|M'' AGAIN

Somewhat subdued and bleeding pro- fusely from two wounds in the head, L. yego. 16-year- -old Mexican boy, was brought io the county jail last night by Deputy Sheriff Griffin from Marin etc, after the boy had almost bitten a finger from the hand of a sister. In attemD.ifs;, Vc escape from the officer enroute to Phoenix, young Vega struck his head on the iron of tiie auto tcD. cutting a severe gash in his forehead and another just below the eye. Both necessitated two stitches to close.
 According to his father, who ac- companied the deputy. young Vega will not work and spends part of his time smoking "marihuana. His younger brothers are more industrious and when they receive their pay checks the father said. the elder brother by use of ''bandilla" methods gets most of the money for himself. According to the father. the boy also builies his mother and sisters and yes terday he had an argument with one of the latter. He seized one of her

A Matter of Testimony

Testimony as given under oath on the witness stand was the topic of discus sion the other day in a group of att torneys. many of whom have had prac- tical. experiences with witnesses wno have sworn to actual untruthS firmly and conscientiously believing them to be the absolute truth.
 One lawyer related an incident when he defended yeggman. A safe in the postoffice of a town some little dis tance from the city had been blown up one night, and the next day the lawyers client was arrested and charged with the crime, though there was not an iota of evidence against him.
 One of the witnesses for the prose cution was a woman who swore that on the night of the crime she had seen the defendant going to the scene of the robbery on an interurban car. The attorney promptly asked his yeggman client if this were true, and the man confessed he had really blown the safe as charged, but that he had gone to the town on the train, and not on the in = terurban.
 The lawyer could not introduce this fact without convicting his client. how ever. and was forced to let the woman's statement go uncontradicted.
 When the attorney cross examined the woman witness he laid special stress on her statement that she had seen the defendant on the interurban car the night of the crime. In response to questions, the woman declared she had sat three seats ahead of the man. and that he had been dressed then as he was in court. Being pressed as to

 About q year ago. young Vega was subpoenaed as a witness and placed ia the juvenile cell at the county jail fo. safe keeping. During the night he managed to pry the bars apart and slip through.

How he got back to this country is a mystery He will be turned over to the proba- ton officer this morning.

The Way to Handle News


 ing in which Bowen S Beale of Peroia conduct general store. with his usual progressiveness and good will toward his tenants, is having 8 modern store front put in the building to take the place of the old one. The building was originally a dwelling. The lumber for the improvement is already on the ground purchased from Gale and Grows lumber yard, and the hardware and glass, which has been ordered by Henry and Thomas, hardware dealers. from Los Angeles, are now supposed to be on the way to Peoria
 The suggestion for the improvement was offered by a little incident last week in connection with the crime wave which has been sweeping over this community. On Wednesday night the store of Bowen and Beale after business hours. was visited by burglars who attempted to blow open the safe by piling against it a lot of dynamite, nitro -g1ycerine or some other explo- sive material which went off suddenly but failed to break open the safe. It merely displaced it but threw the whole front of the building into the street.
 When Mir. Selden heard of the acci- dent he went to Bowen and Beale and told them that though he had for some time been in need of ready cash with which to remodel the store front as they had requested, it seemed to him now that the time was opportune, as he had just sold five bales of cotton and received the money for it.

Adventurers and c.rriers


 Pa" asked little Tommy Toddle- kins, what does this spell: a-d-v-e-n- t-u-r-e?"
 That" said pa, spells adventure"
 What is a adventure asked Tommy.
 An adventure.'' replied his pa, means many things; it is an under taking, somewhat different from what we call routine. It is something in something in the course of which some thing unforeseen or not Of the ordinary is likely to happen
 ''Yes, now I know" said Tommy, "a ride on the Brill ear line is a adven- ture. for l heard a man say that you never know what's going to happen when you get on the car; whether it will stay on the track or whether the car'l get back in twersty minutes or a half an hour or a tall. I heard two men make a bet the other day when they got on the car. One of 'em says m bet something'lI happen before we get home. The other one he says. You're piker you want to bet on a sure thing. You make a specific bet and I'll take you; I'll bet you one 10 two that the car won't run off the track Or I'll bet you one to three that the motor won't burn out: or I'll bet you even up that the trolley wire won't fall down. Now be a sport; put up or shut up.''
 "Yes." said pa. s'You grasp the idea Tommy. A ride on the Brill car line now and then is an adventure, but for the folks who live along it ana rae regularly and depend upon it to get down town and back home again it is more than an adventure; it is career to which men devote their lives That is, it's a trade or profession.

Shall We Discard Hyphens?

In the struggle for the conservation
of energy and material we are urged
to cut out the hyphens from our books
and writings, says the Chicago Jour
nal. Their use causes us to waste an
enormous amount Of time, ink and
physical force. Some nations build
up compound words without any n.y.
phen to break them, but the English
find one necessary for a simple word
Of five letters, like "to-day." It may
be roughly estimated that each Of the
20OO,OO0,00O people who write Eng
fish write today" tomorrow" or
tonight" three times day. Half an
ounce Of force is required to make
hyphen with pen or a pencil, so
this superfluous symbol entails a to-
tai waste Of 1s,5O0,0O0 pounds daily, or
enough to draw a passenger train
round, the world.
