SHOCKING TRAGEDY AT RUBY
P. 0. MONTANA CAMP, ORC

In the early hours Saturday morn
ing word was brought to Nogales that
Alexander and John A. Frazer, we'll
known mining men and merchants at
Ruby Postoffice (Montana Camp
had been shot down in cold blood and
their store and postoffice looted.
A little later an automobile came
into town, conveying John A. Fraser,
who was severely, if not mortally,
wounded. and he brought the infor-
nation that his brother, Alexander
Fraser, had been assassinated by one
Esequiel Lara, who lives in Sonora,
somc eight or nine miles south fron
the scene of the tragedy.
AS related by the survivor. the
murder and assault occurred about 9
o'clock Thursday evening. His broth
er was in the store and he was in q
room in the rear. He heard a shot,
and fastening into the store he found
his brother sweltering in his own
blood upon the floor. He was con-
fronted by Lara, who was armed, and
made him open the safe at the point
of pistol and hand over the money
in the safe. With Lara was another
Mexican whom Mr.. Fraser did not
recognize. After he had complied,
Lara shot him down also, the bullet
destroying his right eye and coming
out at the back of his head. Besides
robbing the safe of money, Lara and
his companion looted the store and
postoffice.

for the establishment of a school at
Camp Benning, Georgia, to turn out
army physical instructors have been

ESCH.CUhI|V||NS Bill BECOMES 4 LAW
A SENSATION SPRUNG
WHY WIVES COMPLAIN.

"When a husband is niggardly
enough to deny his wife an allow
ance to do with as she sees fit, he
must expect unpleasant situations to
arise in his home," opines Margarita
Fisher, whose latest American pro-
duction, Charge 1t To Me-" is a
merry farce revolving around that
subject.
"While Charge 1t To Me- is man.
ifestly a farce" she added, ""it pre-
sents an embarrassing condition that
is quite likely to result in any home
where the husband insists on paying
all the bills and the wife has no ready
cash to meet the hundred and one
trivial needs that every woman
knows.
"Why, | know at least dozen mar
gied women, living in more or less
luxury, who have to humiliate them
selves right along by conniving with
Idressmakers and tradespeople to pad
the bills and then refund the over
payment when the husbands check
arrives. The women hate to do it,
not only because of personal pride,
but because it puts them to a degree
at the mercy of these people. But
what are they going to do when
straightforward appeals for regular
allowance meet with nothing but re-
fusals?
Maybe some of these wives who
come to see Charge 1t To Me- will
take tip from what happens in the
case of Winnie Davis-that's me in
the picture-and stage a somewhat
similar eye-opener in their own
homes. Lots of husbands mean all
right, but the old-fashioned ideas of
family finance are so firmly planted
in their minds that it takes nothing
short of an operation or an explosion
to supplant them with the modern
ideas which. the modern woman in
sists upon. Charge 1t To Me- is a
little st-graduate course in domes-
tic finance for both hubby and Wife"
Miss Fishers philosophy is inter
esting. and so is the way her new
picture sets it forth. Charge 1t To
Me" will be at the Royal theatre to-
day.
