NOGALES-A night Waterman who
carries a stove with him to drive away
the bite of nippy nights and early
mornings is among the many unique
things to be seen in and about both
Nogales.
The hero of the present chronicle of
events is Jim Johnson, oldtime Arizo-
na-side police officer, now constable
elect. Jim has a long record of eff
cheney and usually gets what he goes
after.
Almost any night after the leaves
begin to fall, the old timer can be
found tucked away somewhere outside
the priceless treasures of wearing ap
parel he guards for a Morley avenue
concern. The stove is there too,-just
as much a part of Jim as his face
and warming him up ready to go at
the first sign of danger to the property
in his charge
After having assimilated the stove
idea, Jim's political foes know why he
made such a hot race last election
