NEVIS OF INTEREST GATHERED
 HERE AND THERE IN THE STATE
AMBITIOUS LOVER CAPTURES
 MEXICAN SWEETHEART

I guess I'll have to marry him be- cause l promised to, but 1 know mama won't like it." said pretty 15-year-old Mexican girl to Judge w. c. Jack at Douglas, after her impet- uous lover had Kidnapped her from her home and brought her to Judge Jack 5 court room at the city hall and de- manded an immediate marriage. The ardent Romeo said he was 22 years old. He was we'll dressed and the lovelight shone right out of his eyes. The girl gave her age as IS, but even the reporter; who happened to be in the room, could tell that she had stretched it about three years. He could see also that she was very pret- ty. The young man informed Judge Jack that they wanted to be married at once. When the judge asked the girl about it she said she guessed she would have to marry her fellow be- cause she had promised to, but she didn't think he would claim the prom ise so soon. Further questioning brought out the fact that the young Lochinvar had appeared near his Sweetheart's home in service car, called her out and then forcibly put her into the machine and speeded to the city hall.

CATTLE BUYING IN
 SOUTHERN ARIZONA A

During the long time l have been interested in cattle in Cochise county more than 30 years, have never seen so many cattle buyers or more activ- ity among them than now," said Col B. A. Packard, as he bid one leaving his office goodbye.
 Many cattle owners have already contracted their cattle for spring de livery and great many steers have been bought in Mexico for immediate shipment since the beginning of the year." he continued.
 According ito Col, Packard there will hardly be steer left in Sonora in another month if the present de- mand for this class of stock continues as strong as it is now. Most of these cattle are going to Texas, where there is unusually good grass conditions and opportunities for pasturage good Some of these cattle are going to Col orado and Kansas. The large move ment of cattle from this section is bringing much cash to the cattle rais- CTS.

CASSIDY IS STRONG
 FOR LOWDEN FOR PRESIDENT

M. E. Cassidy, of Bisbee, well known republican politician, is in Tucson for few days. MT. Cassidy believes that the republicans of the state should send an uninstructed del- egation to the national convention of the party at Chicago. "For that mat ter, hope the democrats will also send an uninstructed delegation to their convention at San Francisco. The democrats sent a delegation to the Baltimore convention instructed for Clark and the result was that, although it was shown Clark had not the slightest chance, they were pow erless to throw their strength to the winner. Whether a democrat or re- publican is elected president, Arizona is expecting to receive much from the federal government for highways and reclamation, and it's party delegations should be sent to the national con- ventions with hands united so that they may be better able to play their cards for Arizona" Personally, Cas- sidy is strong for Governor Lowden as the republican nominee-"as strong as horseradish," he added.

FOURTEEN DEALERS NOTIFIED
 TO REDUCE PROFIT MARGIN

Fourteen dealers in necessaries at
 Globe and Miami were notified by Fair Price Commissioner Smalley to reduce margins they have been taking on flour and other commodities. Special
 agents of the department of justice
 are making investigations at Globe and Miami, their reports coming to Commissioner Smalley for review. If these sdealers refuse to lower their margins after notice, the matter goes out of the hands of the commissioner and warrants for their arrest will fol- low. The fair price commissioner fix es fair maximum margins, based upon statistical data he has gathered over the state, and in conjunction with fair price boards. In the Globe Miami dis trict the fair price board took the po- sition that there was nothing wrong with prices charged by dealers, and failing to function, Commissioner Smalley then acted.

APPARENT ATTEMPT TO
 ROB HOLRROOK BANK

What looks like an attempted rob bery of the Holbrook State bank oc- cured at 4:30 Tuesday morning. The burglar alarm, which is now part of the equipment of the bank, went off and awakened everybody in the neighborhood. Upon investigation it was found, MT. Raynolds says, that the man had entered through the basement, the trap door in the floor of the bank not having been bolted. He then began working on the lock of the big safe, but the alarm soon went off, which probably frightened the man and he ran away. It is said that one of the first to reach the bank saw man running through the alley. It is needless to say that the trap door has been securely locked ever since. Had it not been for the burglar alarm something more serious might have happened Tribune.

STATE AUDITOR ORDERED TO
 ALLOW CLAIMS OF INGALLS,

State Auditor Jesse L. Boyce has been ordered by Judge Stanford, of the superior court of Maricopa county to at once audit, allow the claims of, and issue warrants on the state treas ury in favor of Walter S. Ingalls,, ad- jutant general, with the alternative of appearing before him on February 19 to show cause why he should no do so.
 The courts writ was served on Dep- uty Auditor M. S. Stanley in the ab- sence from the country of Boyce, who at last account was having one glori- ous good time with the Nogales trade boosters on their famous jaunt through old Mexico.
 "lf Boyce is not surrounded by Yaqui Indians and captured before he touches United States soil, he will be on hand to defend the position of this office," said Stanley He has always contended that no warrants can be is sued to Colonel Ingalls, until the su- preme court of Arizona has ruled whether he or Colonel Harris is enti- tied to the office of adjutant general. In taking this stand, we have had the advice of the attorney general

MUST AN EDITOR
 BETRAY A TRUST

Whether or not Arizona has stat ute which exempts newspaper editor from being forced to disclose the source of any information which he may print is the question which Attor- ney General Wiley K. Jones has been asked to answer by the school of journalism of the University of Mis- souri. The matter has been referred to Louis B. Whitney, assistant, for thorough investigation.
 My knowledge of the Arizona statutes would lead me, offhand, to say that there is no such statute in this state" declared MT. Whitney. But 1 might add" he continued, neither is there any statute which forces newspaper editor to disclose the source of his information"
 Mr. Whitney stated that he would search the Arizona statutes thor oughly, however, in an effort to furn- ish the desired information.

OIL FEVER STRIKES
 ST. JOHNS COUNTRY

B. B. Walker, millionaire oil mag nate and president of the Bankers oil Corporation of Texas, and w. P. Love, former cashier of the St. Johns State bank, who has become extensively in- terested in oil speculations since re- moving from this place to Texas two years ago, have been guests of w. A. Saunders, manager for the Tucker Livestock company, the past week. MT. Walker is accompanied by his wife. They were met at Holbrook by MT. Saunders last Monday since which time they have made trips to the Pine Springs ranch, the Odell and Schnebly ranches, and they are now at the Long H ranch, the headquar- ters of the Tucker Livestock company.
 The object of their visit here is oil. Through the activity of Messrs. Saunders and Love the Bankers Cor poration has become interested in the country north of St. Johns to the ex- tent of leasing twenty townships and since the first of the year they have paid over $3,000 in lease money for this land.
 That the oil prospects are good in this section has time and again been attested to by geologists and experi- enced oil men, and Mir. Saunders has been working quietly for long time to get this corporation to investigate the field. Now they are on the ground, with millions to operate with, and the putting down of a test well to cost $lO0,000 will be their first move, if the conditions meet the expectations of MT. Walker, and MT. Saunders and Mir. Love are confident that they will. Just where the first well will be To- cated has not been determined, but experts will be sent to the field to fig ure out the lay of the land and defn- itely decide upon the best point for drilling.-St. Johns. Observer.

 JURORS BECOME SCARCE

The trial of Harry E. Wootton, hard ware dealer, accused of kidnapping as an aid in the deportation of 11S6 striking copper miners and their sym pathizers from Bisbee in 1917, entered it's third week Monday with talesmen of the last venire of 400 names re- porting for duty.
 In spite of the large number re- porting, it was considered improbable that examination of prospective jur- ors would be undertaken soon on ac- count of the large amount of clerical work involved. Seventeen men are now in the jury box tentatively ac- cepted by both sides. When "A have been passed, half will be excused on peremptory challenges of defense and prosecution.
 Obtaining jurors is increasingly be- coming more difficult because of state ments of veniremen examined they possess fixed opinions. Examina tions last usually but two or three minutes, when the answer is given by veniremen.
