REAL LIVE ARIZONA
 SHERIFF INTERESTS BOSTON

Sheriff Robert Lee Newman, of Nav ajo county, Arizona, put into Boston yesterday, sombrero, khaki knee brooches and all, on a man hunt that has led him a long crooked trail from Gods country" In Everett yester- day, with the assistance of Chief of Police Hill, he 'lassoed' his man and as soon as the extradition fight is over starts back with the prisoner chained to him, Arizona fashion, on four-day railroad jaunt to the Navajo county jail and justice.
 The prisoner now in the custody of the Massachusetts State Police, is wanted back in the cattle country, &C., cording to Sheriff Newman, for forg- cry. The warrant for his arrest in the sheriff's pocket charges Preston Simms, half Negro and half Mexi- can, with forging checks for s390, s100 and $500, respectively, on the Jen- nings Auto company, the Ford Auto company, and the Round Valley bank, all of the city of Holbrook, Ariz.
 The money involved in the capture is hardly worthy of the effort and expense to "get" the prisoner. Be- sides Sheriff Newman says he likes the wide open spaces better than the cowpaths of Boston streets. But out in Arizona, when the sheriff says he's going after man, he doesn't gener- ally come back without him, is about the way this veteran of the old school of sheriffs puts his last man-hunt case.

APPEALS TO HOLD PLACE AS
 JUSTICE OF NAVAJO PEACE

John L. Sweeney, of Winslow, to- day filed an appeal in the state su- preme court from a decision of the superior court busting MT. Sweeney from the office of justice of the peace at Winslow. Mir. Sweeney was ap- pointed justice of the peace by the board of supervisors of Navajo coun- ty to fill out the unexpired term of J. F. Maloney, who died in office. The appointment was made on December 8, 1920, and on the first rday of Jan uary new board took office. On Jan uary 3 the new board appointed Rob- ert B. Walton to serve the remainder of Maloney's term.
 The county officials instituted suit against MT. Sweeney on February 5 to oust him from the office of justice of the peace on the ground that there was nothing to show he had been ap- pointed at a regular meeting of the board of supervisors.

HYDROPHOBIA SKUNK BITES
 BOWMAN NEAR BENSON

Bitten by a hydrophobia skunk, which attacked him while sleeping on the ground, John w. Miller, a cow man, is en route to Fl Paso where he will take the Pasteur treatment.
 Miller, who was night herding a bunch of cattle, had placed his tar paulin and bed on the ground at a point several miles from Benson, pre- pared to spend the night there. Upon going to bed the cowman says he smelled skunk, which caused him to cover his head with his tarpaulin. He slept through the night without molestation and upon awakening Sat urday morning, as he threw the cover from his head, was attacked by the skunk. The animal fastened its teeth in Miller's lower lip and in tearing loose it's hold, the lip was badly lac erated. After killing the skunk, Mil Ter rode to Benson and took the first train for Fl Paso. He took the body of the skunk with him for examination by Dr. Hugh White, physician in charge of the Pasteur Institute of that place.

SEEK TO LOWER FREIGHT
 RATES ON ARIZONA HAY

Relief to starving cattle in Ariz- ona as well as for the farmers of the Salt River valley is sought in an ap- plication before the Arizona Corpora tion commission seeking a reduction of 25 per cent in the intra-state freight rate on hay.
 Hay growers who attended the hear ing testified that they would be bene- fited by hay movements which the re- duced rate would bring, and cattle men gave evidence to show that cheap hay is sorely needed at this time for range stock of drought stricken dist ricts.
 Before the recent advance of 25 per cent imposed by the Interstate Com merce commission the rate on hay from Salt River valley points to Tue son was $5 per ton. The present rate is S6.25. The cattlemen are seeking to have the old rate temporarily re- instated.

NEWS OF INTEREST GATHERED
 HERE AND THERE IN THE STATE
SECRETARY HALL REFUSES
 TO CALL SPECIAL ELECTION

Secretary of State Hall in letter to the attorney general made it quite plain that the petition filed against house bill No. S3 has blocked the ef- fort to hold a special election next November to determine whether the state shall guarantee bonds of private irrigation projects. The letter was in answer to a communication from the attorney general in which he declared that, in his opinion, the secretary of state should disregard the referendum petition directed against paragraph 4 of house bill S3 on the ground that it amounted to a referendum of a referendum" This section says:
 Section - That said proposed amendment shall be submitted to the electors of the state of Arizona for their approval or rejection at a spec ial> election which is hereby called for Nch purpose, to be held in manner provided by law for general elections, on the Sth day of November, 1921
 In reaching his decision, Secretary Hall points out that the opinion of the attorney general dealt with house bll S3 as a whole, whereas the ref erendum was directed at section only and calls attention to the fact that the lower house recognized that a referendum could be filed against the section mentioned and placed an en- ergency clause to the bill, which clause, for some reason not known to Secretary Hall, was stricken from the measure by the Senate. Secretary Hall, in his reply, says:
 "I can find nothing in your opinion as to why should not obey the con stitutional mandates and submit the referendum against section of house bill S3 to the people at the next gen. eral election, and at the same time submit the amendment to the constitu- ton as proposed in house bill 93, with the exception of section of said bill. I do not see houw can refuse to obey constitutional mandate concerning my official duties, even though SUD- ported by your official opinion."
 Secretary Hall advises those who think he is not performing his duty properly to institute proceedings at once"

NAMES OF PADONED MEN
 NOT TO BE MADE PUBLIC

Names of paroled and pardoned prisoners from the state pententiary at Florence will not be given out in the future, according to the announce ment of w. J. Galbraith, attorney gen eral, on his return Sunday to Phoenix from Florence, where the board of pardons and paroles held two days session.
 Galbraith said that the ruling was made at the request of the prisoners, one of their number appearing before the board and urging the members to aid them in making a clean start" He said that the men after having served the punishment dealt them by law had paid the price of their mis- take.
 Do not keep alive the fact that they are lawbreakers," urged the con vict.
 The board agreed to suppress the names, policy that has heretofore been in effect in the matter of paroles and pardons from the industrial school at Fort Grant. An 1S-year-old boy from Pima county, who was in prison was paroled to the Fort Grant insti- tuition at the meeting, where 72 cases were considered. There will be no further meetings of the board until September, Galbraith said.
 Of the number of men who came before the board at its last session this summer, 16 receiver paroles and in two cases paroles were revoked and the prisoners returned to prison. All but two of the many matters that came to the attention of the board were disposed of and these two will re- quire detailed investigation.

NAVAJO BLANKETS WILL BE
 CHEAPER SOON IS PREDICTION

Ramah, N. M.-Navajo blankets are going to be cheaper in the near fu- ture because of an economic pinch among the Navajo Indians, according to present indications, the low price of sheep and wool being hard on the Indians who subsist cheifly on sheep. With the market for wool weak, the Indians are converting their wool into blankets, creating an abnormal sup ply, which is driving the price down. The situation is expected to ease up in the fall, when the pinon nut crop is harvested.

HIGH MINDED THIEF CLIMBS
 STACK TO GET PLATINUM

A thief who must have been a steeple jack and who undoubtedly pos sessed information concerning the na- ture of his prospective haul, recently got away with approximately $400 worth of platinum from the highest point on the new brick smoke stack at the International Shelter. The platinum adorned the topmost points of the four lightning arresters used to safeguard the stack from stray at mospheric electrical bolts.
 That the thief is steeple-jack is attested by the altitude of the smoke stack-275 feet
