And on his back from day to day

SHRINE HALLOWE 'EN
 PARTY DIG SUCCESS

There may have been in the past finer Halloween parties than that which was held by the Shrine Patrol last evening at the Shrine audito- rum, but Phoenix history does not record them. From early in the eve hing until long after midnight hun dreds of Phoenicians tripped the light fantastic at the great hall on West Washington street, while other hundreds of children enjoyed the best entertainment which has ever been presented in this city on the day of the celebration of the festival of hobgoblins, sprites and fairies whose earthly appearance is restricted to the eve of All Saints day.
 While the party dance given by the Shrine Patrol exceeded the expecta- tions of all who were connected with the affair, the festivities which had been set apart for the kiddies of the city took first place in the success of the arrangements. The main dining room of the auditorium had been prepared for the children in a spe- cial manner, and from the beginning of the dance until midnight it was devoted entirely to the entertainment of the little ones. Particularly at tractive in the party dance itself was the array of fancy costumes. Every l costume was original, and as far as the feminine attendance was con cerned, more than intriguing.

On account of variance between

 reversed the court below in the case
 of A. C. Cook, convicted in the su- perior court of this county of the crime of forgery. The check, for $50, was drawn upon the Pinal Bank X. Trust company of Florence and bore tbe name of c. c. Powell. MT. Powell was at that time, April 20, 1920. superintendent of the state nrison. The form of the check in inc information did not indicate his nosition. But the check in evidence bore the name, Arizona State Prison. l c. c. Powell, Sup't". and the sigma tl1re was followed by the word, sup erintendent." The difference was held to be essential in that in the first case the check if good would have been against the personal ac- count of MT. Powell, While In the other case, it would have been cash ed out of the state prison fund.
 The judgment of the lower court was affirmed in the case of Tomas Roman. convicted of the crime of murder in the course of a hold-up of the Baber-Jones store at Tempe last January. There were several assign
 
 ments of error, none of which were held to be material or prejudicial to the defendant.
 In the case of Lewis Walker, ap- pellant, against the state, respond ent, this county, the judgment of the | lower court was reversed and the case remanded. The appellant had l been convicted of the crime of rape, the complaining witness being Ruth
 Rrakebill, a waitress of Mesa. The 1 appellant complained that the court | had erred in denying motion for | new trial on the ground that the i state had failed to prove that the prosecuting witness was not the wife
 of the defendant at the time of the 1 alleged crime. That assignment was 1 dismissed.
