Automobile Owners
 Without Licenses : Will Be Arrested

A. warning to auto owners of CO chise county. who have not yet ob- tained their 1921 licenses from the secretary of state. was issued yester- day by Sheriff Joe Hood, who added that all owners in the county not hav- ing their license or a certificate from County Assessor George Henshaw showing that they have made applica- tion, will be promptly arrested and hailed into court and fined
 Sheriff Hood yesterday issued or ders to all his deputies in the county that promptly on February 1st all auto owners not having their license or certificate showing application has been made. shall be.arrested. Motor officers in Bisbee and Douglas partic- ularly have been advised to look out for the yiolators. Sheriff Hoed stated that auto owners have had ample time to comply with the state law and the excuse that the secretary of state has not had the license plates on hand for delivery to applicants has saved many from arrest:
 But this does not excuse the owner from not having a properly signed certificate from the county assessor showing his taxes on the machine have been paid and application sent into the secretary of state for his license.
 It is expected that the order oi Sheriff Hood will mean a rush for ap plications to the office of County As sessor Henshaw. which has been flood ed ever since the first of the year with accumulated applications. Many more however, have not complied and these will find themselves facing fine il they do not get into line in. compliance with the state law. according to Sher if Hood.

As the situation now stands. Blackburn, who was pre- yiously appointed to the office or the term of two years, alleges that he is still chief of police and that the action of Porter Mcdonald claiming the office is usurpation and asks that Mcdonald be busted from the office and the Blackburn be put in peaceful possession of same The plaintiff al so sues for costs of the suit and for $500 damages against Mcdonald for having withheld the office.
 According to, the city law governing removal of a chief of police, by the common council. such action cannot be taken without legal cause. and il is under this provision that Black. burn is claiming possession Of the office.
 The suit places the status of the controversy to the declsion Of the court, and il is expected that a deci- sion clarifying the situation will be forthcoming within the next two weeks. "
