 He told them they were under ar rest as suspects in the Yuma store robbery. This apparently did not suit the three men and they covered the constable with pistols and removed his handcuffs from his pocket. They then handcuffed his hands behind hls back and led him into a draw near by After a short barley, the men decided they would kill the constable and 1n- formed him of their intention.
 Constable O'Neill finally talked them out of their desire to end his career as a peace officer. They left him in the draw and proceeded to their car and drove away toward Phoenix. The constable managed to get back to Glla Bend and notified the sherlfts office here. The three were at large at J late hour last night

DAYS FAST SMELLS
 RELIEF FUND S3OOO

By a days fast of members of the four stakes of the Latter Day Saints church in Arizona, approximately s3,000 was raised for the Near East and Euro pean Relief fund. David A Smith, pre- siding bishoprie of the Mormon church who received the reports yesterday, ad- vised local leaders that St. Johns stake had raised $416.S0; Snowflake state, S516S6; Maricopa stake, S612.36; and St Joseph stake, S1,1S345 making in all s2,729.47. It is believed that an addi- tional fund, not yet reported, will bring the amount to $3,00O, which will be used for the starving children abroad.
 The fund was raised by the members of the Mormon church, who contrib uted the amount of a Sunday breakfast and luncheon to the cause. Over $100,- 900 was procured by this method all throughout the country, making an av- craze of 50 cents for each person who contributed.
 L. c. Snow, assistant state historian and one of the most sincere church workers in the valley, Tn discussing the Mormon policy in vogue since the or ganization of the church in 1880, said yesterday that the one fast day month cared for the poor of the Mormon church.

IMPORTANT NEW JOB
 FOR WOMAN

When State Senator Eyre of the Pennsylvania general assembly ap- points Mrs. B. B. Everett as clerk Of the senate appropriations committees, of which he Is chairman, he will not only set a precedent in Pennsylvahia but in many other states as well.
 This committee is the most import ant and active in the whole Pennsyl- vania legislature, and it's clerkship heretofore has been filled by men who were considered ultra-experts in their line. The appointment of a woman is causing a great deal of discussion and speculation, despite the fact that Mrs. Everett is experienced in legislativs matters. In the session of 1917 she was listed as a general assembly steuo- grapher, while in 1919 she assisted Senator Eyre in clerical work on the highways committee.
