WHAT IS THE FASTEST
 THING ON THIS EARTH?
Opinions Vary Greatly

an animated discussion as to
 what is the fastest thing
 on earth. One maintain
 ed the flying machine was the
 fastest, while the other claimed
 the honor belonged to the auto
 mobile. "You are both wrong" "
 chirped Jerrie Dufield, tits
 me when the dinner bell rings"
 There are six men languish-
 ing in jail at Flagstaff today
 who will take an oath that,
 faster than the f1ying-machine
 faster than any automobile, and
 even faster than Jerrie Duffield
 when he hears the dinner bell,
 are city marshall Bobby Burns
 and Deputy Sheriff Charley
 Campbell!
 Sunday afternoon about 4
 o'clock six young hobos were
 standing in front of Shau's Cafe
 on Railroad Avenue watching
 the proprietor prepare a savory
 meal for customer. Then
 noted the fact that the meal
 was evidently intended for ou- side delivery, and when they
 saw Shau pick up the tray and
 walk out the front door, they
 waited unti he disappeared;
 whereupon four of the six enter ed the restaurant and proceed ed to tap the cash register, while two remained on guard outside.
 Shau had only gone to deliv- CT the meal at the rooming house two or three doors from his restaurant, and when, after an absence of not over three or four minutes, he appeared on the scene, the two men left on guard gave quick, sharp warn ing to their confederates and hastily beat a retreat. As Shau entered the cafe the four men were engaged trying to un- lock or pry open the cash draw CT, which Shau had taken the custmary oriental precaution to lock when he left the cafe. ."Chin gow! Chuch-a-luck-e mow-hee! Muck-a-hy!" exclai- med the astonished proprietor as he realized what was going on; while the four hobos, ev1- dently not accomplished in the language by which they were concluded that ex- plantations were probably use less, and retreated ito prepared | ground, according to previously | prepared plans."
 Shau immediately got in touch with marshal Burns, who was reinforced by deputy sher- if Campbell. The two officers quickly concluded that the would-be robbers would attem- pt to catch a freight train which at that moment was leaving the station. Hastily grabbing an automobile, Burns and Camp bell drove as fast as gasoline can carry one to the Rounseville ranch on the Flagstan road, abandoned the automobile, and proceeded on the run to catch the freight, which had just ar rived at the heavy grade east of town and was, therefore, run AAA1A6 VO4y S4OWly. bOafOlnp the train, the two officers soon apprehended one of the hobos. while the other five had drop ped off the train and returned to town evidently having seen the two officers when they their car and knew that they would be able to catch the freight.
 Returning with their prison CT, the officers were engaged in opening the front door to the Jail when marshal Burns obser- ved two or three men intentIy the operation from the White Grotto restaurant. Concluding that these men dis more than passing in .erest in the officers action. ourns told Campbell to join him at the White Grotto when the was locked up, and pro ;eeded to investigate the stran- gers. When the men saw ( Burns coming up the street hey entered Pedro Garcia's pool hall, while Burns passed trough the pool hall of Mague- I ito Torres, and suddenly ap-
