 nearkill opoCW Mi yer
 Sheriff Mahoney received
 word Tuesday near noon, that Jess Windel the fiftl1 man want ed in Los Angeles in connection
 with the killing of two police men in that city was in his terri tory. Within twenty minutes
 he had picked up the trail. A man heavily armed and travel ling in a Ford Coupe had pass ed thru Oatman that morning The Sheriff soon traced the coupe to Seligman thru which town it had passed in hurry at 3 :45 D. m.
 Sheriff Mahoney grabbed Deputy Harris and they took & train to Seligman. Deputy sher- if Sterling Hummer and J. R. F'rohman, a special officer of the Santa Fe, joined them at Selig- man. W. H. Murray another special Santa Fe officer tele- graphed the sheriff, from Ash Fork, that a Ford Coupe was stuck in the mud near Pinevita- So Sheriff Mahoney, Deputy Harris and Deputy Hummer and Officer Frohman took an other eastbound train. Before they started they received au- thority to stop that train-an overland Iimited-at any place and any time they chose.
 They spotted the coupe from the train. They stopped the train, walked back and inspect ed it. A man had left the car and his tracks were fresh in the muddy ground. They fol- lowed the tracks.
 Section foreman McNei1 and Windle stood talking outside the section house as the officers approached. Windle saw them and went into the house. The officers were not then sure that he was the man they sought
 "I want to see the man who owns the coupe up the road" Sheriff Mahoney told McNeiI.
 He's in the house." the fore man said. My wife is there, 5oo."
 "Get him out here," said the Sheriff. McNeal went into the house.
 Whale peered from the front 1oor, saw the officers and back ed into the house.
 Two monutes later came the our shots which ultimately killed him.
 Officer Murray accompanied oy Deputy sheriff Bill Dickin- on and Chet Dickinson, arrived rom Ash Fork at this time. Murray and Mahoney, fearing ] trap, went carefully into the louse. Finding Windle helpless md evidently dying, they asked jim to make statement. This vas what he said: 'I didn't kill he officers, but 1 was in the car. d sooner kill myself than go ack to Los Angeles.

 But the police say that dair- 7 little time piece dainty nee but now a tumble of brok- n parts taken in a hold D in which they believe the ang was implicated.

Frenchman Says Bravery of
Gal Tribes Was InstiIIed
by Priests.

|. Druid priests who in the olden days
carried out mystic rites by slaughter.
Ing their devotees aud burning them
on affairs erected in the heart of some
primeval forest have been misunder.
stood. Instead Of controlling merely
the religious life Of their followers
they were responsible for the fighting
qualities Of the early tribes of Gaul
and later spread their influence to
Greece, where Druid training devel-
Oped the martial spirit of the Spar
tan soldiers.
This is the conclusion reached by M.
Solomon Reinach, who In an exhaust
I've communication presented to the
French Academy Of Inscriptions gives
the result Of several years delving
into the folklore OF Greece and the
country that today Is France. 1t was
only recently that NJ. Reinach discov-
cred manuscript written by Greek
historian born in Sparta, revealing
that the Spartans had modelled their
military training on the system In
vogue among the tribes of Iberia, To-
Gated somewhere between Egypt and
the Indies, and which had been visit
ed by an imaginary tourist known as
Lycurgus.
The latter's description of the cOun-
try convinceS NJ. Reinach that the e3-
plorer must have landed on the south
ern coast of France. and that the
Iberia of which he wrote was not the
Spanish Iberia which later adventur-
crS described as a land lacking mar
tial feelings but filed with drinkers
and highway robbers.
According to III. Reinach's ancient
informer, Lycurgus visited the Druid
priests in their mountain caves and
forest haunts and found them busy
training the natives Of Gaul to pre-
serve their country against its enc
mics, teaching children to perform
their tasks and later instructing them
in the arts and sciences of their time.
Lycurgus apparently received some
good tips from the forest priests Of
his Iberian Gaul, for it was some years
after his return to Greece that the
valor of the Spartan youths first be-
gan to make its appearance.

At Harding's Request Plans
For Parade And Ball
Are Abandoned.
Are Abandoned.

Washington, Jan. 11.-While there
was wailing uptown among modistes,
manicurists, merchants, hotelkeepers

crowds, the joint Congressional COM
mittee in charge of the Harding in

at his word and decided on a cere-
mony of extreme simplicity in the
chamber of the Senate of the United
States.
There will be no ceremony on the
eastern portico of the Capitol, no pa
rade and no inaugural ball. The
President and Vice President-elect
will merely take the oath of office in
the small chamber OF the upper
branch of Congress and 60 to work.
The telegram that Senator i. c.
Knox, chairman Of the joint inaugu-
raj committee, sent to Mr.. Hardin &
today is as follows:
1.-THE joint committee on inaugu-
ration has received your telegram,
transmitted through me as chairman,
dated January 10. 1921, indicating
your desire for extreme simplicity in
the inaugural ceremonies on March
4 next and that the same shall bc
conducted practically without ex-
pense. The committee has consider
ed your suggestion in the spirit in
which it was made and decided, sub
ject to your approval, >that the inau-
gural ceremonies shall take place in
the Senate chamber, which involves
no disturbance of the arrangement
incident to the Inauguration of the
Nice-President and involves no ex-
pence, except such incidental expense
for police as the circumstances may
require"
Uptown the citizens inaugural
committee, headed by Edward B..
Mclean, the millionaire publisher,
met and adjourned subject to the
call of the chairman" after agreeing
to carry out the mandate of the Pres
ident-elect and to call off the parade
and inaugural ball.
President Harding will be inaugu-
rated just as was President Taft in
1909. The Taft inaugural was driven
indoors by a blizzard that ragged dur
ing the night of March 3 and the
morning of March 4. There was a
parade, however, down snow covered
Pennsylvania avenue after the Taft
