COUNTER AFFIDAVIT
 FILED IN BANK CASE

Tn answer to an affidavit filed by H. c. Sprunger, former cashier of the Central Bank of Wickenburg, several days ago with a motion to set aside an indictment returned against him by the county grand jury, on the grounds that although he appeared as a witness in the case his name was not inserted in the in- dictment as such. and that persons other than those permitted by law were present when the indictment was under consideration. George D. Christy, deputy county attorney, yes terday filed a counter-affidavit de- nying the allegations of Sprungar.
 On November 10. 1921, Christy al- leges in his affidavit. Fred J. Elliott, local attorney whom Sprunger al- leges was present with the grand jury when the indictment against him was considered, was called by the grand jury as special counsel and legal advisor to the grand jury and took the oath as special prose- cutor. Prior to the taking of the oath, Christy says, Elliott was called before the grand jury to testify but not on matters which had to do with the indictment against Sprunger. The placing of his name as q witness on the indictment against Sprunger was an error, Mir. Christy declared.
 The motion made by Sprunger 10 set aside the indictment has been taken under advisement by Judge Stanford. Sprunger is charged in the indictment with receiving de- posits in an insolvent bank while an officer >of the institution.

LEWIS ARRAIGNED
 O|V FIFTH CHARGE

Phil K. Lewis. former president of the Central Finance corporation, yesterday was arraigned before Jus ice Nat T. Mckee on a charge of obtaining money by means of false pretenses. The preliminary hearing of the case was set for 10 o'clock on the morning of January 26, 1922. Lewis was released under a bond of s1.00O. which he furnished. The bond was signed by Harry Kay and J. C. Chilson as securities.
 The complaint. which was filed against Lewis on Wednesday, charges him with securing s1O.000 from Louis J. Hart, a local attorney, in Decem- Der, 1919, after representing to him that@ten bonds of the Central Fi- nance corporation of the par value of s1,000 each were a good and safe security. The complaint alleges Lewis knew the bonds were worth less when he sold them to Hart.
 Lewis also is under four indict- ments returned by the county grand jury. Demurrers to the indictments filed by Lewis have been taken un- der advisement by Judge Stanford, who will render a decision in a few days

Arizona is in a position to accept this offer from the federal government without appropriating any more money than has already been made available by legislative action for this line of work.

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1921-06-03

The goby (of which there are many
kinds) selects the clean valve of Il
clam and uses thi, as the ready-made
nest. The pair tfor the goby mates
with but one and is jealous of any
rivaD hover round an inverted valve
and then the male scoops out the sand
from underneath 1t, forming cavity,
the shell being slightly tilted and
pressed into the sand. The female
then enters the cavity and deposits
her eggs on the lower Qnner) surface
of the shell. These eggs are some
what cigar-shaped structures. fixed at
one end by glutinous network that
secures them firmly to the shell. Hav-
ing done her work, the female then ex-
changes places with. the male, who
remains on guard keeping up a con
slant current Of water over the eggs
by movements of the pectora fins,
and darting out at the approach of an
intruder.

A fact which Is probably only slight
~ known is the immunity from the at
tacks of lightning which is afforded by
wearing a pair of rubberS.
The person who assumes these COW
eringS must be careful not to come in
contact with anything except the floor.
Providing he follows this instruction
he can not possibly be injured by the
lightning in any way.
The explanation is simple enough.
The electric fluid before it can pass in
TO human being or animal must first
come in contact with the earth. Its
passage from the earth to the wearer
of the rubbers is. of course, stopped
by the soles of the latter,
so next time storm is brewing
hurry up and get out your ruhhers.

FINEST OF EARTH'S CHURCHES
Men Of Genius Through Many Gen.
turtles Aided IN the Erection
Of St. Peters at Rome.

The history of st. Peters at Rome
edifices, goes back over thousand
years, for ii was on this spot, the site
of Nero's circus. within walls ornate
with gold and gistening with mosaic
and marble, that Charlemagne received
the crown of imperial Rome from Pope
Leo ILL.,, and here was slowly erected
throughout subsequent centuries this
building called the central cathedral
of Christendom. All that man could
do TO make st. Peters great and beau
ttful has been lavished upon that
splendid church. Nine. de Stael said
of ii, "C'est le senl travail de Fart
sur notre terre actuele qui ait lie
genre de grandeur qui characterize
les oeuvres immediates de la crea-
ton Qt is the sole work of art on
our earth which has the sort. of noble
ness that characterzes the works of
nature.) Marion Crawford puts ones
first impression of st. Peters in Il
nutshell when he says, THE first sight
of st. Peters affects one as though
in every day streets. walking among
ones fellows, one should meet with
a man forty feet nigh"
While the interior decorations have
been criticized as being too profuse
an American tourist, once referred
10 them as "too much gngerbread'-
that great roof covers the work of
some of the most renowned sculptors

pressing smile at my mother -in-law's
similar inconsistency, eagerly waited
to see how Dicky would handle the
situation.
YES. it does make a difference
when the car is standing STILL" he re-
marked without the ghost Of smile.
But why don't you get out and walk
around a bit? If I'm not mistaken.
Madge. isn't this the old farm Of which
Mrs. Ticer was telling us, the fine old
place that was SO terribly run down.
1.-The one with the wonderful apple
orchard and the lilac hedge?" queried
demurely. Yes, it is, l am quite
sure.
Come with Me-"
My mother in law cast critical
glance at the miracle of lavender
loveliness against the green branches.
Good enough" she returned CURLY.
.'Help me down. Richard. I'm going
to look over this place. Margaret, you
come with me. Richard, you come
along as soon as your garage man
reaches here"
Dicky winked encouragingly at me
as he helped me from the car after he
had seen his mother safely to the
ground. l winked back smilingly. then
dutifnlly offered my arm to Mother
Graham. She took it with less than
her usual crustiness, and / noticed
hopefully that there was a distinct
light Of interest in her eyes as she
looked over the ynarled old apple
orchard.
'This is just like my fathers apple
orchard at home" she said with 4
little unconscious sigh. ''The man who
planted this knew what he was about.
But how it has been neglected! It's
worth restoring, however. | never in
my life saw such wealth of blossoms.
I wonder how much land there is
here"
II think I heard Mrs TIGER say
something about thirty acres I haz-
arded. Have you noticed the house :?
It's horribly run down, but l imagine
it was fairly good, for that day. of
course
I made my tone as deprecatory as
possible. knowing the surest way of
rousing her ardent interest in the old
place. She is most intolerant cham
pion of the old times against the new,
