ESCAPED CONNECTS ARE RE-
 CAPTURED-DID NOT RESIST

Three convicts who escaped from the state penitentiary at Florence on Wednesday night were recaptured early Saturday morning between Mesa and Gilbert. They offered no resist ance to the posse, which was com manded by Captain Thomas Rynning, superintendent of the state prison. Ac- cording to Phoenix police officials, one of the escaped convicts, Maurice w. Nichols, drove into Phoenix in a small automobile Thursday and within a short time vanished again. It was believed probable that Nichols pro cured arms and ammunition here and then went back to join his two com panions. The other two convicts are Jack Langdon, alias Joyce.

BAG THREE LION CUBS;
 GLIMPSE LION-BEAR PALS

Three baby mountain lions, about IA days old, tame, soft little things, but built to grow up into killers like their parents, today are all that Is left of happy family tracked to it's lair in the Sycamore district, beyond Mayer, yesterday.
 Two more lions added to the count of Ramsey Patterson, former govern ment hunter, and one bear carrying the bullets from his shotgun, also tell part of khe story of the hunting trip taken last week by Patterson, D. A. Gilchrist, in charge of the rodent control for the U. S. biological sur vey in this state, and L. l.. Laythe, his assistant.
 Leaving Prescott last Tuesday, the hunting party went to the Double T ranch of Ben J. Stewart and from there hunted in the Pine mountain country. Early yesterday they came on the tracks of bear and lion, evidently denning together, and show ing signs of "palling" around togeth- CT, according to Patterson. The hunters followed them for half a day, finally coming upon the two animals. Patterson took half his dogs and started after the bear, which left the lion and started up the noun tain. Patterson shot the animal, he says, but his dogs were worn out and were unable to track him very far. He had been feeding in the apple or chard on the Morris ranch and was seen about half mile from the ranch house.
 Giving up the bear, Patterson turn ed and joined Gilchrist and Laythe, who, with the rest of the pack, were following the lion.
 The animal, not so large as some previously captured, was killed with out much effort.
 A lioness then was tracked to her lair, killed and her three kittens, about. two weeks old, were brought to Prescott. The lioness, MT. Patter- son says, is an especially large an- imal.
 Ramsey Patterson plans to remain in Prescott until about the first of October, when, accompanying two par ties of hunters from the coast, he will return to the Sycamore country and make another attempt to get the bear.
 "It was big black bear," the hunt CT said, land might have been grizzly, though l am not sure of that. l should judge him to weigh from r. 900 to 1900 pounds. Maybe one of the bow and arrow hunters coming from California will be able to bring him down. ."-Prescott Courier.

NEW BRIDGE PLANNED
 AT TOPOCK, ARIZONA

Surveyors from the chief engineers office in Los Angeles are making preparations to locate a temporary bridge at Topock, Arizona, to be used for traffic while the present steel bridge across the Colorado river is being enlarged.
 The work contemplated is of gi- gantic proportions as the temporary crossing must needs be of concrete and steel. The main channel is very deep and the current strong at this point, which will greatly impede the work.
 Due to present construction of sec ond track to a point twenty-five miles west of Kingman and in anticipated construction clear into Topock it will be necessary to convert the present single span steel cantilever bridge in- to double-track structure.
 The cost of the work will be be- tween $500,000 and S1,000,000.
 L. F. Barnum, formerly train-mas- ter on the Arizona division, has charge of the preliminary survey work. He will be assisted by the To- cal division engineers office.

FELIPE GARCIA ARRESTED
 FOR KILLING HIS OWN SON

Under-Sheriff o. c. Williams, ac- companied by Assessor Wallace E. Shumway, went to St. Johns for the purpose of arresting Felipe Garcia, who killed his young son at Silver Creek some time ago, by shooting him. At the time of the tragedy, some time ago, coroner's inquest was held and the verdict brought in was that he had shot the lad accident ally, the evidence showing that to have been the case.

Their combined subsidy from the

Three-fourths of the good roads

All together, the States which
would pay only s3,0O0.000 of the
