LAWLER
 GIVEN DIVORCE
Cross Complaint Charging Cruel ty Upheld After Hearing on Case Filed by Wife Who Ac- cused Him of Desertion

William J. Lawler yesterday was granted divorce from his wife on a cross-complaint charging cruelty and desertion. The original complaint by Mrs. Lawler, accused the husband of failing to provide.
 How he had sacrificed everything to the whirns of his wife, giving her q new home only to have it spurned for an apartment, while she collect ed SIPS a month rent for the place, and how later, when he was i'll of pneumonia, his wife went to Cali fornia, indicating she was tired of being his wife, were recited in the course of the hearing yesterday in superior court, when NIT. Lawler was graLted his decree. The plaintiff was not present.
 Attorneys for the defendant brought out evidence tending to show that the marriage had never been happy since the wife suddenly de cided she was tired of It" and had made life miserable for her husband. Mrs. Lawler's original complaint al- legged that she was able to earn but SIG a week, not enough to support the young child, who was in poor health. The cross-complaint sets this fact up as evidence of Mrs. Lawler's unfitness to be custodian of the young daughter, but when the case came on for trial, it had been ,stipu- lated that custody of the baby should be given to the mother.

CFrom Thursdays DaiIy)

The new retaining wall at Mayer was saved from possible destruction yesterday morning, when residents of that place went out and removed all but three sections of the forms, ac- cording to telephonic advic1s to the Journal-Miner from Mayer last night.
 Though the waters around Mayer had not risen greatly during the pre- ccding 12 hours, it was feared yes terday morning that further rainfall and continued melting of snow from the Bradshaws might swell the Big Bug, thus causing the retaining wall, which had not yet set, to be washed out

 RESETS TRAVELLERS
CFrom Friaav.s Dallyl

Travel under difficulties was en- countered by two travelling men at tempting to make their way from Phoenix to Prescott yesterday and Wednesday. Their trip was a wet one, for in addition to absorbing much of the surrounding rain, they came into intimate contact with a number of Yavapai watercourses.
 Leaving Phoenix Wednesday, the travelling men made fairly good time, considering conditions, to Wicken- burg, and from there managed to reach Congress Junction without further mishap than ordinarily occurs to an automobile ploughing its way through tons of mud.
 Beyond Congress Junction, how ever, the intrepid explorers of the Yavspai adobe attempted to run their car over the raging torrents of Date creek, and were promptly if not lit orally swallowed up. Stuck in that stream, they were compelled to seek help and were hauled out.

Your next package of Humps" or other cigarettes may contain print ed warning 10 you not to risk caus- ing forest fires by throwing away the lighted cigarette-end, if action by several organizations, including the United States forest service, has it's effect on cigarette manufacturers. according to report from the southwestern district forester at Al tuquerque, received here yesterday.
 A large per cent of forest fires in the United States are caused, 1t IS said, by carelessness of campers and other users of the national forests. Eighty-five per cent of such fires in the United States and Canada, and a very considerable part of the annual $l9,000,000 loss is caused by careless smokers, says the Fire Marshals' As sociation of North America, in a resolution calling upon the nanufac- turers and packers of tobacco ito provide and enclose with their pro- duct, fire hazard warnings be- cause the hazard of fire is inseparable from the use of smoking tobacco"
 The national forest service, the re- cent convention of the International Association of Fire Engineers, and the Railway Fire Protection associa- ton, have all taken similar action.

Maintenance of a forest experiment station in Arizona may come as a result of endorsement by the Ari- zona Forestry association in its an- nual mid-winter meeting at Tucson recently, of the Ashurst bill appro- priating $300G0 for that purpose.

POLITICS BEGINS HUMM|NC; MANY
 ARE ASPIRING
Sheriff's Office Center of Contest , That Will Wax Warm, Accord
 ing to Party Meteorologists i;
 Demos Have Four for It
And the fight is on.

Anu tne llSht IS on.
 Issues within the once dominant democratic party have been formed maybe-and some of the candidates who are going to brave the storm at the next primary are out in the open. At least their friends are hauling them forth in the way that friends have of inducing" persons to be- come candidates.
 Scarcely ar office in the court house, but has its one or more aspir- ants, as well as its smoothly sailing incumbents. Take the sheriff's office, for instance
 Warren Davis has not said he will and has not said he will not But there are enough democrats who are eyeing the place There is Justice of the Peace McLane, an avowed candidate. There is Doc Cecil w. Pardee, terror of the bronks and one oQe of the most sensational guys who ever hurled a leg over a cayuse Not the least nor last is (. (. Stukey, now a member of the board of super visors, one of the hardest workers for good roads, an incessant hustler for improvement, who with Chair man Midgley has borne the brunt of the work Of the office during the vacancy" before MT. Colwell was named. Stukey, who led his col leagues in two elections for the su- pervisoral office. is said to be a com ing candidate for sheriff, with large backing and high hopes of defeating the republican nominee, who is said to have been decided upon already by the crafty C. O. P.
 Across the hall. Recorder McSwig- gin and one of his deputies, Mrs. Grace Chapman, are said to be in the lists for the recordorial nomination.
 A candidate has been dug out of the wilds of San Diego to oppose Frank Smith. the republican treas urer, and he is said to be no other than Col E. A, Rogers, the one tried and true democrat of all democrats.
 Upstairs, Nellie C. Marshall, court reporter for division l and Paddy Keohane, former treasurer, former deputy recorder, present deputy clerk, are to contest for the nomination as candidate for the clerk of the court. Both John J. Sweeney and Richard Lamson will be candi- dates to succeed themselves as su- perior judges, with pretty good pros pect of no opposition for Judge Sweeney and absolutely none for Judge Lamson.
 J. L. Sullivan will be one of sev-' eral candidates for the nomination to succeed himself as county attorney.
 II there is a candidate for school superintendent or assessor, it has not been announced by any of the demo-
