TOMBSTONE
IN SUPREME COURT

A. A. Worsley believes that his
services in the deportation case
should be valued at more than 1915
for which reason he has appealed his
case against the supervisors OF Co
chise county to the supreme court.
Mr.. Worsley was named an assistant
county attorney to assist in the pros
ecution of the famous case and when
he pressed his claim of $500 for
services to the board is was dis
allowed.
Mr. Worsley took the matter into
court and when the court held for the
county took the matter up to the SUI
preme court, which constructed the
statutes to mean that the board of
supervisors fix the salary OF Mr..
Worsley.
Armed with this opinion and testi-
mony in regard to the value Of his
services, Mr.. Worsley asked the
board to place value on his service.
They deferred fixing compensation
until ordered by the court Holding
that the 1876 which was held rea-
sonable compensation, is inadequate,
Worsley again has the case in court.

LACK OF LICENSE
MEANS JAIL RISK

Beginning this morning, Sheriff
John Montgomery announced yes
terday, his deputies will start arrest
ing all drivers of automobiles which
do not bear a 1922 license plate. This
step is made necessary, the sheriff
said, because of the slowness. of au-
tomobile owners in securing their
1922 plates. Under the state law. all
owners of cars must secure new
plates at once after the first OF the
year. So far less than 5000 license
plates have been issued by the
county assessor out out OF an esti-
mated number of $4,000 for the
county.
Several warnings have been issued,
the sheriff said, notifying autoists to
secure new license numbers but
these. have not been needed and the
order to arrest all drivers of cars not
displaying a 1922 license became nee
essaIy to speed up the securing of
the plates. The same order, the
sheriff stated, will apply TO cars
bearing foreign licenses unless the
driver or owner of the car can show
he has made application for a license
in the state from which his car came.
The sheriff's office is registering only
those cars with 1922 foreign licenses,
the registration being good only for
three months.
According to information received
In the sheriffs office, several auto
mobile owners in making application
for 1922 license IN the assessors
office, have given a fictitious engine
or motor number because they were
either too lazy to go to their car and
get the correct. number or did not
want to scrape the grease off the
motor to find It, and therefore gave
some other number.

Billy Whiskers
By Frances rrego Montsomery-


 When asked about the cat. Jim an- swered:
 'tOh, got him down near the equa- tor in big forest filled with monkeys He was trying to hang on limb oy his tail. like the monkeys do ouI' of course, though his tail was as long as theirs and he could easliy twist it around the limb as they do' he hadn't been born to hang from limbs so his tail would not stay curled around the limb, but let him fall. The fall stunned him, and | saw my chance as he lay there, so l slipped up and put him in my hunting bag and carried him back to the ship ana brought him home with me. He has the largest eyes l ever saw in any cat"
 NOW you have told us where you got all but the dog, and I want to know where he came from" said little boy.
 The dog has peculiar history. rescued him from a Chinaman just as he was going to drop him in a kettle of boilin oil to cook for his supper The little fellow was so thankful ana stuck to me so close that I've kept him ever since, and I must say l never knew smarter dog than he is''
 There is no knowing how long Jim ! l Bettina began to heehaw in such l peculiar manner that it sounded as if l she was laughing at him. The farm 1 CT remarked about it, and when he l did so, Billy, as if appreciating the ! joke, joined in with his baa, and Stubby parked and Button added a l prolonged ye-awl. Everybody laughed. 1 which made Jim feel cheap and un- l comfortable and caused him to say ] that he thought they had better be 1 moving along.
 l we have appreciated your stories very much, and for the pleasure your l performing animals have given us I 1 will present each of you with a | suit of my old clothes and fit you 1 out in hats and shoes and besides I l am going to give you $5 as a little 1 pin money.
 l The kidnapers thanked the farmer 1 again and again for his generosity 1 and said they would give him a per 1 forrnance free if ever they came l back that way.
 1 For weeks they travelled all over l the country in this way, but getting 1 farther away from Bi1ly's home and 1 Nannie And though Billy asked l every crow he saw if they knew in l which direction the Watson farm was, he never happened to speak to one who had ever. heard of the place.
 Billy was getting discouraged, be-
 sides tired to death with performing 1 twice. and sometimes three times a
 day So were Bettina, stubby and
 Button and they were growing thin with the constant work.

SCORE OF PEOPLE NARROWLY
ESCAPE INJURY IN
MISHAP
coIered Man Has Hat Knocked Off
Others Escape With Bad Scare

A score Of persons narrowly escap-
ed injury and possible death last eve
ming about $3.50 o'clock when the tenn
porary scaffold erected by the work
men working on the new Labor
lomple front fell in the Fifteenth
Ctreet alley where hundreds OF per-
sons pass each hour Of the day.
Although there were good many
people under the scaffold at the time
all escaped injury. One colored man,
who had his hat knocked off by the
falling Of debris made hasty exit
from the alley to freedom. His name
could not be learned. So far as could
be learned last night he was the only
pedestrian struck by the debris when
the scaffold let go.
The workmen in the past few days
have been bricking in the windows
on the alley side Of the building and
have been using the scaffold to catch
all the pieces Of brick and those not
yet installed in the building AT the
time OF the cavein a large quantity
Of brick fell with the scaffold. II Is
supposed that the weight OF the orick
was too heavy for the wood and so
last evening It let go.
A large crowd gathered in the alley
a few minutes after the accident but
disappeared shortly after it was as
certained there was no one injured.
The alley was blocked at each end by
boards to keep traffic from passing
through as there was still a pile OF
brick on the part OF the scaffold
which did not fall.
