CHICAGO. May 11.-Mrs. j. l..
Mount, frail mother of Leighton

hints her son committed suicide and
declared sh@ will fight to bring his
slayers to justice.
She branded parts Of the testimony

In denying SCOTS testimony that
she expressed fear Leighton ran
away or took his own life, Mrs. Scott
accused Scott of inducing her 10

HE Died Fighting
MY boy was killed by hazers. He

Mrs. Mount has been near col
lapsed since the skeleton identified
as that of her son was found in a
Lake Michigan pier, where, the
Mounts charge, it was placed by
hazers some time following the 1921
class rush. She nervously wept as
she read Scott's testimony.
The mother said soon after Leigh

called her up and told her he had
expelled fifteen students, but asked her
to keep this quiet so they could enter
other institutions.

They told me my boy would re-
turn. That's why I kept quiet. Now
I am through keeping quiet. I de-

Aligned with Mrs. Mount in her
fight today was Miss Doris Fuch, the
youths sweetheart, to which the
mother was reported to have objected.

held that Leighton killed himself and
I am confident now he was killed by

ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO
GET FUNDS FROM FORESTS

Arizona has received $154, ,577. 10
and New Mexico $46,144.55 from the
United States Department of Agri-
as their share of the receipts from
national forest resources during the
fiscal year 1928, according to an an
nouncement by the department.
Word to this effect has been sent
to Governor Hunt of Arizona and Gov
ernor Hinkle of New Mexico. Arizona
contains ten national forests embrac-
ing Il, ,204, ,304 acres, and New Mexico
contains seven, embracing 8,535,9S4
acres.
One-fourth of the moneys received
by the department from timber sales,
grazing permits, and other uses OF
national forest lands is turned over
to the states in which such lands are
located on a pro rata basis in accord
ance with an act of Congress. Such
sums are for the school and road
funds of the counties containing these
lands.
The total sum turned over to all
states containing national forests dur
ing the fiscal year 1928 amounted to
81, ,321 ,422. Twenty-seven states and
Alaska shared in the distribution OF
this sum, which exceeded the annual
average for the previous five years by
about $250,000. Increased sales OF
timber were largely responsible for
the record-breaking receipts OF 1873.

paved roads out of the state or into
the state; whether the main amount
Of the bond issue would be spent
where there were the most votes or
where there was the most need of
paved roads.
Our only object is in pointing out
many of the questions that naturally
come up if the legislature puts the
big bond issue before the people of
the state; whether the people will be
willing to vote an amendment to the
constitution of the state in order that
the state may bond itself for that
many millions. The present c0nstitu-
tion of the state does not permit of
such bond issue.
Maricopa county has alreadv bond
ed itself for nearly nine millions of
dollars to pave roads in that county.
Whether or not they goc the worth OF
their money for the present day gem
Grafton has been and is still being dis
cussed. We are inclined to believe
that some of the present and some OF
the future generations will realize a
big profit on the expenditure. If
Maricopa county has secured all the
paved roads it needs, and the roads
lead out to other fields, we can see no
reason why Maricopa county should
not want TO tie in other counties on q
bond issue and thus get the necessary
help to paved road TO Los Angeles.

The American Legion, including the
John Iyens Post No. AZ, does not play
secret diplomacy stuff and when the
John Ivens post resolved that high
wav should be constructed to the
Grand Canyon of Arizona, it did so
with only the idea in mind that such
a highway should be over the best
route possible to serve the greatest
number with the greatest good.
If it is determined, or has been de-
termined, by engineers that the Maine
Grand Canyon route is the best route,
then the John Ivens post is for that
route over which to construct the
Presidents highway to the Grand
Canyon of Arizona.
This post has absolutely no reason
or purpose in favoring any route but
the one determined as the best. 1t IS,
however, absolutely opposed to any
appropriation not sufficiently large to
construct a worthy and proper high
way to the Grand Canyon of Arizona
in the Grand Canyon National park.
We are all aware, with sufficient
evidence about US, that haphazard
/ road construction does not pay and
/ the expenditure of any money on .
I highway to the Grand Canyon, insult
/ ficient to construct q. complete and
proper one, would be wasted.
The endorsements to the resolution
1 of the John Ivens post from all parts
/ of the state evidence the fact of the
/ realization that the tourist travel to
the Grand Canyon of Arizona is an
asset to the state.
The Grand Canyon of Arizona is a
logical distributing point from which
to have autoists investigate the many
advantages and points Of interest in
the state of Arizona.
AS this is written it has been called
to our attention that appearing in the
Arizona Republican under date OF DC
tober 5 is, ''It is proposed the cham
ber directors be informed, that the
road start from the Old Trails high
way, probably at Davenport or WI
liams."
This is in an article under the cap
/ ton, Presidents Highway to Canyon
from National Old Trails Road En-
dorsed by Chamber Directors. There
has never been any authorized sug-
| gestion by the John Ivens Post No.
az, or any suggestion whatsoever, IN
regard to at what point the proposed
highway should begin.
AS the Grand Canyon of Arizona in
the Grand Canyon National park-the
greatest scenic wonder in the world
| IS of national and state interest, the
Presidents Highway should be con-
structed at the earliest possible time,
and why not?
Yours very truly,

age in city water and the negotiations
now being made with the Santa re
railroad company to work out ba-
sis for cooperation in enlarglng our
water system. He said city council
had for some time been urging the
railroad people to get busy, warning
them that our supply is inadequate IN
spite of which they seemed to get sore
when their daily use of water recently
had to be cut down. He believed the
council will soon hear from Superln-
tendent Etter in reply to the modified
proposition sent the company Tues
day morning by city council, and that
a satisfactory agreement Tor co-opera-
tive development Of the water system
will soon be worked out.
j. G. Brown asserted that on many
nights the Santa Fe water tank near
the depot runs over all night, wasting
a great deal of water. He believed
the railroad employees should prevent
this waste. Mr.. Koch said he agreed
with that and felt that the employees
If they don't cooperate with the rail-
road company, should at least cooper
ate with the city in which they live
and do their duty in preventing the
waste of so much water. Mr. Cam
eron said complaints about the mat
ter had been unavailing. The railroad
company had been asked to put IN an
automatic cutoff and had refused.

member contribute rs cents toward

MANY SNAKES CAN
EASILY WHIP RATHER

Kid Rather isn't in the same class
with Battling King, Red Racer,
Knockout Bull or any of the other
topnotchers when it comes to a bat
tie. If you don't believe it, ask M.
E. Musgrave, predatory animal in
spector of the IT. S. biological sur
vey, who has headquarters in Phoe-
nix.
Mr.. Musgrave has had considerable
experience with snakes-has made
their observation something of hob
by. And although he has seen rattle
snakes matched with bull snakes, king
snakes, red racers, black snakes and
many other reptiles of similar species,
he has never seen the much-feared
rattler victorious.
His observation has convinced him
that rattler is regarded by other
snakes, particularly the king, black
and bull snakes, in somewhat the
light in which human "snake" is
regarded by humanity as a whole.
Mr.. Musgraye hands it to the rat
tier for having nerve. He'll stand up
and fight, with never thought of
turning tail, regardless of the odds.
But he invariably loses. He hasn't
The science.
1t is an interesting sight, Mr.. Mus
grave says, when rattIer and, say
a king snake, meet. The sight of 3
rattler is enough to send king nlto
a paroxyni of anger,
The instant the snakes catch sight
of each other they prepare for battle.
The rattler apparently knows there is
no use in running from the speedief
opponent, SO he coils, and with head
erect, watches. The king snake starts
encircling the rattier
Then, too quick for the eye to
grasp the king Is upon the rattler,
and his twisted body is about that
of the doomed reptile. Held in the
grasp, the rattler strikes at the king,
but his venom has no effect. While
the rattler is striking, the king is
drawing his body tighter, first loos-
ening bit, then clamping back to a
tighter hold.
The battle is over In few minutes,
the rattlesnake literally cholsed to
death. The victor then proceeds to
swallow the vanquished- One Of the
experiences related by Mr.. Musgrave
is that of finding large black snake
which had swallowed all but the tail
and rattlers of a rattlesnake it had
killed. W

it was the hide of the buck they had
helped him truck back to his home
after he shot it. The other witnesses

Of the animal along to further sub
stantiate their claim that it was a
buck. The jury declared Kirby not
guilty.
The humorous part of the affair
came out after the verdict had been
rendered. Then Mr. Lewis, who had
drawn up the complaint at the request
of the deputy warden because
County Attorney Frank Harrison
was out of town and could not be
here to handle the case, himself pros
ecuted it in full conventional style.
Mr.. Lewis told the jury that prosecut--
ing that case was the hardest and
most painful thing he ever had to do
because; he was in Government Prai-
rie, a guest at the Kirby ranch, the
morning the buck was killed and help
ed bring III to the ranch.
1t was case of good sportsman
ship all through the trial. Neither the
defendant nor his witnesses intimated
to their attorney or anyone else that
Mr.. Lewis was qualified to be q wit
ness for the defense. And he, though
much disturbed, did his sworn duty to
the utmost. Mr.. Gold and the justice
and juryfnen were astonished when he
made his announcement.
Mr.. Lewis said that his hands had
been tied, because while he knew that
the head and antlers produced in evi-
dence were those Of the buck he had
helped carry IN, he couldn't swear that
the hide, which had been separated
from the head, was the same as that
animal wore. He felt his duty was to
prosecute, just the, ssme as il he had
no previous knowledge of the case.
He believed plaintiff innocent Of kill
ing female deer, but had to let that
be proven by the evidence.
