MEN CAUGHT IN BIG BOOZE
RAID FREED ON BOND

Forest Patterson and his brother
in-law, Dewey Croxdale, who were ar.
rested when cache of liquor, said to
be the largest ever confiscated in this
state, was seized by Sheriff We'll Of
Yavapai county, were released on bond
of $3.50 each, put up by their friends.
The liquor, alleged to be worth
more than $4,000, was in 80 one-gallon
kegs and IL ten-gallon kegs. 1t took
two trips by truck to bring it to the
sheriff's office. The booze, which
shows high alcoholic content, had
been taken from the still, where ii
was manufactured within a mile Of
the Williamson Valley road Heavy
wagon tracks, cutting into the brush
from the road, gave the sheriff the
clue which he followed and which
ended in the arrest of the pair and
the confiscation of the wholesale sup
ply of liquor. Forest Patterson is a
brother of Ramsey Patterson, noted
lion hunter.

FORMER APPELLATE JUSTICES
TRY THE FLAGSTAFF LAWSUIT

Two former supreme court justices.
E. j. Flanagan and Frank H. Lyman
opposed one another in an argument
over a demurrer in superior court at
Prescott last week. The case was
that of James L. Fry against the city
of Flagstaff to recover damages for
the death of his small son in pool
accident in the park of the city.
Judge Flanagan represents the
plaintiff and the town is represented
by Judge Lyman and Judge Perkins.
The case has been given to Judge
Sweeney to try in the disqualification
of Judge Jones of Coconino county
and the hearing on the demurrer was
held in Prescott rather than in F.ag-
staff as this necessitates minimum
of travel by the judge and attorneys.
The trial, in the event ruling on the
demurrer results in that action, viii
be he'd at Flagstaff where the wit
nesses all live.

ployes of the field service at the In
dian bureau, including one or more in
nearly every Indian agency and reser-
walton will lose their jobs on July /,

NEWS GENERAL
STRUCKMEYER WILL
DO CODE REVISION

In order that he may give his UNI
divided attention to the work of code
revision Judge Fred C. Struckmeyer,
appointed code commissioner by Gov
ernor Hunt has left for San Fran
cisco.
Away from all Interruptions, he
will devote his entire time and at
tention to the revision work, Judge
Struckmeyer said, availing himself
of the library facilities of Bancroft
Whitney, law book publishers.
Judge Struckmeyer was accom-
panied by Matt S. Walton who has
been named assistant. Mr.. Walton is
a we'll known Phoenix attorney who
according to Judge Struckmeyer has
made an extensive study of Arizona
statutory laws for the last two years.
No clerical assistants will be ap-
pointed at this time, it was announced,
as the present work will be confined
to editing and the preparation of
manuscripts.
Judge Struckmeyer stated that he
had turned down number of cases
that might have kept him engaged in
lawpractice for the next year, in or
der to devote full time to the revision
work
The last revision of the code. was in
1913. Since then hundreds of laws
have been passed which are in con-
.flict with the original statutes, thus
tending to complicate matters in look
ing up any particular point.
To remedy this situation, the legis-
lature determined upon a recodifica-
ton of the statutes, eliminating all
dead matter, and grouping the laws
pertaining to every subject. A bill
was passed appropriating $4,000 for
this purpose, and the governor was
authorized to name code commits
sioner to handle the work.

MIAMI EXCITED OVER
BOTTLE OLD WHISKEY

Considerable hot air is loosed dur
ing these more or less arid days,
liquorially speaking, concerning the
"real stuff"
There is bottle of "real stuff" in
Miami, Sin reach of everyone"
Now, prohi officers, and those with
an unquenchable thirst, do not get ex-
cited.
And the bottle isn't for sale, either.
Nor will it ever be humiliated by be-
ing placed on the low level of COM
mercial barter
It's a real bottle of Old Taylor
whiskey. 1t has been in the bottle for
more than II years, and was about
that old, aged in wood, before it was
bottled
Try to whistle, now.
Yep, it's dry country, but when
ever fellow can openly boast that he
has a bottle of the real stuff, and fur
ther tantalize his fellow citizens by
telling 'em that "it is within reach
of all,' he may be voted by many as
/ the towns "meanest man."
But he isn't. In fact, the proud
owner of the coveted nectar is a
pretty good guy as the sidewalk
blockers have it.
i Don't become impatient. 1t won't
! be long now as Francis Gilbert would
remark. You'll learn where the bot
| tie is, but, as Rube Goldberg would
say, sit doesn't mean anything"
| You perhaps can get within two or
three inches of the bottle but chances
are that you won't know it. And the
chances are 1000 to that you won't.
For there's only one man in this
mining village who knows just where
/ that bottle of Old Taylor is-and he's
not telling, although its possession is
in nowise unlawful Chances are that
the bottle will never be opened-and
never is a long, long time.
After the next paragraph is read,
chances are that you will be among
the scores who'll rush to the nearest
hardware store, purchase cold chisel,
hammer, pick, or a quart of soup,
and go forth to find your parched con-
ception of the mine With the Iron
Door,"
When John Fitzpatrick was con-
structing his concrete building, corner
keystone and Gibson streets, he per-
sonally placed quart of Old Taylor
whiskey in the moulds, and personally
poured concrete over it.
That's where, and perhaps the only
place in the district, that bottle of
"real stuff" could be obtained-and it
can't.
The water used in constructing the
building cost John so cents per barrel
now that bottle of Old Taylor would
buy almost enough water, at that
price, to build the Washington monu-
ment.

STATE OFFICIALS DEVISE
PLAN FOR LYMAN TAXES

Tentative arrangements for the set
tlement and adjustment of the delin-
quent taxes due on lands under the
Lyman project in Apache county on
which the state has made farm loans
have been made by state officials, ac-
cording to John W. Murphy, attorney
general; Vernon S. Wright, state
treasurer, and Earl Anderson, as
sistant attorney general, who recently
visited st. Johns.
The plan for the adjustment Of de-
linquent taxes will be presented to
the state loan board for it's approval,
the official said. 1t is necessary in
order to protect the loans made by the
state on those lands on which the
taxes have become delinquent, to set
tie the taxes the officials pointed out,
so that the mortgages given the state
may be foreclosed. The tax liens on
the lands, they explained, take priority
over the other liens.
While in st. Johns, the officials also
took part in the suit brought against
the Lyman Water company to collect
$500, for which Mr.. Wright, as
treasurer, had been garnished. The
matter was adjusted and the judg-
ment in the case will be paid by the
Lyman Water company. it was stated.
At Holbrook, the officials filed a
proof of the states claim for de-
posits in the defunct Bank of Wins
low with the superior court and sub
mitted the matter to the Judge of the
court for determination.
The officials also interpleaded at
Holbrook claim made by two men
upon the state for $500. The matter
will be taken into court through the
interpleading, it was stated, and
threshed out, to determine which one
of the two the state owes 5000. or
whether the state owes both of them
$500.

AND KILLED BY FRIEND

by the discharge of a .38 calibre re-
voIver in the hands Of his cousin, Ado

play and pulled the trigger, shot
was fired. Judge j. Lee Loveless

tie in that district to eradicate the
cattle scabies, according to DR.. S. <.

MOUNTAIN DAMS UP
RIVER In WYOMING

A mountain of rocks, moving at an
incrediable speed, toppled into the
Gros Ventre river, in the heart of the
Teton mountains in western Wyoming.
A section of the Teton national forest
was smashed to splinters, several
herds Of cattle were swept away and
many buildings lost, the advices said.
The river has been damned by the
great heap of earth and rock and a
great lake is forming, according to
the message. In a short time, accord
ing to the dispatch, it will create a
lake seven miles long and mile wide
and probably hundreds of feet deep
because of the sharp decliyities on
either side of the stream at that
point. Shortly after the strange oc-
currence, according to the message,
which was from j. R. Jones, local
manager of a telephone company at
Jackson, Wyo., the river was 200 feet
deep at the point just above the disin-
tegrated mountain. Jones, according
to the dispatch, was informed of the
phenomena by riders in that vicinity
who raced to Jackson with the news.
