In order to pick up distant sta

HISTORIC OFFICE
TO BE RESTORED
IN SOUTHERN TOWN

The famous old adobe building.
which in the early days of Tomb
stone housed the Wells-Fargo ex-
press office next to the Modoc stage
office on Fremont street, diagonal
Iy across the street from the Tomb
stone Epitaph office, is being re-
stored to its original appearance
by J. A. Iyey, owner of Ivey's
campground, and the building will
be used as a cottage for tourists,
who now stop over in Tombstone
to spend the night and see the his
torical sights Of interest.
In decay for over a quarter Of
a century the old building, size
2Ox20, which was used as the Of
fee Of the Wells-Fargo express,
and which many times was the
scene of exciting episodes, is being
rebuilt out of adobe just as it was
in 1880 and several years later be-
fore the stage line was abandoned,
causing the express company to
move to other quarters.
The walls are of double thick
adobe, no doubt to ward off stray
bullets of contending factions, and
that it was well planned is sus-
tanned by stories old-timers tell,
who say that had it not been for
the thick walls both stage line and
express company employees would
have suffered casualties during the
bombardment which occurred in
the famous ClantOn-McLoWery fued. |
One travelling man, who has been
coming to Tombstone for over 40
years, recently told Mayor o. Glib
son that his first impression of
Tombstone was gained when he
drove up on the old Concord stage |
in front of the Wells-Fargo office |
and saw three corpses, the result of
the duel, stretched out in the
streets in front of the office.
''If tourists from the east, who |
stop in Tombstone and occupy the
now innocent looking cottage only
knew what center of interest that
building had been in Tombstone's
wild and woody days" one old-tim
er said in speaking of the building
and it's regeneration, sit would

connected to the set in such way
that the current lighted the tubes.
I explained the connections were
so arranged that when he plugged
in the ioud-speaker wires the cir
cult to the tubes for the lighting
filamer5s was automatically closed.
Since this was the first operation
in preparing to tune in he agreed
it was logical to name the current
source for this circuit the 'A' bat
terry.
Smith frightened at the simplic-
ity of it all and followed closely
through the explanation of the diff
ference between dry cells for ga"
battery current and storage battery
The former, [ told him, required
smaller tubes which used less cur
rent, this arrangement being pre-
ferred by those who desire pOrta-
bility. The latter obviated the fre-
quent replacement of cells and. to-
gether with a charger, provided for
a small power plant which could
be kept up to top efficiency at all
times.
''Now for the B battery" I went
on. "This provides for the current
on the plates of the tubes For a
multitude set like this, $it is neces-
sary to have a current of 80 volts
for this purpose. This can be sup
piled either by four 221a volt or

Bargain Days in Court
est. Paul Daily News


There is something rather disturbing about the
so-caed bargain day practice of awarding lighter
sentences to booteggers who agree to plead guilty
in the federal district court.
Not only does it tend to make light of law VIC
lation which should be punished with increasing
severity if its enforcement is be made effec-
tive but it leaves doubt in the mind of the
ordinary to the wisdom Of administering JUS
tce in this way.
No doubt the court facing the crowded docket
congested with resulting from the violation of
the prohibition act is anxious to dispose of what
must be petty business in order that time may be
secured to consider the more important and more
difficult cases.
Nevertheless the presumption is that the court is
established to determine the facts in given case
to act with absolute impartiaity--not to seek in
any way to influence the litigants-and finally to
pass sentence in accordance with the seriousness of
the offense and without regard defendants will
ngness to forego trial and save time by pleading
guilty.
Bargain days" are something rather out of accord
with the best traditions and dignity of law and
justice.

jamestown College
Opens Debate Year

The debate season at Jamestown
College was opened Tuesday night
by contest between the two mems
literary societies, Adelphi and Sigma
Tau. They debated the Child Labor
question. which is the question for
the Interstate debates. The repre-
sentatives Of the Adephi Society were
Levi Larson, lddelsleigh, Alberta;
Craig Smith, Antler; Arthur Dahl
quist, Nelson. They upheld the af-
firmative. Those speaking for the
Sigma Taus were Carl Raugust, Har-
vey; Berlin Day, and August Orr,
jamestown.
The Oxford plan Of decision by the
audience was combined with the
three Judge system, and the affirma-
tive was awarded first place both by
the audience and the judges. The
negative received the vote Of one
judge and 40 per cent of the audi
ence. This debate is preliminary to
the try-outs for places on the inter-
state team, which will be held later.
A similar mode of procedure will be
followed by the young women in prep
aration for their Intercollegiate de-
