'It looks as If the State is accu-
mulating a real surplus" declared
Governor Ralph o. Brewster, Mon
day, calling attention to the condi-
ton of the States finances at this
time as compared with that of year
ago.
Governor Brewster asserted that
whereas the States funds year ago
about this time were $350,OOO short
Of covering the reserves. the funds
now are ahead of the cash to cover
the reserves by a considerable sum-
the amount of which will be an
nounced little later.
This improvement in the condl.
ton of the States finances Is que,
the governor pointed out, to the fact
that there has been practically no
drawing on the contingent fund ana
the funds have been carefully hus-
banded-in other words, extreme
care has been taken in making APP
propriations.
There has been a steady surplus
of cash accommodating and on De-
cember ] the State tax from the
cities and towns, amounting to ap-
proximately $5,000.0O0, was received.
Governor Brewster yesterday sign
ed a warrant which is believed to be
the largest in the history of the
State, the total being $3,747, 946.67. A
large proportion of this amount goes
back to the cities and towns for

FOUR CHILDREN BITTEN BY
STRAY CAT WITH RABIES

Miami-Four young Mexican chill
dren are under treatment by City Ply
sician DR.. G. e. Irwin for rabies. as the
result Of having been bitten the eve
ming of August 21, by stray feline.
The cat was not brought to DR.. Ir-
vim, nor the matter reported, until A
D. M, August "a, two days after the
children had been bitten. The animal
was slain and it's head forwarded on
the O'Clock sage to the state patho-
logical laboratory at Phoenix, for ex-
animation. At p. m. the following
day, a wire report from the laboratory
was received stating that the cat was
infected with rabies.
The children who at first reported
the matter told of another boy who
had been bitten, and he was located.
The cat had bitten this lad on the
cheek.
DR.. Irwin stated today that all the
children are receiving regular treat
ment, and that no serious complica-
tions are anticipated.

TWO WIVES DEAD, THIRD
HOLDS Him FOR BIGAMY |

Forrest Fielder, district attorney
for the sixth judicial district of New
Mexico. Atty. Alvan n White and
Deputy Sheriff G. B. Morrill, of Grant
county, New Mexico were at Globe on
the first stage of their return to Sill
yer City with d. C. Whitlock, alias
L. C. Freeman, for whom they secured
eXtradition papers from Governor
of bigamy. Whitlock was held in the
Gila county Jail for safe keeping.
An astounding case of duplicity on
the part of Whitlock, or Freeman as
he was known in New Mexico, is al
legged by the men who are conducting
him to Silver City.
An unusual feature lies in the fact
that the mans first wife is dead, as
is also the young lady with whom he
is alleged to have contracted biga-
nous marriage, and the prisoner has
Q third wife whom he married "A days
after the alleged bigamous wife died,
leaving a child born out of lawful we'd
lock- Another feature lies in the fact
that Whitlock, who fled from New
Mexico, leaving the child behind, was
arrested at Phoenix on a warrant from
Bisbee, charging him with non-sup-
port of two minor children by his first
wife.
The first wife of Whitlock, who
was a daughter of H. Fl. Dindsey, for
mer city marshal at Tempe, died in
June, 1924 when Whitlock, posing as
Freeman had married Miss Beatrice
Brock of Hurley, n NJ, who died in
February of this year.
Atty. Alvan N. White made the trip
to Arizona as a special prosecutor on
behalf of the Brock family to assist
District Attorney Fielder in handling
the case.
1t is stated that Whitlock attempted
to fight extradition on the ground that
if he were returned to New Mexico and
sent to prison he could not provide for
the children of his legitimate, and al
legged bigamous wives. The plea is re-
ported to have received scant consid-
GRAFTON from the governor who re-
torted that the man had never sup
ported them and had shown no dispo-
sition that way.

ARMY OF BATS TAKE UP THEIR
HOME IN SNOWFLAKE HOUSE

Headquarters of the greatest army
of bug catchers in the town has been
located. Each night from a crevice
between the brick walls and the lum-
Der roof of the Snowflake stake house
issues thousands of the bug destroying
bats In this nook most Of the bats
Of Snowflake dwell, and according to
old citizens, this has been their home
for several years.
From sundown until early morning
these queer winged little animals take
their huge toll of insect life, working
for the most part around the city
street lights and in the gardens and
fields, devouring millions of bugs and
insects each night. This army Of bats
together with their near cousins, the
birds, are a huge asset to the COM
munity in keeping down the number
of insect pests. In the southern states,
communities build special homes for
bats, being the principal weapon used
against the dreaded mosquito.- Snow

ing several federal judicial districts
