BUT NO MILK PUNCH

seized in the foothills near Bisbee, a
thoroughbred range Hereford cow,
the property of Charles Miller, local
cattleman, staggered around for sew
eral minutes and finally plunged over
a six-foot embankment to its death,
according to a story told by w. A.
Mcdonald, deputy sheriff of Cochise
county.
The story was verified by two eye
witnesses, who said they thought the
COW had eaten loco weed and had
gone mad from the effects. They
called Mcdonald to shoot the animal,
but before he arrived the COW had
plunged over the cliff breaking its
neck.
The still had been seized several
days ago while in operation, and Off
GERS dumped out the bran mash near
where it had been concealed few
yards from spring. The cow, APP
parently, had come to water and
found the mash which it devoured
with the subsequent disastrous re-
suits.

ARMED GUARDS ARE ON
DUTY AT TUCSON TRIAL

Six special guards were deputized
for duty at the trial of Thomas and
Sidney Flucher, which comes up We'd
nesday at Tucson. The Fluchers are
charged with a train robbery near
Guthrie, Ariz.
The placing of the armed guards in
the court room was ordered by U. s.
Attorney General Sargent, following
the filing of wire request from the
United States marshal, which request
was made at the joint solicitation of
the United States district attorney,
the counsel for the defense and the
court.
In asking Attorney General Sargent
at Washington for permission to pro-
vide armed deputies at the trial, it
was pointed out that two persons al
ready had been killed during the in
vestigation at Clifton and that feeling
runs high between factions interested
in the case. More than 100 witnesses
have been summoned, and these need
the protection of marshals, the re-
quest said.
1t was officially reported that one
investigator was forced to leave Cliff
ton because threats were made AGAINST
his life.
t"The situation is far more serious
than anyone realizes" he wrote, it
was stated.

YAQUI INDIANS START
ANNUAL PA ASSION DANCE

Beginning their annual dances
which viii reach the finale during the
last three days of Holy week, the
Yaqui Indians of the villages north
and south of Tucson afforded an in
teresting spectacle for large aud
ience Sunday. The ritual of the dance,
portraying in its entirety the passion
of Christ, is rigidly observed by the
Indians, many of whom do not know
the meaning of all the figures which
have been handed down to them by
tribal tradition.
The dance is a combination of an
cient tribal rites and the more mod
ern christian influence, and many Of
the features included are purely of
pagan origin.
During the last few days of the
lenten season, the Indians carry out
the sorrowful motif in their dances,
the major portion of which, for this
period, consists in a ritual which
typifies the sorrowing spirit of the
participants over the coming cruci-
fixion.
At the, end of the lenten season, the
Indians rejoice in memoriam of the
resurrection and after that the tribal
dances-the dance Of the deer, OF the
bear sand of other ancient deities--
are given as symbolic of the spirit of
gladness, which prevails

TWENTY-S BARKS ARE
SUNK AT GLOBE, ARIZONA

No less than 213 dog licenses have
been issued by the city Of Globe to
date, a figure more than the entire
1925 total.
Already this month rs animals
have been killed and this destruction
goes on apace. 1t seems that dogs
come into the city for food and hang
around the rubbish bins.
Poundmaster Bob Henry made a
raid ON property at the corner of Mes
quite and High streets, Globe, Thurs
day, on receipt of reports that the dog
nuisance had become acute. This
trouble was mostly due to people
keeping dogs guilty of incessant bark
ing with the result citizens are unable
to sleep. In one case, arrangements
were made with an owner to move his
dog out of the city limits. This ami
nal is kept constantly tied up with
the result the animal becomes restive.
Mr.. Henry says the nuisance must
be abated.
