BASSETT DRAWS
ANOTHER CROWD
ON WEDNESDAY

Evangelist Carl Bassett drew an
at the Baptist church and after lead
ing lively song service, he illus
trated with crayon the fine old song,
"Home Sweet Home" which the
pianist played. Both the ability of
the speaker as a trombonist and
his drawing work are appealing to
the nightly crowds
Bassett spoke on "Simps, Saps and
Fools" last night He stated that
simps and saps are but varieties of
fools who say that there is no God.
People at the time of Noah said
that there was no God. They did not
believe in the God in whom Noah
believed. They laughed at Him, but
Gods word proved true. He told
Noah that he was going to destroy
the wicked and it happened as it
was foretold. Many people today do
not believe in the God of the Bible.
They laugh at the judgment, but it
is coming just the same.
lone reason why the people of
Noah's time rejected God was because
of the great many unGodly homes.
They did not worship God-they re-
fused to take Him into their home
life. A great cause for the crime
and unrighteousness of today is that
unGodly homes are prevalent on
every side.
"The people whom God destroyed
We're self-righteous. They believed
that their way of salvation was ade-
quate. And they did not depend on
Gods salvation. Even so is it to-
day. People do not follow the Bible
way of salvation but work out a
system of their own"
Bassett's subject tonight will be
Snakes"

MEXICAN USES SAFETY
RAZOR BLADE TO END
HIS LIFE NEAR CITY

Juan S. Lievano, 25, Mexican la
borer, committed suicide about $3.50
Wednesday evening, outside the
shack in Railroad addition where he
made his home, by slashing his
throat with safety-razor blade.
In a note which he left to his
brother, Juan asked him to take
good care of his sister. They are
his closest surviving relatives.
Local officers Investigated the act
as did coroner's jury under the
supervision of. Judge John E. New
bury but no cause for the suicide
could be ascertained. It. was stated
by friends that Lievano had at
tempted to borrow a gun earlier

shoot himself but was unsuccessful,
and resorted to the razor blade.

DOUGLAS BISBEE
CHAMBERS PLAN
HIGHWAY ACTION

Cooperation between the Douglas
likely within the next few days con-
cerning the route to be taken by the
forest service road now being con-
structed in the Pinery canyon secs
tion.
The original plans called for the
road to cross certain land leased by
John RIGGS north of Light, but there
is dispute as to procuring the righl
of way at the section desired.
Riggs has refused the sale of the
land along the surveyed route of the
road, according to Vance Johnson Of
Bisbee, and has proposed a different
routing which it is estimated would
add $4,000 to the cost Of construction
because of hills and other natural
drawbacks. Riggs has also insisted
that the road crossing his land be
fenced on both sides, requiring 10
miles of double fence and bringing
the cost of construction far above
the figure set by the forest service
according to Johnson.
Robert Hamilton, secretary of the
Bisbee chamber, is DESTROYS of having
the Douglas chamber cooperate with
the mine city body in working for
the condemnation of the original
tract of land and is to confer with
officials of the local chamber as to
action along that line.
According to those interested in
the project, it would be most feasible
to petition the forest reserve officials
to condemn the desired land but
word from the Tucson office of the
service recently stated that the for,
est reserve is not anxious to follow
that line of attack in this instance,
The only other way to procure the
route sought, would be for 10 citi-
zens who are known to use the high
way in the canyon section to petition
the board of supervisors to secure
the right of way, as is done in the
case of land desired for any new
county road. If this was done, John
Fart, Douglas member of the pres
ent board declared last night, a copy
of the petition would then have to
be posted for 80 days first. Then a
committee of review would have to
be appointed-one member to be the
county engineer-to go to the scene
of the disputed right of way and
make an investigation of the facts
in the case. The report of this COM
mfttee would be presented to the
board within 60 days after the petit
tion had first been filed after which
the supervisors would be enabled to
call for a hearing of all persons in
terested at a date of 80 days from
the receipt of the Investigators re-
port. This hearing, which would
tl-us fall 80 days after the filing OF
the petition, would allow all sides of
the problem to be studied and fol-
lowing the hearing the supervisors
if they wished-could condemn the
property.
Although the construction crew is
now at work on government land in
Pinery canyon, the work will soon be
completed there, and the crew will
probably be removed if the terminus
of the road lis not soon secured, ac-
cording. to Johnson.
