Search in April
Dismissed on Motion

a that time the charge was
dismissed by Earl Cox, sitting as
special municipal court judge, on mo-
ton of Ralph Spann, an assistant to
Attorney General Gilliom
The prominence of Mote in Re
publican political circles caused
many rumors as to the motives Of
those who were in any way con-
nected with the arrest and the sub
sequent dismissal Of the charge with
out a trial. Until the middle Of
April Mote was the partner of the
son of former Governor James p.
Goodrich. and for years has been
known as a one of the powerful men
of his party.
When the income taxes for last
year were made public under the
law, the tax paid by Mote approx
mated $4,000 indicating an income
larger than that paid by any other
practicing attorney in Indiana.

PNEUMONIA CHIEF DANGER
Grippe Attacks Weaken BOdy's Re-
sistance to Germs OF Pneumonia
All Colds Should be Treated
Promptly.

Deep grippy colds have been un-
usually prevalent here this winter.
The situation is fairly general
throughout the states. In some sec
tions these colds are called "Influen-
"a" but the majority of health Of.
flcers report that they are much
milder than the original epidemic
and resemble more closely the old
fashioned la grippe. They are usu
ally accompanied by headache or
achy feeling over the BODY, running
of the nose,' sneezirs and frequently
by gastric and intestinal complica-
tions such as hiccoughs, nausea, diar~
rhea, etc.
Colds are too often neglected until
they have lowered the vitality suffi-
GENTLY to permit the lurking germs,
which cause pneumonia, bronchitis
and influenza to attack the body.
Don't Take Chances
The only safe plan is to attack a
cold right at the beginning. A hot
foot bath, laxative, a sweat and a
vigorous application of Vicks Vapo
Rub at bedtime over throat and chest
will often break up a cold over night.
the yapors of ,camphor, menthol, eu
calyptus, thyme and turpentine, re-
leased as vapors by the body heat,
are inhaled directly into the infected
air passages. At the, same time it
warns and stimulates the skin like
a poultice, drawing out" the sore
ness and pain.
1t is an obstinate cold indeed that
can resist this direct, double action.

planned in the consists,
briefly, of vaporizing Vicks in a tea

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Marion Tai
ley youngest coloratura soprano Of
the Metropolitan Opera company, this
afternoon repeated in her second ap-
pearance the success she achieved at
her debut Wednesday night
The ovation that greeted her ca
denza in the mad scene of Donisettis
Lucia Di Lammermoor" equalled in
volume and duration that accorded
her singing of caro- Nome" in her
debut in ''Rigoletto," which intro
duced her to New York audiences and
exceeded it in apparent spontaniety
Hundreds were turned away from
the doors, for the last possible
standee had been squeezed into the
ranks three and four deep in the
horseshow bordering the orchestra
seats to hear the 19-year-old Kansas
City girl. All seats for today's non
subscription matinee were sold out
before her debut.
Her arias in the three acts in
which she appeared were generously
applauded, and at the epd of the
first act she took nine curtain calls,
and at the end of the second act
ten calls, with Laurivolpi and De
I.uca, who also supported her at her
debut.
The role of Lucia called for much
more in the way of acting than the
relatively placid one of GiIda in
"Rigoletto," although never once
losing the remarkable calm which
distinguished her debut Miss Tai
ley showed stage presence and por-
trayed the Scottish heroine's ardor
and madness with adequacy, if re-
straint At times, however, her
acting was mechanical and she ap-
peared to rely on her voice rather
than her acting for her success.

BISBEE, Feb. &c. B. Tarbell,
aged "A. one of the pioneers of Tomb

in Charleston, town that flourished
near Tombstone in the early SOS, died

formation received here last might
by his son, DR.. c. Tarbell, of Naco.

Tombstone eight years ago, where he
l,had established himself when Charles

they built up a profitable and extern
sive business.
In 1879 he sold all of his interests
in Pennsylvania and started on the
journey west, stopping at Leadville,
Colo, for four months and then push
ing on to Las Vegas, N M, where he
bought an outfit and in the follow
inc. August he started for Camp
Thomas. He there interviewed Col
onel Foulk who advised him to go to
Tombstone, pointing out the excep-
tional opportunities which the newly
opened mines offered.
Duncan took his advice and arrived
in that city October 2, 1879. In the
November of the same year he went
to the Mule mountains, near the
present site of Bisbee, and there
prospected for some time, being at
that time one of the pioneer miners
of the locality. There were only four
men beside himself in the entire dis
trict. These We're Charles Vincent,
Joseph Dyer, Marcus F. Herring and
George Eddleman, all of whom are
now deceased.
He remained in that locality until
1890, prospecting and engaging in
other occupations, and there he first
became prominent in public life,
serving as justice of the peace in
Mule gulch for ten years. In 1899
he sold all of his interests in that
section and returned to Tombstone,
where he has since lived. He had
fine residence in the city and had
also extensive interests in Florida and
Los Angeles, being a stockholder in
the Los Angeles Investment company.
Duncan was first married on the
25th of December. 1871. and to that
union was born son, Lemuel, whose
birth occurred in February, 1873, and
who is now mining in Nevada. Dun
can's first wife died in 1882 and on
September 25, 1906, he welded Mrs.
Julia A. Blackburger, a second cousin
of General Robert E. Lee and a
daughter of John Lee, formerly of
Virginia, and afterward of Richfield,
Illinois.
Duncan was democrat in his po-
litical views and after casting his
first vote for Douglas in 1850 was
always staunch supporter of the
principles and policies of that party.
He was elected to the legislature,
serving in the twelfth territorial as
sembly. He was three times alder
man from the first ward in Tomb
stone and also served as city clerk
and treasurer, while for more than
five years he was clerk of the board
of supervisors.
Duncan was member of the G. A.
NR., and a member of the Masonic
lodge at Tombstone The latter or
ganization will be in charge of the
funeral services. Judge Albert M.
Sames will deliver an address during
the service, this having been a death
bed request of the aged man. Burial
will be made in Tombstone ceme-
terry. Porter and Ames, local funeral
directors, are in charge.

WASHINGTON SHOWS THE
WAY WITH TEAM WORK
Playground Athletes Show the Way
to All Others Through
Their Cooperation

The athletes of the Washington
playground have proved to their OBJ
ponents that team work paws, bv
capturing major portion of first
place honors in all ter-playground
activities during the present season.
Their ability to work and stick TO-
gether brought them the laurels.
Beginning with the Inter-plav-
ground track meet, the Washingtons
piled up enough points to give them
undisputed claim to first place.
With the same spirit they entered
the paddle tennis tournament and
captured total of three out of a
possible six championships.
The same spirit of team work
gave their girls the impetus TO win
the girls baseball league Champion
ship without single defeat being
chalked up against them. Their
brothers, while not having the good
fortune of being undefeated during
the season having lost two games
one to Bartlett and the other to Bur-
rift, also won the junior baseball
league.
The final standings in the league
are as follows:

a fast if somewhat unsteady de-
tense, they are team always to be
feared. The Speedboys are still
somewhat of puzzle, but do not
seem to have enough connected bat

They have good fielding, however,
