went and got the boy and had him
attended to by a surgeon and later
took him to the Calumet hospital
and had the wounded arm X-rayed
to determine the actual conditions.
Officer Murchison says that he
hunted out the woman in the case
and stook her to the Jail and that
she exonerated Harris OF any sus-
picion of offense and said he was in
no sense to blame The officer says
that after very careful inquiry into
the case he thinks that Harris has
told a straightforward and truthful
account of what happened and that
the wound came as the result OF the
officer on the other side OF the line
shooting at the wrong man.
Harris will leave his car here and

Albert Harris, 20 years old, OF
Hope, N. NJ, will go to his home
from Douglas today carrying his right
arm in splints as the result of being
shot through the upper arm by a
policeman in Aqua Prieta on Friday
night about 1G o'clock According to
Harris own story, the injury is the
result of his ambition to say he had
been 'below the line into old Mexico"
and he also declares that all such
ambition has been forever stilled.
Harris came to Douglas on FRIDAY
evening, arriving here in his auto
mobile about 9 o'clock. He had been
working at Yuba, Calf and had
received word that his mother was
i'll and started home. When he got
to Douglas, he says, he met with
a man, whose name he does not
know and who quickly got out OF the
picture when the trouble happened,
the stranger proposing trip across
the international line. That longing
to say he had been in old Mexico,
Harris says, caused him to accept
the strangers proposal and they drove
across the border. i5it
1t is the statement of the injured
man that several drinks were ordered,
although he says he used only light
drinks. and finally they visited a
place where there was a woman alone,
according to Harris The stranger, he
asserts, seemed to take some personal
effects of the woman who protested
and finally the man suggested to
Harris that they run, as he advised
the police were coming. The stranger
made good his suggestion to run
and that was the last seen Of him
by Harris.
Harris says that he walked out
of the house but after he was out
he did start at a slightly livelier pace
and when he did so he heard some
grooming sounds over his head as
three bullets, from the officers re-
volver, passed over him. The fourth
struck him in the middle portion OF
the upper arm, badly shattering the
bone and apparently causing him to
faint, as he says the next thing
after feeling the sting in his arm that
he remembers is that of flashlights
in his face. Then two officers half
dragged and half led him to the
jail where he was locked up and
left for the night and until 10 o'clock
yesterday morning without anv medi-
cal or surgical attention. He saws
he appealed for help but was told
that he must wait until 10 o'clock
and did so.
At 10 O'Clock yesterday morning

fled the Douglas department that
there was an American in Jail there
and Officer A. B. Murchlson was

TICK ERADICATION
MAKING PROGRESS,
SECRETARY AYERS

That portion of the annual report
CT the Secretary of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture relating to ticks
which attack cattle carries encourag-
ing information to the stockmen of
the southwest, Here are the observa-
tions made by the secretary:
I'm the southern states the eradi-
alton Of cattle ticks continues to make
steady progress. During the year there
was a gain of IL counties and parts
OF five counties in the area released
from federal quarantine. The pro-
gress occurred principally in Texas,
Arkansas, Virginia, and Florida. Of
985 counties in various southern ct.I es
that were qU3rantined when system
attic tick eradication began in 1906,
248 still remained under quarantine
at the end of the fiscal year This
important work may therefore be con-
Sidered about three-fourths completed.
I'm spite of the excellent progress
made there is still some misguided
opposition, largely in areas that would
derive handsome benefits from the
suppression Of this pest. Tick eradica-
ton is primarily an economic under
taking and the funds invested in it are
ultimately returned to community,
with dividends, in the form of pros
porous livestock industry. Packing eS-
adjustments, creameries, milk con-
denseries, and ice-cream factories have
appeared in regions freed of the ticks.
Such establishments provide good
cash markets for meat and dairy pro-
ducts besides enabling the communi-
ties to be more self-supporting with
respect to these commodities.
"The floods occurring in the MiSsis-
sippi Valley during the year aided
Decentralization work somewhat by de-
posting silt over large areas formerly
infested, thus destroying the ticks in
enormous numbers. Particularly in
Louisiana the flood waters advanced
the eradication of the pest. When
restocked with tick-free cattle such
areas should remain free from these
parasites. The departments inspectors
accordingly have urged that advantage
be taken Of this special opportunity to
advance the completion of tick -eradi-
cation work in flooded areas. In such
cases the expense of supervising re-
stocking with tick-free cattle is but
small portion of the cost when an
adequate number of dipping vats must
be built and maintained to conduct
The work in the customary manner"

Douglas and manager OF the Hilltop
mining properties and interested in
other mines in this section, was a
visitor in Douglas over Friday night,
stopping at the Gadsden hotel. Mr.
Fife now is located in California but
he declares that he yet has a very

to forecast a good year for the city,
stressing the fact that the one item
of strength in the copper market
would insure that He left the city
