MAN LOSS SELF
IN MUDDY VALLEY
R.. M. Jacoby Eats Lunch
and Loses Mind.-Strays
From Wife Who Is Unable
To Find Him.

Richard NJ. Jacoby, aged 81, a
commission buyer drove into the
Muddy Valley Sunday afternoon
to transact some business. He
was accompanied by his wife.
After spending some time in
Overton, Pacoby and his wife
moved on toward st. Thomas.
When about three miles out of
Overton they stopped to eat a light
lunch which had been brought
along. After finishing the lunch,
Mr. Jacoby got up and took
walk. This was about three
thirty.
At dark he had not returned
and Mrs. Jacoby started back to
Las Vegas without her husband
and arrived in this city about
nine-thirty or ten o'clock.
On Monday morning Jacoby had
not yet been heard from so his
wife and her mother reported the
matter to the police An investi-
cation brought forth the fact that
the lost man was a close friend of
j. r. Cunningham. Mr. Cunning
ldiH was lulOIIlGu Vi the uldIJtl
and started out at once with some
friends.
JacOby was found wandering
around in a dazed condition very
near the spot where he had had
lunch with his wife. There were
many tracks around and apparent
ly none of them led far away.
He claims that he remembers
nothing after eating his lunch and
that everything turned black.
Had word been taken into Over
ton or st. Thomas by Mrs. JacOby
she could probably very easily
have found her husband. The rea-
son for his losing his mind and
the fact that Mrs. Jacoby did not
report the mater to the police
until the next day cast shadow
of mystery over the whole affair.

|NALLEY, COLE AND CLAPP ARE INDICTED
LOOKING FOR ROBBER
WIFE SHOOTS MATE
Dick Aronld Victim of Acct
dent.-Peppered with Shot
Sighr OF one Eye Is En-
dangered.

Richard tDickJ Arnold of
Searchlight was the victim of a
mistake which might have cost
him his life, when ne received
the contents OF a shotgun fired
by his wife when she mistook him
for a burglar at Searchllght early
yesterday morning.
Since the robbery of the store
OF the Searchlight Mercantile Co.
owned by Mrs. Ella Knowles some
three weeks ago, a burglar alarm
system was installed. Friday
morning at 200 the alarm was
set off. Mrs. Knowles immediate
ly aroused Mr. Arnold and his
wife, daughter OF Mrs. Knowles)
and told them that the store was
again being ROBBED.
Mr.. Arnold, leaving his wife
armed with shotgun and Mrs.
knowles in the house about 80
yards from the store, and after
giving them instructions to shoot
If they should see anyone come
out OF the store, went to investi-
gate.
After throwing the ray of his
flashlight into the store window
and hearing and seeing nothing,
Dick went around and took his
stand in the shadow of the fire
tank. Mrs Arnold, seeing the
movement, and not having OBJ
served her husband go to that
place, took aim and fired.
About is or 20 bird shot took
effect in Mr. Arnold's 5 right arm,
several in his face and scalp, and
two penetrated the region of the
eye.
Bert Mizer brought Mr.. and
Mrs. Aronld and Mrs. Knowles in
his car to the Las Vegas Hospital
where the wounds were dressed
by DR.. Mildren. Most of the shot
were removed without trouble.
The two shot which entered near
the eye apparently missed the eye
ball, but inflicted a wound which
S both serious and painful. 1t is
the hope Of DR.. Mildren that the
sight of the eye will not be in
jured, but it is impossible to know
the result positively for several
days.
Mrs. Arnold is much grieved
and worried over the part she
played, but it is clear that she is
in no way blamable.
Mr.. Arnold will probably be
confined to the hospital for a
week.
Following the last robbery of
the Knowles store, the robbers
were caught and plead guilty.
About $75 worth of the stolen
goods were recovered, but the bal
ance of the $3.50 in money and
goods which the burglars obtain
ed has not been found

Victim of FiIipino's Knife
Able To Walk a Little
Nothing Heard from Mrs.
Byers Since She Left.

Notwithstanding the fact that
Mrs. George Byers, alleged to be
the wife of George Byers, who
was terribly slashed by an insane
Filipino at Windmill Station in
San Bernardino county, Cal, more
than a month ago, left Las Vegas
ON April 10 and has not since
been heard from either by Mr.
Byers or the hospital surgeons,
the patient is making rapid and
certain progress toward complete
recovery.
MIR. Byers was operated on by
Dr. Mildren last week for the re-
moval of infectious matter which
had gathered in the lung cavity,
and is now making better prog
ress than before. He is able to
sit up and to walk about a very
little. With continued good for
tune he will soon be able to leave
the hospital.
The complete recovery of the
patient is high recommendation
of the skill of DR.. F. r. Mildren
dS SURGEON anu OIL Lue excellent
care the patient has received.
When he came to the hospital his
condition was such that the
chance of saving his life appear
ed very remote. He was stabbed
and cut and slashed in a manner
rarely paralleled except by the
mutilations of the World War in
which DR.. Mildren gained his wide
experience and high reputation as
a SURGEON.
Naturally there are two at least
who are much pleased at the out
come of the case, Mr.. Byers and
Dr. Mildren.

MICKEY OUTCLASSED
BUT MADE GOOD FIGHT

Mickey Wallace, who fought
Bert Colima last Sunday night at
Nogaies, Mexico, was clearly out
classed by his opponent, but
nevertheless, he made a plucky
effort.
According to spectators Mickey
hit the floor in the first round
and again in the second round,
but was able to get up and go at
it again. In the third round Bert
got IN his heavy lieks and Mickey
went down for the count.
Co.ima is one of the most ex-
perienced and accomplished box
ers. The principal comment on
Mickey is that he is rather too
ambitious in going UP against such
fighters as Mickey Walker and
Bert Colima at teh present stage
of the game.
There was a big and enthusi-
astic crowd at the fight.

FOURTH OBSERVED
IN FLOODED TOWN
Arkansas City Folk Pick Lone
Dry Spot and Hold Spe-
ciaI Services.

By the Associated Press.
ARKANSAS CITY, Ark, July s.
"Quiet as a lamb" was the observa-
ton by Mayor c. D. Hemingway on
Arkansas City's celebration of indie
pendence day.
Flooded for the third time in year,
with traffic confined to small boats
and the day too wet for fireworks, the
citizenry gathered on the one remain
ing dry spot in the town and held a
municipal patriotic and religious
service.
Fishing i'm Streets.
After that, the most of the popula-
ton went either for a boat ride or
fishing. To fish one paddles either
downtown or to the residential sec
ton, selects any likely looking second
story porch and drops a line into the
submerged street.
Everything in the town is going
along in as nearly a normal manner
as possible, Mayor Hemingway said.
City government activities in the
main have been neglected, he added.
Marriages are on the slump. because
as the official explained, 1.-The couples
can't get over to the courthouse eX-
cept by boat, and / suppose they're
afraid to try it."
Skiff Wedding Trip.
However,, the flood did not prevent
one couple from padding up to the
license bureau. After the ceremony
they took wedding trip in their skiff.
The food waters which flowed
through breaks in the levee above the
town a week ago had receded from
six to eight inches from Saturday. In
some sections of the town an attempt
was being made to keep stores open
by building scaffolding over the re-
manning two to four feet of water.

Dispute Over Wall
Lands Man i'm Jail
On Order of Court

Differences between two neigh
bors over the maintenance of a
wall by one of them which caused
water to be damned up on the
property of the other resulted to.
day in the signing of an order of
commitment for contempt of Will
liam III. Pearce of 2908 Pomeroy
road southeast and he was sent
to Jail until he complies with the
decree of the lower court to remove
the wall.
The trouble started in 1925 when
it is alleged Pearce built
wall on his land which damned
up the rain water, causing it to
back up in the yard of James e.
Scott of 2912k Pomeroy road south
east. PeaEce, following a decision
against him in the lower courts,
appealed, but the upper court sus-
tanned the decree of the lower
court on the ground that the wall
constituted a nuisance. He was
ordered to abate the nuisance by
razing the wall. Pearce failed to
comply with the decree Of the
lower court, which was signed by
Justice Siddons, with the result
that he was today ordered COM
mitted for contempt.
