Williams Burglar
Found Wounded
At Needles, Calf.

Williams, Nov. 10.-(Special to The
Sun)-For the third time in the past
few years the Rittenhouse-Ca Campbell
Clothing Company store was the scene
of an attempted robbery early Tues
day morning, but due to the presence
of mind and bravery of Marvin Payne,
clerk, who sleeps in the rear of the
store, the robber was unsuccessful in
his attempt.
About one o'clock in the morning
Payne was awakened by a strange
noise in time to see a pair of legs
entering through an open window at
the back of the store. Payne reached
for his gun, Al caliber revolver, and
fired shot toward the man. The
robber continued his entry until he
was within the store, then crouched
on an upper shelf while Payne fired
a couple more shots. As he started
back through the opening Payne fired
again and the man let out a yell and
doubled up slightly but continued on
his way to waiting automobile and
was driven away.
Working on clew obtained from a
Kingman physician in which he stated
that he had removed a bullet from
underneath a young mans shoulder
blade about 1880 Tuesday morning, Of
ficers got on hot trail with the result
that four men and fourteen-year-
boy were arrested by the Needles of
ficers about noon Wednesday.
The youth made complete confes-
sion to the Needles authorities stating
that two of the men had remained in
the car at the rear of the Rittenhouse
store while the other assisted the rob-
Der in gaining entrance to the store.
Three of the men were armed when
taken by the Needles officers and were
driving a Nash sedan which had been
stolen in Colorado.
It is reported that a Needles ply
sician extracted another bullet from
the injured mans leg, bearing out the
belief of Payne that two of his shots
took effect.

flscated three stills and so gallons of
liquor and destroyed large quantity
of mash.
Thursday afternoon, Deputy Sheriff
Art Vandevier, Constable Bum
Black, working with Deputy Sheriff
Frank Holden of Williams and Special

Following the arrest of Walton and
Saunders trip was made to the KY
ranch about 20 miles north of Will
liams and here the officers found a
20-gallon still, eight barrels, six of
which were filled with mash. The
owner of the still was absent but a
warrant has been issued for his ar
rest.
Saturday afternoon the officers
visited a ranch about 80 miles north
of Williams and found two 10-gallon
stills and 10 gallons of liquor in the
possession of Al Hawkins. Hawkins
was placed under. $500 bonds Tuesday
by Justice of Peace Harry Richwine
to appear before the next session Of

Under-sheriff d. L. Mckinney and
Deputy Sheriff Art Vandevier hadn't
planned any still hunting when they
left here Monday afternoon to serve
civil paper. However, in looking
for cabin in the scrub cedars about
20 miles east of here, mile off the
Old Trails highway, the officers ran
on to large still with capacity of
approximately 40 gallons. The still is
unique one and is on display at
the county jail. The owner is re-
quested to come and claim his prop
erty.

IGNORANCE ABOUT SNAKES COSTS
COUNTRY S220OOO,00O A YEAR, SAID

"a snake fight" Jones explained,
us either promotion stunt or bald
joke. | have handled snakes So years
and know"
Ignorance about snakes costs the
country about $220,000,000 year,
Jones estimates. Farmers who kill
non-poisonous kinds are losing their
best friends.
''These snakes live on rodents and
other pests that destroy crops. They
should be protected by law" he said.
There are for that matter only five
kinds of poisonous snakes in this
country. They are the RATHER, viper,
adder, copperhead and cotton mouth.
They have no redeeming traits.
ut is easy to tell the poisonous from
the nom poisonous. The dangerous
kind has an unlimited number of
scales on his head and two sets of
nostrils."

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 10.-(UP)-
For the edification of those innocent
snake fight fans who prove Barnum
was right, Cary Jones, known in cir
Gus circles as the man who knows most
about snakes, begs to say:
l. Most of the stories about fierce
snake fights are pure bunk.
z. After years watching snakes,
| can truthfully say they like to live
IN perfect harmony; this regardless of
their species.

cannibal snakes in America, the king
snake and the blue gopher and the
only time they will try to eat others
is when they are starved"

lures summer and winter and knows
when they are sick or well by the color
of their eyes.

An hour with a book would have
brought to his mind
The secret it took him a whole year
to find
The facts that he learned at enormous
expense
Were all on the library shelves to
commence.
Alas for our hero, too busy to read
He was also too busy, it proved, to
succeed!
We may win without credit or backing
or style,
We may win without energy, skill or
a smile,
Without patience or aptitude, purpose
or wit
We may even succeed if we're lacking
in grit.
But take it from me as very safe
hint
A civilized man cannot live without
