A. / Winsett of Tucson who
was arrested here several weeks
ago on a charge of disturbing the
peace, was fined $50 Monday aft
ernoon by Police Judge E. r.
Thurman. Winsett, a short
time ago, forfeited a $25 bail
when he failed to appear in court,
therefore, the arrest cost him a.
total of SIS, all of which he paid.
Winsett did not appear in
court Monday, being represented
at the hearing by Attorney Leslie
c.. Hardy whom he had retained
as counsel. Attorney Hardy very
profusely apologized for Winsett
and said that at the first oppor-
tunity Winsett would personally
apologize to the Nogales officers
whom he quarreled with following
his arrest.
Winsett's trouble started when
he came across the line here one
night. He had trouble with an
American government official and
after being taken to the police
station he directed some ungent-,

Indian Teepee To White House
So Will Read History If Curtis OF Kansas
Wins 1923 COP. Nomination and
Election To Presidency

United States second only to
the President in importance.
Young Curtis studied law while
driving hack in Topeka. He was
admitted to the bar at 21. After
three years of practice he was
made county attorney where he
served two most successful terms.
He then engaged in private prac-
tice. His clients came and so did
money.
Then in 1892 "Charles" Curtis
was nominated for Congress from
the fourth district in Kansas.
Out to Ride 10 Win
Since that time he has spent fif-
teen years in the House of Repre-
sentatives at Washington and al
most twenty years in the Senate.
He has been conspicuous fig
ure in both branches and has had
a hand in the shaping or passing
Of every important piece Of our
legislation in TIE past quarter OF
century.
The Senator is not spectacular.
One of the most able parliamen-
tarians in the country, he has lab
ored in knowing and effective
way to accomplish those things he
has undertaken. He cares not for
the pride of authorship. Results
count with him.
That same dogged determine
ton and perseverance made him
the successful little jockey whose
fame was known as far as civili-
zation tken extended in Kansas
They say he rode like "all hell had
broke loose"
From an Indian tepee on the
Western plains to the White House
in Washington is about the widest
possible stretch in this country
He has already come to within 8
step Of it.
In his acceptance of the prof
fer of the Kansas delegation he
says he will not be stalking hoiss
for any other candidate.
That's Curtis. He means he
is out to ride to win.

Paul Davis of Tucson, president
of the Southern Arizona Baseball
League, has started his plan OF
campaign for bigger and better
baseball in Southern Arizona next
season. A six team circuit play
ing Tucson, Bisbee, Douglas, Nog-
ales and Camp Little, with Tucson
furnishing two clubs, is the idea
which has been offered the other
cities to think over.
Davis, in letter to baseball
managers, calls attention to the
fact that Tucson has finally over
come the handicap Of having no
ball park and next season will
step out with a modern baseball
park, fully equipped to care for
both the athletes and the specta-
tors.

various cities Of the proposed loop,
said:

all officials of the Southern Ariz-
ona Baseball league, including the
officials of the Bisbee Copper lea
que club, relative to the two fol-
lowing proposals for the coming

yesterday morning, and believed to
have originated from one Of the
burners in the oven, did consid-
cradle damage to the Home Bak-
