Interior Albert B. Fall, from tell

Liberty bonds which he deposited
to his father.in-law's credit in 1922.
Justice Frederick Siddons so

fused to testify as to the origin OF

A brown-clad, apparently
demented woman who walks
into rooming houses, helps
herself to bed, and refuses
to leave is being sought in
the downtown section Of the
city today on the theory that
she may be the attractive Mrs.
Anne Ramsey Forbush, miss
ing pastors wife.
Last night such . woman
entered i rooming house at
1919 Ehirteenth st. N. W,
owned by d. 3. Nichol, and
demanded q room.
Tells OF Wandering
When told that none was avail
able, she walked into q room oc-
cupied by two young men and got
into one Of the beds.
Nichol said the woman did not
appear to be in her right mind, as
she refused to leave the bed and
talked in q rambling manner.
Referred To Ring
She complained OF being tired,
Nichol said, and told him she had
lost rs pounds last week while
wandering In the woods. The
woman also referred constantly TO
q diamond ring, present from her
mother, which someone had taken
away.
Nichoi told police today he had
| planned to keep the woman until
morning and then to call in some
of the party from Canandaigua, N.
T., who are aiding In the search.
She slipped out during the night,
however, and did not return.
Resembles Missing Wife
On Wednesday night, he told
| police, the same woman came to
his roonning house but left without
making any trouble. His descrtp-
| ton Of the woman tailed closely
with that Of Mrs. Forbush.
Shortly after dark last night q
similarly dressed woman went to q
rooming house at 80 Twelfth st.
N. W., and asked for a room. All
the rooms were filled, however, and
| she left.
The description Of this woman is
identical with that Of the woman
who entered the apartment Of Mrs.
Florence Kilgour, at 1905 Fifteenth
st. N. W., Sunday night and asked
| for room.
When Mrs. Kilgour said she had
no place for her, the woman went
to several other occupants Of the
apartment house with similar re.
quests, all Of which were refused.
Although It has been eight days
since Mrs. Forbush disappeared, De-
tective Sergt. Henry. NJ. Jet, be.
lieves It possible she may have
fallen into unscrupulous hands ana

LOWELL JUSTICE
.COURTPROVIDED
BY SUPERVISORS

Decision to re-estahlish the Lowell
justice court, with sessions con-
Quoted there three times a week by
Judge L. It. Frazier OF the Bisbee
Justice court, was reached by the
Cochise county board OF supervisors
at its regular meeting in Tombstone
The new arrangement is scheduled
to go into setfect August i.
The Lowell justice court was
abolished January l, 1926, as a step
in saving what was considered an
unnecessary expenditure of the tax
payers money, Judge Norman Nc
Kenzie automatically going out or
office when the court was abolished
A petition signed by several hun
dred residents i'll the vicinity OF
Lowell was presented to the super
viSorS in which the establishment
of the court there was urged.
After considering the petition, the
supervisors agreed to re-estaDlish
the Lowell court with Judge l.. T.
Frazier dividing his time between
Lowell and Bisbee, as q compromise
measure, which, it was believed by
the board; will prove satisfactory to
all concerned. Whether Judge
Frazier will alternate between the
or will preside over the Bisbee court
the first. three days OF the week anG
the last three in Lowell will be
optional with the judge, the super
visors stated
Lowell residents in petitioning for
the establishment OF a justice
court in their neighborhood, declared
that the present arrangement OF
maintaining only one court in the
Bisbee district has proven unsatis-
factory, that it is difficult for them
to reach the Bisbee court at all
times of the day. They claimed that
when the Bisbee district was limited
to only one court, it was understood
that the court was to be located In
Lowell by reason of its central loca-
ton.
The new arrangement whereby
Judge Frazier will divide his time
between Bisbee and Lowell, will en-
able Lowell residents to reach the
court more readily and will not place
! greater burden on the county tax
payers, the supervisors pointed out.
several OCIler nlaCCerS were DrOugIlt
before the supervisors at their
meeting, including detailed report
covering the work and activities OF
! the county hospital in this. city for
the past year. Officials of the hos
pital were commended for the serv-
ice they have given the public and
for many marked improvements that
have been made here.
W. E. Clark, clerk OF the board,
l,was instructed to confer with the
state engineer relating to effecting
q new agreement in regard to the
distribution of money from the rs
I per cent fund and the state gas tax.
The present agreement expired July
IA.
| Other routine business was dis
cussed and the board adjourned un-
til July Is, when a special session
! will be held to tentatively approve
the new county budget, governing
expenditures for the coming year.
