les the past month, almost "got
his" shortly afer 9 o'clock Satur-
day night when he was observed
peeping in windows at the home
of Custom officer B. L. Coulson
at 209 Elliss street.
The man, described as being
about 25 years of age and wear
ing a white shirt, first visited the
house just west of the CouIson

he went to the Coulson place. The
lady in the neighboring house
phoned Mr.. Coulson that a man
was peeping in his windows. Coul-
son got his 45 Colt, went out in

LEGISLATURE TO
APPROVE PLEA
OF ASSESSORS

Tucson, Aug. 4.-The safe leg
islature is in accord with the prin-
ciple of a resolution introduced at
the recent tax conference at Flag
staff. asking that so cents from
every automobile license fee be
retained by county assessors to
help defray their clerical expen-
ses.
Announcement of the legisla-
ture's position in the matter was
contained in telegram received
yesterday by Earry A. Drach-
man, county assessor, who was
member of the committee that
drafted the resolution adopted at
the Flagstaff meeting. The tele-
gram was sent to the Pima coun-
ty assessor by A. M. Crawford,
speaker. Of the house of represen-
tatives.
"The work of the assessors Of
flee is particularly heavy during
the first three months of the year,
when most of the automobile Ii
censes are taken out" Drachman
explained yesterday. During
those months the assessors need
extra office held to handle the
heavy volume of business.
The text Of Crawford's tele-
gram follows:
"Harry A. Drachman, county
assessor. Tucson:
"The legislature. is in
accord with the ideas embodied
in your resolution adopted
at Flagstaff relating to re-
endorsement to county assessors
from license plate fees. House bill
127, which will probably be enact
ed, carries a provision changing
the license fee to $3.50, SO cents
of which is to be retained by the
county assessors, partially to at
least defray the expense to which
assessors are put in issuing the
license plates. We thank you
for your interest in this matter. "

TUCSON GIRL KILLED IN
AUTO WRECK NEAR NOGALES

AUTO WRECK NEAR NOGALES
The body of Miss Sabra Wood
ruff, II year old daughter of Cap
tain Roy C.. Woodruff of Tucson,
who was killed in an automobile
accident at 1915 o'clock Saturday
morning seventeen miles north of
Nogales on the Nogales-T Tucson
highway, was taken to Tucson at
4:30 o'clock Saturday morning in
the Parker Grimshaw Company
hearse from Tucson. Mrs. G. C.
Parker and w. D. Tiedje of the
undertaking company came here
for the body.
Naugle Thomas, son of Charles
S. Thomas of Tucson, and a boy
named Duffy, were also in the ac-
cident. The Duffy boy sustained
a broken left arm at the wrist, a
badly lacerated right hand, and the
Thomas youth received a bruised
leg. Mss Woodruff sustained
internal injuries and died in
rescue car while being brought to
Nogales.
The scene of the accident is at
Death Curve, sharp curve a
short distance this side Of Tubac
where many bad automobile
wrecks have occurred the past few
years. At the time the car, a
small roadster owned by Miss
Woodruff, turned over, it was
driven by Duffy and was said to
have been travelling at about As
miles hour. All three occu-
pants were pinned under the car.
The Thomas boy managed to crawl
from under and pulled Miss Wood
ruff and Duffy out from under
the wreckage. Ten minutes after
the accident a California car,
bound from Nogales to Tucson
happened along, and picked up the
injured and rushed them to Noga-
les. A short time before the ac-
cident the Tucson car had passed
that from California and the driv-
er of the California car remarked
to his wife that on account of
such excessive speed an accident
was liable to happen.
Miss Woodruff was well known
in Nogales through frequent visits
here with the family of MIR. and
Mrs. George Smalley of Tucson.
