VOICE OF CHANTICLEER
LOCATESLOST LECHORN
WHEN HENRY STARTS HIS
TASK OF TRAILING BIRD

One of the sayings of Don Quixotte
was, r"A bird in the hand is worth two
in the bush" Every child learns that
in its youth and many of them re-
member it in their maturer years. H.
L. Henry, of Twelve street, learned II
and in his mature years he translated
it in more practice terms to read "A
prize rooster in the coop is worth two
in the street" Henry owns a prize
rooster, Leghorn, bred in the purple
that has won MORE prizes than he has
spurs, all of which proves that he is a
"pretty fair bird" He keeps the bird
in coop on his premises and yester-
day when he took u brief trip in his
car, he returned to find the prize bird
had left for parts unknown.
He started search at once. Using
the sixth sense that the Indian uses
when he trails game-Henry learned
the trick when he lived on the ranch
he started in pursuit. At first he
didn't find any signs on the pavement
Ehj.t indicated a rooster had passed
that way. Finally he got hot scent,
however, and then situation arose
that caused Henry to exclaim in the

COL. LINDBERGH
IN WASHINGTON
IN SECLUSION

WASHINGTON March 6 t9 - The
capital tonight apparently had swal-
lowed up Col. Charles A. Lindbergh,
who landed unheralded at Boiling
field, at $50 o'clock this morning, was
hustled in an iarmy automobile to an
unknown destination, and went into
seclusion. The suddenness of his ap-
pearance after round trip to Scott
field, Bellville, ILL.,, in 20 hours, caught
the city unawares. A few officers
emergency crew mechanics and the
chauffeur who drove him were the
only ones who saw Lindbergh, to the
knowledge of newspapermen a d
photogll pliers, who secured the city
and the flying field. He is believed to
have spent the day sleeping, but Of
ficials at the Racquet club, where he
spent Saturday night, denied having
seen him.
Both assistant secretary of war for
aviation, F. Trubee Dawson, and Brig.
Gen. ,iAmes E. Fechet, chief of the
army air corps, were unaware that
Lindbergh had landed until informed
by newspapermen, and declared they
did not know Of any official purpose in
his visit.

THEY'RE TAKING
MORE INTEREST
In The CHANCE
Five Boys and Girls Going
After OratOrical HOnOrs
Local Prizes Assured

That Douglas will be well repre-
sented this year in the national ora
torical contest in which the speakers
discuss the constitution of the United
States has already been made certain
by the entry of five high school stu
dents in the field. That this is not
the last seems certain. There viii
be added chances for honors besides
that Of winning the state champion
ship this year. 1t is stated by the
school authorities that there has been
at least one promise made by local
concern that suitable prizes will be
provided for the Cochise county en-
trahts and that announcement OF this
will be made within the next few days.
The interest shown by local people
in the boys and girls will thus make
it possible for the successful one In
the country contest to win prize
that will be of value, even though
they do not win in the contest for
the state championship.
There are already five entries in
Douglas: Marjorie Bickerstaff, Leon
ard Nalley, Marion Massey, George
Guevara and Allan Hood.

he came to halt to gather the musica!

Justify. Then he located it. He pursued
the trail and ere long he had the
bunch of feathers and spurs under
his arm hesded with it back to the
coop. Once the bird was back in the
coop a serene quiet settled over the
land and Henry was happy and even
the bird seemed to share its masters

Henrys friends say that he keeps
the bird because it crowds each morn

to arise, and that he prefers it's voice
to an alarm clock. He has a motto in
his room which was taken from The
first act of Hamlet which runs:
'"The cock that is the trumpet Of
the morn,
Doth with his lofty and shrill-
sounding throat

BEEF In ALLEY
NOT GOOD MEAT
OFFICERS SAY
Restaurant Owner, Con-
vinced 1t Was Unfit for
Food, Threw 1t Out


Part of what may grow into a
very serious case was uncovered by
police officers early Tuesday morning
when they started to back track the
hind quarter of beef which officers
Kirk and Cook found lying in the al
ley between Eighth and Ninth street
west of q avenue on Monday night.
Mrs. Ramona c. Rivera, proprietress
of restaurant near the alley told
officers that she had purchased the
hind quarter of meat from a man
whose description officers are now
rhecking.
Mrs. Rivera said that she found the
meat to be fresh enough, as officers
who found it in the alley also testi-
fled, but the restaurant keeper, upon
examining her purchase, came to the
conclusion that the meat had been
taken from diseased animal and
was not fit for food She had there
fore placed the meat in the garbage
receptacle behind her establishment
and dogs dragged it to where the Of
ficcrS found it.
The other hind quarter of the
same beef was discovered at once by
the officers through information given
by Mrs. Rivera who said that her
sister had purchased the other quar-
ter. This quarter of the meat, had
aroused the suspicion of the two
women as a kidney had been left in
it in dressing the carcass and the
condition of the kidney indicated di-
sease in the animal.
That the man who sold this meat
had not caused it's inspection is be-
iieved certain by the officers That
the man knew the meat to be di-
seased and sold only the hind quar-
ters is another theory held by the
police. That the entire matter is a
serious infraction at least of the sani-
tary regulations is their statement.
Whether or not the animal slaugh-
tered was the lawful property of the
man who sold the meat is another
question
The police explained yesterday that
their jurisdiction in the matter ended
when they established that the meat
had not been stolen from some local
concern and was not involved SO far
as any city ordinances are concerned
that they can act upon. It is expected
that the county officers will carry
the investigation further if the state
does not

 More recently Fl Catorce is said to have been one of the rebel Iead- CTS in a battle at San Francisco del Rincon. state of Jalisco, in which it was unofficially reported that 1so revolutionists were killed.
 Command Nearly Wiped Out
 Catorce's command of 200 was nearly wiped out in a battle the latter part of May in the state Za- catecas, according 10 the newspaper Fl Sol, which says that Catolve himself was badly wounded. Only night and the rough country in which the battle occurred saved Catorce from falling into the hands of the federal.s. this account says.

 Although all the evidence seems to show that Fl Catorce comes un- der the bandit classification rather than that of a rebel. he has ire quently been mentioned in connec- ton with the so-called Catholic rebel activities.

 Despite his fame, however, most persons do not believe that Fl Catorce is worthy to be compared with Francisco Villa. Making due allowances for prejudice and the difference in the Spanish and Eng fish languages, there are some who describe him as "a bum"
 The only question is whether Ca torce has been present on all the occasions on which he is said to have been. If he was. he cannot be dismissed so lightly.
 Catorce is said to have been re- sponsible for the Guadalaj jara train hold-up in April. 1927, one of the most horrible events of its kind. More than a hundred persons were killed or injured and one man whose entire family had been wiped out was brought to the capital in- sane. Wholesale disasters Of this magnitude are rare in Mexico even
