WHIPPET AGENT
SEES BIG YEAR
IN AUTO SALES

For the first two months az the
new year, the automobile business
in Douglas has been better tnan the
dealers anticipated, according to c.
f. Pettingall, Douglas distributor fcr
the Overland output, including the
Whippet, the WHY'S Knight and the
Falcon Knight. These are not
normally our big months but we have
all been sharing better than the
anticipated trade" said PettingaIl.
"Tc me that is an omen of better
things and 1 am confident that 1895
is going to be big year in the
automobile business in this section
of Arizona" EB
Commenting on the new features
in the Whippet, Pettingall said
among the improvements and re-
finements which are announced for
the Whippet are exceptionally heavy
and beautiful full crowned tenders
remote control door locks, contrast
ing window reveals, military cadet
type visor replacing the sun visor
which was made by extending the
roof lines, and increased braking
surface.
I'm addition to giving the front
of the car smarter and more pleas
ing appearance the cadet visor af
fords wider range OF vision, thus
the factor Of safety, al
ready a strong Whippet feature"

FRENCH FRANCS,
A TRADE DOLLAR,
BUT NO JEWELS

No results in discovering missing
diamonds had been realized yester
day afternoon when it was time
10 rthe workmen searching the
ruins at the GaGsden hotel to quit
Tor the day. Dozens OF Sacks filled
with cinders and ashes had been
carried back after having, been
searched once through, but they
will get another search before they
are sent to the dump. The search
will be continued in the basement
from where the debris has been
worked over during the last three
days.
Only one thing of value was
brought out yesterday. That was
composite of three former pocket
pieces owned by f. O. Mackey own
or OF the Gadsden. The pieces had
been and old trade dollar-at least
that is what Mr. Mackey believes
the silver part OF the composite is,
and two gold coins OF the mint
age Of France. lOne of ,the gold
coins is 20-franc piece minted in
1907 and the other is one OF more
recent coinage.
An individual claimnir some in
formation in numismatics declared
that If the silver coin was a gen
uine trade dollar, it; had substan-
tial value, as he quoted current
values of the genuine trade dollar
as not far from $50 today The
French coins, because of their age.
are believed TO hava carried a much
greater value than the current duo-
tation on the gold franc.
Mr.. Mackcy sail that he owned q
trade dollar and without making a
search of his effects at his FL Paso
home he could not state definitely
that was with the gold coins, but
that was his impression. He said
that the coins found had been in a
purse owned fby Ills wife, whose
room was directly over the portion
CT the basement now being search
ed. 1t was rings AMI Jewels of Mrs.
Nackey lost in the frs that startel
the search. The primary purpose
of the search was to try to discover
the wedding ring and the diamond
from the engagement ring which
were lost. 1t was the sentimental
value rather than the actual value,
though the diamond in the ring is
one of rare worth, beng one of ex-
ceptional beauty.

BLACKENED EYE,
SMASH ON NOSE
BIND ARGUMENT

Whether w o. Wills ever disputes
another account with Robert S. Per-
rim OF the Douglas Tailors, it remains
q certainty that it will be some days
before he will look like he did lust
before the dispute arose yesterday lie
came out of the argument with q
badly discolored eye, a smash on the
nose that left a cash that brought
an abundance of blood, and a shirt
that will need a new sleeve and other
attention before it can be used for .he
next party
According to Perrin, Wills came 10
The shop to order suit of clothes and
deposited five dollars after having
been measured He went from the
shop and later came back and accused
Perrin with an overcharge, alleging
that he could have gotten his meas
ure made at another place in the city
for IS cents, whereas Perrin had
charged him SO cents Words follow
ed. Wills, it is claimed by Perrin, ili-
sisted that he pay the IS cents. but
Perrin stood pat that he have the
measure back and handed back Wills
five dollars. Allegedly accusations
from Wills brought the men together
with the result that Perrin knocked
Wills flat and then sat upon him us,-
til Inspector Ed Leahy of the customs
Office happened along looking some
thing like Henry Clay and having the
same force as that celebrated peace
maker, and separated them.
The alteration drew more than q
score of spectators but the earlier ar
rivals were not disposed to interiors.
Perrin seemed to be sitting pretty.
as the street vernacular has it, and
he was not offering further violence
to Wills. He had been generously
spattered by blood during the early
stages of the fight and when Leahy
caused peace to hover over, Perrin
invited Wills to "come in and wash
up" but the offer was declined, not
exactly with thanks, but with a posi-
tiveness that brooked no urging.
There were no arrests and no COM
plant had been made by either party
with the police last night.
