Sword Worn By Franklin
AS Ambassador Is Found

ton: Sword which was carried by
Benjamin Franklin in the battles
fought in America for the cause of
liberty. He gave it later to his
friend P. j. G. Cabanis." 1t is of
full military length and welded
from the finest Sheffield steel. The
hilt is marked with elaborate cary
ingS.
M. Girodie, the Curator of the
Blerancourt Museum, when inter-
viewed regarding the find, said, u
believe that Franklin rarely wore
his sword at the court at Louis
XVI, for there he had his pose OF
Poor Richard to maintain. But at
the Court of st. James he wore it
constantly and my researches seem
to prove that he also wore it after
he returned to America as the in
scription would seem to show.
Franklin is said to have presen-
ted the sword to CabaniS shortly
after the conclusion of the treaty
of peace by which Great Britain
recognized the independence of the
United States of America. The
authenticity of the relic is vouched
for by numerous historian and
museum authorities here.

Plane Damaged At
Mazatlan Due In
City Yesterday

A Fairchild plane of the new
Pickwick Latin American line which
was damaged last week in landing
at Mazatlan was due to arrive at
the Nogales International Airport
yesterday afternoon.
The accident was caused by Pilot
Forbres misjudging the Mazatlan
field by about so feet and landing
in some brush, damaging the ships
wings and motor.
It was Forbes first trip to Maza-
tlan and landing at night he had
difficulty finding the field. A
torchlight enabled him to locate
the field but a glare on the water
nearby confused him causing him
to miss the airport by few feet
and striking the brush. No one
was injured.

FAIR PROGRAM
READY FIRST
OF WEEK

The program and premium list
for the annual Santa Cruz county
fair at Sonoita Saturday October S,
being printed by the Nogales Inter-
national, will be ready for distribu-
ton the first part of the week.
County Farm Agent j. P. Sexton,
general superintendent of this
years fair, states that it promises
to be the largest and most success
full in the history of the county,
and that the agricultural exhibits
should particularly be large due to
the liberal summer rains.
There will be very complete
program of boys and girls sports,
three or four horse races and other
cowboy sports, and at night the an
nual county fair dance.
Prizes for this years agricultural
exhibits are much more liberal
than they have been in the past.
The poultry exhibit will exceed
last years which was considered
the biggest display of poultry ever
seen in southern Arizona.
Before the date was set for the
1929 fair the possibilities of hold
ing it on Sunday October 6 were
discussed very thoroughly. Hold
ing it on a Sunday would have
caused too much criticism, par
ticularly because OF the dance on
Sunday, and if the Ounce had been
held on Saturday hight and the re-
mainder of the fair on Sunday the
crowd at the dance, it was feared,
would disorganize the exhibits
which are always placed in the
county fair hall in which the dance
is held.
The fair association is hoping
that merchants throughout the city
and county will kindly agree to
close their places of business on
the afternoon of the fair, Saturday
October 5.
