Also, Policeman Duncan, leader ef the patrol, who was in charge of the midnight tactics, experienced the unique sensations of being openly and forcibly "pinched" by a member of an other arm of the law. It happened in this wise. Company A patrol, being the young members of the company recently formed here, was forced to conduct its drill in the Polk street grounds because the auto show is pretty well tilling the armory. Part of the tactics consisted in guarding the fort, and -as the attacking force sought to sneak through the lines and build its bivouac among the heaps of dead enemies, a householder nearby became convinced that all the burglars in the world were mobilizing against the peaceful neighborhood. He phoned to the sheriff for assistance, and then be coming imp iticut, uncorked a perfectly good .32 Colt into the air over the heads of the patrol. Policeman Dun can, who spends part of his spare timl drilling maneuveis into the heads of his kids, rushed to the door ind ord ered the man with the un to Ket into the house. Just then, the deputy sheriff. who had snack up on the scene leaped out of the dense underbrush and made seizure upon the person of Duncan. Soon explanations ensued all around, the peaceful cit was :ii!oved to go to his rert in comfort, Duncan was re leased by his fellow officer and tho scattered patrol was collected and set to work again learning to attack and defend. . o JUSTICE SHEWED (IP ON SIX POINTS YOUTH Robert Scott Arrested for Four Month's Old Theft Jiintlee moving with leaden foot yes terday quickened her pace and laid her hand upon the shoulder of Roy Scott, a young man living near Five Points.

ACTION ON HOUSE BILL IS EXPLAINED Explaining his ' action with refer ence to house bill 81. Governor Hunt yesterday sent a statement to the secretary of state relative to the ir regularity which marked the pasasge of that measure. The bill, which provides for the sinking of an artesian well near "Franklin, Greenlee county. passed both branches of the legislature, but was amended in the senate so as to require the investigation of the state land commission before any money could be spent. When the bill came up for third reading, the amendment for some reason or other was not in corporated in it, and the bill wa re turned to the house minus the sen ate amendment. In the governor's fetter he states that if knowledge of this irregularity had not come to him his action on the measure might have been different. As it was, the bill was transmitted to the secretary of state without the executive's signa ture. o l Chandler News Notes Brackett and associates to put in a bonded or leased.
