SAM WEBB, TREASURER
MARICOPA COUNTY, DEAD
LEGISLATURE WILL BE
VERY CLOSELY DIVIDED
' Funeral services for Sam F. Webb,
.county treasurer, who died Sunday
morning at his home, 814 North Fifth
street, were held at 3:30 o'clock Mon
day afternoon from the Yarwood and
Hockery chapel at Phoenix.
Mr. Webb had been ill for the past
several weeks but had not been con
sidered in immediate danger and
death was unexpected by his family.
He died while he slept shortly after 6
o'clock Sunday morning. He was 67
years old.
Born in the Grass Valley of Cali
fornia, in 1852, Mr. Webb came to
Arizona immedately after his mar
riage in 1875 and has since made his
permanent home in the Salt River
Valley. During his 54 years as a res
ident of Phoenix he was prominently
identified with county activities.
During eight years of legislative
service Mr. Webb was the presiding
officer for two terms and was four
times a member of the senate.
also served as collector of customs for
the Arizona district and worked in
several of the county offices before he
was elected county treasurer in 1916,
an office that he held up to the time
of his death.
PHOENIX. There will be a fifty
fifty division of the house of repre
senatives and the senate in the make
up of the next legislature, according
to figuies at hand. The republicans
aic claiming nine members of the sen
ate out of a membership' of nineteen
and nineteen members of the house,
which has a .membership of 28. Furth
er returns may give the republicans
one more in both houses, but in all
probability the matter cannot be fully
determined until the official count has
been totaled.
According to the best information
available republican legislators were
elected as iouows:
Apache One representative
one senator.
Cochise Two representatives.
Coconino One lepresentative
one ,senator.
Gila One representative and
senator.
Maricopa Seven representatives
and two senators.
Pima Thiee representatives and
two senators.
Pinal One lepresentative.
Santa Cruz One representative.
Yavapai Two representatives and
two senators.
One of the featuies of the Yava
pai election was the defeat of Tony
Johns as a candidate for the senate.
Since statehood Johns has been one
of the most prominent democratic
leaders in the legislature and he will
be missed as president of the senate
by many friemls.

ZANE GREY IN BLOODY
BASIN WRITING NOVEL
Readers of Zane Grey's stirring
novels of the west will be interested
to hear that the "well-known writer
is now in the Bloody Basin, somo
forty miles from Prescott, collecting
material for another Arizona story.
Mr. Grey is making the M. T.
ranch on the Verde river his head
quarters while working on the new
book, material for which will prob
ably be drawn from the records of
those bitter feuds between cattlemen
and sheepmen which gave to the dis
trict its descriptive and appropriate
name Bloody tiasin.
The novel on which zane Grey is at
per bags in the latter's buggy,
asserting that they contained
designated brands of good whis-
key, while in fact they contained
only coloied water. The seller
was convicted of obtaining mon-
ev under false nretpnsps nnH his
conviction was affirmed by the
supreme couit of Arkansas in the
case of Hicks vs. State. Counsel
for the seller contended that.be-
cause the prosecuting witiess
parted with his money in an cf-
fort to get the seller to violate
the law. his comnlaint should not
be heeded, and thnt because lin-
uor was contraband and without
monetary value, a false reDresen-
tation concerning it could not be
made the basis of a prosecution
for obtaining something or value
through false pretense. As to the
first point, the court said that
criminal prosecutions which are
brought in the name of the state
are not for the benefit of the par-
ticular person injured, but to
prevent crime and protect the
public, and as to the second, it is
said that the gist of the offense
lay not in the value of the thing
misiepresented but in the fraud
or deception peipetratetf upon
another to his injury.

Alvarado and his bride of a

feared for the moral welfare of

didn't have any affection for the
young couple.
Upon investigating the case,
Judge McLane found that the

of the legal technicalities sur-
rounding marriage, had no idea
that another ceremony was nee-

MURDER MYSTERY
UNITES FATHER AND SON
An Associated Press dispatch last
month telling of the detention at
Nogales of Charles Losey and his wife
in connection with the death at No
gales of A. J. Born, resulted in re
uniting father and son, separated for
years. The father of Charles Losey
is George Losey, president of a bank
at Hagerman, N. M., former sheriff in
Nebraska and a member of the legis
lature of that state. 1
Charles Losey protested his inno
cence of any connection with the death
of Born, who was found dead in a pit
partly filled with water, about five
miles from Nogales. Losey's father
said he was convinced his son was not
guilty. The latter, having left home
some years ago. had wandered to
Alaska and South America. The two
were deeply affected on meeting in
the office of County Attorney Leslie
C. Hardy.

seven of the number were gathered
up by Porter McDonald, city marshal,
and placed in the city "tank" behind
the city hall, where they were kept
for two hours without the formality
ofeither a committment or a warrant
having been filed against the boys.
In the face of this the boys claim
they were innocent of the alleged
pranks, which were committed by
some smaller boys and girls.
When the city marshal was request

to release them from the city "bas

and as a result action will be brought
against him for false imprisonment.

South Bend Plant Jumps Production
on New Light Six Model.
(Exclusive Dispatch.)
SOUTH BEND (Ind.) Nov. 5. The
Studebaker corporation reports sales
for the quarter ended September 30
were $27,823,608, an increase of $5,
754,309 over the June quarter, but
the balance available for common
stock dividends was $3.51 a share,
compared with $4.71 per share in the
preceding quarter.
In connection with the earnings
statement A. R. Erskine, president,
says: "While our sales for the third
quarter exceeded those of last year'
by 30 per cent, our net profits are
less because we have absorbed a' sub
stantial part of the abnormal ex
penses of preliminary production of
the new plant at South Bend and
made other reserves.
"The new plant is now on a profit
making basis, producing 130 cars a
day, which find a ready sale. We have
made no curtailment of production at
South Bend, but instead are building
up production of 150 light sixes a day
and are striving to hold our operat
ing forces intact."
