And for every fatality there are at least 28 accidents serious enough to get on record. This does, not take into consideration minor sprains and1 pie suffering from bruises or peo- nerrous shock as the result of being in an auto mobile .accident. To appreciate what a vast army of killed and Injured is annually conscripted by the reckless motor ist and careless pedestriana com parison may be made with Ameri can casualties In the great war. Over a third as many people are killed annually by automobiles as there were American soldiers Sill ed on the field ' of battle during the entire war, while the number Injured each year Is nearly three times as great' as the number of our boys who were wounded throughout the THE ARIZONA SHERIFF Tales of his ad Teh tares, his courage, his humor, his keen Intelli genceas collected by Major Grorer F. Sexton, "The Deputy from Yavapai County." How with nimble gun and motor car he brings awift and sure justice to evildoers. woman's name They protect Woman Out In Arizona, a woman is a sacred institution! and he who works toward her defilement knows, even now, that he will have more than a sheriff to deal with; there'll be a posse of certain temper on his trait; He also knows that the cost of administration of jjustice to him wiU be greatly reduced, if he is caught. Court delays and criminal lawyers will give him no respite, out under the Arizona skies, "where winter summers." Right out there! near the .base of Superstltution fountain, fam ous peak where the ADachen were wont to ambush their enemies and leave to whatever! tribe they re presented a fear of the evil j;ods who swallowed up j their warriors, one of the most atrocious of Ari zona crimes was committed. Not two hours' Journey on horseback, and a matter of 'a few minutes with the sheriff of today from either Mesa, or , Florence. Fred Gigson, whose name is even yet spoken in scorn, came upon a man and his comely young" wife, prospecting. The will be omitted, women in Arizona Gibson called the man to the roadway and shot him down In cold blood, with ho other word. The, terrified little wife was all alone. s Her" cries 'could reach "no friendly ear. ' i t She fought In vain, but Gibson was a powerful man. The brutal assault continued from sunset un til dawn. - - ' H :v3jv-;-;' ' Gibson then loaded the exhaust ed "and seml-consc?ous woman In to the back of herj own Ilttle Ford car, and started for Mesa. They ran out of gasoline Just outside the little city, and' while he. was seeking more, she managed to get word of her plight, to a boy living near, and he told ihe sheriff. Gibson was caught on his re turn to the car. i Word of the crime spread rapidly and a noma began forming. I Ther- ' carried ropes and rifles, h The denutv sheriff at Mesa packed Gibson in to nts Studebaker and succeeded In outrunning the Mesa posse, rushing Gibson to I the state nenl- tentiary at Florence, 46 miles away. No other car could keen up the pace he set! 4iui near Florence they were other cars of the1 . same make. equally capable of running off the road through the palo verde bushes with their leafless stems : the stumpy rlsnaga, or barrel cac tus, and the deadly cholla (pro nounced choy-ya),jworst of desert cactus. . I ; - - The deputy was overtaken with in sight of Florence. Twenty ri fles thrust into his face fnrrBH him to realease Gibson. The now crlntinr desnera.in realized what his Idoom would be. and began to plead wildly for his life. A slap side of the' head with the barrel of a rifle was the only answer. Not one word was spoken by the posse of fifty men, till the very scene of his crime was reached. To a telephone pole, a, hundred feet from the dying embers of the little family's campfire, they hanged him. The pole still can be Identified by the black crosses marked on it. ! Deputy Sheriff Chester McGee, Pat Gorham and S. E. Kent went out next day. cut him down and buried him, like any other desert carion. Though , the hanging was in broad day light aqd every man there was a neighbor, there isn't a man In Pinal county today who could identify a single man in that posse! "So." concludes Undersheriff W. E. Laveen, "there doesn't seem to be much use trying to bring anv of the lynchers to court." - Thus the matter concludes, for the here nameless little woman was avenged, and that's all the law could do, anyway, isn't it f Hungarian Football Gains Postage Stamp Distinction BUDAPEST Football has re ceived , the. honor of illustrating postage stamps.
