CALIFORNIA TOWN
, WHERE OLD FOLKS
DO MOST OF DANCING
SAWTELLE, Cal., March 11 (by
Associated Press.)—The presence of
the Soldier’s Home here and the fact
that scores of married veterans of
^various wars live in little homes near
by has brought .Sawtelle distinction
as having the largest proportion of
elderly people in its population of
any California town. Because they
are old, however, is not a condition
limiting activity.
‘The Old Folks Dancing Club" has
long held sway here, with frequent
hops at \\ hich numerous veterans
aged 80 and upwards have disported
themselves with matrons of like age,
or sometimes with more youthful
partners; while the ladies of the
Grand Army of the Republic have
just announced a series of "Daylight
dances” to be held the first and third
Friday afternoons of each month.
The civil war veterans and their
ladies are not the only dancers here.
The Sawtelle Woman’s Club is giving
a series of dances; the Spanish War
Veterans of the local camp are direct
ing a similar series; and the Chamber
of Commerce has announced that
community dances for everybody are
to be features of civic life in future.
#Ve 've mostly got blue uniforms
and white whiskers” remarked one
dancer ‘‘and by wearing red geran
iums we make 'em patriotic affairs.” i

DEPORTATION CASES
ON TRIAL IN ARIZONA

Arizona after her admission to state
hood.
Official^ of the county attorney’s
office are understood to have traveled
through many westeren states gather
ing depositions from the men de
ported.
Preliminary examinations were j
•eld in Douglas last year. These
were followed by a trial in the fed-1
e#al court at Tucson of 20 leaders in
the financial and industrial life of
Bisbee, Douglas and Warren on in
dictments charging conspiracy to de
prive a citizen of his rights in viola
tion of the penal code. The defense
raised a question of the court’s juris
diction in that case and it was sus
tained with the result that the trial
of 200 or more, instead of the 20
alleged, leaders, was undertaken in
the state courts.
A third action is pending. It is a
civil proceeding for damages alleged
to have been sustained by deported
men by reason of their deportation.
The deportation of the 1.186 men
followed a prolonged strike in the cop
per mines at Bisbee. Accusations
were printed in the newspapers that
the strike was fomented by Industrial
Workers of the World for the pur
pose of cutting off the production of
copper needed by the allied and asso
ciated powers in the war against
Germany.
Sherif Wheeler, who directed the
deportations, declared at the time
that all of the men deported were
known to be members of the I. W. W.
but an investigating committee under
Secretary of Labor Wilson reported
that some of the deported men were
not members of the I. W. W. but were
business men and property owners
who had lived in the district many
years.
Fifteen hundred armed men under
Sheriff Wheeler herded the strikers
and sympathizers into the baseball
park at Warren, examined each one,
released those who promised to re
turn to work, loaded the remainder on
a train of cattle cars and box cars,
put guards on board and the train
proceeded to a sidetrack at Herman
as, N. M., where it was left. United
States troops on July 14 removed the
exiles to a camp at Columbus, N. M.,
where they remained for several
weeks until they finally drifted
away. Two men, one a deputy sher
iff, were killed in the roundup at
Bisbee.

ASSERTS SHE
SAW HEAVEN
'English Woman Te!!s of Her
Spirit Journey From
Girl’s Bed.
SEES GLORIOUS SIGHT
Upward, Without Wings, She Flew,
Accompanied by Spirit of Dead
Girl—Met by Loved Ones Who
Had Gone Before.
Roston.—She went to heaven with
the spirit of a dead girl. Such is the
remarkable clainf of Edith J. Cross
Buchanan, an English woman.
Shut doors did not impede her prog
ress. Upward, without wings, she flew,
until a broad white flight of steps was
reached.
Writing in the International Psychic
Review, Mrs. Cross-Buchanan relates
her experiences as follows:
“I found myself at a girl's death
bed. She opened her dark eyes and
said gently: ‘Open the right hand side
small top drawer of that bureau and
in the right hand side front corner is
a lace handkerchief; I want you to
have it.’
Remained in Air.
“She closed her eyes and lay very
stiil then opened them again slightly.
The light in them faded, as a glorious
being, exactly like the girl in feature
and height, only very beautiful and
younger, slipped slowly out of the top
of her bead and remained in the air
near tin* pillow.
“I put one arm around the spirit,
ami with the other band closed the
mortal eyes. Then, clasping both my
arms about the spirit, *and saying
Tome.’ we passed through the shut
door into the night.
“Upward, in a slanting direction,
we went, till suddenly a brilliant light
enveloped us. and we paused by a
flight of broad white steps. At the
top was a vast room, with pillared
open front. At the head of the steps
there stood a group of people—apart

“Upward We Went.”
, from the others in tlie room, who
| were of all nations—who came for
j ward to us as we floated up the steps.
Floated Back to Earth. j
“I approached them, saying, ‘Here
she is: 1 brought her to you,’ and 1
gave the girl over to them. I knew
they were her mother and father, and
; other loved ones who had previously
passed over. Ah! with what love and
gladness they took her into their
midst ; but she herself seemed uncon
scious of it all, though her eyes were
now open.
“Then 1 felt myself falling gently
backwards, And found I was floating
in a reclining position, through space
in the night, and entered the death
chamber again, and gazed on the
peaceful face of the dead body.
“I have omitted many details, but
this I may add: The spirit had no
wings; neither had I. Her garment
was flowing and gloriously white and
pure. I had on the usual robe I wear
during the day, and anything but glor
ious, though it became so when we
entered the light.
“The colors of the celestial scene
"are indescribable, but anyone who has
had a glimpse of another plane than
ours will realize what they were.”
