Smith was presented, who oc
cupied the rostrum to the ex

aspirants feeling that sure of

was deemed unnecessary.
Mark Smith made one of
his characteristic addresses.
It was an auspicious occasion
for the brilliant Congressman,
and for nearly two hours one
of the largest and most repre
sentative gatherings that ever
assembled in Tombstone lis
tened attentively to the indis
putable deductions inimitably
presented by the speaker. Mr.
Smith was happily at his best,
his grace of gesticulation and
ease of delivery being in con
sonance with the generous re
ception accorded a general
outpouring attesting in no I
small degree the appreciation
in which the services of our
Delegate to Congress are held
by a grateful public. His per

Arizona contains 113,000
square miles of territory, be
ing the fourth largest State or
Territory of theUnion. The
theory of government is
against the making of large
and "unwieldly States. Even
Texas, with its 305,000 square
miles of territory, has had to
cut itself up into the smallest
subdivisions of any of the
rgrega- r States of the Union to localize
and handle its criminal and
civil business. Texas is ho
mogeneous both in population
and interests. The proposed
Joint State of Arizona would
be a conglomerate with no in

of his contention that a Rep

the Administration at Wash

the partizanship lash, and
consequfintly acquiesce in leg
islation not beneficial to Ari
zona. Mr. Smith's ideas on
Joint Statehood are not held
subject to revision; he repre
sents the sentiment of the
people; he is capable and sin
cere, and for those reasons he
will be returned to his post of
duty at Washington.

Board of Supervisors.
Upon the action of the board of su

does the county depend for its revenue
and progress that all look so fondly
to. Its workings are of that nature
that each member shoul 1 be a post
graduate in economy, a financier and
all around business man. His duties
are multifarious, and while tie legis
lates for one section he must not be
forgetful that other communities are
exually clamorous and correspond
ingly deserving. Watchfulness over
the county household requires the
constant vigilance of the supervisors.
The finances of the county are at the
disposal of the board, through whom
disbursements are made, and from
whom the public expect and exact a
good accounting. In this branch'of
our county affairs as is alio the case
with other democratic officials Co

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2
The time of the court was occupied
today with the case of Butterfield ts
the Nogales Copper company, involv
ing the Black Mountain Copper com
pany. The argument was between
Attorneys Ives and Franklin and went
to the form of judgment that should
be drawn. The case was tried at Xo
gales during the April term of court,
and the statement of facts was cot
submitted or agreed upon. The judg
ment as agreed upon, however, will
not be final, as the case will be ap
pealed to the supreme court of the
territory.
An affidavit has been filed in the
case of the Copper Queen vs Bauer for
recovery of real estate, avowing the
prejudice ot the district court, and
asking for a change of venue. Argu
ment on change of venue will be heard
on the 7th. The case was beard at
the last term of court, but the jury
failed to agree.
Among the cases to come up to
morrow are:
Henry Clifford vs P B Warnekros
for debt.
Joe McPherion vs Mrs Anna York
for recovery of real estate.
Cochise County vs Castenada & Co.
for debt.
In the case of Franklin vs Trickey
from Santa Cruz county, on a chanee
of venue, motion was made for dis
missal of the case, each party to pay
its own costs.
county board has accomplished more
meritorious work than any similar set
of officer in Arizona during a like
period. This envious record is due in
the main to the tireles energy of
John J. Bowen, who, profiting by a
four years' terra as supervisor, has
become an accomplished adept in the
management of county affairs. But
his good work did not end with de
sirable improvements. lie had a
further and greater duty to perform
that r( supervising the finances, add
ing Ij our exchequer and reducing
general taxation, which he did, there
now being a greater reserve fund in
the treasury, and a loner tax rate
than ever before. For the efficient
work accomplished, in recognition of
the fact that his routine knowledge of
county affairs gives him complete
mastery over a vexatious position, the
democracy of Cochise county has re
nominated Mr. Bowen for supervisor,
He needs little commendation from
the press, his public record is suf
ficient. As his re-election is of
paramount interest to the taxpayer
the cautious, conservative voter will
see to it that Mr. Bowen is retained in
bis present position. To make this
work less onerous and more effective
the same convention put in nomina
tion for supervisor
ALFRED PAUL,
of Douglas, thus equally dividing the
representation on the board through
out the county- Mr. Paul is a self
made man of keen business percepti
bilities, is a successful business man
of the southern portion of the county,
and if elected will bring to the board
ripe qualifications that must inev
itably conduce to the general welfare
of Cochise county. It was upon his su
perior qualifications for the position,
unquestioned integrity, probity of
character, and devotion to duty re
posed in him that the democratic
nominating convention gave to Mr.
Paul the nomination by acclamation.
Mr. Paul will be heartily endorsed at
the polls on November G.
Senator Foraker
Warns Arizonans
Senator J. B. Foraker writing to
Dwight B. Heard, of Phoenix, under
date of July 11,1900, effectively an
swers the claims of jointi.-ts that if
Arizona does not accept statehood
this time it will not get it for 25
years.
Senator Foraker writes as follows;
"I think the people of New Mexico
and Arizona are wie enough to know
that as public sentiment, in harmony
with congressional action, condemned
the un-American proposition to com
pel them to unite, to secure statehood,
so will both public opinion and con
gressional action condemn all sug
gestions and threats, made to in
fluence votes for joint statehood, of
punishment by undue and unjust
denial of separate statehood if the
people of these territories vote, as the
people of the United States wish them
to, according to their own judgment
as to what is for their best interests"

After a big rattlesnake had charm
ed tw o cats and was about to begin
swallowing one of them yesterday
afternoon. Miss Frances Ewell, who
resides with her parents on a ranch
twelve miles west of Phoenix, secured
a shotgun and blew off its head.
Miss Ewell was busy in the bick
yard hanging up clothes, when she
saw her two pet cats perfectly still
and both looking intently in the same
direction. She called to them and
they paid no attention.
A few minutes later Miss Ewell in
vestigated and found a large rattler
but a short distance from the cats and
slowly moving towards them. She
expected that they had fallen under
the charming eye of the snake.
Getting her fathers shotgun, the
young lady returned to the snake to
find that he had reached within but
two feet of one of the cats. She spoke
to her pet, and the snake began to
coil, ktrikint? once at her and falling
only a few inches ehrt before ehe
could aim the gun and blow rff his

revolutionary talk was the hottest and
there is no doubt but that their pres

minor disturbances which might have

Their recall to the post may be
taken as evidence that neither the
Mexican nor the United States ofli
cials anticipate any further trouble
along the border and the much
touted revolution, which never oc
curred, may now be considered a "dead
issue." v
Office of District Attorney
The o like of district attorney is the
most important branch of the county
covernment. Upon the attorney de
volves the nafe-guarding of the treas
ury by preventing tinnccssary expend
itures, investigating and passing upon
all bibs presented, watching zealously
all contracts let, etc. His duties are
nianifolJand call for the best energies
of a tireless, capable la-yer with the
interests of the general public in view,
and such a high regard for public
epinion as will make of his eyery-day
life, officially aud morally, an open
book. The bar of Cochise county is
composed of some of the brightest
men of Arizona, and it is not amiss
to siythat their public livei are in
keeping with their recognized ability.
The democratic nominating conven

tions of this position when

The report of the sheriff's office for
the month of October shows there was
collected from gambling licenses $1,
G81.50, while from other sources there
was collected and turned into the
treasury ( 3,671 .75, making a total of
15,353.25 for the month. The total
receipts turned into the treasury for
the month was $7,207.45, the sheriff's
office having the distinction of turn-,
iog in nearly three-fourths of the en
tire amount. The school fund receives
the moneys collected 'through the
sheriff's office, and it is due to the ef
forts of Sheriff Hunt that the school
J fund of Cochise county has been kept
I in such excellent cordition and most
of the schools kept open for the full
term. During Sheriff Hunt's admin
istration thus far he has collected
nearly $30,000 more than any other
sheriff has turned into the treasury,
and the expense of conducting the
office shows a less pro rata record than
any previous officer, while there is
.! i?- 'sccrjeii a single jail break
or escape during the Hunt regime
an enviable record which the people of
Cochise county appreciate and wil
I reward by retaining Mr. Hunt in his
1 official capacity for another term.
F. W. SIILLLEY
of Bisbee vva given the nomination
fer district attorney. Mr. Shelley is
well and favorably known throughout
the territory, his legal attainments
having won for him the admiration of
the legal fraternity and placed him in
the front rank of his profession as an
advocate. Mr. Shelley is learned, ir
reproachable, a man of ideas and has
thf courage of his convictions. If
elected, which he will be, the people
of Cochise county will have just cause
to applaud themselves.
Precinct Officers
Precinct officers are to be chosen
next Tuesday, and in a community
like Tombstone the office of justiceof
the peace is of vital importance, to
exercise the functions of which one
should thoroughly understand the
statutes, be resolute but forbearing,
aggressiy, discerning and charitable.
For this position Tombstone de
mocracy has placed in nomination
Mr. Edward McGinnis. Mr. McGinnis
is a miner by occupation and is pop
ular among his associates,
J. M. KELLY,
who has acted in the capacity of con
stable in Tombstone precinct for two
years is a justly popular peace officer.
Sober, vigilant and courteous, he) has
won the esteem of the entire com
munity. Jim Kelly is coura;ou3 and
exacting, enforcing obedience to the
law's mandate through stern but gen
tlemanly demeanor. Though nomi
nated by the democracy, partizanship
will cut no figure on next Tuesday
the voters will go to the polls and de
clare for Jim Kelly for constable.
