 Wm, H. Hardy, one of the oldest and best known citizens of Northern Arizona, has announced himself as candidate for the office of Joint Coun- cilman for Northern Arizona, sub ject to the endorsement of the Re publican Territorial Convention. MT. Hardy has many friends and will be hard man to beat if nominated.
 The Journal Miner says that Joseph R. Walker, has published card with. drawing from the race as Sheriff. In MT. Walker declining to become a candidate, the Democracy lost one of the best and truest men in their party. We make the assertion, without fear of contradiction, that the man does not live in Ylvapii county, who ha, nore friends thln honest old Joe Walker.
 The Democratic Club held their re- ,uiar meeting on Monday night al the Grand Army Hall, Dr. D. ]. Brannen, the president of the Club, presiding. J. F. Dlggs, Esq, the first speaker of the evening was intro duced and addressed the audience on the question of dividing the County. His address commanded the atteation of all present, and was a logical, clear, concise statement of facts, in which he showed the reasons why division would be benefit to the people who are interested. MT. Daggs was fol- lowed by MT. James Loy, who had chosen for his subject the 'Import- ance of Primary work in elections. Mir. Loy had evidently studied his subject, and gave his hearers some good wholesome advice upon the ne ceSsity of elccting at primaries the best men available to attend county conventions. This closed the pro gramme for the evening and the club 1 went into executive session.

At about 9 o'clock that night Uncle John nearing some providers around the house and going to the door saw two men, whom he took for certain Mex jeans. He asked the,n in Spanish but received no answer. He then called to Marvin's boy to bring the rifle, and the parties began running away. He managed to fire one shot at them as they ran. When the moon rose at about I o'clock he went out again and saw the two men in the door of a cabin on the place and ordered them off, but they did not go, so he fired two more shots at them, one of which he thinks took effect, as he heard a cry of pain from them, as they ran away. Last Saturday a Mexican, ,who had been in the habit of calling at the house every day heretofore, came and asked for some eggs, saying his brother-in-law was sick. MT. Marvin thinks the parties either thought there was money in the house or intended harm to his children. However, he will he nrenared in fIltnre fn uiue
