 Wm. H. Hardy, one of the oldest and best known citizens ot Northern I Arizona, has announced himself as a 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 a 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 YavapIi county, who has

This closed the pro- gramme for the evening and the club went into executive session.

He then called to Marvin's boy to bring the rife, 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 cry of pain from them, as they ran away.
