A SICKLY INFANT.
A Few of the Infirm Points of
the Proposed Miles County.

So much has been said regarding the
great wealth of the new county OF
Miles that it has interested one of our
well known citizens TO get at the ex-
act figures. These points are taken
from the tax roll and from the tally
sheets as returned from the precincts
in the proposed new county, and are
not guess work, as the glaring mis-
statements of county divisionists are.
The tax-roll of the town Of Wilcox
shows a total assessed valuation of
S5l,l53. The tax levy on same is
SI402.
Wilcox school district receives from
the county over $1,000 per annum.
The tax-roll shows the proposed
county Of Miles to have an assessed
valuation of s230O7O in property be-
longing to individuals and an assessed
valuation of seventy-four miles Of
railroad at s5IS.0CO.
Total valuation OF the proposed
county of Miles in Cochise, 1854 ,0I0.
A LIBERAL estimate OF the valuation
Of Miles county in Graham, according
to their own statement, is 500, 900, or
totsl of 1854 ,o70.
The S,ockznan in the argument for
county division places the valuation
at 81 100000, while the facts show less
than half that.
VOTERS.
The Stockman says that there were
400 votes cast there last November,
while the tslly-sheets at the court
house in this city show but 246 cast
in the Miles county part of Cochise.
The returns from the Miles county
part Of Graham shows l22 votes cast
there, or a total vote Of 36S.
The total vote of Cochise was l404
and Of Graham 90S; total for both
counties, 1912.
The Wilcox il terests, it will he seen,
wish to get away with one-quarter OF
the taxable property and one-sixth OF
the voters.

fishermen abandoned the shanties and
started for the shore. The ice soon
broke up into huge floats and these with
their liking freight were
Sent Rapidly Out to Sea.
For three long hours Mr.. Brunette and
fourteen companions were driven about
on a foe of ice entirely at the mercy of
the wind. They then stopped for half
an hour, during which time the wind
changed to the west, and they began to
move toward the shore. By this time
the wind was blowing perfect hurri-
cane and the men were all crowded into
one large shanty, the only one left stand
ing on the ice. where they remained un-
til morning. They then started for the
shore in the direction of Big creek.
where they found about forty shanties
which had been located closer the shore
and escaped the general destruction of
the night before. A number of narrow
escapes were recorded, but Mr.. Bur
nette thought that all of the inhabitants
of the main village, numbering about
200, succeeded in reaching the shore.
Grave Fears for Some.
There are grave fears, however, for
the men in the shanties isolated from
the main village, many of which were
strung along both shores of the bay. It
is thought some of these men must have
been lost, and the number is estimated
at from twenty to fifty. Steamers will
be sent out in search of the men as soon
as the ice in the river can be broken up
enough to let them out.

of the PROSTATE form, discovered That

The Heart Was Still Beating.
BY his orders the dying secretary was
carried into the dish room adjoining the
banqueting hall and there placed on a
table. Messengers were hastily dis
patched for electric batteries and as
many as four were applied to his body,
which was rapidly becoming cold.
This was exactly at 1905 p. m, and
for six minutes the electric shocks were
applied necessarily but without success.
At 10:11 p. M, Judge Armour came out
Of the dish room and said:
'.He Is Dead.''
This was the fearful announcement
that was sent through the gaily bedecked
banquet hall, around which still hung,
like funeral pail, the smoke of the
after-dinner cigars.
vHe is dead p The words went to the
heart of every man who heard them.
Could they believe it? The brilliant
orator of few minutes ago, aglow with
enthusiasm, predicting his future policy
in the treasury, was only mass of clay.
His voice was forever silenced, and his
last words were for his country. Every
man looked at his neighbor with blanched
cheeks. That awful messenger,
Death, Had Descended Upon the Feast,
and taken from the crowd one of the
nations chief officers. A silence fell
upon the men who were only a few mo-
ment's before clamoring for news of
Mr.. Window. Judge Armour in retir-
ing had announced that Mr.. Window
had only tainted, and it was not thought
by the outsiders that it was as serious
as it proved to be.
The secretary had succumbed to an
attack of the heart. He had for long
time been sufferer from heart diseases
and only last Monday was visited by a
shock, which, however, passed away
without causing much Inconvenience.
