Secretary Murphy in his recent re- port seBsibly said:
 "I believe the system which is being practieed in Arizona of assessing prop erty at a low valuation, and conse- quently nscessitalipg high rate, is exceedingly harmful and unwise. Peo- pie seeking homes and places for the investment oi capital when told the rate of lazation are frightened and naturally % when an explanation is not afforded them. Nearly all the property in the Territory would bear & valuation double and in many eases treble lhe figures now stated. IL # conceded by all who are, acquainted with the facts that if all the property of Arizona were assessed, and at its fnIl value, the rate of taxation would be ss low here as in many ol the most prosperous parts Of she east. Itis CT tfernely desirable that the facts be. come known and understood, 90 thai lbe people in different parts of iht country and the legislative branch q the Government may not be mislsd q to our condition"

gave S25 in bills for which he was to

the money in an envelope and sealed it,

ting and directed him to 90 TO a GER

where man would meet him and pay
him S125 for the s25.

DEATH OF A PIONEER.
William r.. Dempsey, of Otter
vile, Died i'm Sedalia
Yesterday.

Wm. r. Dempsey, of Otterville,
Cooper county, died Yesterday morn
ing az the residence of his son-in-law,
John F. Antes, in Sedaiia, Mo.
William r. Dempsey, had he lived,
would have been 10 years of age rext

Greenbrier county, Virginia, in 1912,
and moved with his family, father,
mother and brother, to Missouri in
1886. He tried to lccite in Henry
county but his wife's health gave way
and he concluded tn return. On his
way back. they stopped in the Walker
settlement, at Pleasant Green, Cooper

blacksmith shop and remained until
1915, when, with the Wears and
others, he located the town Of Otter

blacksmith until after the war.
He was a very companiODab'e man
in every walk of life, honored and
respected by every one. Chosen to
represent his town in all local affairs,
esquire Dempsey" was the arbiter in
everything that pertained to the well
fare of the county aud his town.
Posse ssing kindly nature, every man
was his friend-he had no enemy.
During the war, at Otterville, although
he was a union msp, both parties
respected him. While not outspoken
in his espOusals, yet when occasion
required he was brave to assert and
set.
Residing in Cooper county since
1887, he was an encyclopedia of in
formation regarding the events which
took place in the vicinity of Otterville
and could interest every one in his
recitals of early days in the wilds of
central Missouri, the fish-hunting ex-
of the men and their
doings -prior to, and during the war.
His death was caused by apoplexy,
being large and feshy man, 81.
though usually eReSSkRg gG and h sth

his arm chair, his head dropped on
his shoulder and be was dead.
His funeral will take place in
Otterville, on Tuesday March, Oath, at
noon.

A Divorce Couple Decide to Try
1t Again.

A marriage took pace at Bowling
Green yesterday afternoon, the cirum-
stances of which are rather out of the
ordinary. The contracting parties
were Charles T. Winn and Miss Min
ME Hanson. Less than one year ago
the parties were first married. They
lived together unhappily and a divorce
was the result, which was granted
about six months ago, and the young
lady's maiden name restored to her.
Since then they have seemingly seen
the error of their ways and repented,
and yesterday the groom applied to a
recorder for a marriage license. They
were married at 3 o'clock again yes
terday by a justice. Another re-
markable feature of the reunion is
that at the first marriage they were
both children, and yesterday when
they were married they were neither
of age, though twice married.

A CHRISTIAN SCIENCE VICTIM.

The grand jury now in session at
Mo-, is investigating case
involving the practice of christian
science as cure for diseases. On
November 80, 1889, Isaac Hamilton.
a prominent farmer of Saline county,
died of typhoid fever while under the
treatment of so-called chri. tian
scientists. His friends in the neigh.
borhood insisted upon an investiga-
ton and a coroner's inquest was held,
the jury returning a verdict to the et-
feet that deceased came to his death
through the criminal neglect of those
who had him in charge after medical
treatment had been abandoned. The
case created great excitement at the
time, snd the grand jury now being
in session for the first time since his
death, IL investigating the matter.
The similarity to cases recently occur
ing in Iowa and Nebraska, where per.
sons have died under sc-calied chris
tian science treatment, lends the in.
vestigatiOn great interest. Hamilton
was not believer in christian science
though his wife and daughter were.

CRIME In COOPER.
A FeHd between Farmers, Re-
suits i'm a Bloody Stab
bling ARRAY.

Last Friday George Davis and
Thos. K. Draffen, two reputable citi-
zens of Go, per county, had diff
Guilty. Davis had Drafien ares ed,
and yesterday was set for hearing at
Bunceton. Just sitter dinner, while
the Draffen brothers were returning
from the trial, Robert Davis and his
father sprang upon Thomas Draffen,
and in very few moments general
fight ensued. During the melee
Peter Arnold, a kinsmsn of Davis,
attempted to assist him, when several
others interfered. After fighting for
several minutes, and upon being sep
arated it was found that Mr.. Arnold
had received four cuts, one almost
severing his right wrist, two on his
shoulder ard one in his abdomen the
latter, the physician says, will prove
fatal. Robert Davis had his throat
cut from ear to ear, and the wound is
serious, if not fatal. Drafien was
wounded in the eye and will lose its
sight. 1t is not known who did the
cutting. An enmity has long existed
between the parties.
Aleck Stephens, who arrived from
Boonville this morning, was asked
concerning the affair, and said there
was little doubt but that Robert Davis
and Peter Arnold wO aid die.
