of receptions and dinners given by them TO
prominent people visiting the city and in
other ways, but few have any idea as TO
the aims and objects of this society This
order is only twenty-five years old, yet is
the greatest benevolent order that exists
to-day. And that is the great lever that
must lift this great body to the summit of
the worlds esteem.
The primary objects of the order are to
bury their dead, care for the sick. protect
the widows and educate the orphans, and
promote friendship and intercourse. The
order honors the memory of their dead,
protects their faults and remembers their
virtues. as the Hon. Bon. Boyd Winchester
who spoke at the grand lodge reunion at
Louisville said. But, gentlemen of the
Elks. whilst inyiolable secrecy wells your
deliberations and purposes, though work

agitated with dread by your presence in our
midst, even 10000 strong.

Owing to Rays delicate health Che is dying
Vi consumption the couple were placed in
charge of the Pearsal constable and are
stopping at his house. About three weeks
ago they came to this section and had
with them beautiful girl baby not
more than a year old. They stopped at
Moore a small town twenty miles west Of
here. The child was perfectly healthy,
and made friends with everybody in the
place. Some days ago Ray hired a
wagon and took his wife and baby
to the Leon river on fishing
expedition, then returned in a few days
without the child. When asked what had
become Of it they said it had been taken i'll
and died in camp far from medical aid.
The body Of the infant was subsequently
disclosed in plain pine box half buried In
a bend of the river. Its skull was mashed
in. The arrest of Ray and his wife fol-

the crime. The couple are well dressed,
well educated, well hammered and have
plenty OF money.

THE BOLTER.

The basis of all political organizations is, that the minority must yield thelr views to the majority, and honestly and fairly give their aid and support to carry out the majority views. Unless this is done no party can succeed. And for this reason it has always been held to be political dishonesty for any of the minority to fail Tn their support of the majority, and to oppose, openly or other wise, the majority action has always been held to be the worst of political dishonesty, or as it is commonly called bolting.
 Yet George Christ in his letter pub lished in the Herald, openly proclaims that he worked against us, though he admits that we had the Pima County delegation to the Territorial convention, he having been member of the Pima County Convention, that favored us.
 Mir. Christ has proved by his past actions, that he is unfit to be member of a convention or club. Much less to be the chief organizer. With his record (as he himself in his letter proclaims it) what honest man can feel any conf- dence in going into club or conven- ton with Mir. Christ-knowing that if matters do not go just to suit Mir. Christ that he will bolt.
 This is not personal matter, it is a public political issue, whether or not men who bolt their party action are to be Jorced on the party as it's leaders. II General Clarkson considers bolting the road to party preferment his views differ very materially from those gener- ally held by party leaders.
 We venture to say, that did General Clarkson sit in convention, as a min ority that he would aid to carry out the majority action as faithfully as any one of the majority would, and should any man oppose or bolt the convention action, no one would be louder in condemnation than General Clarkson would be. Why he has allowed his personal liking for Mir. Christ to so out weigh his life's history is more than we know, and it will certainly meet with utter failure here, as it would any where else.
 George Christ, the bolter, is no. the man to carry on successfully the organ Hatlon of clubs, whose existence for good depends on political honesty and confidence of it's members in each other.

There are very few people, even in- cludlng cattle owners, who appriciate what a serious catastrophe a dry season or two. would be to the cattle industry of Arizona. The loss would be something appalling and the suffering of the cattle as acute as is experienced in Montana rom the cold. It is a fact beyond controversy that the great majority of the ranges in Arizona have been over stocked during the last six or seven
 ars, and a long dry spell would cause thousands of deaths among the herds o1 every county in the southern portion Of the Territory. Some of the large cattle owners appreciate the situation and have spayed calves, others have sold female stock while others have made speciality of selling calves as we'll as all their grown steers.
