Look Out.

The correspondent of the Phenix Herald tells the story of q quarrel in the rsnks of the democratic party in this county over the selection of g new supervisor. He says that "the papers here are greatly worked up over the matter"
 The PRosPEcToR agrees with him. If the editor of that lsntern-iawed parody on graveyard journalism ycIept "The Epitaph" doesn't have a care he will get sandbsgged one of these dark nights. We haven't been running a daily in this ere commun- ity for foar years for nothing. He needn't think because he lives on wind pudding to save expenses that hs can run hluff on us. We warn him not to be found camping on our trail after we have eaten our dinner.

 Mir. Nichols responded to the toast "rhe Wilcox Democratic club" He gave a short account of the starting of the club and its growth. At the fret meeting five members were expected to sign the roll but 20 names appear ed upon it that night. Men whose politics were doubtful, signed the roll and helped to swell the number of democrats who could be counted upon All the money used during the cam psign was subscribed by members of the club and not dollar ~ss received from anyone ou' side of the organiza- tion. Organization had been the means of making Wilcox democratic precinct for the first time in it's his tory.
 Mr. Sheen, the secretary responded to "Our Victory" in a most amusing strain. He strongly urged organiza iou as the road to success in political contests.
 The gathering broke up about mid night with three cheers for the Demo- cratic club of Wilcox.

Michael Pagan, of Harshsw, who in 1878 with Dave Harshaw and three or four others. first located the Hermosa group, died yesterday morning. The Citizen says he was taken sick with pneumonia last Saturday night, and heinz a large man weighing about 22O pounds, was unable to stand the at- tack. He was about AS years old and came to Arizona IS years ago from Kansas City where it is understood a brother now lives. The verdict of olI mI1ing men in Tucson who have known him for years is that a winter, honester, squarer man than Mike Pagan never stood in Arizona. He will be buried at Harshaw.

Lost.

All efforts to discover the where abouts of W. D. Monmonier, probate judge and school superintendent have proved futile. The sheriff has hunted for him, Supervisor Nichols has hunt. ed for him, half dozen citizens from the country have industriously search ed for him in order to transact pro- bate business, but the hunt was fruit less. A rumor that he had gone to Phoenix in the interests of the Repub- lican central committee was denied by members Q! that body. Members of his family are unaware of his whereabouts. Telegrams have been sent to many points during the last A hours.
 LATER MT. Monmonier has t. rued up in PhoenIx. Whether he intends to stay wi;n the boom or return is unknowo. The interests of the coun- ty are suffering and the supervisors should take cognizance of the fact that there is vacancy in the office of pro- bate judge.

The Druggists

fn Lowell, Mass, agree in saying thaa they sei more of Hoods sarsapsrilis than of all Ser blood purifiers. For instance:
 7. C. GooDALE: sell more Of Hoods sarsa- Iari!la than all other blood purifers
 4. w. Dows & Co.,: Hoods takes the lead of Fl other sarsapariIlas.
 C. ?. BLANCHARD: We sell more of Hood's F. 'aHarilla than of any similar.
 IARsros & SHAW: With us the sale of Hoods is to l of any other kind.
 r. ( F. BAILEY & Co: Hoods ssrsaparilla is one of the best medicines.
 CARLTON & HovEY: Hoods sarsaparslla is one Of the best medicines we have. Its sale inrrra %. every year. C
 r. P EooDY: We sell twice as much of Hoods sarsaparil,a as of anything similar
 C. A. SWAN: Foods is the most popular sarsaparilla of IT.. Gay.
 THiErY ornrr ts-;ists speak similarly. This popularity at home. where Hood's ssrssnarlla and its proprietors have been known for many years, could not continue if the medicine did not possess ray..s. And these facts should certainly convince people in other sections of the country that Hoods sarssparilla Is q good. reliable medicine.

MRS. HALLIDAY BREAKS OUT.
Tried to Choke to Death the Wife of Sher-
 if Beecher.

MoNrICELLo N. Y, Nov. l5.-The mur- awaiting trial for killing her husband and the wife of Sheriff Beecher. As Mrs Hal liday is either insane or stimulating insani- ty, Il close watch has been kept over her to prevent her injuring herself. At the same time she has been treated with kindness and consideration.
 Mrs. Beecher on Monday entered Mrs. Halliday's cell and as usual engaged in conversation. Mrs Halliday seemed to be in quiet frame of mind. Mrs. Beecher happened to turn her back to the prisoner. when the latter sprang upon her and caught her by the throat.
 The murderess is possessed of great strength, and she quickly bore Mrs. Beecher backward toward the floor. Mrs. Beecher steadied herself against the wall, and al though small woman fought desperate ly. She threw her hands behind her, seized Mrs. Hallidays dress and turned to one side as she was forced to her knees. This loosened Mrs. Hallidayis hold, and Mrs. Beecher kept her away until a jailer came to Mrs. Beecher's rescue Mrs. Halliday is now closely watched.
 Her object, it is believed was to create the impression that she is subject to sud den impulses of homicidal mania. Mrs. Beecher is utterly prostrated by the as sault. Only the jailer is now permitted to enter the cell. Sheriff Beecher says he threads the ordeal of arraigning Mrs Halli- day in court He thinks that it may be necessary to arraign her in a straight jacket
