PROBABLY the worst piece of road
in Audrain County lies within two
miles of Mexico-the road leading
north TO the Hardin farm. The over
eer of the district is powerless in the
matter of fixing it up as it ought to be,
because he hasn't sufficient funds. IL
the County Court will look at this road
they will, we feel quite sure, have it
graded up SO that people can travel
over it with safety and comfort. This
road would be a disgrace to Ozark or
fancy County.

Mr.. ii. @. PHILLIPS, of Mexico, has
handed the LEDGER a copy of the
S~anfrancisco Argonaut, which con-
tains u long editorial on the financial
question and claims that it is the poll
tieians and not the people in Califor-
mia who want 16 to l free silver with
out international agreement. The
following is taken from the editorial
referred to:
A number OF weeks ago the Argo-
Rant suggested the calling of a "mon-
etary convention" the members to be
chosen from business and professional
men rather than from among polite
ians. The suggested monetary con-
vention" was to be non partisan, and
it's object was to ascertain the feelings
of the people of California on the
question of the national finances and
the national currency. We said at the
time that California was always cited
as n free silver state, yet that the
politicians and the daily press seemed
to us to assume that the people were
in favor of free silver, without any
convincing evidence of that fact hay
ing yet been presented.
The present silver convention seems
to us to be in the same position. 1t is
composed principally of politicians
rather than of business men. 1t is re-
inforced by delegates from Nevada
n distinctively silver state, a state
whose main product has been silver,
and Il state which has already COM
mitted herself to silver by practically
expatriating all Democrats and Re-
publicans, driving both parties out of
her borders, and declaring that ''every
candidate for Office in Nevada must be
for free silver or get out" This may
be the Nevada way in politics, but it
does not strike us as being the Amer
lean way.

JACKSON HOLE. Urgent Appeal Sent for Troops to Protect The Affrighted Settlers
 in Swan Valley. Secretary Ryder of the Indian
 Department Says
That If the Whites Who Shot Down Sixteen indians Are Tried the
 Bannocks Will Disperse.
By the Associated Press.


 NEW YORK. July 31.-Secretary Ryder, of the Indian department of the American Missionary association, said concerning the Bannock Indian up- rising: "The Bannocks, under the laws of the government, are allowed to hunt. The game laws of Wyoming forbid this. A party of Bannocks killed lot of game in Wyoming. They were arrested and while being taken to jail, sixteen of the seventeen were shot down in their tracks, unsrmed. If the slayers of the Indians are promptly ar- rested and the Bannocks know they will be impartially tried and severely punished if found guilty. the uprising will at once be at an end." No means within reach of the department of the interior, he says, will be spared to bring the guilty parties to justice.
 MARKET LAKE. Ida, July 31.-A re- port considered reliable reached here that settlers in the Swan valley to tho number of sixty families, are huddled together near Cariboo, frightened by Indians. They have sent an urgent ap- peal for troops to protect them. A special courier has been sent to Gen. Coppinger and the matter referred to him. It is quite probable the troops from Fort Douglass will be ordered in via Market Lake.

THE ARIZONA DEMOCRAT
The Name of the New Even

Many Prominent Democrats Anx- ious to Help Establish the En-
 terprise-$2O,OOO of Stock.

The proposition to establish new Democratic evening newspaper met with great favor yesterday among the Democrats, and many who were not at the first meeting expressed themselves as anxious to help the project. One prominent Phoenix Democrat sub- scribed $3,000 to the stock and several Democratic ranchmen who were in the city yesterday asked that their names be enrolled among the stock holders for various sums.
 Another meeting was held last night and it was determined to make the subscription to the stock popular one and the books will be opened for the sale of $10 worth of stock up. This will give the many who desire to be identified with the enterprise an op- portunity.
 Already s2O,0O0 worth of the stock has been taken which insures the sue cess of the enterprise. The capital stock has been placed at $50, ,000 and it will be distrib ibuted all over the terri tory. The new paper therefore starts out under the most fattering auspices, and if it is a failure it will not be foY the lack of funds. The name of the paper is to be The Arizona Democrat

ROBBERS FOILED They Attempted to Get
 Into a Safe But Are Discovered in Time and Pursued. One of the Men COrnered in
 the Fourth Story.
He Knocks Several Men Down and
 Before He Is Captured.

By the Associated Press.
 CLEVELAND, O., July 31.-Two men attempted to rob the safe of the Bar tholomew Brewing company on Mlchi- gan street today. One engaged the bookkeeper in conversation while the other slipped in the rear office and when discovered by the bookkeeper, was busily at work on the safe. An alarm was rung and both thieves started down the street with crowd behind them yelling, "Stop thief" A policeman overlook one man who drew 8 revolver and after @ short struggle broke away with pair of handcuffs dangling to one of his wrists. The fugitive ran short distance and then turned and deliberately fired several shorts at the policeman, who returned the fire. None of the shots hit anyone.
 The thief dashed into building and reached the fourth floor and then he was cornered at window by several men. He knocked down several of his pursuers and threw three out of the window. There was roof of lower building just below the window and the men falling on this escaped safely. A policeman arrived at this point and with blow of his fist laid the fellow low. He gave the name of Joseph Rawson and said he was 28 years old The second thief was not captured.

ANOTHER VIEW OF IT.
Holders of Mining Claims Re-
 ceive a Nudge.
They Recognize at Last That Prospect Is. Not a Remarka-
 bIe Property.

General Churchill has recently re. turned from weeks tour through the mining regions this side of Prescott. Concerning one sign of general and lasting improvement in mining matters he said About eighty miles south of Prescott there is vast and rich mining region covered by hundreds of claims whose locations date back from one to thirty years.
 '"There has been almost no develop. ment, the locators having labored un- der misapprehension that the claims could be sold as mines. This had formerly been done but latterly pur- chasers have been unwilling to risk in- vestment upon such surface indications. In many instances the locators were unable to go on with the development and so during all these years, they have been performing annually the $l00 worth of work required by law. No attempt was made to procure the CO., operation of capitalists and this rich district has therefore been permitted to lie practically idle. Now miners are taking different view of the case and good prospects are being developed so that thelr real worth may be set before prospective purchasers"
 General Churchill says that rains have been abundant throughout that region, particularly along the divide be- tween the Hassayampa and Lynch creek and stockmen, as well as miners, are greatly encouraged.
