TREASURER SUED.
D. L. Murray Sued by the County tc Recover Sums Paid to Kirkland.

District Attorney Jerry Millay on behalf of the county yesterday filed suit against Treasurer ID. L. Murray to re- cover ldhe sum of s709 paid out by Mr. Murray to Brent Kirkland, clerk of the board of supervisors
 The complaint alleges that the treas urer paid that sum to Kirkland without an order for payment being issued by the board of supervisors. It was after the Tewksberry murder case was tried in Tucson and several Maricopa county warrants were sent over here for col lection.
 Kirkland, who was then clerk, cashed the warrants, representing to the treasurer that he was aching for the original holders of the warrants. He was paid lthe money, but not one cent did he refund to the owners of the warrants. Under the circumstances nothing could be done but to hold the treasurer responsible MT. Murray acted in good faith, but his confidence in Kirkland was misplaced

WITHOUT HIS CLOTHES.
An Insane Man Creates Sensation in
 Unconventional Attire.

The habitues of the Palace saloon were very much startled about mid night Sunday by the sudden appearance of an individual clad in natures garb with the exception of a shirt tied around his loins. With that exception not another stitch did he have on.
 This individual rushed up to a faro table and said he would bet $450, 900 on the queen. He then rushed out on the sidewalk and told tIhe crowd that he had made big bet and if he won they would all have a roaring old time.
 The strange appearance and actions of the man proclaimed him a mnatic and Billy Blankenship escorted him to the city jail
 His mind ran in many channels, but only from his talk would he be taken for an insane person. He did not know his name, butt a man named John Gagnon, a Frenchman, said he had known the fellow for six years, but only knew him by his sobriquet of Fresno" He said Fresno had come l in from Globe about three days ago, but until Sunday night he gave no evidence of being of unsound mind.
 He was examined yesterday after noon by Probate Judge Grouse, and he admitted that he had been an inmate of the asylum alt Napa, Cal, where he stayed for a year. His folks, who live in Fresno, Cal, secured his release, but he ran away from home and shipped before the mast on a vessel bound for Australia It was on board the ship that the Frenchman, Gagnon, met him. Upon coming back to this country Fresno travelled hither and hhither, finally bringing up at Globe. He got on a spree there and for awhile was insane, but recovered. He then came to this city, where he ran across his old shipmate, "Frenchy."
 His remarks to the probate judge were rambling. He did not know what had become of his clothes, where he stopped, or anything about his movements in this city. He claimed to be a great bicycle rider and said that he and Ali Hooker were going to ride a tandem to Sen Francisco, travelling on the telegraph wires all the way. He said his name was Jack Richmond ol Harrison, but he had a good many other names. He was sent to the asylum

WASHINGTON, Got. 12.-The de- mand which has been made upon the Republican committee from all sec- tions of iahe country for the services of Speaker Reed in this campaign is de- scribed at Republican headquarters as simply enormous. In reply to a letter tMr. Reed writes as follows to Chair man Baibcock: 'T am very glad that you have some of the letters which might unfortunately come to me, for ann very much disturbed by them. The country being rather large, and I being only one, it is impossible to con- ply with 10 per cent of the requests that are made If some of the people whom I have to refuse knew how I hated to do it, I should have their compassion instead of less tender feeling"

DIED IN AWFUL AGONY.
Heroic Remedy Fatal to d Sick Indian.

Out near the yellow hosomed Little Colorado river, where the waters churn and malrmur menacingly just before they leap in frenied fury down over the jagged abyss of the Grand falls, a Navajo Indian lay ill of fever, says the Williams News.
 The magic of the medicine man was of no avail. Around the campfire were gathered the red brothers of the sick man. Suddenly they broke into weird incantations to invoke the inter position of the Great Spirit The sick mans condition did not improve, so Charley Mclean of Flagstaff, who has spent many years among the Navajos, and who was the only white man pres ent upon this occasion, was appealed to. Now Charley is something of a | wild and woolly vocalist himself, so in order to save a life he broke into the most plaintive melody imaginable. The night birds tuneful throat was in- stantly hushed. The Indians became awed and silent, but the sick man tossed uneasily upon his blanket and groaned with the agony of tortured soul.
 Charley tried everything in his ex- tensive repertoire-from dancing a hornpipe to the soft and sweetly flow ing melody of mothers lullaby Finally he tackled After the Ball"
 There was a sudden gasp from the direction of the sick man, a feeble groan and convulsive twitching of tbe frame that attracted the attention o1 the strange circle.
 The Indian was deadi

Joe Beard and Dan Jones, white men, became involved in quar- rel while eating supper and decided to settle the trouble on the spot. Both seized large cleaving knives and in the light of the campfire the men clinched and began cutting and slashing each other. The fight continued until the men were cut and stabbed out of all human semblance and fell to the floor from sheer exhaustion and loss of blood. Both men were mortally wounded.

Enthusiastic Turnout of Republicans
 Saturday Night.

GLENDALE, Ariz., OdE. 12.-Special Correspondence of The Republican. .)- A meeting was held at the school house Saturday night, for the purpose of completing the organization of the Glendale Mckinley club.

The principles adopted by the club were: That we ac- cept Ehe platform of the National Re publican convention as framed at St. Louis, believing it to be consistent with the doctrines of Republicanism, and one that can be accepted by all i loyal citizens who cherish the honor and progress of our country.
 That this club demands legislation that will materially reduce rates for transportation of passengers, freight and express on the railroads doing business within the boundaries of this territory, believing that it will be the means of developing the resources of the territory and of material benefit to every industry and inhabitant
 We favor statehood, believing thai with our admission to the Union ot states, we will receive the considera- tion and utilization of the entire Union believing that our resources and pop ulation will be equal to all demands upon us as to our fitness to enter the Union.
 l We believe that it would be to the best interest of the taxpayers of Mari copa county that all county officers be salaried and that the fees be turned over to the treasurer of said county.
 Judge Grouse, Thomas F'lannigan, F w. Sheridan and F. H. Parker were present and addressed the meeting.
 The club decided to attend tht meating at Phoenix Friday night in { body. Every Republican of Glendale and vicinity is invited to go. Specia rates on the railroads will be obtained and badges furnished to every one Further particulars will be announced later

It's a Landslide to Mo-
 kinley.
Believes Bryan's Defeat Would
 Be Crushing.
He Places Missouri in the Mcnnniey CoIumn-Tammany will Knife
 the Ticket.

w. Bourke Cochran who passed through Missouri a couple of days ago in an interview said he was strongly of tihe belief that Missouri would go for Mckinley.
 He believes it to be impossible thai the eminent Democrats he met at St Louis and elsewhere have entered upon revolt without a following. He ac- cepts each of them as a type standing for many rather than all of them as a census of all in rebellion. ':It is my beIief," he said, 'that Mis- sotri will give Mckinley 100000 ma jority.'
 Cochran has not changed mudh in recent years. He is still the same heavy Ibodied, ponderous, thick -jawed man that he was when in tbhe tempest of the night he spoke at Chicago, in | 1892, Tammany's forceful antagonisan to Cleveland. In the exigencies of the campaign he has made the trifing sac rifioe of his mustache. His voice has | thickened somewhat with hoarsenesk brought on by much use, but in all else he is the same vigorous, forceful man. Of idne general situation Mir. Cochran
 has no doubt. Its landslide,' he says, Ito Mckinley Every northern stafe will cast its vote for him." 1 SYou have some western boundary for the prediction was asserted, in terrogatively.
 'tNou at all," he answered Some
 mining camp staltes, like Colorado or
 Utah, may vote for Bryan, but my
 prediction sweeps from the Atlantic to
 the Pacific. Of ltihe south I do not
 speak so positively. Maryland and
 West Virginia, I am sure, will vote fos Mckinley So from all hear wiIa
 Kentucky But it is idle to discuss
 individual states-Bryan will be the
 worst defeated candidate>in recent his tory"
 Bryan and Cochran were in the house together and in many a spat the New
 Yorker always had it in his power tG
 taunt the Nebrashan to angry utter
 anee. Bryan then, as now, spoke
 through his sympathies. Cochran was past master in the use of sarcasm
 the verbal dynamite of the one was aa-
 ways exploded againsa- the Spanish castles of the other Of Bryan's cam
 paign he speaks with "a knowledge Of the man, but always, of dourse, from an
 entirely unsympatheic Cochran point
 of view.
 "It is a campaign of emotion ad-- dressed to prejudice" he declared, and have no doubt of the result. I be- , lievei in it as I believe in the perpea1ity of the republic and for the same reason believe that great majority of the
 American people have a common
 sense and that a campaign of over
 wrought hysterical sentiment cannot ,, prevail. It is because I believe thaE with all the faith that is in me that the result appears entirely unobscured. Mckinley will be the next president as sure as I am riding in this car and hs will be elected by the larges- majority in recent years
 Of Tammany, MT. Cochran, though long its implement and joy, speaks , now in ignorance. He is no longer of the wigwam.
 ! 50 far as resolutions are con- cerned," he says, ives, Tanmany is . suppoIsfng Bryan, but votes are a diff : ferent matter. Tammany cannot hold 2 its forcel LIS campaign. Great nm 7, bers of its followers will knife the ticket"

The Commercial Appeal, con-
servative paper, comments as fol-
lows on a recent victory gained by
the Cuban insurgents:
The tall and destruction of Pinar
del Rio, the Spanish stronghold in
the western part of Cuba, is a
serious and in all probability a fatal
blow to Spanish Supremacy in that
island, The town was given to the
flames and wiped off the nap. The
deadIiness of the blow appears in
the fact that it was the Spanish
base of supplies for operations in
that region. 1t leaves the Spanish
troops practically without protec-
tion against the malaria and yell
low fever that scOurge that region
when the rainy season begins, IT
is by far the most important vic
tory the insurgents have achieved
1t was gained by them chiefly by
the skill and valor of the American
volunteers and the deadly Gatling
anu Hotchkiss guns manipulated by
them.
