Tucson Star: At the first general election held in Arizona, several can dIidaltes were before the people, for the place of delegate to congress, viz: Chas. ID. Poston, Steamboat Adams, Doctor Lieb and Bill Bradshaw. c. D. Poston was elected, mainly through the dnfuence and popularity of J. Ross Browne. t'Steamb boat" Adams shortly afterwards drifted out of public sight, and was heard from no more Doctor Lieb, author of ''Six Months in the Quartermaster Department or How to Make a Million," took his defeat so badly that soon after the returns were in, took to his bed and soon died Bill Bradshaw finally succumbed to his life long failing, and i'm a fit of despon- dency committed suicide by cutting his thraot with draW-knife, on the Big Colorado river.

The Phoenix shooters fell in with the idea and told MT. Wilding that his ambition was a worthy one and should be gratified. They would order a medal for him. They did so but didnit order it a jeweler. The construction of the medal was left to harnessmaker and he got up the most ornate leather medal ever carried in triumph ito Tucson. It con- sists of two pieces Sealloped and sewed together. To heighten the effct the end of a beer bottle was inset like a big diamond. The whole thing was made pendent to a huge safety pin like those worm by horses to secure their blank cts.
