M. H. McCord Has Strong Love for the
 Loaves and Fishes

M. H. McCord has concluded that he will not turn over the books and effects of the office of citizen member of the board of control without a struggle. Yesterday afternoon he was waited upon by T. J. Wolfley, the new ap- pointee, in company with Attorney General J. F. Wilson, and formal de- mand was made upon him for pos session. This he quietly refused and the visitors retired.
 In about twenty minutes Colonel McCord was found by Sheriff Orme, who presented him with summons in an action of quo warranto, brought by the attorney-general on behalf of the territory, demanding that he ap- pear in court to show cause why he should not turn over the effects of the office to his legal successor.
 The complaint, filed shortly after 4 in the district clerks office, recites that T. J. Wol1ey is now the legal occupant of the cffice of citizen member of the territorial board of control, appointed June 1, 1896, and qualified by the filing of satisfactory bond June and that he is being kept from the exercise of his full functions of office by M. H. McCord; upon this showing it is asked that plaintiff recover of and from the said defendant the possession of the office, all costs in the action incurred and also the sum of $5,O00, the max mum penalty imposed by law, as fine for the usurpation of such office and as well for all general and special re lief. The complaint is signed Terri tory of Arizona, Plaintiff, by J. F Wilson, Attorney-General of Arizona Colonel McCord was seen by Re publican reporter at his office immedi- ately after the departure of Messrs Wilson and Wolfey, and by the re. porter was reminded of a statement made by him (McCord) few days ago wherein he expressed himself as sick of the office and as ready and willing and anxious to turn it over to any ap pointee who might appear with ere dentials.
 'Yes," said McCord; you quoted m. correctly. I did think that way at tha time, but you see I change my mind I will not turn over my office till an busted from it by legal means. I hay, been advised by my lawyers in my course and intend to hang on."

None of the candidates would cough up a red Why, down at the Block l know a man who used to run things for Buckley up in Frisco. He's smooth article, but of course isn't in life simply for fun. He has to be fixed. But I could have gone to him the day before election with a hundred plunks and he would have shown these geezers a thing or two.

A Holsters legs, iii t'l'l, are ten in
number, ba; only eight Of these are
largely used for walking. The front
pair, or big claws, have beeh specialized,
as in the crab, and most others Of the
higher crustaceans, mo prehensile or
gans for catching and crushing the prey.
Their use is obvious. HOLSTERS feed
largely of mollusks of various sorts and
other hard shelied marine animals In
order to be able TO break or crush the
shells of these and SO TO get Mt the soft
er flesh within they have acquired such
large and very muscular nippers or
pinchers. That is not all, however. Not
| only have the two front legs been differ
entiated and specialized from the eight
| others in this manner, but also, by n
| rare exception to the symmetry of the
body, the right claw has been special
lied from the left. each being intended
TO perform distinct function. One is q
scissors, the other is mill; one is q
cutter, the other is n cracker.
As a rule, the right claw is the slen-
derer and longer. 1t has toothlike pro-
jections or serratcd edges on its nipping
faces, and it is rather adapted for bit
ing and severing than for crushing or
grinding. The left claw, ON the other
hand, is usually thicker, heavier and
rounder. Its muscles arc more powerful.
ana III place OF sharp teeth il has blunt
tubercles or hammers of different Sizes
1t acts, in fact, more like q nut cracker
than like teeth or a saw. II is a smash
ing organ. Nevertheless you will find
it interesting to observe, by noting the
Holsters served to you at table, that this
differentiation has hardly as yet become
quite constant, for sometimes it is the
right claw that displays the hammerlike
nut cracker type and the left that acts
as nipper and bite, while sometimes no
difference occurs at all, both claws alike
being sharp toothed or blunt hammered
in the same specimen.-Longman' q
