Speaking of the reports that Japan seeks
to annex Hawaii, Ito denies this emphat-

would refuse them. They are too far away
to be OF any use to us. B sides, Japan

Sketch Of the Career Of the Man
Nominated as Arizona'S
Chief Executive.

PHI GN1X. ARIz., May 19.-The news
came from Washington early this morn
ing that Myron H. McCord had been ap-
pointed Governor of Arizona and Charles
Akers S cretary of the Territory.
In spite of the fierce and prolonged
struggle made against the appointment of
McCord by at least half of the Republican
party of the Territory, there is general re-
joicing tonight and every evidence of
harmony in the party. streets of
Phoenix are ablaze with bonfires, and the
torchlight procession is greater than those
OF last fall.
n. A. Morford, who led the home fig ht
against McCord, declares his allegiance to
the new Governor, believes that the ap-
pointment will harmoniZe the warning
factions in the Republican party and that
McCord will make an able executive
officer.
Charles H. Akers, the new Secretary of
the Territory, is well-known Prescott
man whose appointment gives general
satisfaction.
At the ratification meeting held tonight
there were present representatives of all
the hitherto warning factions. and all of
them expressed their desire to bury the
hatchet
1t is believed that Ex-Governor Hughes,
under whose brief and troublesome adj
ministra,ion McCord held an important
Office, will be rendered similar position
by the new Governor. 1t is generally be-
lieved that the President knew the fate of
his nominations in the Senate before he
made them, and that McCord will be
speedily confirmed.
Myron H. McCord is the original Nc
Kinley man of Arizona, and at one time
served in Congress with the man who is
now President. He was born in Mckean
County. Pa. November 26, 1910, and in the
public schools of that county received his
education.
He engaged in the lumber business in
1854. locating at Shawano, Wis, where he
remained until 1874. lie subsequently
removed to Merrill, in that State, where
he engaged in the manufacture OF sash.
doors and blinds most successfully until
1884, when he became banker ana was
one of the organizers of the First National
Bank anG director in the same. During
the years 1878. IA, '75 and 80 and 81, he
was mem Der of the Wisconsin Legisla-
tuIe, and in 1883 he was elected from the
Ninth District of Wisconsin a member of
Congress on the Republican ticket, serving
one term.
In 1898 he came to Arizona and located
at Phoenix, where he engaged in farming
and fruit-raising, which still continue to
claim his attention. He owns fine ranch
and has fifty acres in fruit. In March,
1895. he was appointed citizen me mber of
the Board of Control, and had charge in
part of the charitable, penal and reforma-
tory institutions of the Territory.

A Pathetic Incident of One OF the Bat
ties of the Civil War.

"A Pathet1c incident OF One OF the Bat
ties of the Civil War.
William Wilkerson, who was for many
years jailer at Fayette County, and who
was noted for his fidelity to truth related
the following pathetic incident of heroism
which he witnessed shortly after the bat
tie of Richmond, KY. in 1862:
"a son of my friend, Hon. Cassius M.
Clay, was killed in the fight at r chm ond,
and it was my duty to visit the battlefield
to identify the body and take it to his
fathers home. While riding slowly over
the scene of the battle l heard groans.
which / was sure came from a cornfieId
near at hand. Looking down the corn
rows l soon discovered two wounded SOL
diers lying about forty yards apart. One
was a Federal and the other was a Con-
federate. A cannon ball had broken and
terribly mangled both OF the Confed crate =
legs while the Federal was shot through
the body and thigh.
"'I am dying for water heard the
Federal say just as discovered them. His
words sounded as if they came from a
parched mouth.

You are welcome to drink If you'll come
here, said the Confederate, who had
fee bly raised his head from the ground to
pitiful cry for water.
".I couldn't move to save nv life.
groaned the Federal. as he dropped his
head to the ground, while his whole BODY
quivercd with agony.
"Then beheld an act of heroism which
held me spellbound until it was too late
fo- me to give the assistance should have

again and took another look at his
wounded foe, and l saw an expression of
tender pity como over his pain -distorted
face as he said:

by digging his fingers in the ground and
catching hold of the cornsralks, painfully
dragged himself to the FederaPs side, the
blood from his mangled legs making a red
trail the entire distance. The tears ran
down my cheeks like rain, and, out of
sympathy for him, / groaned every time

once think of helping him.
when the painful journey was finished
he offered his canteen to the Federal. who
took it and drank eagerly, the water seem

he reached out to the Confederate, and 1t
was plain to see as they clasped hands
and looked into each others ewes that
whatever of hate may have ranked once
in the hearts of these men had now given
place to mutual sympathy and love. Even
while watched Them l saw the Confed-
crates body quiver as if in a spasm of
pain, and when his head dropped to the
ground knew that hero had crossed
the dark river. The Federal kissed the
dead hero's hand repeatedly and cried
like child until l had him removed to
the hospital, where he. too, died the next

Miss Winslow was never IN court, and it

they are famishlng.
