The town took on some of its
old-time sporting airs, Saturday.
Several races took place that day

and one of Beaty's men was won
by the home horse.
DIR. Homsher is experimenting
this spring by setting out a lot of

AN ATTEMDT AT MURDER.
Michael Scanlon MysteriousIy Beaten
 Into InSenSibiIifY.

An attempt at murder was commit ted along the read south of Center street some time on Wednesday night. About 9 o'clock yesterday morning an old man named Michael Scanlon was found in field not far from the road side beaten into insensibility. The blows had been directed chiefly against the right side of his head. The right eye was swollen and black and there were numerou cuts and con- tusions.
 Word was sent to Dr. Wylie, who came and examined the old man. He was unable to revive him. though now and then he seemed to be recovering consciousness, and Cnce he put his hand upon his pocket and said: They got all my money,' from which it is concluded that he was the victim of an assault for purposes of robbery.
 It was the doctors opinion that the skull had been fractured. He was taken to the county hospital. He is past sixty years of age and follows the business of a freighter, or rather a peddler among mining A1eamps. He had been camping south Of town for some time It was noticed yesterday morning that his horses were loose and it was this circumstance that led to his discovery, for he lay at some distance from his camp in an unfrequented spot.
 Officers visited the place and found that a wagon had been turned around near the spot where the old man lay, but there were no marks of a struggle.

AN IMpOuNDED MARE
She Cost More Than inc Price of an
 Opera Ticket.

J. Ernest Walker nd family went to hear and see "Olivette" last Tuesday night MT. Walker tied his trusty mare, whose name is not Oivette, though she cost more than the price of the play before the night was over, in front of his office. When he went to get her all that remained of her was a rope hai,er tied to a post. Mr. Walker chartered a street car to take his family home. Yesterday morning he instituted a search for the mare. He learned that she was at the Dublin corral reyeling in alfalfa at $S ton and barley worth $1.35@1.40 per cWt. He hurriedIy redeemed her for S2. On his way home a man on the sidewalk hailed him and told him that he owed him $3 for catching his horse the n -ght before Mr. Walker promised to pay. He later learned that Constable Frank McClintoek was in some way implicated in the apprehension Of the mare and was probably engaged at that moment in making up cost bill. MT. W walker was almost sorry that the mare did not succeed in making her escape. He wished at least that some of the people engaged in her capture had let her go.

IN GILA AND GRAHAM,
Colonel Brodie Will Gel GiIe and Run
 We'll in Graham.

Clifton, Ariz, Nov. 1.-(Special cor respondence of The Repubican-)-The Brcdie party left Globe Sunday morn ing and were driven to the terminus of the Gila Valley, Globe & Northern rail- way where a special train took the party on 70 Bowie. Superintendent Jones of the c. V. c. & N. accompa- nied the party. Stops were made at Geronimo, Stafford and SClomcnville, and at each Of these places numbers of people were at the depot. Chaplain Winfield Scott, who remained at Saf- ford, occupied the pulpit of ths church there Sunday morning. Chaplain scott made a good impression at Saffcrd and the other places where he spoke. At Lordsburg, N. M, a special train had bean sent by MT. James Colquhoun to meet the party. A stop was made at Duncan, where. 2 large crowd of cow boys had ccngregated to meet Colonel Brcdie. Fiftecn minutes were consuIn- ed in kandshakings and social inter course. When the tran arrived at Clifton there was a repetition of the Bisbee reception. James Colquhoun and Colonel Mark Egan of the Arlzona Copper company, and other prominent citizens were at the I9pOC U 1nseL CCl- onel Brodi=, Governor Murphy, Mrs. Murphy and Mrs. G. w. Vickers. Gov ernor Murphy presented Colonel Brc- die. Judge Wright and G. w Niclers to the large number Of prominent citI- i zens MT. and Mrs. James Colquhoun entertained the party at luncheon. A special train took the party to Morenci ! on a visit to the great mines of tke Arizona Copper company. The Mo rcnci camp is one Of the oldest in Ari- zona. These mines have been con stant producers since 1871, and today rank among the first of the copper pro ducers of the world.
 Over at Globe the republicans ar
 hopeful of carrying Gila county thlS

Several miners, who formerly worked for Cclo- nel Brodia at his Crown Point mine, are at work in the mines at Globe, and they called to see him while he was there Like all men who have worked for Colonel Brodie, these men are his strongest supporters, and they gre let ting ths miners of the camp know that he has always been a good friend to t-e workingman. In all the mining camps there are miners who have bsen employed by CoIoncl Brcdie and their influence among their class will be shown on November 8. The vote il Globe. Bisbee and Clifton will be a surprise to a great many people, and I do not believe that Colonel Brodie fully appreciates his strength in these camps.
 The BrCdie party will go from here to Pcarce and Tombstone, from Tomb stone to Yuma, and then to Phoenix Mesa and Jerome Colonel Brodie will spend the last few days of the cam paign in Yavapai county al Mayar, Big Bug and ether mining centers in that section. He is suffering with a bad cold. and the end of the campaign viii 10 doubt be welcomed by him.

THE SISTERS HOSPITAL.
What Is Done Must Be Done at
 Once.

Unless something mere is done this week the hospital Of the Sisters of Mercy will almost certainly be re- moved frcln Phoenix to Albuquerqua. The Mother Superior is now here and though she has given no recsnt int nation of her intention it is probable that she will decide in a day or two what she will do.
 The effort made a month ago in favor Of retaining the hospital was so promising of success that there seemed no doubt that the institution would remain in Phoenix. All at once the ef- fort ceased, not that it did not meet with q favorable. response, but prob ably because the promoters felt so sure that it could be successfully taken up at any time and that a day would be as good as a month.
 The following annual subscriptions for a period of five years had been re- 1o+

He had great difficulty in securing
medicines, he said, and had to buy
drugs out of a private fund.
DR.. Thomas c. Chalmers, captain and
assistant surgeon of the Twelfth New
York, who saw six weeks service in
Porto Rico, testified that at Chicka-
mauga his regiment could not only not
get medicines, but could not even get
blanks to make requisition for them,
In regard to the transport Massachu-
setts, on which he went to Porto Rico,
Dr. Chalmers said; There was no
regular cooking on board, and the men
We're unused to eating cold rations.
The reserve hospital men were sup
posed to have been well men, but sub
sequent events proved that they did
not have enough to eat. The men never
could get enough water to satisfy their
thirst. Ice water was sold at $1.25 a
pitcher. The matter was reported, but
the custom was not stopped. The
mules and horses on board went for "a
hours at one time without water"
Lieutenant Colonel James Parker, of
the Twelfth New York, said that when
the troops arrived at Chickamauga the
men had to sleep on the wet ground,
with only one blanket and no change
of clothing. when the volunteers first
arrived at Chickamauga," said Colonel
Parker, their tongues were literally
hanging out for water. For three weeks
they could not get water enough to
uuench their thirst Then the pipe
lines were laid, but the water the men
got was not pure"
