There was a time not many years
ago, when cakewalking was an art.
At he present time 1t has degenerated
into an industry. In the days when
Dandy Jack Smith. VIII Proctor and
Ebenezer Webster contested for the
cake. Chesterfield and Beau Brummel
applauded them from the shades; but
Smith has gone over to the majority

Cakewalking in New York city at

official returns would be found to be 155 votes out of the way.
 It is further stated that in several precincts ballots containing a cross in the square under the republican wig nette, but with no cross in the other squares of the same column, but with cross in the square in front of Mur- rays name in the democratic column, were counted for Murray.
 Other ballots with a cross in the square under the republican vignette, also marked with a cross in front of the name of some other democratic candidate than Murray, were rejected
 Other ballots had a square under the republican vignette and had all the names of the democratic candidates crossed out. This was an emphatic and unmistakeable disapprovaI of the whole democratic party, yet these bal lots were rejected. Three such ballots were thrown out in East Phoenix No 1, and 4 in West Phoenix No 2
 In still other ballots there was a cross under the republican vignetta and the erasure of names in the same col umn other than the name of the con- destant. Such ballots were also reject ed. Four of these appeared in Tempe, in East Phoenix No. 2, and in West Phoenix No. 9

THE SHERIFF FIGHT.
The Bdrk.Murrdy Contest
 Begun Yesterday.
The ConfeSfant'S-C Complaint CIainS a Majority of Almost I5O for inc Republican Candidate.

The Bark-Murray election contest was instituted late yesterday afternoon by the filing by MT. c. F. Ainsworth in behalf of the contestant for the of flee of sheriff of Maricopa county for the next two years, of a statement and complaint setting forth at great length the grounds upon which the contest Is made; and praying for recount.
 The complaint recites that the action is begun within dhe statutory forty days after the return day of the elec- ticn.
 The election returns showed that in the twenty-four precincts into which the county is divided the contestant of sheriff, and the contestee- Murray 1,702 votes; that there were 3,510 votes cast.
 The contest is generally made on ac- count of the malconduct on the part of the. judges and inspectors n refusing to count the full number of votes cast for the contestant, and in unlawfully counting tor the contestee votes which were not cast for him. Then follows a description Of the ballot. The con- testant states that he cannCl state in each case the exact reasons why votes cast for him were rejected or why oth- CTS were counted for the contestee.
 The following statement is then made: In East Phoenix precinct No. 1, 10 votes which should have been counted for Bark were rejected, and five votes which should have been re- jected were counted for Murray.
 In East Phoenix precinct No. 2. P votes were counted for Murray which should have been counted for Bark.
 In West Phoenix precinct No. 1, z votes were counted for Murray which should have been counsed for Bark
 In West Phoenix precinct No. 2, 15 votes were counted for Murray which should have been counted for Bark
 In other precincts there were votes counted for Murray that should have been counted for Bark, as follows: Mesa, votes; Tempe, 8; Alhambra, ?; Peoria, 1 Cartwright, I; Glendale, ]; Orme, 2; Riverside, l. Gila Bend, 2; Agua Caliente, 2; Cave Creek, 2; Lehi, 2; Alma, 6; Johnsdone, 2.
 Beside these it is stated that in the following precincts there were votes rejected which should have been count ed for Bark: Buckeye, 2 votes; Gila Bend, 2; Cave Creek, 1; Alma, 5, and Johnstone, 1. Wickenburg, according to the returns, gave Bark 20 and Mur- ray 2S. The complaint states that 22 should have been counted for Bark, and 26 for Murray.
 If the foregoing contentious should be sustained a recount would give Bark majority of 146 over Murray, or the

his party made their first stop. They
had been there a few days when PARA
sent a member of his band to Meraz
and inquired the nature of their bust
ness in that section. Meraz informed
the man that he and the other men,
purpose of buying mules. This state
ment allayed the suspicion of PARA
and his men, and they resumed their
acts of depreciation. Meraz and his
posse went to q point near the rendez-
vous of the bandits and went into am
bush They waited several hours for
the robbers to appear and were finally
rewarded by the latter coming through

within reach the officers fired on the
brigands, and the latter at once re-
turned the volley. Parra's body was
riddled with bullets, but all of his men
took flight on their horses and ESCAPED.
None of the officers were wounded.
PARA was made prisoner several
times, and served long terms in the
prison at Durango. In 1880 he was
drafted into the regular army, but
very soon deserted, after killing SEN
try and wounding the sergeant in COM
mand of the guard. In company with
several members of his band he made
an assault on the Santa Lucia hacienda
short time ago. They committed
murders and highway robberies in
great numbers. They laid waste grow
ing crops. set fire to pastures, killed
breeding stock. and committed many
other kinds of nameless outrages. The
band spread such terror among the
people of that section that the owners
of the hacienda paid PARA contribu-
ton of several Thousand dollars to Sc
cure immunity to their families and
their property. The government of
the state has paid reward OF 1000
for the killing of the bandit PARA. A
number of private parties have made
presents of great value to the party

Col. James A. LsRue, secretary of

is advised that the disease of blacking
is raging among the cattle herds Ia
San Juan and western Grant counties.
In the former county, 1t Is claimed,
the disease was introduced from Colo
RADIO, where many herds are known to
be afflicted with the disease, and the
cattle men have appealed to the sani-
tary board to know what they shall do
to exterminate 1t. Col. LaRue has
fully advised them. He said this
morning: "This is not contagious
but an Infectious disease that is very
throughout the western cOun-
against it by vaccination. Many of
the cattle raisers about Las Vegas VAC
cinated their herds this fall, using
virus which 1 procured from the u. s.,
bureau of animal industry. When
once it breaks out there is no known
cure for the disease. 1t must be killed
off by heroic measures. The best way
is to destroy completely the whole
CARCASS. They should be burned or
deeply buried. so that wild animals
cannot uuesrth them. Many ranch
men skin the beasts that die from this
disease, but this is a great mistake, for
the hide serves to spread the infcc-
ton. ''-Las Vegas Optic.

The authorities in this city are we'll
pleased with the news they have re-
ceived of the killing of Ignacio PARA,
one of the most notorious bandit lead
ers in Mexico. PARA made his rem
devious in the mountains of the State
of Durango, and has committed innu-
merable crimes in that part of the
country. His depredatiOns became so
bold that the authorities of the State
of Durango determined upon his cap
ture or death. A posse of officers,
headed by Octavio Meraz. went in
search of the bandit. They learned
that he was in the vicinity of the ranch
OF Francisco Irszoqui, and it was at
the home of this man that Meraz and
