to meet the colcnel And there were many others who came just as far. The Rough Riders who have returned to Coconino county have spread the fame Of their commander to every part of the county, and the cowboys are here t. see the hero of Las Guasimas and shake his hand.
 Henry Sellers of the Rough Riders. Who lives hare, went to Flagstaff to meet Colonel Brodie and with Rough Riders Hogan and Jackson took great deal of pleasure in intrc ducing their friends 10 the colonel Sellers is one cf the bsst riders in northern Arizona. Not long previous to their departure from Montauk Cc,onel Roo -evelt want cd to get one Of the Rough Riders ro mount broncho which was cne of the most untanable animals among the hlrses of tha regiment. He called up- On Sellers to do the trick, and he did it to the satisfaction of Teddy and the ether Rough Riders who were present. Colonel Roosevelt had snap shots talk en as the brcnchO was in various bcne- breaking body contorticns. Roosevelt IS writing history of the Rough Rid CTS for Scribner's and some of these pictures will illustrate the first article cf the series. Speaking Of the exhi- bitten, Mir. Sellers said: 'I did not want to ride and make an exhibition of myself, but all the other boys were in disposed, and the colonel wanted me to, and that settled it. The b-oncho had thrown s-me of he bcys and I reckon -,hey expected to see me gc too. She sure got up and sifted, but she couldn't get me of" Colonel Brcdie paid very high compliment to Mr. Sellers be- fore a group Of Williams people today. He said there was no braver soldier in the regiment. and every one liked him. Mir. Sellers was de5ailed to assist in the burial Of Captain Buckley O'Neill, and he was very near 10 the captain when he was killed
 Hon. E. s. Clark came over from Flagstaff with the Brodie party this morning. Mir Clark is not a candidate for 'cfhce. but he takes an active in teres- in the campaign. and is one Of the best workers in the republican l l L. ter reasons for wanting statehood for Arizona than most folks.'' said MT. Clark to me this morning. T have never in my life voted for president, and I don't want tc die without this honcT- I refuse to lsaye Arizona. and l am getting older every year. | think there is a chance to swing Arizona in to statehood by eiec,ing Colonel Bro die, and I intend tc stay awake until election day in working fo- the cclo- nel. l feel tha. the fight is already won, and I am already trying to real iZe what he sensation is to vote on questions we have discussed in Ari- zcna just fer the sake of trying to make ourselves believe that we really had something to do with deciding them at the polls. At any rate. I am going to stay here until I can vote the national ticket, but I feel sanguine that it will not be a long wait. It will be in 1900, mark my prediction"
 
 Williams was democratic town up tc Il o'clock today, when Colonel Bro die, Judge Wright of Tucson, Territor- ial Auditor Vickers, E. s. Clark of Flagstaff and a number of ether promi- rent republican leaders arrived in town. $ brass band net the party at the depot and played some of the na- tional airs There was large crowd at the depc. to welcome Colonel BIodie, and they had chosen a number Of prominent republicans to escort the party to the Grand Canyon hotel, among th5m being George U- Young and Ernest H. Simpson. The stars and stripes foated in the light morn ing breeze from a number Of f1agstaffs and house tops, a cannon balched forth deafening salutes as the train pulled in and a band cf COW punchers gal loped along with the train until it came to a stop. when they les out a real, live cowboy yell, and as they did so the fiagsaaffs quivered and the flags waved their stars and stripes with new fervor. There is no question about the sentiment here. Williams will be- come a republican ;.Cwn n the Sth Ct November, and Colonel Drodie will re- ceive a majority Of votes that will make him feel as good as did the re- ception he was rendered this morning.
