So far as the supreme court is concerned.
this question has not been squarely passed
upon by the supreme court of the United

huence the decision of afflant. who was
serving as juror in a matter pending in
the court, contrary to the form of the
statute. 1t appears from the record that
no arrest had been made at the time the
Indictment, which is bound up with this
complaint was found. and 1t may have
been, especially considering the meager-

of King county and orders the discharge Of
Armstrong, and was written by Justice
Dunbar and concurred in by the entire

out for Chavez to throw up his hands. but the desperade. insteaa of obeyinq the summons. reached for his ssreyolver. and the sheriff fired upon him with a big double barrelled shot gun. A large portion of the charge entered the chest of the outlaw, killing him in stantly.
 4 coroner's inquest was held the next day and Chavez was buried under tree near where he wasshot. Sheriff Wakefield then retuned to Tucson. arriving last night.
 The career of crime which Sheriff Wakefield cut short Saturday evening has been most hideous. Several years ago Chavez murdered his wife. and short time later he killed a fellow miner with shovel. Both of these crimes were committed in Sonora. Chavez then lied to Arizona. Less than two years ago he murdered a Chinaman at Rollin. Once more he escaped the gallows and secured em- ployment as railroad section hand at Crittenden, but had been at work only few weeks when he murdered his foreman, man by the name of Shep- ard. He was brought to the local jail to wait trial and all readers of the Citizen are familiar with the details of his escape. Chavez is known to have committed the four murders emu merated, and he is strongly suspected of several others.
 The revolver Chavez had upon him ai the time of his death belonged to Mir Il opley and was stolen from the jail office at the time he escaped.

PROSPEROUS FINAL.
An Extraordinary Activity in Mining Mat
 ters.
LFrom the Phoenix RepubIican.l

From the Phoenix Republican,
 Steve Bailey of Florence is in the city. The capital of Pinal, Mr. Bail ey says, is in better shape than it eyer was before. This new prosperity is largely due to the activity n the Min eral Creek district. Beside the old mines, which are being worked, pros pectors are constantly looking for new ones and are finding many of them. There is TO where else in Arizona so much activity throughout an entire district as there is in Mineral Creek. The improvements being nude are of an expensive and permanent charac- ter. A great deal of costly and up-to- date machinery is being put in; an automobile route from the Ray mine to Red Rock, on the Southern Pacific, has just been completed, and plans are maturing for several short railways. The faith in the district is proved by the money being invested. Several properties have lately changed hands and Joseph Mulhatton has cleaned up something like $S,000 within the last month in commissions. Mir. Mulhatton is connected with mining exchange, which The Republican lately gave free and extended advertisement. The news of Mir. Mulhatton's activity in mining matters explains why the late display of Leonids did not come up to popular expectations. When Mr. Null hatton is not otherwise engaged, he makes speciality of Leonids and other aerolites and meteors. He has cleo tri6ed the world by his discovery of more numerous and thrilling meteors than most astronomers see in life time. Mir. Mulhatton's discoveries have always been made in times of profound celestial peace, sD it is inter- esting to contemplate what he could have seen in a regular meteor season if he had not been so busy at some thing else. That is why nothing was heard from Florence amid the late gen. eral excitement.
 The territorial and United States district courts are now in session at Florence. Six of the federal prisoners under indictment have pleaded guilty and there are 8 great many more to be tried. Among them are a dozen eolored soldiers charged with murde rous assault on camp of peaceful Apaehes at San Carlos.
 MT. Bailey says that not fewer than 300 residents of Graham and Gila counties are now at Florence attending federal court, and nearly all of them are intending to visit Phoenix during carnival week.

The Planters Depsndsnoe on Good Seeds

The Planters Dependence on Good Seeds
 Without good, fresh, fertile seeds, good crops are impossible. IL is, then, of the most vital importance that you should exercise the greatest possible caution in selecting the seeds you are to plant the coming season. Since you cannot determine their fertility or freshness by sight, the only certain way to insure yourself against worth less seeds is to buy only those that bear the name of firm about whose reliability there is DO question. There are no better known seedsmen any where, and none who have higher reputation for integrity, than D. M. Ferry & Co.,, of Detroit, Mich. Ferry's Seeds have heen a synonym for good seeds for many years. Thousands of gardeners who continue to plant them season after season, do so with the full confidence that they will uniformly be found to be of high vitality, and most important of all, true to name.
 Ferry's Seed Annual for 1900 is fully up to the standard of former years and will be welcomed by all who have learned to regard it as a thoroughly reliable aud practical guide to plant ing. A copy may be obtained free by addressing the firm as bove.

4 GOOD JOB.
Luis Chavez Shot and Killed by Sheriff
 Wakefield.

From the Tucson Citizen.l
 Luis Chavez, one of the most fiendish criminals that Arizona ever knew, was shot and killed by Sheriff Wakefield last Saturday night. Chavez was a member of the quartette of despera- does that recently escaped from the Pima county jail. Last Friday morn- ing Mexican boy came to the local jail and told Mir. Wakefield that Chavez had eaten breakfast at Tanque Verde the day before. MT. Wakefield paid the lad liberal reward and inn mediately went to Tanque Verde. He struck the trail of the fugitive at that place and followed him across to the Rincon mountains.
 MT. Wakefield learned upon reliable authority that Chavez was going to Greaterville, so he dropped the trail, went to Vail's; and from there took the train to Critten den. At crittenden he secured a horse and saddle and rode to Greateryille. The sheriff learned that Chavez had been seen that day in the brush near Greaterville. A Mexican put him upon the trail of the outlaw and Mir. Wakefield followed the trail with all possible speed. Just at sun down Saturday night, when about five miles east of Greaterville, the sheriff caught sight of Chavez about sixty yards ahead of him. He at once yelled

IT is said the traction engine which was to accom- plisb wonders in hauling freight from Red Rock to the Ray mine has proven a failure. It seems like folly to monkey with such devices when all past experience goes to show that the only way to make a success of big low-grade mines is to have cheap railroad transportation. They tired traction engine at Bisbee, but abandoned it after making a trip or two, and d.at last the company built it's own railroad, which has paid for itself over and over again. The Bisbee mines are now paying immense divi- dends, and in our humble opinion they are no better than these on Mineral Creek.

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
Twenty-Five Years Constant Use with
 out Failure.

The first indication of croup is hoarseness, and in child subject to that disease it may be taken as a sure sign of the approach of an attack. Following this hoarseness is a peculiar rough cough. If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. It is used in many thou sands of homes in this broad land and never disappoints the anxious mothers. We have yet to learn of single in- stance in which it has not proved effectual. No other preparation can show such a record-twenty-fve years constant use without failure. For sale by Brockway's Pharmacy.

 IN the death of JudgeA. II. Hackney, which occurred last Sunday, Arizona loses one of its best citizens. He was born in Mercer, Pa, in 1915, re- sided in St. Louis twenty-five years and on the frontier in New Mexico and Arizona since 1857. Judge Hackney came to Globe from Silver City, N. M., shortly after the first mineral dis coveries, and in 1878 established the Silver Belt. It is with sorrow the TRIBUNE records the death of this scholarly old gentleman, who, in ability, was without peer in the pro- fession of journalism in our territory. His was that sturdilg honest nature that made warm friends and desirable enemies, and if we were permitted to write his epitaph it would be:

THE San Francisco Argonaut, one of the uncompromising republican jour inals of the Pacific coast, in referring to the danger of the downfall of the republican party, says:
 ''The vote is rising up against the republi- can party. The trades unions are declaring against expansion. Workingmen fear an- nexation, with it's menace to free labor and its menace of free trade. The latest body to declare itself in this direction is the Knights of Labor, the most numerous and most powerful labor organization in the country At the close of their convention in Boston November 2s. they unanimously passed res- olutions conforming the administrations foreign policy, strongly opposing Philippine annexation, denouncing President Mckinley as the bitter enemy of labor,' and asking organized labor to use it's votes against him and his associates Does any sane republi- can believe that we can carry this country in 1900 with united labor ranged against us.
