Another Murder at Guthrie.

Yesterday evening Judge Wright was called to Guthrie to hold an in quest on the body of Filipe Cabella, who was found murdered in a small brush honse near that place. The evidence points to Simon Arera as the murderer, and the deed was done with an axe, as one covered with blood was found near by. The mur- der was committed sometime during the night of Tuesday, but the body was not found till late last night, owing to the fact that the roof of the house had been torn down and used as covering with which to conceal the body. Yesterday morning Arera went to the office and asked for his time in a very excited and nervous manner, since which time he has not been seen or heard of. This, together with the fact that he immediately left Guthrie, leaving all his personal effects behind, leads to the belief that it was he who did the killing. The house in which the killing occurred belonged to the man who killed Mex ican at Guthrie some weeks ago.

The Tillman bill has been re- ported favorably by the house public lands committee. The same bill was reported favor ably by the senate committee on mines and mining some time ago. These two reports make the prospect of the enactment of the bill exceedingly bright. Provision is made for the ex- penditure of $1O,OOO in aid of mining schools the first year after the passage of the bill. This amount will be increased .$1, 1000 annually until $15,0 900 is reached, which will be perma- nent annual income.

county,

in the coming campaign the Democratic party of Graham county will be supported by two staunch Democratic newspapers, instead of one-newspapers that have never been traitors to their party; papers that work for principle and not for poodle, papers that work for party vel fare and harmony, not for indi- vidual success or bossiSm, nor for the venting of personal spleen-these papers are the Graham Guardian and COPPER ERA. The ERA is a valuable ad- dition of strength to the Demo- cratic party of the county. That portion of the county represented by the ERA is so closely allied to the valley that it is to the interest of every farmer whose produce finds a market in the east end of the county to become a subscriber to that paper. With the ERA and Guardian working together for harmony there is every as- surance of success. s.-Guardian.
 Correct you are, Bro. Birdno. You will find us right with you in the coming campaign.

That Hon. c. M. Shannon is

That Hon. c. M. Shannon is the proper man to represent the people of Graham county in the councilmanic halls of the next Arizona legislature is acknowl- edged by everyone who has the best interests of our people at heart. MT. Shannon has served as representative in the legisla- ture of this Territory and has occupied many other important positions of trust and no one can say, trnthfully, that he has not, in any instance discharged the duties incumbent upon him con- scientiously, fearlessly and in telligently. He has been resi- dent of the Territory for more than twenty years. He knows the people and knows their needs. We all know his record as a Democrat. He is deserv- ing of the honor and should be sent to the council from Graham county.

More than a thousand veter- an sailors and marines of the war have already filed applica
 tions to the navy department to have removed the charges of de
 sertion which now stand against their names. This action was taken in anticipation of the final passage by congress of the bill extending indefinately the pro- visions of the act of 1888 rela- tive to what are known as Gin nocent assertions" For ten years Judge Advocate General Lemly has been seeking to ob- tain this legislation, and the bill has passed first one house and then the other, but only last Friday succeeded in passing both in one session, and so be-
 ing sent to the president for his signature. No one knows how many veterans are affected by this act. At the close of the civil war many thousand sailors and marines reported at Phila- delphia to be mustered out. The receiving ships did not af- ford accommodations for more than a small fraction of them, and after waiting many days for the mastering out officer, be-
 ing told that they were not wanted, the men drifted off to their homes throughout the country and returned to civil life. Technically, every one of these men was a deserter, and Fridays act is intended to remove that stigma from their records.

loye, was seriously If not fatally injured

occurred last week at Lincoln, Neb.
Mrs. Holden had been i'll for some time.
and left Albuquerque last December for

weeks in hospital for treatment. She
then moved to Lincoln.
Three young men, two from Sallda,
Colo, and the other from New Jersey,
started from Albuquerque overland to
Fort Defiance, taking along five gallon
can of water. They were told they
would reach water IL miles from Albu,
querque, but when night set in and they
we're about 20 miles from the city they
had yet reached no water. Their sup
ply OF water was exhausted and they
wandered hopelessly all that night and
Saturday in quest of water. Late Satur-
day afternoon one of the men mounted
one Of the horses and rode off to find
water II possible As he did not return,
the other two killed the remaining horse
and drank its blood. After becoming

started back to find the companion he
had left by the wayside. He was found
lelsurely walking toward town, and he
stated that the Rio Pucrco mail carrie,

OF water. The man who left the camp
on horseback went back to his CON-
panions sometime Saturday mig lit an,',

ADDRESS OF BOER ENVOY.
New York, June 26.-The Boer ENJOYS
to-day issued an address to the people
of the United States. After expressing
invitations extended to them, they ex-
pressed thanks to the American public
for the deep sympathy they had shown
for the two struggling republics. Con-
tinuing. the address says: I'VE now feel
convinced that the boastful allegation
of the colonial secretary and other
British statesmen that the citizens Of
this great country sympathized with
the British empire in it's attempt to
crush the independence of our two small
otoeCo 10 etOooiutCiJ uCSoiu VI tiutH.
The address goes at great length into
the history of the relations between
Great Britain and the Beers, which 1t
characterizes as one of violated faith
and broken pledges cloaked under the
display of magnanimous and ire
proachable principles" The address
contends that the policy Of Great Brit
ain was designedly shaped so as to COM
pei the Beers to send on the 9th of Oc-
tober. 1899, what was commonly known
as their ultimatum to Great Britain.
1.-The Beers may be in the end defeat
ed by overwhelming numbers" the ad-
dress says, land may ultimately be
forced to surrender owing to the diff
Guilty to secure ammunition, provisions,
but the conduct of the present war. as
we'll as the history of 100 years, justifies
us in saying that they never can be
conquered" The address concludes that
the ENJOYS do not ask the direct or
forcible Intervention of the United
States, but the continuance of public
sympathy and support.
