THE ISSUE JOINED.

DC campaign IS ncW oIa"inS " | q close; and next Tuesday the peo pie of Arizona will determine who shall represent them at Washing ton during the ensuing two year: beginning March 4th, 1901; and the people of Santa Cruz county will determine who shall conduct their own local affairs for a similar period. beginning the first Monday in January.
 In the territorial canvass the two parties have presented their strong est men, both of whom have served Arizona in the halls of congress- Their respective merits and de merits have been presented to the electors, and through 1t all the re- publican candidate has steadily gained in public favor. All his of. 6cial acts have been closely scrutinized and subjected to the strongest critici m. And under the strong light of fair and can did analysis those very public acts which his enemies have counted as the strongest to make weigh, against have proved a blessing Those very acts were to uphold the credit and honor of Arizona, and the people of Arizona appreciate the fact and will now show that appreciation by giving him a majority.
 There is another and stronger reason why the people of Santa Cruz county should give Governor Murphy a majority. It is reason which comes close to home. He was our friend in the creation of the county. In the face of strong pres sure to the contrary he affixed the official signature to the legislative act which gave the county legal and political significance.
 In MT. Geo. Pusch, the nominee for joint councilman, the republican ticket presents another friend of Santa Cruz county in the crucial period of its birth. A resident of Tucson, one of the heaviest tax payers in Pima county, member of the legislature representing that county. be gave Santa Cruz every assistance in securing segregation. His democratic opponent, Mir. Fin ley, likewise representing Pima county at Phoenix, did all he could to defeat the creation of Santa Cruz.
 In our own county affairs the re- publican party of Santa Cruz has presented strong ticket of good, capable business men, who will serve the public faithfully and we'll, and who should all be elected. The democratic ticket is sort of mixed very good men sandwiched between others not so good. Upon the other hand the republican ticket consists of strong array of competent gentlemen such as are seldom collected upon one ticket.

CAUSE OF FALLING HAIR.
Dandruff, Which Is Germ Disease

Dandruh, Which Is Germ DlseHse-
Kill the Germ.
Falling hair is caused by dandruff, which
is a germ disease. The germ, in burrowing
in to the root of the hair, where it destroys
the vitality of the hair, causing the hair to
fall out, digs up the cuticle in little scales,
called dandrutf or scurf. You can't stop the
falling hair without curing the dandruff,
and you can't cnre the dandrutf unless you
kill the dandruff germ. 'Destroy the cause,
you remove the effect" Newbro's Herpi-
eide is the only hair preparation that kills
the dandruff germ. Herpicide is also a de-
hghtful hair dressing.

fore they got over the old man was in
| the thicket, and luck again favored
him, for where he struck the river
there was large drift pile of logs,
trail and trees left by a flood. Under
this Uncle Price crawled and squirmed
along until he got under the thickest
portion where ne was perfectly con-
cealed. He heard them galloping and
shouting and they were evidently
du oiOus about poking around under
the drift looking for a white mau we'll
armed. But one adventurous warrior
came in on the raft and be felt the
trash dropping down on him, but the
Indians sharp eyes could not detect
him. He then began to think of the
possibility of their setting FIRE to the
drift. This kept him in painful state
of anxiety. But they evidently were
satisfied with the haul they mad made.
and being unwilling to risk losing anv
of their braves further they drove off
the stock.
AS soon as night came he began TO
consider what he should do to be saved.
He was afraid some of them would be
concealed waiting for him to make
his appearance. Still he could not
stay under the drift long. 1t was
long way to the settlements, so waiting
and listening patiently, and everything
getting quiet, he carefully made his
way to the bank and crawled along
until we'll out in the bottom. Here he
struck off down the bottom towards
the settlements and by daylight was u
long way on bis road
Cooper travelled ali day and into the
night, travelling in the woods during
the day for fear of the Indians, and in
the road at night. He passed any
amount of game. Deer and turkies
would hardly get out of mis- way, seeming
to know he could or would not shoot.
He was afraid the report of his rifle
would bring the Indians down on him.
So he preferred to go hungry until he
reached the settlements. 1t was quite
seventy-fve miles and he was nearly
starved before he got to the first settler.
After a short rest he got three young
men to go back with him. Jim Com
prary, John Ketchum, and another
whose name is forgotten. They found
the bodies of four of the Mexican
drivers in the camp, lanced and shot
full of arrow holes. The young Mex
leans body, who was Oh herd, was also
found. Ore of the Mexicans, named
Francisco Torres, could not be found,
but the men followed his trail and that
of a large fierce bulldog that Cooper
had for camp guard, for some dis
lance. They probably happened NOT
to be right in camp when the attack
was made, as the dog had never been
known to leave the camp before. But
the wild yells of the Apaches were too
much for even his nerves. Neither
man or dog was ever heard of again.
1t is likely they died horrid death
from hunger and thirst between the
Conchos and Pecos rivers. The arms,

and four others went to work to fill the
wagons with salt. When dinner time
came the herders failed to put in an
appearance, and when q camper fails

Uncle Prices suspicious we're at once
aroused, but what to do was the ques-
ton. There were five of them, but If
three went to look for the herders and
oxen, then if Indians were about they
would kill the two men in camp and
follow and kill the others. So they
concluded to stay together, and taking
their canteens full of water and some
cooked grub, they took the trail. They

The writer obtained the statement
of the following facts from Price Coop

little town of Ysleta. The writer will

Uncle Price left Ysleta for the pur-
pose of hauling salt from the lakes

like flying in the face of providence to
make such q trip at that time, for dur

ownership. The Mexican took to his
heels, bus the Indians followed filing
him full of arrows and lancing him.
This momentary diversion in Uncle
Prices favor gave him time to think.
So he made break for the thick

unusually bold, and for six or seven
men to make such trips, when the In
dams could muster fifty or one hun

fate.
Old Price had bought from old John

yoke of oxen. Baving seven wagons,
he had loaded these up with salt at

Uncle Price mediately started
back for second trip and had camped
at an old deserted Overland Stage
station, with which he was familiar,
having worked for the Overland Mail
company, usually known as the Butter
field company. Here he felt no
alarm. Il is strange fact, but quite

PEACE WITH HONOR.

Apparently there is peace with honor
Yin Kentucky, and the indications are
that the same will continue unless
somebody's honor suddenly becomes
more important than peace The agree
nent which has been made is an in
genious one. 1t will probably result in
the, unseating of Governor Taylor, but
the Constitution of the. State undoubt-
edly gives the legislature of the State
the right to determine election contests,
and there Is no question of the reg
ularity Of the organization of the legis-
1ature. The chief good in the agreement
10 the declaration that all parties shall
unite in an effort to bring about such a
modification Of the election law as will
provide for nom partisan election boards
and insure free and fair elections.
Goebers vicious election law brought
death to him, and it has almost plunged
Kentucky into civil war. But it may
have been after all a blessing in dis
guise. Perhaps Kentucky has now
learned a valuable and much needed
lesson.
