 STATEHOOD DELEGATE.-Amon
 
 hood convention who arrived yesterday was County Recorder C. P. Cronin. MT Cronin was at one time a resident of Phoenix. He went to Yuma about six years ago and not long after that was elected county recorder. He held that office until the Rough Riders of this territory were organized and he became one of the earliest members. He was rot in robust health. but notwithstand- ing that he was passed here and went with the Arizona contingent to San Antonio where a more rigorous medical examination excluded him from par ticipation in the war with Spain. He returned to Yuma and his health failed to such an extent that he was obliged to go to the coast. His decline con- tinued and at length he was taken to his home in Boston to die. Very few who saw him believed that he wouIl live to get home. He got worse there and finally his friends sent him to Flor ida to let him breathe his last. He was afterwards brought back to Bos- ton and was taken to a hospital. Cp to that time he was supposed to be af- tlicted with tuberculosis in it's most advanced form. At the hospital he fortunately fell under the care of a professor who was q nerve specialist. He decided immediately that MT Gro min was suffering from nervous ail- ,nent and after a brief treatment re stored him to perfect health. Soon af- ter that he returned to Yuma county and at the election last fall he took up his official life where he had aban- doned it. This is his first visit to Phoe- nix since he came here with the Yuma Rough Riders.

For two hours he picked away ndustrious- ly. but an inspection of his work showed that nothing had been accom- pliShed. Meantime Hooligan had been i eating two good meals for two days and began to take on flesh. It was evi- dent that the longer he remained in custody the worse off the city would ] be. and that the man simply told the ! truth when he said he did not know ! how to work, and was too old to learn ] The police thereupon showed him the | nearest way out of town. and told him : to enter upon his journey to the orient | as quickly as possible. If an answer comes to his letter to President Roose- | welt they will forward it. But it won't
