ARIZONA,S BAD MEN MUST GO.
Burt Mossman and Twelve Intrep-
ids to Hunt Down a Band of Des-
perate Outlaws.

Burt Mossman and Twelve Intrep-
ids to Hunt Down a Band of Des-
perate Outlaws.
The Arizona bad man" must go.
That is the verdict Of the Arizona leg
islature, and that body has selected
Burt Mossman and IL intrepid rangers
to enforce the edict.
Mossman and his band will have q
dangerous duty to perform. The cow
boys are offering even money that the
legislators picked fighters will turn
up their toes" before next seasons
round up. But Arizona's fighting spir-
it is reused and the battle will be
fought to finish.
If the legislature can carry out their
plans there will be nothing in the ban
dit line in Arizona except outlaws
graves, and bad men" will live only
in history.
Big Bert Mossman Is not at all ap-
prehensive concerning the course map
ped out for him and his IL assistants.
In fact, he is just the man to get keen
enjoyment out Of border scraps. He is
a typical cowboy. His tall, lean frame
Is covered with muscles as hard as
cords. He has the eyes of hawk and
daredevil nature that Is as careless
of consequences in fight as any OF
the men he has been ordered to round
up or bust" For years Mossman has
been boss" on a large ranch and has
some Of the most unruly cow-punchers
in the territory to handle. Dead
game" is the character that he has es-
tablished for himself, and it is not easy
to earn that distinction down In Arizo-
ma When it comes to a gun argument,
and Moassman has had his share, ne
can make the bullets talk. Only two
weeks ago the outlaws exchanged shots
with a posse Of cowboys and killed
several of them. Frank Stayner was
the first man to come down from the
scene of the fight, which was nearly
200 miles from a telegraph office.
Carlos Tafoya, young ranger
known throughout Apache county for
his bravery, organized a posse of cow
boys to pursue the outlaws. They
found their trail and followed 1t to
point which gave them view OF Para
disc park. Far at the other end Of the
park were camped their game, their
horses herded at a short distance.
When they saw the pursuing party
they at once jumped behind powders
and opened fire. The ranger ordered
his men to dismount. and each man
found the best protection he could be-
fore he commenced shooting. Ranger
Tafoya rode forward a hundred feet,
where there was a large bowlder, be-
hind which he could fight with greater
safety. But he did not reach the bowl
der before a bullet struck him, result
ing in death.
William Maxwell was the next man
to receive a wound. He attempted I'd
gain an advanced post, and while run
ming in a crouched position bullet
struck him. He died almost instantly,

WELLS WEAKENS HIS CASE.
His Remarkable Campaign Oratory
Disheartens Republican Workers.

The tremendous force displayed by Asa
r. Wells in his discussion of the cam
paign issues at Metropolitan Temple Sat
urday night was the subject of consider
able comment in political circles yester-
day On the occasion Of his first public
address a week ago, Mr.. Wells made a
big hit by stultifying his own party, and
he repeated the break he made on that
oratory.
Notwithstanding the efforts Of Man
ager Cobb to curb his employers propen-
form, Mr. Wells continues to do his own
sweet will whenever he appears on the
Iostrum With every appearance before
the public the Republican candidate for
Mayor weakens his candidacy, so that
few Republicans are to be found who do
not regard his election as being prac-
tically hopeless.
A leading Republican said yesterday
that Mr.. Wells lacked those qualifica-
tions which one naturally looked for in
a candidate for so important and digni-
fled an office as Mayor of San Francisco.
Without the ability to express himself,
even in the most ordinary way, upon
topics with which he should be familiar,
he has the faculty of weakening his own
case by announcing his intention to do
certain things and then forgetting to keep
his promise. At the meeting Saturday
evening he was to have declared himself
as to his policy in the event of his cleo
ton. Instead of doing this he told his
hearers that he had the example Of the
immortal Lincoln and Mckinley con-
stantly before him. and that in all the

Impressive services were held yesterday
in the French Church on Bush street, the
occasion being the annual celebration of
that church's patronal feast designated
as Our Lady Of Victories" from which
the church takes its name.
The feast day is always honored on the
last Sunday in October, which has been
the rule since the church was dedicated
on May 4, 1856, by the late Bishop
Alemany.-
The edifice was beautifully decorated
with a profusion of French and Ameri-
can flags, while the affairs were mag
nificently adorned with choice cut flowers
and myriads of lighted tapers.
Solemn high mass was celebrated at
Alexander Hamet, S. M, rector of the
church, as celebrant. Father Joseph
Guibert, S. NJ, acted as deacon and

S~ HERE was a happy gathering of
III people out at Glen Park yesterday
afternoon, and while hundreds
II of young people danced on the
big platform some 1000 men and
women crowded the pavilion to greet
Joseph S. Tobin, candidate for Mayor, and
many other Democratic nominees.
The exercises were presided over by
Frank H. Gould, and there was speech
making galore and song and dance artists
in sufficient numbers to hold the attention
of the big crowd for more than two hours.
OF course the great interest of the crowd
centered in Mr.. Tobin, the candidate for
Mayor. When he appeared on the grounds
it was decided to have the band escort
him to the pavilion. Mr.. Tobin called the
serenade off, for he desired to make his
entrance to the pavilion as unostenta-
tiously as possible. He received rous-
| ing welcome when he appeared on the
stage, and loud and prolonged cheers
greeted him when he was introduced TO
speak by Chairman Gould.
Mr. Tobn prefaced his remarks with
scriptural allusion to Caesar, and the
medallions that bore the letters IS. L. y.
r." He continued:
1 ask you, gentlemen, to hand me a Repub-
lican ticket and 1 will ask you whose inscrip-
tion does it bear.

letters the medallion of Caesar. but writ

Money Saved by Present Board.
Mr.. Tobin told how the present board
had saved the people thousands Of dollars
by reducing taxes land salaries. and told
of the improvements in street cleaning
and about the parks. He presented figures
made by the board of which he is g, mem

Another Case of Roosevelt.

Tobin's campaign has been the cleanest
In the history of San Francisco. His
courteous treatment of those whose op-
position to him has expressed itself in
petty personalities has won for him hosts
Of friends. His frankness, independence
and unlimited capacity for hard work
have inspired confidence on all hands. The
qualities he has shown as a campaigner
are the very qualities demanded in the
chief executive of a modern metropolis
He has worked vigorously. but with dis
cretion; has been frank without hurting
anybody's feelings; has shown infinite
tact under trying circumstances; has
shown his ability to meet emergencies and
has convinced all who have met him of
his absolute sincerity.
