1t was polite move on the part of
the convention to pronounce for "the re-
peal of the mulct law and the enactment
OF local option law. This resolve will
come very near being the paramount is

The republican party would like MOTH
ing better. The democrats would have
struck d popular chord had they de-
manded certain notifications of the
mulct law relating to methors of OBJ
tanning consent and to certain other
conditions. but when they declared for.
local option they practically demanded
free whisky in the river towns If they
should stand in this campaign on the
demand for local option alone they
would be worse beaten than Bryan ever
was. If that proposition were submit

river counties 1t would be beaten
Practically we have local option now,
except that the state prescribes the
minimum license fee. The city council
prescribed 1t under the old plan, to
which the democrats now propose to re-
turn, and the change to mulct resulted
in reduced number of saloons and a
larger revenue from the liquor traffic. 1t
wiped out most of the saloons along the
country roads and the farmers are glad

IOWA AND SOUTH DAKOTA CROPS.
|s [Sioux City Tribune.1
In another column on this page will
be found large number of crop re-
ports culled from the newspapers of
northwest Iowa and South Dakota.
They are chiefly figures given out at
the thresher, which makes the final test.
All previous estimates are done away
with when the thresher makes its rec
ord. In South Dakota especially the
newspapers have made such careful and
frequent reports of the results in the
threshing fields that a very accurate es-
innate of general crop yields for the
state may now be presented.
The figures show that all crops are
much better than expected Small
grain is very large average. Corn is
not yet far enough along to make esti-
mates valuable; but it 10 universally
reported much better than was expected
a few weeks ago. The effects of this
years drought will not be nearly SO Sc.
trious. in this section at least, as ex-
pected. All reports agree on this. In.
deed, the statement does not seem toe
strong, that no similar area of the ag-
ricultural west will make a showing
equal to that of northwest Iowa and
South Dakota, comparing this years
crops with those of average seasons
Some yields are simply immense; few
are small.
Here is tabulation OF series Of re-
ports taken from South Dakota papers
Just as they were found. There are sis
reports on barley, seven on oats and ter
on wheat, from all parts Of South Da-

The judge came pounaing along be-

drew up beside her and asked her

NOT A FAKE.

Concerning those pools of blood
found in Stafford some weeks ago
we were surprised to find the fol.
lowing in the Copper Era last week:
"The GUARDIAN last week gave
an account of great pools of blood
being found in different parts of
the town. This is the second fake
of the kind which Birdno has
worked off on the public. John is
making reputation of Bucket of
Blood stories.'
1t is true that the GUARDIAN was
the only paper in Graham county
that published full account of the
affair. But the Era is much mis-
taken or was mislead in calling it
a fake and also in referring to the
last article as the "second" one, as
the last article was merely an ac-
count of what the constable was
doing in the case. Nearly every
man in Stafford is witness to the
fact that the account published was
a stern reality, and that one or
more persons probably lost their
lives. AS another evidence that it
is no fake we take the following
from the Globe Times!
"Jim Ieamy received the start
ling information day or two since
that he had been murdered. Just
how Jim felt while being murder
ed is not recorded, but the pros
poets are that jim will live to mur-
der lots of good old grub yet be-
fore we have the pleasure of turn
ing out to his funeral. The infor-
nation Jim received was contained
in the following letter:
Stafford, Arizona, June Is 1901.
Mr.. James Leamy, Globe, Arizona,
Friend Jim:-No doubt you will be
somewhat surprised when | tell
you that you are dead and that
am accused of being your murderer.
You remember the blood we were
looking at the day you left. The
officers here have been trying to
get some trace of the supposed
murdered man and as you are the
only missing man, they think it is
you. The officers came to me yes
terday inquiring about you and
your sudden disappearance. They
have not had me arrested yet, but
believe suspicion rests on me, as
| was the last man seen with you.
They seem to doubt my word
about you having gone to Globe,
and as it is anything but a pleasant
situation to be placed in. wish you
would let the people of Stafford
know that you are still in the land
of the living. You can write few
lines to the GRAHAM GUARDIAN that
you stilfexist and that Salisbury is
innocent of the suspected murder.
Now, Jim, this is no joke, and hope
we will hear from you soon, SO
that | may walk the streets feeling
that l am not spotted as murder
er. Your Truly,
w. II. SALISBURY"
We admit that nothing has been
done to unravel the mystery OF
discover what actually did occur
except by the local officers, but
Notwithstanding this fact the Era
should be sure of its ground be-
fore terming local happenings
afakes."
