Vote for 1he best
men, regardless of
politics.

Billy Cook has done the people
of Maricopa county favor by con-
senting to run for sheriff and the
people will show their appreciation
by giving him the largest vote ever
given any candidate in Maricopa
county. Cast your vote for him
and be right along with the band
wagon.
The office of Justice of the Peace
of the Wickenburg precinct is not
political one, and politics will
have nothing to do with it after
election. For this reason, Dick
Wick Hall solicits the vote of every
one in this precinct, regardless Of
politics, if they think he is deserv-
ing Of, and competent to fill the
office.
When voting for county and pre-
cinct officers, do not vote straight
ticket because some political boss
tells you to. Use your own Judge
ment and common sense and vote
for the men you think will make
the best officers and look after the
interests of the taxpayers, no mat
ter what their politics may be.

PANIC OVER STRIKE
DISAPPEARS IN
BIRMINGHAM
AGREEMENT REACHED BY COM,
MITTEEs HAS RAISED HOPE
THAT MINERS WILL SOON
RESUME WORK.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July 5.-The an
nouncement yesterday that an agreement
had been reached by the miners and OPP
orators committees IN their joint confer
ence, caused the celebration of July to
be one of more than ordinary rejoicing.
as IL was taken to mean that in a short
time the twelve thousand miners now idle
will soon return to their labors.
The basis of. the agreement which was
reached has not been announced and prob
ably win not be until the miners and OPP
orators meet Monday to receive the re-
port of the subcommittee. The general
belief Is that the report will be accepted
and that the threatened strike will be
avoided.
The POSSIBILITY of a prolonged strike on
the part of the miners caused considerable
gloom in business circles, but now that
the danger seems to be about over every
one is happy and 1t is believed that the
prosperity of the district, which has been
so marked during the past year or so
win continue indefinitely.

cured, Lord Salisbury is said 20 consider
the erOwning OF the king as the moment
when his services to the nation may most
Atty be ended. One OF those intimately
associated with the premier throughout his
political career, more so perhaps than any
other person, said to a representative OF
the Associated Press today:
81 suppose that no one can have failed
to notice that Lord Salisbury lately has
seemed TO be slipping more and more away
from public life. The reports Of his falling
mentality are largely exaggerated, but for
a long time IL has been an open secret that
he ls extremely anxious to retire. We do
not know any reason for believing that he
will announce his determination In the i'm
mediate future, but I fear II is only a mat
ter Of a short time, perhaps after the cor
onation."

Of ANDRE
LEARNED At
LAST
BALL00NIST AND PARTY WERE
MASSACRED BY NATIVES AND
OUTFIT TAKEN AWAY FROM
THEM.

CHICAGO, July 5.-A special to The
Record Herald from Winnipeg, says:
Rev. DIR. Ferlies, a church of England
clergyman, arrived from York, Northwest
British Territory today and brings au-
thentic information OF the fate of the ex-
plorer Andre and his companions.
Two years ago. 100 miles north OF
York. a party of Eskimos under the
leadership OF "Old Huskie" saw the An
DIRE balloon alight on a plane of snow in
that vicinity, which is about 80 miles
north of Fort Churchill. Three men
emerged from the balloon and some of
"Huskies" people approached them out
of curiosity.
AS they did so one of Andres COM
panions fired of a gun. This is a signal
to uncivilized natives for battle. 1t was
regarded as a challenge and almost In
stantly the natives fell upon the three
explorers and massacred them. Every
thing pertaining to their outfit was car
ried to the homes of the natives on the
borders of the Arctic region.
"Old Huskie" himself gave this infor-
nation 70 Ralph Alstine, agent for the
Hudson Bay company, and the story, af-
ter being investigated by DIR. Ferries, was
told by him today. He says that there is
little room for doubt, as frequent reports
have since come Of the strange imple-
ments which the north natives have in
their possession, the telescope being par
ticularly described.
The Hudson Bay company has recently
offered a reward for the recovery of any
portion of the outfit belonging 10 Andre,
and, though natives have gone on the
search for them, they have never return
ed, believing, as Rev. DIR. Ferlies says.
that they will In some way be punished,
for they now understand that 1t was not
an attack upon them, but an accident by
which the gun was discharged that pre-
cipitated the massacre.

AFTER NEGRO FOR
MURDER AND ARSON

NEwBERRY, S. c.. July Sit is re-
ported here today that the authorities
have obtained a clew as to the guilty
party or parties connected with the muir
der of Mr.. ]. Butler Kinard, who was
burned TO death in his house near the
city on the night of June 18th.
The suspected party Is Lige Edwards,
a young negro about 20 years old, who
lived on the same place with Mr.. Kinard.
When the negro discovered that suspicion
rested on him, he left and has not yet
been captured. 1t is thought that several
other parties are implicated in the crime.
1t will be remembered that several
weeks ago Kinard, an aged white man,
living alone, was burned to death In MS
house the building being destroyed also.
Murder for the purpose of robbery was
suspected as the old man was known to
have had several hundred dollars and two
gold watches which have not been found.
