TRUAX, aged 30 years and II days.

Thomas Truax and Mrs Belle Truax,
and was born near the Bluff Greek
church. He lived in that community
until about five years ago, when he
went to Colorado for his health, hav-
ing contracted bronchial trouble,
which developed into consumption,

joyed the esteem and friendship of

sad and tragic death of Mrs. Lukens'
husband that occurred at Bussey one
year ago. Mr.. Lukens was in charge
of his train which ran between Des

started, throwing him backwards, his
head striking a protrudiDg bolt and
he sustained injuries from which he
died few hours afterward. His
tragic death and her subsequent grief
for her husband was the cause of
Mrs. Lukens' death.

We miss him here, we miss him there,
Dear son, we miss thee everywhere.
Ever remembered by his father,
mother and brother.

from the earliest times. There are great many people who doubt the com monly accented story in it's entirety of the gold mines of Ophir. It is easier to lie about a mine than anything else because men cannot see below the sur face of the ground. But the liar is no more numerous in Arizona according to the population of the territory than he is any where else. The Oil Mining and Finance of Los Angeles takes the fight off our hands and ably defends those Arizonians who are not liars.
 Says Oil. Mining and Finance:
 Why :Arizona's Accomplished Li- ars?' Why not California's, Nevada s Montana's, Michigan's, Australia's, South Africa's? Arizona is peopled with folks that have gathered from every portion of the union; it's popu- lation represents the average intelli- gence and morality the country over. It has some very good people and some very bad, with, like every other division of the union, a great body of

for faithful services performed and from that day until the date of this convention a deter mined effort has been made to secure him the nomina- tion.
 With the democrats united on the logical candidate of the party, and the convention a perfect sea of harmony the democrats of Arizona may expect to elect their candidate for that office
 Col. Wilson has represented Arizona in congress for two years and his good record speaks for itself. He is untir- ing in his efforts at Washington and it was during his term in congress that the first steps were taken looking toward the building of the San Carlos reservoir site. Col. Wilson has the endorsement and entire confidence Of the laboring class in Arizona. His record and utterances on all matters of legislation effecting this class is clear and he will receive their vote to a man.
 The platform of the party is free of all quibbling or generalities. It goes straight to the point on all mat ters in which the great majority of voters in Arizona are interested. It is overflowing with good democratic doctrine, and while several members of the committee on platform and reso- lutions questioned the advisability of giving the convention the aspect of legislature, still Col. Wilson wishes in the matter were carried out, and he goes before the people standing square ly on the platform of his party, of which he endorses heartily every sin gle plank.
 The platform of the democratic par ty will please the voters of Arizona.

Business obligations are as well kept and failures as few as in any western state or territory. There is absolutely nothing in the character of the people or in their course in life to justify the conclusion among them the liar reaches abnormal development. and such a conclusion is the unreasonable one Of an unreasoning mind"

ATTITUDE OF THE MINE OPERATORS,

After conference of the presidents of the anthracite coal-carrying compan- ies yesterday this statement was given to the public by the president of one of the interested roads:
 'The operators are a unit in stand ing by their original position. The situation at the mines is improving daily. A few more men are applying to be taken back every day, but when the work will be actively resumed I will not undertake to say, however, that no interference by any outside parties. no matter how highly we may esteem the parties themselves. will have any effect The matter at isue can only be settled between the operators and the miners"
 The declaration is coupled with an allusion to the well-meant attempt of people of high standing in the com munity, but who are not business men. to bring up the question of arbitration again.
 This, then, is the response of the mine operators to the public appeal for the abatement of a public peril for measures looking to the termina- tion of a dangerous and distressing strike. The coal operators are aware that the miners stand ready to arbi- trate. They are aware that the strike has become a matter of serious mo- ment, not only to the miners, but to coal consumers. They have been in formed by the action of the National Civic federation and of individuals of national prominence that public interests calls for a change of attitude on their part.
 | Their reply is flat refusal to take any steps looking towards arbitration. The request for action on behalf of the general public they stamp as 'in- terferences' The effort of the indi- viduals who asked only that the ques
 tions at issue be opened up to consider
 ation is contemptuously alluded to as
 the "well-meant attempt" of persons
 who, it is implied, are incapable o
 judging the situation as business men The operators statement speaks fo
 itself. In substance it is an insolen
 denial that they have any responsibili
 ties of the general public which the. need consider above their own inter l tests. It implies purpose to carr, s the strike through to the end, forcinl s the miners into complete submission n and finally imposing the operators f own terms. Surely the time has com Q to exercise some governmental rs r straint over the defiant combination n If the antitrust law will not fit tn e case then there is need for laws whic
 will fit it.

DEMOCRATIC TERRITORIAL CONVENTION.

The Democratic Territorial conven- tion, which met in Tucson on Wednes- day, was love feast. Time and time again some obstreperous delegate at tempted to create a disturbance, but the convention would not have t. When Tom Parish, of Maricopa, at tempted to limit the members of com mittees to seven, instead of choosing one from each county, and Dr. Ford. of the same county, induced him to withdraw from that position, the last chance for scrap" went glimmering, and from that time on motions were made by exclamation, nominations unanimous, ana a flood of harmoni- ous oratory was poured out upon the convention, amid the cheers of the enthusiastic delegates.
 That Col. Wilson was to be the nominee was firmly believed several days ago, when the result of the Mar icopa convention was learned. This was the turning point and the Shannon delegates simply went to Tucson hop ing against fate that something might occur to cause a cog to slip in the Wilson machine.
 But after several caucases were held among the delegates of the south il was soon evident that Shannon would fall short of his nomination and two Shannon supporters waited on Col J F. Wilson at his quarters at the Orn dorf hotel, and notified him of his in tention to withdraw. That Col. Vii son was the logical candidate to lea the democratic party this fall ha been conceded even by those who wer not his supporters during the campaig for the nomination. Warm ties 0 personal friendship bound many of tn prominent leaders of the democrati party to Charlie Shannon, who up t the last, did their utmost to secur him the nomination.
 The argument that Col Wilson wa the logical candidate, was supported b the sentiment created with the ran and file of the party, that he was jus ly entitled to the nomination of tn party two years ago, not that the charged Mark Smith with securing hi nomination by unfair means, but tn people thought that Col Wilson wa entitled to . second term as . rewar

New York, Nov. 11.-Roland B.
Molineux was set at liberty today af-
ter spending nearly four years in pris-
on and being once condemned to
death and twice placed on trial for his
life for the murder of Mrs. Katherine

But thirteen minutes sufficed for
the jury to reach verdict of acquit.
tai at the close of trial that lasted
four weeks. the first trial, which re-
suited in Molineux's conviction and
sentence, having been prolonged for
about three months.
The verdict, which was confidently
expected, was greeted with an instant.
E suppressed outbreak of applause,
Justice Lambert having delivered a
stern admonition that no uemonstra-
tion would be permitted.
Molineux, who was brought into the
court when It was known that the
jury had agreed, was as apparently
unconcerned as he has been through
out the trial, and gave no evidence of
emotion when the words that estab-
lished his innocence were pronounced.
His aged father, Gen. Molineux, was
deeply affected and could with diff

friends who pressed around to offer
their congratulations.
Immediately after the return of the
verdict the prisoner was formally dis
