The senatorial lineup at present
would indicate that a deadlock is in
sight. The talk in King county that
a dark horse from King is possible is
silly The injection of either Allen
or Furth into the fight by King county
would mean the election of Levi An
keny at once. The members of the
King county delegation are tied up
to Harold Preston and will stay by
him, but they are not tied up to any
one else, and when they leave Pres
ton they will either go to Ankeny or
Wilson. Therefore, if King county
expects to win at all she must win
with Harold Preston as her standard
bearer. Swapping horses in the mid
die of turbulent stream always was
a dangerous proceeding, and, if King
county attempts it in this instance,
she will find the old adage still holds
good.

The grand jury has returned three
indictments for gambling, viz, H. B.
Dunbar and his two dealers, both of
whom are now rusticating in old Mex
leo. 1t is very refreshing to get to
a foreign land when you have that
tired feeling, as one will occasionally
get when grand jury is in session.

The question uppermost in the
minds of those who know anything
of the trend of political contests like
the one now on in Olympia is, Does
Senator Wilson hold the balance OF
power in the legislature? If he does
can he continue to hold it? There
is no doubt but that if Senator Viii
son can continue to hold the balance
of power he will be the man of all
men that the leading candidates would
like to tie up with. Again, if he holds
the balance of power, to whom will
he throw his strength when he finds
that his election is completely out
of the question, if such a time ever
comes? Levi Ankeny is his mortal
political enemy. He is not much stuck
on Harold Preston and Mcbride. 1t
would be utterly impossible for him
to do Allen any good Now, under
such circumstances, what will he do?
is the oft asked question. If he helps
Preston, would King county recipro-
cate in kind two years from now, or
would she treat him as has Pierce
county? If he helps Ankeny, would
he not lose more than he could expect
to gain? 1t perhaps is nard ques-
tion for even Mr.. Wilson to settle in
his own mind, even if he !contemplates
irving to settle it at all.

POLITICAL POT : PIE


The first, second and third rounds
in the senatorial mill have been taken,
and nothing definite indicating an
early settlement of the question is in
sight. Those doing the voting have
resigned themselves to a long drawn
out contest, and with grim determine
ton in their countenances seem pre-
pared to fight it out along the lines
they have pitched their tents, if it
takes all summer. The preliminary
skirmish was doubtless a bit disap-
pointing to each of the three sena-
torial candidates. Levi Ankeny, who,
it was thought would have at least
sixty votes on the first ballot, only
got forty-eight en- the first and fifty
on the second, and with no prospects
of increasing that number very much,
although he seems to have the best
show of being elected if any one is.
Harold Preston, who it was generally
believed would get what Ankeny got,
only got fortyone votes on the first
and forty-two on the second. Seattle
is thoroughly aroused in behalf of
Mr. Preston, and she might be able
to turn public sentiment his way John
L. Wilson got twelve votes and is
holding them, which thing, if he con-
tinues to do, and the other men hold
their respective strengths, he will be
the balance of power in the fight

The question naturally arises, Has
Senator Wilson any show of being
elected at this time, standing as he
does with the fewest votes of either
of the senatorial candidates? The
Pie-maker believes that depends sole
ly on how long he can hold the votes
that are now standing by him. If
Mr.. Wilson can stand out and show to
the railroad people that they stand a

Councilman Crichton seems to be
of the opinion that either the police
men never do what they are told to

Murder and Suicide.

News reached Clifton last evening lying at the roadside on the San Fran cisco river short distance above Nick Coles Halfway house. Justice Boyles immediately left for the scene where he impaneled a jury to view the remains. The first body was that Of Jesus Barela and was lying in the road. He had been shot through the neck, the ball severing the jug gulsr vein. The other body which was found about half mile further up the river. was that of Apolinare [ guarte, who had been shot through the head. IL was ascertained by the jury that Uguarte had murdered his companion, and then taken his ow D life. Two boys witnessed the first tragedy and Uguarte's wife, another woman and a man were eve witnesses to the suicide. After committing the murder Uguarte continued on to his home, and when within a few feet Ol the tent he told his wife that be had killed a man down the road and would now take his own life. He then placed the pistol to his head and pulled the trigger, and his body fell at the feet of his wife.
 Uguarte was married October 18th by Justice Boyles to Ysietra Gonzales
 No reason can be assigned for the double tragedy, other than both men were drunk, and Probably had quar- rel which ended with fatal results for both parties. The men were miners. Barela had been employed by Del Potter at the Sierra de Gro and Uguarte by the New England com pany.

THE NEW MEXICAN CONSUL.
The Appointment of Arturo Elias Well
 Received at Tucson.

The following from the Tucson Star is well deserved endorsement of the appointment of Arturo Elias to the consulate service at Tucson:
 What will be Graham County's loss will be Tucson's gain. Mir. Elias has hosts of friends throughout the Terri tory who join with US in congratulate ing bis advancement Mir. Elias will enjoy one Of the few distinctions ac- corded an American citizen by the Mexican government, whose laws pro vide for the appointment Of only Mexi- can citizens a. consuls, except in extra ordinary cases worthy of special men tion and distinction, when the Con- grc,s is not in session and the Pcesi- dent makes the selection.
 Tn the case Of Mr. Elias his pro- motion and appointment is merited by the good work which he did during the Morenci aud Clifton strike in pro- tecting the property and lives of Mexi- can citizens. He was in a great meas ure instrumental in bringing about a settlement of differences between the company and the strikers. He appeal ed to the Mexican element engaged in the riot to obey law and order and in -ths lals Qi the G2yerapent oi-MsXlca to desist. By his action he not only merited this distinction from Mexico but earned the applause of the troop CTS. Sheriff Parks and his deputies and O. all law abiding citizens. It took him but a short time 10 cOnYince the Mexican people that they were being used by Hungarian. Italian and other foreigners who were the leaders of the strike aid whose convictions followed.
 His course merited the recommend ation Of the people Of Arizona, which he received. Mir. Elias be it said is q young man who has by his industry, honesty and learning advanced to be already recognized as man Oi keen diplomatic ability.
 MT. Elias, we welcome you and your family in this, your old home, where all your friends have learned to like you from your boyhOod, with full confidence that you will merit the es- tecm Of those you will know in the future and above all we compliment the Sister Republic upon its good and wise judgement in the selection Of her consul.

An Important Capture.

Gus Hobbs made capture at Mo-
 renci this week of a Mexican who was
 wounded on Eagle river about three
 weeks ago by Ben Parks, who ran on tO
 a gang of MeIicans engaged in skin- hing one of his cattle. It was thought
 at the time that perhaps the man had been killed, as Mir. Parks was quite
 sure he had hit him, but as a search
 was made and the body not found, the suppOsition was that he was able to
 travel, and had made his escape and this proved correct. Officer Hobbs
 became suspicious of a Mexican who
 it was claimed was suffering with
 rheumatism. He took a doctor with
 him and went to the house where the doctor made an exa nination and found that the feshy part Of the thigh on the outside Of the right leg had been shot away. The Mexican then ac- knOwledged that he was the man shot by Parks. He says that after the trouble his companions took his win chester and deserted him, leaving him to care for himself as best he could. By the assistance or burrO, and per haps also by the aid of another Mexi- can, he irally reached Morenci, where
 he was being cared for by friends He does not feel kindly towards the amigos who deserted him and left him to die Of his wounds, and he would not grieve much should they be captured, which they undoubtedly will be unless they have already made their way into Old Mexico. He will recover from his wound, but will be crippled for life, and will aslO doubtless be compelled to serve q term at Yuma. Graham county officers have been doing good work in hunting down outlaws, but it seems that they hardly clean up one gang until another is formed. Tough MeXicans have come into the country during the past year, who prefer tO steal rather than work, and they keep local officers busy all the time. As there is plenty Of work in this country there is no possible excuse for outlaw cry, and as the officers are neary al ways successful in running them down it would seem shat they would take a tumble, " and give the county the cold shake.

A ghastly find was unearthed just above the sawmill plant Of the A. C.. company on Chase creek Monday last by some workmen who were digging a trench. The remains were those of a man who had most probably met a violent or accide ental death. The flesh was entirely gone from the bones, but some Of the clothing remained, also a scapular encircling the neck, from which it was inferred that the man was Catholic, and most probably a Mexican. A dirk, a pocket knife and sixty cents in silver were found in the overalls pocket. \ ten cent piece bore the date of 1900. from which it is in- ferred that the man could not have been dead more than two and half years. The disappearance of the flesh from the bones is accounted for by the fact that the body was buried short teachings from the acid plant are dis charged, which contain a small amount Of acid. The remains were covered by only foot or eigh teen inches O. dirt. The toes of the shoes were protruding from the earth. TheT had the appear snce of being but little worn. The eleton was encircling a post. which leads to the belief that the body was washed down from canyon directly above. It is possible that the man might have been caught by flood and drowned. and his body washed down and covered with debris where found. There were no marks on the skull or other bones to show that the man had met with foul play. An inquest was not held. as there was no clue to lead to the identity of the remains.
