1885, a dapper young man named Hud-

business here for two years or until
the spring of 1887.

ties desiring the purchase, and retain
ing two to his own name. The action
was brought by Carson ct al, to quiet
title to the two lots claimed by Fogg.
II was asserted by them that they had
given the quit claim to the three lots
with the understanding that Fogg was
also making $500 by the transaction.
and that they would have the two re-
naming lots free from lien. Judg-
ment was for Fogg in the lower court.
The principal question discussed in
the appeal is whether or not Fogg was
acting as attorney for Carson when he
purchased the certificate of sale, he
contending that the relations of at
torney and client ceased between the
parties with the end of the foreclosure
suit. The supreme court holds that
the rule governing the transaction is
that even where the actual relations Of
attorney and client have ceased, the
attorney is not permitted to traffic in
the property that has been in the liti-
cation in which he has acted as attor-
ney for one Of the parties. The court
holds that Fogg purchased the certi-
ficate of sale in trust for his former
clients, and that the original agree
ment giving half to the attorneys of
the amounts saved in the foreclosure
proceedings governs in the transa-
ctiOn. The two lots saved, the $500
paid to CarsOns for the quit claim and
$1O.12 that was Melted to F'Ogg in the
sale of the other three lots and in
the payment of the mortgage lien
should all be counted as in the trust
F'Ogg is entitled to an undivided half
interest in the two lots, and Carson ct
al. are entitled to an undivided half
interest. The appellants owe Fogg
$255.05, which amount becomes a lien
upon the half of the lots owned by the
appellants if not paid.
The two lots involved are lots IA and
Is, in block 7Q9.

MEADE AsPIREs TO CONGRESS

inqness to Enter the Race.
RELIINGHAM, March 29.-Ex-
Prosecuting Attorney A. E. Meade
has announced his candidacy for con-
yress. Mr.. Meade makes no further
excuse for so doing than that it is the
result of the solicitations Of his
friends, and that an ambition to serve
ones country in the halls Of congress
is laudable one.
With this announcement the line OF
battle between the railroad and Nc
Bride forces for the control of What
com county is clearly drawn. Inc
original program of the railroad forces
was to capture this county on cry
of c. |. Roth for governor, as opposed
to the plea of the Mcbride men for
an instructed delegation for Mayor A.
L. Black at Bellingham for congress-
The congressional representation
proposition seemed to be taking SO
much better with the people than the
gubernatorial that after a hurried con-
sultation on the railroad factions on
Wednesday the thing was switched
and it was determined to bring out
man for congress in opposition to Mr.
Blacks candidacy.
An attempt was made to get County
Treasurer r. +. Handschy to enter the
race against Mr.. Black, but this met
with an emphatic refusal from Mr.
Handschy who declared himself a sup
porter of Nj. Black and a believer in
the commission idea. Mr.. Meade had
ali along been candidate for the SUI
perior judgeship but the switch was
readily made. Mr.. Roth's guberna-
torial candidacy has disappeared.

ago which ended in the election of Sen
ator Foster to succeed ex-senator
Wilson, Humes was a candidate, and
Humes and Ankeny worker in harmony
against Wilson and Foster. Wilson
and Faster scored in that contest by
uniting on Foster under an agreement
which provided for subsequent support
for Wilson, an agreement which Fos-
ter declined to keep in the senatorial
contest of one year ago.
In the senatorial contest of one year
ago, Mayor Humes was again a sup
porter of Senator Ankeny, despite the
fact that King county had a candi-
date in the person Of Harold Preston
He went to Olympia to lend the influ=
ence of that support to the Walla Wall
la man.
When approached in January by
Samuel H. Piles to ask his position on
the matter Of becoming a candidate to
succeed himself, Mayor Humes is said
to have Informed Mr. Piles that he was
not candidate, but would join hands
with Mr.. Piles and his political friends
III the support of any one of a number
of men whom he named. OF the num-
Der of men named, Piles and the others
consulted selected Judge Ballinger as
the most availabel candidate, and
Mayor Humes joined vigorously in the
support of that candidate.
All factions of local republicanism
joined in the Ballinger campaign I'M
der the assurance that the city ad-
ministration should not be mixed up
in any way with state or senatorial
politics.
At a campaign meeting, held at the
Harmony club hall in the first pre-
circt, of the second ward, about a week
before the election, Mayor Humes in
troduced the subject of senatorial pol
tiles by declaring for the election of
Piles to the senate.
This declaration from a platform on
which Judge Ballinger sat at the time,
angered some of the supporters of
John L. Wilson, and they took the Bal
linger campaign committee to task for
permitting it. The committeeman de-
clared that they were in 10 way re-
sponsible for Mayor Humes' utter
ances on that occasion. Mayor Humes
afterward ceased to advocate Piles
election from the stump.
The appointment which Judge
Humes desires is that of judge for
the first judicial division of Alaska, of
which Melville c. Brown is now judge.
The judicial headquarters Of the dis
trict are at Juneau, though sessions of
the court are held at other points in
the district.
Judge Brown is still on the bench,
but the program which contemplates
the appointment of Humes in his stead
contemplates also the appointment of
Judge Brown as governor of Alaska
to succeed Governor John G. Brady.

Garcia went back to the tree, and while he was taking a cartridge out of his belt, the elder Brown shot him through the heart.
 The Browns went to Ash Fork and gave themselves up to Consta- ble Foley. The latter went to the scene of the shooting, and found Algin still alive, though shot through the brain. Just after Fo~ ley had washed the Mexican's face, he expired.
 It will be seen that the Browns narrowly escaped being killed. Had Garcia's rife been loaded when he held it to the elder Browns breast he would have killed him and then killed the son.-Prescott Herald Nov. 4.

When it is remembered that the original Guggenheim i'm vestments in Leadville was only $5.O0O, and that in barely quarter of century the profits of mining and smelling have caused this $5,- GOO to grow until at the lowest esti- mate the value of the Guggenheim holdings is at least $50, DOC, ,OOO, one gets a good Idea of what the legiti- mate profits of mining may some times be.

Last Saturday evening the Ea- gles' band, of Prescott, came here at the solicitation and expense of the county republican candidates for the purpose of furnishing music for their political meeting. While the band is made up of Eagles and goes under that name, it's services may at times be secured by those who have the price and want to hear good music. Before returning Sunday to Prescott they gave an open air concert in front of the Grand Canyon hotel which was greatly appreciated by our citizens. Will Tinker, an old time Flagstaff typo, is acting treasurer and mas ter in chief of the big bass drum. "Bill" watches with Eagle eyes to see that none of the rest of the band boys get more than just little.

FOR BULLETS ALONE
A Lesson to be Learned from
 the Jap Army.

The Japanese army engaged in shooting the Russians is teaching the rest of the world how to live. The great lesson of this war is that death from disease incident to cam paigning can be prevented. Major Louis L. Seaman, military medi- cal man back from Japan. read a paper before the Association of Military Surgeons at St. Louis last week that contained some marvel ous information. When Japan be gan to prepare for fighting the greatest attention was paid to the medical department. A great Ja- panese medical authority said the Russians may put 100000 in the field. Many of them will die from army life diseases. Japan will put 5OO,OOO men in the field. None will die from other causes than col lisions in battle.
 Up to July 1 there were no dis eases in the Japanese army. There were no typhoid and other intes- tinal diseases that marked the camps of Alger, Chica mauga and Miama during the Spanish-Ameri- can war with Spain 70 per cent. of the soldiers that perished died from disease. Two hundred and sixty men were killed, and 3,S62 died in camps.
 Up to July 1 the proportion oi Japanese soldiers dying from dis ease to those killed was 2 per cent The Japanese have abolished sick ness from the army.
 They did it. Dr. Seaman says, by testing all water to be used fol drinking. The soldiers were lec- tured on the proper foods to eat The smallest squad has a portable bath. So thorough are the Japan csc that the soldiers are directed tc keep their finger nails closely pared and clean.
 Of the thousand returned wound 1 ed tO ToEiO hefOre Julv mt onf died. There are no fever camps as there were in this country si1 years ago.
 Thus, Japan saves all her troops for the bullet. The ''silent foe,' says the military observer, claims none.
 The peaceful nations can learr from Japan that disease is a mat ter of neglect.

ARIZONA MADE A HIT
What This Territory Gained at
 the Worlds Fair.

" AAiAo III OLAaeAA1 AeA w AAS>0 w SA-~ Phoenix Republican, under date of Oct. 24, from St. Louis, says:
 Arizona has certainly done her self proud at the worlds fair, as ev- idepced by her commendable exhib- it's and the recognition given by the jury of awards. While in some in- stances her displays have not been the largest nor yet the most expen- sive and elaborate in installation, still no other state or territory in the union, unless California, was capable of providing such a varied exhibit of products demonstrating the many natural resources of our mineral and agricultural wealth The Arizona commission has stood we'll with the chiefs of the various departments, principally for the reason that they have followed their instructions in the installation of their exhibits and have given them little trouble in registering kicks"
 In the Agricultural exhibits, Ari- zona received gold medals for all falfa and olive oil. The oil was subjected to the most severe tests; Japanese expert tester was called to decide on points of strictest merit. In this department, six sill yer and twenty-four bronze medals were awarded on various other ex- hibits. A gold prize was given Ari- zona for installation and presenta- ton of her mineral exhibit, the in- stallation being complete on the day of opening. A gold medal was given on copper displays, and six silver prizes were taken for asbes- tos, lithograp phic stones, onyx and other mineral exhibits. In the ed- ucation department, silver medals were awarded for installation, and one each to the university, the two Normals, the Phoenix schools, the Tucson schools, the Indian school, and one to Mrs. Ernest Ford, the custodian, for efficiency. Awards will not be made in the horticul- tural department until after the close of the fair, owing to the daily replenishing of exhibits. Arizona stands high at the present time, and will doubtless take the grand prize over all for grape fruit, and will re- ceive good awards for oranges and lemons.
 The local press has frequently given flattering notices of our cit rus displays. Both the agricultural and the horticultural exhibits and been embellished with about sev- enty-fve large photographs show. ing the country around Phoenix in the highest state of cultivation, and these excellent pictures speak vol umes for the fertility of the soil and the variety of products grown. Pic. lures rather than wordy descrip tions more readily catch the eye and rivet the attention in fair where everybody is bidding for notice The exhibits of our home products perhaps have not appealed to some of our citizens visiting the fair, al familiarity with these things seldom arouses enthusiasm, but Arizons has been we'll advertised by reason of her exhibits, and has demon
 strated to the world the fertility O.
 her soil and her great mineral ano agricultural possibilities.

ARIZONA TRAGEDIES
Dead Men Discovered in Old
 Desert We'll.

1s W OOo W oAo os A SAAA AtANOAAAAy ' and Bill Ramon have been out to- ward Quartzite, cleaning out what is known as Desert Well for the Amalgamated Gold Mines company.
 One day, while McSherry was working in the bottom of the we'll, he dug up part of the bones of a man. The light was not very good and the bones were badly shattered, but he found the front part of a skull, containing the eye-holes and forehead, sufficient to identify the find as human bones. At different times afterward other bones were un- covered, until enough were brought to light to satisfy the gentlemen, after a careful investigation, that at least three human beings had found their last resting place at the bot tom of the we'll.
 When these bones were hoisted to the surface the action of the air caused them to immediately crum- ble to dust, and it was therefore impossible to study them carefully. Part of the dust resulting was brought to this place.
 This well has a history almost as old as that of Arizona itself. It was dug in 1865 by man named McMullen, and was known as Mo Mullen's we'll for many years. Nc Mullen conducted station at that point until about 1871. Since that time the place has been practically abandoned until the Amalgamated Gold Mines company wished to use it and had it cleaned out. The we'll is on the line of the old Ari- zona- California stage and freight road which, for some years, was a well-traveled thoroughfare.
 There was a rumor in circulation several years ago that the remains of man had been found in the we'll, but it is hard to confirm it's truth at this late day.
 There have also been ugly ru- mors to the effect that several men have been seen going in that direc- ton, with the intention of making the wells a camping place, and nothing ever being heard of them afterward.
 This grewsome find will, no doubt, lead to much speculation and may be the means of bringing to light a series of past tragedies similar to I the Bender murders-News-Herald.
 A communication has been re-
