THE PILGRIM ON THE GILA.

The democratic candidate for dele
 gate to congress this year, and that's
 an old story and his spell binders have
 been finding fault with Fowler on ac-
 count of his being paid salary by
 some one as they say. There is an old
 adage about what man should not do
 who lives in glass house. The money
 consideration paid for services render
 ed is one which Mir. Smith should be
 careful about as he resides in a glass
 house.
 To refer to the Wham robbery is to bring Mark A. in as leading charac-
 ter in that drama. Some have forgotten
 and newcomers to the territory never
 have heard of this chapter in Our
 Marks fife since he left Kentucky and began doing politics in Arizona.
 In reminiscent mood it may be stat
 ed that along about '89 Major Wham
 was paymaster in the army. One day he was travelling in an army am
 bulance towards a military post in southeastern Arizona with an escort of soldiers. He had with him some twenty thousand dollars to pay off Uncle Sam's soldier boys. Suddenly without warning the party was attack ed by highway robbers and after a short fight the thieves won out and carried off the money.
 In course of time several persous were arrested and indicted in the United States court charged with rob- ping the United States government of this twenty thousand dollars mention ed above. The United States was named as the plaintiff. At that time Mark Smith, the same Mark Smith, the | leader of Arizona democracy of today, | was our delegate in congress. He was 1 the salaried officer of the government | receiving five thousand dollars year and mileage out of the national treas ury, sworn to defend the government ! against all evils.
 Mark had practiced law, when not | enacting the character of delegate in The defendants charged with this Wham robbery wanted a good lawyer, one who had practiced before the bar, and having plenty of money Mark Smith to defend them When a lawyer is retained to defend criminals a contemporaneous act is the payment of fee, If the defendant or his friends have money. So, Mark, loath permitted himself to be over persuaded and he appeared as counsel for the defendants in tbis fa- nous case. He forsook his duties as his salary however con- tinuing, and defended in this case, against the United States, where his clients were charged with having robbed a government official of money belonging to the govern nent. In determining whose money Mark received for defending these persons, one would of course be led nto the domain of conjecture. Some people have been so mean as to sug- yestj that Mark was so proud of his clients that he had his picture taken with them. But Owen WIster tells the whole story in "The Pilgrim on the iila."

Now, so far as this paper supporting Mark Smith is concerned. we wish it distinctly under stood that we do not propose to publish lot of falsehoods in supporting his candidacy, nor do we propose to try to fool the people by publishing lot of congregations and insinuations that border on untruth- fulness. Herald.
 We'll, then come out and give us something bona fide about Mark Smith, either one way or the other. It's about time to "open up." and it's a long time between drinks on the subject anyway.

It is really astonishing to note the measures the democratic party will re- sort too to discourage capital coming into the territory. With scarcely an exception every important enterprise inauguarated in Yavapai county has been the work of republican or his friends and why the "Courier" as the organ of the democratic party, and the party candidates continually insist on abusing this influence for good is be- yond our comprehension. Yet they do it and hope to win thereby, but the day is at hand when the voter thinks for himself and will vote as he thinks the democratic party and the Courier notwithstanding.

The candidacy of W. K. Flora, for the office of probate judge, continues to evoke favorable comment from democrats and republicans alike; he is justly in good standing with all classes of our citizens, and it is gen. erally conceded, if elected, would make a most excellent official. There seems to be strong feeling abroad and sensibly so-that he would be a

decks were opened so that the flying spray and

made it untenantable The captain was willing
to pay the men, but the Brtise Consul ordered
them to stay by the ship. and the captain accord

in the face of their leaving the ship. Wreckers
