HARRY HlBBEN AT PRESCOTT
Tells the Herald About Coconino
 and the Recent Election

Harry c. Hibben, who was re- gently in Prescott from Flagstaff, has just been elected county re- corder of Coconino county for a third term by the largest majority ever given a candidate for office in that county.
 The results are all in in Coco nino county, and show that Fowler has been given a majority over Smith of about T votes. He made strong run among the cattle and sheep men, who wanted some of the irrigation projects placed there.
 The hardest fight on in Coconino was between E. M Doe and Henry F. Ashurst for district Attorney. Ashurst. who is a democrat, was a member of the last legislative coun- cil, and voted against the Cowan bill.
 This was used against the demo- cratic candidate. Doe had just served one term as district attorney and was expected to win out. As it is he has been defeated by Ash urst by majority of about forty five votes.
 Charles Neal, editor of the Will jams News, was elected to the as- sembly, and Thomas Devine as county treasurer. These are two of the democrats who got into office in Coconino.
 Hibben feels justly elated over the large majority that his constit- uency gave him. He won out with about 4O8 votes to spare. Coconino cast about HOO votes, of which Hibben got about 75O.
 Recorder Hibben stated that he has never charged Coconino county one cent for deputies, paying all of them employed in his office out of his own pocket. This he does out of large fees that come into his office every month.
 "Now that there are two repub licans on the board of supervisors, said Recorder Hibben, Eve are going to do still more for the county. 1 will be made clerk of the board of supervisors without salary"
 Harry Henderson, who was elect ed sheriff, made strong race, and was elected by good majority. Hibben and Henderson recently took the Prescott Eagles band in hand when they visited Williams and gave them royal time.
 Speaking about the conditions in Coconino county: Recorder Hibben said that all the sawmilIs are run ming, and there is plenty of work for those who are able to do that line. A large part of the cattle and sheep have recently been sent to California for the winter market.
 Among the heavy shippers who have all sold to the Cudahy Pack ing company are Vail & Black, Durham & Roden, Campbell & Francis, Anderson & Woolfolk, and Chas. Shultz.

Legislative Speakership

In less than two months the new Arizona legislators will assemble in Phoenix for the biennial law making meet, and about the first duty confronting them will be the selection of a presiding officer for each branch of that body. To the mbers-e elect in the lower house we wish to recommend for the speakership in their room the cho- sen assemblyman from Yuma county-Hon. w. F. Timmons. To all who know him his high fitness for the place is plainly apparent First, he is man of the people, of big body, big brain and big soul. Then, he is a lawyer of brilliance and force and a fluent and eloquent talker. Taken all in all, Timmons Is the peer of any man that will sit in either branch of the coming leg islature. If chosen speaker, as we predict he will be, he will prove a parliamentarian of tact and ability, whose rulings will be fair and whose decisions will be firm. He will re- fleet credit upon himself, his county and his party.-Yuma Sun.

GRAZING ON FOREST RESERVE
Number of Sheep, Horses and
 Cattle to Be Permitted

Forest Supervisor Breen has been advised by the department of the interior that 100000 head of sheep will be allowed to graze on the San Francisco Mountains forest reserve for the season of 1905, under the same conditions and rules govern ing sheep grazing last year on the same areas, from April 1st to De- cember 1st.
 Thirty thousand head of cattle and horses will be allowed to graze on this reserve.
 On the Black Mesa forest reserve 100000 head of sheep will be al lowed to be grazed for the coming season under the same rules as last season. Townships 6 north, ranges 27, 2S and 29 east, heretofore ex- cluded area where sheep were not allowed to graze, will be opened up in order that a better division dis tribution of sheep in the east divis- ions of the reserve may be had and relieve the congested condition of last season.
 Thirty thousand head of cattle and horses will be permitted to be grazed on this reserve for the sea son of 1905, under the same rules as last year with the exception of that part of the reserve under the rim will be open to the stock be- longing to actual residents within the reserve. Stock owned by set tiers living outside the reserve will be required to graze north of the rim. This ruling is made neces- sary by reason of past over grazing of the range under the rim.

ready crowd already there he was too

the laws Of convenience by making q
distinction In his use of knife and
fork.
Then, too, his voice was too soft and
his language too precise. These evil
dences of superiority ranked under the
greasy blue shirts affected by the min
ers and freighters.
Before barrels entrance another had
been looked at askance. This other
was a white-faced man in corduroys
with "easterner' and "tenderfoot"
written large in person and manner.
His reserve was stretched to the
point of timidity and before he had
used plate, knife and fork he had sur
reptitiously wiped them on the edge of
the table cloth.
That of itself was an insult which
might have resulted in gun-play had
the proprietor been a witness. The
stranger was slender, like Darrell, had
the same dark eyes and closely cropped
hair and was near the same height.
His face was smooth, however, while
Darrell had q neatly trimmed full
beard. There was something about
the stranger that held barrels eye.
A man in barrels peculiar line is
perforce q reader Of character. After
little study over the bacon, beans.
coffee and sour dough bread, Darrell
concluded that the gentleman in cor
duroys had been driven west under the
spur of conscience.
Possibly his absence had left an I'M
profitable void in some eastern bank,
or other financial institution.
The coming Of Darrell caused gen.
eral attention to withdraw itself from
the tenderfoot and focus upon him.
Yet, although his superiority was man
ifest, every man in the room knew that
the second stranger was not q raw
recruit in the ranks of the frontier.
Finishing his meal under running
fire of half yelled sneers and covert
jests, Darrell calmly rose and went out.

withdrawing his attention from Mex
lean bag who, for four bits, was read

best go to strike paying lead.
Darrell nodded as he settled his bill

luck?" proceeded the proprietor tenta-

the clerks pen ceased suddenly when
he saw a stranger in the ofice-a
stranger with one hand behind him.
Under his coat.
''Well?" queried the clerk.

answered Darrell.
Hes out OF town. said the clerk.
A shadow of disappointment crossed
barrels face as the hand was with
drawn from under the coat.

'In time for the games at Hawk
bills"
'If left few lines for him would
he see them If he gets back?"

1--WE known him for a good many
years"
Darrell was ushered into the other
apartment and the clerk placed paper,
pens and envelopes at barrels dis
posal. AS he seated himself, Darrell
saw a revolver lying on the desk by
the inkwell.
The weapon had an ebony stock,
carved with deaths head. 1t was
Murgatroyd's. as Darrell well knew, and
by what chance had its owner gone
into the hills without It?
The clerk noticed barrels curious
glance at the f1rearm.
That's the old MANS" he vouch-
safed; first timeI ever knew him to go
away and forget it. Make yourself at
home. What name did you say?"
Nathan"
Cali right, Mr.. Nathan. Nothing in
this layout is too good for the old
mans friends. If you don't see what
you want, ask for it"
Much obliged"
The clerk withdrew and resumed his
penwork in the outer Office. Picking
up the pen, Darrell wrote as follows:
Mr.. Darrell presents his compliments
to Mr.. Murgatroyd and desires to state
that he is now in town awaiting Mr..
Murgatroyd's pleasure. Mr.. Darrell also
wishes it known that he can be found
this evening at Mr.. Hawkbiil Hender-
sons. He trusts Mr.. Murgatroyd will
embrace his opportunity"
Darrell knew his arrival in camp
would be noised abroad and reach his
enemy's ears. Murgatroyd's absence
from Sandy Bar, therefore, made a
sudden and unexpected meeting i'm
possible.
Darrell therefore desired the notifi-
cation to come through himself, in his
own way. Having addressed the en-
velope, he inclosed the folded sheet,
laid the communication on the desk
and placed the revolver on it for
paperWeight.
Then, lighting cigar, he leaned
back in the chair, wondering why fate
couldn't be kind and send Murgatroyd
to him as he was then-in his enemy's
own room with his enemy's own re-
volver within easy reach. Presently
the artfulness of Murgatroyd's charac-
ter suggested something and the re-
volver suggested something else.
