Instruct Delegates.

Judge D. H. Pinney, of Phenix, an
old time republican, but who has not
taken an active interest in politics for
the past few years, believes the re-
publicans of Arizona should send an
instructed delegation to Chicago, and
that the delegation should be instruct
ed for Theodore Roosevelt. In a letter
to the Phenix Gazette, Judge Pinney
says:
''I noticed the interview of F. Nj.
Murphy in the Republican in regard
to selecting delegates to the national
convention. Mr.. Murphy has done and
is doing much for this territory, but,I
differ from him as to the action that
should be taken at this time by the
territorial convention. President
Roosevelt assumed control Of the ad-
ministration under trying circum-
stances. He has maintained himself
by his conduct of national affairs with
such great satisfaction 10 the people
that all the states will declare for
him. Arizona being one of the first
to hold its convention, should declare
for him with no uncertain sound. 1t
will be an act of justice to the presi-
dent, who has tried to do SO much for
this territory, and 1t will be an act of
Justice to Arizona as we'll. -

Visit of Pioneer.

Hon. Patrick Moore, of Kansas City,
arrived i'm Phenix this morning. When
interviewed by a reporter, be said.
'This is my first visit to Arizona
since 1866. At that time the Apaches
we're on the warpath; there was not a
white settler from the Rio Grande to
Beaumont, Cal. At that time l was in
the regiment of General Candy, who
was stationed at Fort Wingate.'
In speaking OF the way Phenix came
to be settled, Mr.. Moore said:
cat the outbreak of the war, a
strong detachment of southern troops
were sent against General Candy.
A large party of volunteers from Cal
ifornia came to our aid and helped
defeat the confederates. These volun.
teers we're then disbanded, and finding
the country rich they stayed with it,
and some came to the Salt river val
ley. l am greatly pleased with the re-
markable changes in the looks of Ari-

SAND BAGGED
AND ROBBED
Prof. Mcmahon Way
Laid Last Night.
Assaulted on Principal Street of
City at s O'clock Last Night.
A Good Haul.

One of the most daring holdups
that has taken place in the city for a
good while was enacted on West Cur
ley street between eight and $50
O'Clock last night, the scene being
near the place where a similar occur
renee took place few evenings ago.
Prof. Mcmahon, the instructor for
the Athletic club, was returning home
from town and the last thing he knew
was that he was near the rear of Fred
Brecht's blacksmith shop, near the
Granite creek bridge. He says he
must have been struck with a sand
bag as he never knew when he was
hit, even, and does not know how
long he laid on the ground. The
first he realized was when Price
Thompson and Pete Davis came to
him out in the street and spoke to
him. They saw him wandering around
in the middle of the street bleeding
profusely and ran to his assistance.
He was taken to the club rooms and
the blood and dirt washed off his
head. when it was found that several
of his teeth we're missing and his head
showed evidences of having been
struck with some hard blunt intru-
ment.
After his wounds had been dressed
he was taken home and has been con-
fined to his room today and feels
pretty badly knocked out.
After being knocked unconscious he
was robbed of Sl07 and six shooter.
The money had been drawn for the
purpose of paying several bills about
town and it is supposed that some one
who saw him have the money had
laid for him.
This morning So calibre six shooter
was found by Robert Hartin, behind
the old barn near the blacksmith
shop, where the robber or robbers
stopped, for the knock out blow was
given so quickly and from behind,
that Prof. Mcmahon never saw his as
sailant and does not know whether
there was one or more.
The officers report that there was
another attempted holdup about six
o'clock this morning, when a man at
tempted to hold up the old gentleman
who takes care of the o. K. Store.
He was just coming out of the store
when the fellow showed a gun at him
but the old gentleman was too much
for the bighwayman and snatched the
pistol from his hand when the fellow
ran like deer and the old gentleman
could not stop him.

Death of G. W, Sanders.

George W. Sanders, we'll known as a
mining man, having had charge of the
Vulture mines for some years, died
some time shortly after one O'Clock
yesterday morning at his home on
East Adams street.
The deceased was we'll known in Ar
iona and had lived here for a num-
Der of years. He was born in Fl. Gov
ington, N. Y, in 1889, and served
during the civil war in Company G of
the First Ohio artillery.
Shortly after the war he came west,
and spent some time in California and
Nevada before settling in Arizona. He
has always taken an active interest in
the work of the G. A. R., and at the
last grand encampment was elected
department commander.
He leaves, besides his wife, two
children, George E. Sanders and Mrs.
c. Osgood of Los Angeles.
The funeral arrangements have not
yet been made, pending advices from
the relatives, who have been tele-
grapbed. 1t will be held under the
auspices of the local commandery of
the G. A. R.-Gazette.

pany, left last week for a prospecting
trip for oil along the Verde river
near where they now have several oil
claims located. Mr.. Heslet returned
to Prescott last night very enthus.
iastic over discovery they made. He
says they found a soft oil sand which
has the same smell as the hard rock
which has been pronounced by quite
a number Of oil expert to be strong
indications of oil. He says the sand
strongly resembles sand which has
contained oil. They found what they
believe to be an oil seepage at the foot
of a mountain, and think by explor-

The Report is Denied.

Supt. ". A. Drake arrived this
morning from the south where he in
company with F. NJ. Murphy had. been
making trip of inspection over the
route of the Phenix & Eastern road.
In an interview with a Phenix paper
yesterday Mr.. Drake stated that every
thing was progressing in fairly salts
factory manner, though from the ma
ture of the work it was proceeding
slowly. When asked about the rumor
that the road would not go to. Benson,
be said he bad heard nothing of it,
and that from all his information the
road would terminate at that point.
Several small changes in the. route
have been made, which probably gave
rise to the rumor. These changes were
made when better routes had been
found, as is the case in all railroad
construction. Parties of surveyors are
now out in the hills in that country
running lines and this would help in
giving the Impression that the line
was to be entirely changed. These
lines were being run to determine the
feasibility of railroad construction
through several mining regions near
the present line of the Phenix & East
ern, but that no other road had been
definitely planned.
Mr.. Drake also stated that Joe Nc
Cornell was supposed to leave Crown
King yesterday to bring his crew
down to commence work on the Buttes
tunnel. This tunnel is practically
completed, but work has been sus-
pended for some time. It is $50 feet
in length. Two tunnels are found be-
tween the Buttes and Kelvin, each
about 100 feet in length.
Business on the Florence line does
as yet not amount to much. The train
has yet commenced carrying mail, but
Wells Fargo express is carried. Some
large shipments of freight have bean
made, but the public has not yet got
ten in the habit of taking advantages
of the line.

INSTRUCTED OR
UNRESTRICTED
A Plain Statement of
the Question.
Do Arizona Republicans Uphold
the National and Territorial
Administrations.

The Martinez News-Hersl1 this
week contains a very timely article on
the question of instructed or unin-
structed delegates to the national re
publican convention at Chicago. The
following is taken from the article,
which is quite lengthy and deals with
the subject from several standpoints:
Who will dictate the national pol
icy for Arizona republicans?
In this question every voter of Ari-
IONA, and every one interested in her
welfare, should use his influence for
what he thinks is right.
There is a sentiment abroad in the
territory that tinges of "Anti." 1t
is a sentiment somewhat opposed to
the national administration, and more
strongly opposed to the present terri
torial administration.
If this anti spirit should control the
stand that Arizona is to take in the
national policy of Arizona, it would
mean that Arizona will send unin-
structed delegates to the national con-
vention.
An uninstructed delegation this
time must mean that those advocating
it must not have faith in the ability
of their candidate to win, or that
they wish to 60 with their hands out
for favors of some kind, or that they
wish to fight Theodore Roosevelt in
the event that they see a chance of
nominating some one else, or there
might be some other motive for an I'M
restricted delegation.
Does Arizona want, as small and
weak as she is, to go to the national
republican convention in a wishy-
washy condition, acknowledging no
friend, but ready to drift with which
ever wind may carry her along?
Does Arizona want to go to that
convention with an air which says too
our friend, Roosevelt, we are for
you, but we we're ashamed to say so,
lest you get left, and we would have
no chance 10 'fiop?'
Does Arizona wish to compliment
the administration which has given us
the first chance at national water stor-
age, and which has advanced US years
on the geological survey calendar!
Or does she want to 60 to Chicago in a
manner that will slap in the face the
only friend that the territory has
ever had in the presidential chair who
has ever done anything more for W
than promised?
Does Arizona wish TO stand by the
veteran governor whose efforts gave
Us the Cowan bill, and whose econ
