Kept In Touch.

Many of the ranchmen, who did not
stand in with the outlaws, but who
dared not openly stand against them,
kept in touch with them constantly,
and it has become positively known
that the bandits have been making
their rendezvous about fifty miles north
of Culbertson. In fact there has not
been a week during the past two
months when some member of the
band has not been seen. But the re-
gion was getting too warm for them
and they have left for parts unknown.
To John A. Davis, as much as to
any other man is due the credit for
scattering the gang. He was appoint
ed deputy sheriff a month ago, and has
camped on the trail of the outlaws
almost night and day ever since.
Tireless Effort.
Were it not for the tireless and cour-
ageous efforts of Davis, who has been
the leader in every movement for the
determination of the gang, the outlaws
would still be operating in security. In

GIRL CHARGED WITH BLAckMA,L
Millionaire Physician of Butte, Mon
tana, Alleged Victim.

RITE, Mont. May 31-Dr 0. b.
,v,itford q millionaire, and one of the
most prominent physicians IN BUTTE
bas caused the arrest at Los Angeles,
Gal of Miss Bessie Driscoll, for alleg-
ed attempt to wiring blackmail money
from him.
Miss Driscoll is a pretty, but Hitter
ata vo1lng woman, about 26 years or
age. She poses as the mother OF
child and charges DR.. o. B. WhItforo
with being it's father. The existence
of the child is denied by Whitford.
The actions of Miss Driscoll, It IS
said, became very annoying TO Dr
yVhitford, and some time ago he gave
The woman $4,000 as hush money.
This, it is alleged, did not satisfy her.
and she clamored for $4,000 more un-
der y threat of sending the baby to the
physicians wife in Butte. This last
threat caused DR.. Whitford to have her
arrested.
Girl Only a Tool.
Detectives who have been shadoWing
Miss Driscoll say she is only the tool
of a mysterious man blackmailer, and
that he has greedily gObbled up her
$4,000, giving her but miserable atten-
ton and dribbling money out to her
in small amounts.
Although the Driscoll girl writes to
Or. Whitford fascinating descriptions
of her baby playing about the room as
l write" etc, the dectives claim she
has no baby, building up for her elder
~ victims discomfort a baby version
of the famous story of "Margery
Dove
On the other hand, the girl claims
she is the victim of this rich old man,
who was her doctor, and in whose ga
years she trusted too much. DR.. Whit
ford, she declares, sent her to New Jer-
sey to bear her suffering alone, While
he continued to maintain an honored
position in Butte society. She says he
promised to send her $4,000 but is now
trying to scare her out of the amount
by having her arrested.
Dr. Whitford denies the charges of
the girl in toto. He acknowledges hav-
ing paid Miss Drscoll $4,000, preferring
TO be blackmailed to that extent rather
than have his name dragged in the
mire by her allegations and being made
q target for ScandalOus gossip.
The whole affair has caused a SEN
SatiOn.

PRISE IN THE LEGISLATIVE RACE.
Cuthbert Lawyer Announced His Cand-

Election Today will Be'a Hot One.

What promised to be one of the
Quietest elections for the nomination
of q representative ever known oyer
10 Randolph county suddenly and un-
expectedly assumed lurid hue, and in
the primary today that county will be
stirred as it has seldom been before.
Up to last Friday there were only
two candidates In the race for repre-.
sentative-HOn. L. A. Dugan, the
present member, aud Rev. w. D. Ham
mack, an ex representative. Both of
these gen tlemen were understood to be
pronounced prohibitlonists, and the
contest between them scarcely
rroused any interest. The ituation
was radically changed Friday, how.
ever, by the announcement of Colonel
Richard Terry, a young lawyer of
Cuthbert, on dispensary platform.
The entry of Mr.. Terry put fuel
under the political pot, and it instantly
| began to boil at a furious rate. Both
sides care actively and earnestly at
work, and although Mr.. Terry has
been in the race but five or six days
the result of the balloting today cannot
be predicted with any certainty.

election, and that nothing is being

Bisbee daily review., 1904-07-21

The Phoenix Republican takes de light in the fact that socialist ticket has been nominated in the territory and sees certain victory for the Re publican party as a result. It is true that the Socialist party will poll some votes in the territory. but with the Republican record favoring joint statehood staring Arizona voters in the face, it takes man whose imagin- ation has been expanded by the burn ing rays of a Maricopa sun to make predictions of a Republican victory. The Socialists evidently intend to pad de their own canoe this campaign. They are the first in the field with a candidate, without the consent or ad- vice of either of the old parties. We have not been favored with a copy of the Socialist platform but it cannot be worse than the silence Of the Republi- can National Platform on the subject of statehood for Arizona.

PRESIDENTS" YACHTS.
Beat Bard

It is announced from Oyster Bay that neither of the government yachts. the Mayflower or the sylph, is at that port this year.
 The reason no man can fail to see. This is the year for the presidential election.
 Last year the Sylph was in commis- sion at Oyster Bay during the entire summer. She belongs to the govern ment, the expense of running her fall ing upon the government al all times. and yet President Roosevelt insisted upon having her there for the per sonal pleasure of himself and the members of his family. The same was true the year before. either in re. gard to the Sylph or the Mayflower. both of which have been so generally misused in this way that high officials and the inspired newspapers have fall en into the habit of calling them the presidents yachts.
 Judging by the experience of the past, there can be little doubt where the Sylph and Mayflower will be next year, and the year after, and the year after that, in case the American people should elect Mir. Roosevelt president. They will be at Oyster Bay or any other point which may suit the personal convenience of the president and the members of his family, for by that time they will have again become presidents yacht"
 But this year they are permitted to attend to the legitimate business of the government for which, theoretical ly, at least. they are intended. This is the year of the presidential cleo ton.

their wishes and desires in the mat ter.
 Now we find that the Senatorial cam paign is on again in Southern Califor- mia and Bard is the candidate for re- election from the southern part of the state, in the event of course that the Republican party is successful. The people of Southern California have the opportunity now to have their wishes and desires properly represent ed by relegating Bard to the rear and electing as his successor a man who is friend to the west and at the same time showing to the people of Arizona that Southern California is truly the friend of this territory.
 The reelection of Bard to the Sen ate from Southern California to re sume his unwarranted attacks upon this territory VIII be a piece of brazen effrontery which the people of Ari- zona will consider in the light of a per sonal insult.
 With Arizona a state in the union the people of Southern California can rest assured that the representatives from this state would be disposed to vote for and urge those matters which were for the benefit of California In. stead of California being represented by two United States Senators her in. terests would be looked after by four Senators. The West needs at this time all the representation at Washing ton she can muster, and when Arizona al this writing possesses more tax able wealth and population than thir. teen other states at the time they were admitted, by what course of req. soning the Senator opposed the ad- mission of this territory, is beyond our understanding.
 Bard must not be returned 10 the Senate from California. That is the issue. He does not represent the Western idea. He is easily influenc- ed by the powers at Washington and is detriment not only to the best ;... terests of Arizona but 10 that of South ern California as well.

AHIZONA'S ENEMY LIVES CLOSE BY.

IL is not a long time ago since Ari- zona stood at the threshold of the Senate knocking at the door for ad- mission to single statehood. The bill was passed by the House and was on the calendar of the Senate, where according to previous pledges made by both parties in their national platforms, the people of Arizona were expecting the passage of the bill. Just as the people of this territory were congratu- lating themselves on the fact that the.r long struggle for emancipation from territorial bondage had been crowned with success. their cup of happiness was struck to the ground, and the hand that slapped Arizona in the face belonged 10 Q Senator from California
 When the information was flashed across the country that Bard of Cali fornia was leading the opposition to the best interests of this territory the peo- pie of Arizona were justly incensed. They had not expected an attack from that quarter. It was supposed by the friends of Arizona that the Sena- tor. who halls from Southern Cali fornia, was familiar with the wealth and resources of this territory. That he had been thrown in contact with the business men of Arizona who look ed upon Southern California as their trade center, and knew their wishes in this matter. That at least he was familiar with the sentiment of his own portion of the state where sev- en-y-fve-yes ninety per cent of the population were hoping and using their influence to secure for Arizona her guaranteed rights under the con. stitution.
 But this man Bard proved a traitor not only to the people of Arizona, upon who We relied in our hour of need but he willfully misrepresented the sentiment and wishes of his own con stituency.
 Not content to vote against the bill under the sting of the party lash, he went further than that. When the single statehood bill was called he took the floor in the Senate and ir a set speech deliberately attacked Arizona, it's people and it's advantages and went even further that that in an attempt to belittle the growth ana prosperity of our territory. His ig norance displayed upon industrial con ditioDs in Arizona was astounding ana at the conclusion of his remarkable tirade made the statement that Ari zona had reached the limit of it's de yelopment in a mining way. Thi. is only one of great many misleading statements made, not supported by : single evidence of fact.
 To be deceived and misrepresente. was enough to arouse the ire of tn. average Arizonan. Protests began {, pour into Southern California, and il answer to these protests the peopl of Southern California assured us tha this man Bard had misrepresente'
