MahOney, who was yesterday appointed by Governor KID bev to be superintendent of the reform school at Benson, had to stand for con siderable joshing at the hands of his republican friends after his appoint ment was made public. The story simply shows MT. Mahoney up as the far-seeing Irishman he really Is. Wher the convention at Tucson over a year ago was fighting over the ques- ton of the next meeting place, YaVa- pal county and MaricOpa county dele cations were divided on the question of their choice. YaVapai favored l. Prescott and Maricopa favored Bis bee. Any single county could by it's vote make the choice, and Navajo county, through It's county chalIilldil' Mr. Mahoney, passed it's vote to the last. Yavapai delegates were most jubiIant, for it was nearly a cinch that they had won. the trip from Navajo to Bisbee being so much longer than the trip to Prescott. MT. Mahoney in a neat speech. however, cast his dele gation's vote for BiSbee, and that city was chosen. He is now accused by his friends of having known he was going to reside in Cochise as long as two years ago. MT. Mahoney denied the accusation. but declares he is glad the question has come up, for he will use it as an excuse for claiming friendship with the republicans of that county. 05 Der cent discount on all spring
