Some time back in the 40's,
old man Peter - kept hotei
at Smithville, then the seat O.
Justice for Lawrence county, and
at one term Of the circuit court
there Judge Scott, Prosecuting
Attorney Walker, lawyers James
Patterson, Wm. Byers, John
Byers, f. W. Desha, Frank Den
ton, B. H. Nicely and Green P.
Num- were in attendance. The
good old landlord feasted these
lawyers and his other guests on
fat bear meat during court, say
ing he had procured a nice bear
expressly for them. There were
no bears in all this hill country at
that time, and to have bear mea
on ones table was something out
of the usual order, and bear meat
had become 10 be great rarity
All the lawyers seemed to enjoy
the bear provided by old Peter
Al the next term of the circui
court, six months later, this SAM
crowd of lawyers was in attend
ance again. One night durinEi
this court. while they wes o,gs
sitting in a little office, spinning
yarns in a jovial way, a butt of d
fellow, a citizen of the town,
however, came into the crowd
and took rather an humble seat.
He said nothing for some time,
but finally inquired of the crowd
if they were stopping with old
man Peter again. One Of the
number said "yes," and the fell
low asked if Peter had given
them any bear meat this time.
On being informed that he had
not, the inquisitor wanted to
know if the crowd did not have
bear meat at the last court, and
somebody answered eyes" At
this the fellow burst into great
laughter, and when one of the
lawyers inquired the cause of his
merriment, said: "Well, fellows,
I'll tell you that Peter didn't
have bear meat for you last
court. The meat he told you was
bear was the meat of his old
black dog, 'Tige.' He had old
'Tige' in his cellar for two long
months, fattening him for you
lawyers to eat. Yes, fellows, it
was old 'Tige' sure enough"
Each lawyer placed his chin on
his shoulder and emptied the
contents of his stomach on the
floor, in an effort to get the last
remaining dregs Of 'Tige' out of
his stomach. This narrative was
related to me by one of the law
yers who sat at the table when
'Tige' was served, and six
months afterward, when that fell
low made his statement, this .aw'

4 among those who were loyal TO
his candidacy, and these are to
be found in all parts of the state.
AThe Record is not authorized to
Ispeak for Senator King, neither
does it know his feelings in the
matter, yet it feels safe in as
serting that the action of Gov.
Jeff Davis in championing the
candidacy of John S. Little is
largely responsible for Senator
Kings withdrawal from the race.
This paper does not wish to be
understood as believing that SEN
ator King is type of the coat
tail politician, who was relying
upon Gov. Davis to win his NOM
ination for him, but Senator
King, as any sensible man would
have done, must have reasoned
that with Attorney General Rog.
ers as strong factor in the race
as he is conceded on all sides to
be, and with Governor Davis
lusing his influence against him
and in the interest of another
candidate, he absolutely had NO
show to win. Senator King did
not expect Gov. Davis to openly
espouse his candidacy but he
and his friends certainly, in the
very nature of political events in
this state, as we'll as in the name
of fair-play, honor and decency,
had a right TO expect that if the
governor was not personally for
him for governor, he would keep
his hands out Of the fight and
make no attempt to Influence the
voters against him. There is no
getting around the fact that Gov.
Davis, under pretense of friend
! ship for Senator King, did fight
him, and fight him in the very
hardest way: Gov. Davis, in
his speeches over the state, when
referring to the governors race,
would say:
"Personally,[ am for King or
Lo gan, because they have always
been my political friends, but Mr..
Little will bo your next governor,
and he is an honest man.
And again:
"Gentlemen, John S. Little has
never been a supporter of mine,
but he has never done me any
harm, and he is going to be your
next governor.
What harder blow could Gov.
Davis deal Senator King than to
pretend to be friendly toward him
and in the same breath declare
he would be defeated?
| The fact that Gov. Davis pub
licly opposed the candidacy of
Senator King shows the ingrati-
tude of the man. He has not had
better friend in the state than
Dave King, and it is a we'll
known fact that Senator King has
worked hand in hand with him
in the carrying out Of his ideas
of reform, being always in po-
sition to advance them.
The fact that Gov. Davis took
up the candidacy of John S. Lit
tie shows another side Of the
man. Senator King has always
been Gov. Davis political friend.
John S, Little has always been
Gov. Davis political enemy.
Senator King was logical anti
trust candidate for governor,
having made a fight in two cam
paigns and in two sessions of the
state senate for an trust
law. John S, Little has served
five or six terms in congress and
hasn't created enough antitrust
record to raise suspicion. SEN
ator King has stumped the state
whenever Gov. Davis wanted Of
flee. John S. Little has acted
exactly to the contrary.

think it was in the year 1847
that John and Anthony Lafferty
u t. this country ard bought
and settled a little farm on Straw
berry, some five miles east of
here. They erected a little corn
mill on a branch on their farm.
The mill-house was built of round
logs, some ten or twelve feet
long and put on posts above high
water. This mill would grind
two or three bushels of corn every
hour. A boy could catch a nice
string of fish while his sack of
corn was being grouud into meal.

When we first began to have
preaching in this country, the
young men and ladies would car
ry their shoes and stockings in
their hands to near the church
house, if they had to to walk in
warm weather, then they would
turn out of the road and put them
on. When church was over the
young men and women would
carry their shoes and stockings
back home in their hands. This
was done in order to keep their
SHOES good and nice, for nice
pair of shoes was hard to get in
those days. The young people
did not consider it a hard task al
all to walk from one to. five miles
to attend church, school or any

EARLY HISTORY.

"reminiscences of the Settlement of Evening Shade and
Immediate Vicinity by { W. Shaver Pioneer.
The Coconino sun., 1905-05-06

We observe by reading several of the leading journals of New Mexico that the joint statehood league recently organized at Albuquerque is not likely to cut very big figure either in New Mexico or Arizona. The sentiment in New Mexico is growing stronger and stronger against joint statehood and now it is almost certain that a majority of that territory would join Arizona in refusing to accept joint statehood were bill passed through congress granting it. Both the gov ernor of New Mexico and the delegate to congress are against joint statehood and it is pretty certain that large majority of New Mexico would follow the lead of these influential gentlemen. The Santa t'e New Mexican, one of the strongest newspapers in our neighbor territory, is opposed to joint statehood and doing good work in carrying the people to that conclusion.
The Coconino sun., 1905-05-06

In addition to the efficient assist ance rendered to the postoffice in- spectors by the secret service men, who track suspects and aid in the arrests, the department of justice has issued instructions to the United States districts attorneys, wherever raids or arrests are made to render every pos sible assistance to the representatives of the other departments. The CO., operation of the detectives of two de- partments and the lawyers of third will, in the estimation of the high of ficials, rendered life unbea"abe for lot tery agents in this country and they are confident theevil will be thoroughly eradicated within a short time as re- sulL of the drastic course now being pursued. Within the past few days the postotfice department has, more- over, issued fraud orders against agents of the German State lottery, and the Hungarian lottery, both of which appear to have been do- ing thriving business in the United States.
