Brutal Crime

One of the most brutal crimes in the history of this county was com mitted at Nelson, in the eastern part of the county, last Tuesday afternoon. A Mexican named Duis Pena, who has been in the employ of the lime company at that place for year past, took his eight-year- old sister-in-la law into the woods and brutally assaulted her. After com hitting the crime he took the little one to her hone in fainting con- dition and told his wife that an h. dian committed the act and that he was going into the woods to get him. After the man had gone the child recovered sufficiently to tell the story of the horrible act, stating that Pena was the perpetrator. The child will probably die. Officers were notified and they are on the trail of the beast. He was last seen at a sheep camp north of Seligman, but as he is well known in that sec- tion it is more than probable that he will soon be captured.-King- man Miner.

The Arizona Medical associa ton, which has been in session at Pres colt for the past two days, ad- journed Friday, after selecting Phoenix as the place for holding the next convention, year hence. A banquet was rendered the doc- tors last night at the Hotel Burke.

RUINED LIFE ENDED
Suicide of H. L. ConIey. Santa Fe
 Agent at SeIisman

H. L. Conley, late Santa Fe agent at Seligman, committed suicide by shooting at Pointers store on the Indian reservation, twelve miles below the city, yesterday afternoon. Information of the tragedy was re- ceived by Acting Coroner Burnett early yesterday evening. He left as soon as possible for the reserva- tion and ordered a dead wagon to bring the body to town.
 The telephone message stated that Conley left Phoenix yesterday morn- ing driving a single horse and along in the afternoon he entered the store and having stood for a short time drew revolver and shot him. self through the heart. He left what was described by the message as a confession" the nature of which was not then made known to GIlc dCtiIlS COTOtleT.
 At first nothing could be learned of Conley here, but later in the evening when J. H. Hopkins, night clerk of the Hotel Adams, came on duty and heard of the suicide, he said that he knew Conley we'll. He himself had lived in Seligman and saw the man almost daily.
 Mir. Hopkins had known him to use company money and afterward make a winning and so square him self. MT. Hopkins therefore sur missed that he had been losing heavily and that he had come to Phoenix to see if he could not re- coup.
 The following statement or confess sion found written on a fy-leaf of a pocket dictionary, tells the whole story:
 "Tom Warden, Seligman, Ariz.:
 q have been gambling a great deal lately, and short time ago I was playing in big game, got to drinking, and when ] lost I went back to the office and got more money-company money-which I also lost. couldn't raise the money so took more company money to see if couldn't win enough with what l borrowed to make the short age good, but it was of no use. I take towards way of paying my just dues. Tell Mir. Summers, w. F. route agent, the money receipt book is in the back of the letter file.
 "H. L. CoNLEY."
 Only five cents was found in his pockets. There were several keys and other trinkets.-Republican, June 4.

LAND OFFICE IS
 SURE TO GO

" llltC ilO OllSldl OI dCl lldS OCCH made consolidating the Prescott and Tucson land offices, 1 feel safe in saying that such a thing will take place." said Receiver J. M. w. Moore, Thursday, to the Herald.
 "While in Washington, D. C.. Register Fen S. Hildreth has been practically assured by officials there that we will lose the office, though how soon cannot be said."
 Receiver Moore is satisfied be- yond all doubt that the office will be moved from this city, and that it will go either to Phoenix or Tue son. His preference is for the for mer place, because of it being the most centrally located point in Arizona.
 Hildreth has been in Washing ton to try to prevent the office from being taken away from Prescott, but if all reports are correct, he has failed, and Prescott must lose about the only federal office it had left.
 No fight is being made to retain the office in Prescott. All efforts are being put forth to bring about the consolidation of the Prescott and Tucson land offices and their establishment in Phoenix.
 Late Thursday evening Frank M. Murphy sent telegram to Mayor J. c. Adams of Phoenix, stating that if the people of that city work in harmony with Prescott, the new land office may be secured for Phoe- nix.
 MT. Murphy said in his telegram that the most favorable representa- tions in behalf of Phoenix has been made to the Washington authori- ties. It has been pointed out that the office of surveyor general is already in Phoenix, and that the relation between this office and the land office is such that they should be in the same place.
 It was also mentioned that Phoe- nix is the capital, centrally situated and convenient to the land inter- ests in both the northern and south ern part of the territory. It was also shown that railroad conditions make Tucson almost inaccessible to the people of the northern part of the territory.
 w. A. Richards, commissioner of the land office in Washington. D. C., has for some time had a plan under advisement looking to the consolidation of the land offices in Prescott and Tucson, which would necessarily mean the discharge of one set of officials
 The Prescott land office is one of the oldest in the southwest, being established in 1872.

WHY TWO NORMALS?
The St. Johns Herald Editor Asks
 Some Pertinent Questions

According to an artlcle Tn the Tempe News we have been able to figure it up that the teachers and ianitors of the Normal there draw salaries aggregating about 5000 per month. All these salaries are modest ones, however big the ag- gregate may seem.
 Then we have the Normal at Flagstaff, which costs something less per month in the matter of salaries
 There is no gainsaying tbat the principals and instructors of both Normals meet all requirements. They are thoroughly competent and reliable The territory can i'll af- ford to lose them.
 But why two Normals in Arizona supported by taxation? Is there some one who will point out the necessity? There have to be two sets of buildings as we'll as two sets of teachers. There has to be at least a double tax raised. What is the necessity? What is the benefit?
 The last legislature passed two bills for the purpose of relief for two Normals, in the matter of paying indebtedness, finishing or putting up buildings and paying two sets of salaries. Why?
 The people of Arizona can never do too much nor spend too much money in fostering educational ad vantages of their children, if right course be pursued.
 The enrolment of students in these two Normals is such as to start the inquiry, Where do the young teachers of Arizona get their training? And where do the par ents of Arizona send their children to school? And why is it so diff cult for school trustees to get home teachers with first grade certifi- cates? Too many of our young people attend schools outside of the territory where the course of study pursued does not help them pass in an examinati ton for teachers cer- tificate here in Arizona.
 But why should we not have but one Normal, and make that the pride of the territory? Arizona will soon regret that she has two Normals.
 Why not lay aside sectional pref erences and start in to build up one great Normal? And keep the young people in the home Normal where they may learn the things neces- sary to secure first grade teachers certificate?
 The last legislature was impor- tuned to establish second peni- tentiary, but thought better of the matter and refused. Yes, to be sure! Why not have two of these .'pens?" And two universities, and two industrial schools? And two or more capitols? And a lunatic asylum in each county?
 Flagstaff is the ideal school town of the territory-for many reasons, and not only for one. Some of the religious organizations realize this and are following up the idea It will soon be time for the business interests of the territory to look after matters of this kind or take the consequences of paying heavier taxes without getting better results. And the first thing would be to se- lect the town best suited for Nor nal. then cut out one and see to it that the Normal so selected is right- ly supported.

BELLS MATING
BEE DECLARED OFF

DR.. Frederic Bell delivered his sec
ond lecture before Honolulu audience
in Odd Fellows hall last night, the
subject being Love, Courtship, Mar
rage and Divorce
A good house listened to the lecture.
Dr. Bell opened proceedings by sing
ing a baritone solo, Strangers Still, .
which was received with applause.
The lecture was instructive and
amusing and was listened to with
pleasure by those present
DR.. Bell threw much valuable light
on martial problems and their solution,
showing a thorough grasp of his sub
ject.
At the conclusion of the lecture, DR..
Bell called for volunteers whom, he de-
clared, he would mate harmoniously
on chronological principles.
Six young ladies rushed blushingly to
the front in almost less time than 1t
takes to tell it.
With the men it was different, how
ever. All the caioling, entreating and
bantering on the part of the doctor
failed to induce more than one pale
youth to join his eager sisters.
OF course the mating bee had to be
declared off, Dr. Bell stating that as
a rule it was the ladies that were diff
cult to get to go to the front, not the
sterner sex.
