Double Murder Discovered
 Near livingstone
MOTIVE WAS ROBBERY
HutiIated ROdies of Sam PIunkeit and E. A. Kennedy Who Had Fought
 Desperately FOa Life-The Crime
 Probably Committed on Wednesday.

sam Plunkett and F. 4. Kennedy were horribly murdered at the ranch Of the former about mile east or the mouth of Pinto creek. The mutilated bodies of the dead Were found yester- day afternoon and from the state of decomposition it was judged that the murder had been committed forty eight hou,s before. or on July 12
 There were. in the case of PIunzett. evidences of an awful struggle for life. The top of his head was crushed as if by some heavy blunt instrument but before that blow was dealt him he had been stabbed a dozen times. His hands were horribly Iacerated with knife as if he had caught the weapon by the blade.
 The body of Kennedy was almost as badly mutilated. He was found lying near the door. His head. too. was crushed and his body bore several
 knife wounds. The murder was dis covered by persons who had gone up the river to Livingstone from Roose- welt twelve miles below and a tele- phone message was sent to the city l. was stated that Al. Seiber. the famous scout. and Ranger Henry Peterson Were on the trail of the murderers and that they were following it easily.
 4 message last night from Roosevelt gave additional details or the c-5mr.
 From the surroundings it seemed as if both Plunkett and Kennedy were asleep when the former was attacked. The latter who was sleeping Iu au out building probably Wakened bv th,. struggle in the ranch house started in and was allowed to enter the door when the murderers set upon him.
 The motive fo. the crime was uu-
 dOubtedly robbery. It is known that Plunkett had about the house some
 thing more than one hundred dollars Not a cent could be found and the watches of both the men were gone Suspicion pointed to two Aexicaus whose names are unknown. Thes had been working for Plunllett making hay a few days before July 12. They could not be found in the neighborhoOd after I the discovery of the crime. Telephone i messages were sent in every direction i possible and all other possible means i of communication were employed to ] head off the murderers So that it is be- i lieyed to be impossible for them to 1 escape.
 PlUnkett was engaged in the cattle i business and was quite we'll known iu the valley especially about Tempe and ] Mesa He was forty years Of age. was married and his wife at the present l time is somewhere in Mexico. Ken nedy was about sixty-five years old and had been employed for some time by PIunkett.

FAIR GROUNDS SELECTED
Something Of the Achievements Of
 the Board To Date.

The directors of the Arizona Fair association announced yesterday that the Wasson tract had been finally de- cided upon and bought by them for the purposes of a race course and terri toriaI fair. The delay was caused by the fact that at one time this tract was plated into town lots and mum Der of them sold to non-residents- Be fore the title could be cleared up and proper transfers made, as well as the necessary negotiations for the pur- chase of these small holdings. some little time necessarily elapsed but the directorate feels that there was gain rather than a loss to the association for the reason that during this period of preliminary work many concessions were secured that would not have been made had the announcement been made definitely when the directors were personally convinced of the de- sirability of the location. They now have what they want along with oth- CT things they had hardly dared hope to get. have secured the property with a perfect title and at an expenditure of less than $9,OOO. And by the way

AN ACTORS COMBINE
Fight fO be Hadc Against Tyrannical
 TheAter Trust.

New York, July 1.-The announce ment of 9 new combination of actors in America against what is known as the theatrical trust was made today by Lee Shubert. The leading com panies in the new combination are those headed by David BelascO and Mrs. Minnie Maddern F'iske. Lee Shubert will manage a line of theaters which will be placed at the disposal of MT. BeIasco, Mrs. Fiske and others.
 The new combine will back fifteen companies on the road, embracing such actors as Sarah Bernhardt, Ada Re han, Jefferson De Angelis, Henry Mil Ter, Lillian Russell, David Warfield Blanche Bates, Bertha Galland, Robert Hilliard, Mrs. Fisl1e, Bertha Kalisch and Mrs. Leslie Carter. The actors under the new management expect within another week to have a suf- ficient number of theaters on their own circuit in America and England to play in the year round.
 MT. Shubert announced today that
Arizona republican., 1905-07-15

his company now has fourteen play houses under its control, including Jhe- aters in New York, Philadelphia, Chi cago. St Louis and London, England, and that within a week he would be able to open a dozen or more theaterS to his attractions, among them house in Boston. Besides these places, the new combination is counting on the support of independent houses all over the country. The amendment by the the atrical syndicate managers of a con- tract which Lee Shubert sa.1s he made with them. agreeing to pay them twenty-five per cent of the profits on all of the syndicates attractions book ed at his theaters was the cause of his
 break from the trust ranks.
 His ffiendliness toward David Be lasco during the last two months he
 said was a further cause of trouble.
 Two years ago" said Mr. Shubert.
 in explaining the origin of the dis
 pute. we signed a contract with the
 theatrical syndicate which is headed
 by Messrs. Klaw and Erlanger, agree ing that the syndicate could book their attractions in our houses for twenty five per cent of the profits for a period of five years. After We had signed this contract a letter was sent to US by the syndicate asking us to amend the contract by agreeing nos to add any more theaters to our own | circuit"
 ! MT. Shubert says at this point he ! had only eight theaters in his own cir i cult and did not feel strong enough
 to make a fight against the syndicate

oyster Bay, July 14.-mportant de- tails concerning the forthcoming peace conference between the plenipotentia- rj=s representing Russia and Japan and matters relating to the colstruc- rfon of the Panama canal were under consideration today by President Roosevelt.

 Mmiste' T@kahira could moi say positively when Baron Komura, the Jauanese minister of foreign affairs. who is the principal envoy Of Japan to the conference, would arrive in this country. He is en route now from Ja- pan and is expected to reach New York about the 30th instant. If NJ.

It Is the expectation that the enVOys vii come from New York tO Oyster Bay on the cruiser Mayfiower and the dis patch boat Dolphin. They will bC accompanied by Secretary Root anC perhaps by other officials of the state department. They will go directly by the same vessel from Oyster Bay tC Portsmouth, N. H.

II lis coming TO be strong inl-

mins and his close sympathizers be-
lieve that the primary law Will be

that further opposition is dangerous

TO lei .!le primary election law get on

Those who are supporting the idea

winter time claim that Il is necessary
in order that the discipline of the
guard may he maintained. They ad-
vance the argument that with the reg

trim. Then they are sent 10 the state
carp which breaks into the regular

the state camp comes the target

there Is il relaxation of discipline.
Then they assert that If there is no

cue that If the guard Is worth keep
ins up It is worth keeping It efficient

that II there is an inspection in the
