hundred and fifteen votes cast,
Hon. j. G. Jones was recognized
by the chair, and he stated that
he was empowered TO withdraw
the name of Menzie and move

it was agreed that Mr.. Jones
should make a statement as to

CHARGED WITH POLYGAMY
Department Orders Prosecution of
 Residents of Apache County

It has recently been learned that United States Attorney Nave had received instructions from the de- partment to proceed vigorously in the prosecution of the investiga ton Of charges of polygamy preferred against several residents of Apache county, says the Phoenix Republi- can. It was also learned that more than thirty subpoenaes had been issued out of the office of the United States attorney for persons living ing Apache county and in Utah to appear before the next United States grand jury, which will con- vene in Prescott.
 At the time of the visit of the congressional irrigation committee last week Senator Dubois of Idaho spoke of the charges of polygamy which had been made, and asked if anything had been done toward investigation. He was surprised to learn that there was no knowl- edge here that such charges had been lodged. He said that they had been before the department for a long time. It is presumed from the recent order by the department that Senator Dubois on learning that nothing was being done at once stirred the department into activity.
 The senator is regarded by the Mormons as their most energetic opponent not only in his own state, but in the Dakotas, also in Wyom- ing and Montana. His opposition to the church began twenty years ago and he was particularly active in the anti Mormon agitation in 1886. He opposed the admission of Brigham H. Roberts to the house of representatives, and he is now in the forefront of the fight for the ex- clusion of Senator Shoot from the United States senate.
 One or two arrests have been made on charges of polygamy in this territory lately, but it was not known there was condition of af- fairs in Apache county which might bring alleged violations of the law directly before the Washington au- thorities.

The Asbestos Deposits

The asbestos deposits in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado river, Arizona, belong to the Hance Asbestos NJ. Go. of New York City, and are on the north side of the Colorado river, 70 miles west of north of Flagstaff, the county seat. The deposits are near the bottom of the Grand Canyon, 4900 feet below the rim, with a portion of the prop erty rising to 1900 feet above the river. The nearest point on the railroad is Grand Canyon at the terminus of the Grand Canyon railroad, which connects at Will jams, a distance of 63 miles. with the main line of the Santa Fe rail road. There is a good wagon read from Grand Canyon station to the head of Grand View and Red Can yon trails, which lead from the rim to the bottom of the canyon and are IA and 19 respectively from Grand Canyon station. Both these trails are in good condition, and pack trains could carry from 80 to 100 pounds per burro or from 175 to 21O pounds per mule. Grandview, a United States postoffice, is on the rim between the two trails. The only present means of crossing the river to the asbestos deposits, which are on the north side, is by row. boat.-M. & s. Press.

Murdered by Companion

Word from Ramah, a small town just across the New Mexico line, tells of the dastardly and cruel murder of Walter Lyons, a school teacher who taught the district school at Concho last winter. Lyons came here last fall from the north and after his school was out started north again, and just before he left he found man who was going the same way, and they travelled to- gether and seemed to have become very friendly. The last seen of them was at Ramah, and they passed through there on Sunday, June 4. Ten days later Lyons body was found, badly decayed, at their camping place, while his compan- ion was gone with all the outfit. Lyons had between one and two hundred dollars in money on his person when he left here: and rob- bery seems to have been the motive of his slayer.
 The murdered man was an inof- fensive fellow, very friendly and kind to everybody he came in con- tact with. He had been wandering for some years. He was raised in Michigan, where his mother is. still living. There is little hope of catch ing the perpetrator, as he has so much start of the officers. St. Johns Cor. in Republican.

Injured in a Runaway

Jas. A. Vail was the victim of & runaway accident Thursday after noon and sustained serious injuries, being thrown from the spring seat of a farm wagon to the ground, breaking his right leg. his ankle being crushed in a terrible manner. It is thought that the wheel of the wagon passed over his ankle.
 He had started out to his ranch north of town and was hardly out of town when the accident occurred. He was accompanied by two of his small children. Both were thrown out of the wagon, the little girl, Ella, escaping with 8 sprained ankle, while the smaller child was practically unhurt.
 MT. Vail's condition is serious and the physician in charge, pr. D. J. Brannen, informs us that while he hopes for the best, amputation of the limb may yet be necessary Coconino Sun.

Telephones on the Southern Pacific

Sixty-five emergency telephones, the first to be used by any railroad in the west. have been put in by the Southern Pacific company, in- cluding one at each of the fifteen terminal stations on the Los An geles division and one on each train running on that division. The tel. ephone as used at the station re- sembles the ordinary wall tele- phone, but it is connected with the telegraph wires over which it may be used without interfering with telegraphing, placing the agent at any of the stations in direct com munication with the trainmaster's office. The instrument as used on the trains consists of hand tele- phone and four rods, much like the sections of fishing rod. Should there be collision. ditched train or any serious accident, the con- ductor will screw the four rods end to end, connect the hand telephone and hook the machine over a tele- graph wire, which will place him in instant and direct communica tion with the trainmaster.- Angeles Herald.

Auditor of the Territory Wesley Hill has sent request to each of the various county assessors of the territory requesting that his office be furnished with a duplicate certi- fled copy of the county assessment roll. This request it has been an nounced is made with q view of considering the valuations placed by the various county assessors on mining property and the different large stock ranges over the terri tory. For some time a law pro- viding that such action might be taken by the territorial board of equalization has been on the statute books, but has never in the past ten years been operated under.

In re Bond of w. c. Bayless, Con- stable, Flagstaff Precinct:

In re Bond of w. c. Bayless, Con- stable, Flagstaff Precinct:
 This bond is dated September, 1904, which time is, of course, a date prior to the date upon which the incumbent of the office was elected.
 Therefore, ask your honorable body to direct the county and pre- cinct officers above mentioned, whose bonds are defective, to replace such defective bonds, within a reasona ble time, with a bond upon which there can be no question.
 1 have, further, examined the bond of T. K. Pulliam, keeper of the county hospital, and find the bond appears to limit the rosponsi bility of the keeper of the hospital to perform the duties according ''to the satisfaction of the board" (which is not sufficient.
 Therefore, I also ask that he be required to give a new bond in place of the defective bond, within a reasonable time.
 Very respectfully yours,
 HENRY E. AsHURsT,
 District Attorney.

The Territorial Fair Grounds

It Is now stated on good author ity that the Wasson tract has been decided upon by the directors. The information was not given out by any of the members of the board, but comes from a member of the association who is close to some of the prominent members of the board and who is in a position to know. Of course a change can be made, as the members have not off, cially decided on the Wasson tract, but they have unofficially decided and unless something unexpected turns up they will vote for the Was son site at meeting that will be called shortly.
 The Wasson tract is a half of a mile from the end of the Five Points street car line and is close enough to the Santa Fe railroad SO that matter of transporting crowds will be no problem, as the street car company may be depended upon to extend it's line and the Santa Fe will more than likely put on a train during the fair to ply between the grounds and it's depot. The tract has eighty acres and the price is about $S0OO.-Gazette.

GOOD HUNTING IN DULUTH.
Bears, Deer and Other Game often
Shot within City Limits.

Shot within City Limits.
Bear hunting within the corporate
limits of town of $4,000 people
might be novelty to some people,
but the people of Duluth, Mimi, are
used to It," said +. f. Bruce of Fond
du Lac, Mimi, who was at the Hotel
Pfster on his way home from trip
through the East, says the Milwau-
kee Sentinel.
There Is not fall passes but half
dozen or more bears are killed
there, and sometimes the number runs
up to ten, or even more than that.
They are big fellows, too, some OF
them, the kind you would not care to
meet unless you were well armed.
They are attracted there by the berry
patches in the outskirts Of the city,
and there have been frequent in
stances where berry pickers found 1t
advisable to beat hasty retreat and
leave bruin in full possession of the
field.
Here is a story which I will vouch
for: Two years ago a prominent citi
Zen Of Duluth, doctor, left his home
in the East End Of the city and board
ed a car for downtown. He had pro-
ceeded only block when he saw
full-grown bear cross the track and
saunter into the bushes by the road
side.
signaling to the motorman to stop,
he alighted, and, running back to his
home, secured his rifle. Proceeding
to the spot where he had seen the
bear disappear, he picked up the trail
and followed 1t not more than 4 hun
dred yards, when he came upon the
animal. He succeeded in killing the
bear, and it was one of the largest
which had been seen in that locality.
There are frequent instances where
deer are seen in the city, but as q
rule these are stray animals which
come down out of the woods and be-
come bewildered. Moose sometimes
appear, but only at rare intervals"
