Henry Lovin, G. w. Beecher, A. F.. Harris and J. P. Gideon departed Wed nesday to Prescott, where they will appear before the U. s. court in the capacity of jurors and witnesses. Mir. Lovin has been sued by the govern ment on account of the purchase of certain wood at. Goldroad, which is said to come under the timber regula- tion. The Indians have been cutting mesquit wood in the valley of the Col orado river and selling it at Vivian and other places. MesQuit has been adjudged to be timber by the govern ment and anyone purchasing it when cut on government land is to be pros ecuted. Mr. Lovin denied that he purchased the wood and is fighting the case in court. In the first place it is a great stretch of the imagination to class mesquit as timber, as it comes in the same class as the catclaw, moun- tain mahogany, prickly ash and other scrub trees of this country.

On the evening Of August 28,
1906, the death angel came to the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Moore
and took. from them their pre-
cious little boy just eight years Of
age. Leslie leaves a father, mother
and two sisters to mourn their loss.
D, it is so hard to give him up but
God thought it best for him to go OF
he would not have grleved us so.
Leslie has gone from this sinful
world to where there is no more pain
and by the help of the Lord we shall
all meet him again. He was taken
sick on Sunday evening and fell
asleep in Jesus the next Tuesday

ones, but try to live so that when
we are called away we can say, "Thy
will be done," and enter into the
Joy of our Lord where we shall meet
our dear friends and never have to
say good bye again The funeral
services were conducted by Brother
Love and his little body was laid to
rest at ReptOn cemetery there to
await the resurrection.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in his home
That never can be filled.

With the installation of the ma chine, The Sun also puts on a new dress of type. The face chosen is the Century Expanded and com mends itself for its beauty and dur ableness. It is rapidly gaining great favor with both the publish CTS and the reading public. Many magazines are adopting it, and the Inland Printer, conceded to rank as the highest development of the topographic art in America, is printed from the same face of type. We hope it will please our readers as well as it does us.

The Cochise Press, published by w. P. White, at Benson, is the newest aspirant for honors in the field of Aizona journalism, its ini- tial number having made its ap- pearance on May 5th. It is six column folio, well written and well printed. Politically it aligns itself with the Republican party and promises to live up to it's prin- ciples so long as that party contin- ues the right trend it is now fol- lowing. In general and local news the Press excels and should meet with a good patronage from the citizens of Benson and vicinity.

San Francisco was infested with socialists of all grades, from the gentle "reformer" to the wild eyed anarchist with red flag in one hand and torch in the other.
 Everybody was crying for some sort of destruction-the anarchists for destruction of every form of acquired property, the "reformers' for destruction of certain iniqui- tous institutions" It would be interesting to know how these vari- ous disturbers felt with San Fran cisco a mass of ruins and every man, woman and child upon an equality the equality of misery, helpless ness and hunger.

Carl Schurz died at his home in New York city Monday morning at :35 o'clock. His death was due to a complication of diseases fol- lowing stomach trouble, which be- came acute last Thursday. He was 77 years of age, having been born March 2d, 1929.
 Mir. Schurz was the representa- tive German in the United States "a man of brilliant intellect and great attainments. His whole life was one of activity, which brought into full play his wonderful versa tility. In the course of his event ful life he won honors in many fields of endeavor and made his personality felt in many different roles, none of which was out of harmony with the general useful ness of his career.
 Exiled from his native country for taking prominent part in the revolutionary movement of l84S, he came to America in 1852. He al- ways was a prominent figure in politics and his political career may be thus summarized:
 Candidate for lieutenant governor of Wisconsin; delegate to national republican convention, 1860; speak CT in campaign of 1860; minister to Spain 1861; United States senator from Missouri, l869-75; presided over the Cincinnati liberal republi- can convention, 1872; secretary of the interior in Hayes cabinet, .1S77-81. tAtkN fLbG

PHOENIX WOMAN
 ROBBED OF JEWELS.

LOS ANGELES, July 10.--Mrs. s. W. Purcell, who is spending the sum- mer at Long Beach, has had cost Iy experience with a coast sneak thie1 and she. has discovered that the coast is somewhat different from Arizona, where doors may be left unlocked with little danger of the house being entered.
 While Mrs Purcell was gone from her apartments, a sneak thief en- tered the rooms and in addition to securing about $40 in money took some vauabIe jewelry. which was historic in the family.
 There was no clue to the thief or thieves and the dispatch with which the robbery was committed showed that the robbers were not noyices al their criminal game.

void of any selfish motive whatever, though Arizona would hardly follow it in voting on the statehood proposfal to be submitted in November.
 From a statesman whose political fortunes are identified with New York and the Republican party his advice to create only one state out of these two southwestern territories cannot help creating in Arizona an impression not altogether pleasant. It seems too much like an effort tQ gain unfair sectional and political ad- vantage.
 "The people of Arizona have already manifested in the most unmistakable way their opposition to joint statehood with people of different habits and customs, by whom they would be outvoted in every state election. Why should the president, with the in fluence of his great office, try to urge them unwillingly into the union?
 Dakota, in which Mir. Roosevelt once lived upon a ranch, was organ ized as single territory. If he ever protested against dividing it to make two states, the protest has not been heard in this part of the country. And yet, Arizona is as well entitled tc four senators in congress as the Da kotas are.
 Arizona need not be disturbed by MT. RooseveIt's unlovely intimatior that it may not have another oppor tunity for statehood in many years Her people are better satisfied ir their separate territorial condition than they would be in joint statehood And MT. Roosevelt is mistaken in his foreboding. It will be only a few years before a democratic congress and president will admit Arizona a: one state and New Mexico as another

ROCKET PLIERS WEALTH.

John D. Rockefeller reached his sixty-seventh birthday last Saturday. This was occasion for a newspaper correspondent to do some figuring on the wealth of this trust magnate, with the following result:
 At sixty-seven years of age, John D. Rockefeller is estimated to be worth s6O0, ,090, 900, according to- fig. ures of careful investigators. Last year MT. Rockefeller was worth $552,. 100000, showing gain for the pres ent year of s4s,o00,O00. In 1900 he had only s4o0, 1000, 900, and in the year before that he was poorer still, s250.' 000, 900 representing his total wealth In 1895 he had 100000 900, in 1875 s5,000,0 and in the year before that he was virtually bankrupt.
 When the huge snowball of Rocke feller's present fortune of $500 900, ,00C rolls down the year, gathering as il goes, the wealth of former Midaes will appear as merely competence This s4,000,O00 a month, s164,3S6 2 day, s4,6Ss an hour, s11416 minute s1s2 second And this is for ever. second of the year. The calculation for 8 years-Mr. Rockefeller's phy sician says he has every prospect oi living to be Toe years old, is start
  ling. If his millions keep Increasing at the present rate, Mr. Rockefeller at the age of 100 years will be wortf about ,s25, 5,000. .0oo.8o0. This is aimos+ three times as much gold and silvel as there is in circulation, in bank and in all the treasure houses ant hints on earth today.

PROTECTION THAT PROTECTS.

We take the following from the Torreon Enterprise and agree that the custom in Mexico of handling criminals has its advantages, though we prefer the plan of trial by jury as means of getting at all the facts before the execution occurs:
 ''The very effective measures taken by the government of Mexico for the protection of foreigners engaged in business in Mexico are illustrated by a recent occurrence in the state of Jaliseo. An American company own ing and operating large cattle ranch in the Autlan district made complaint that it had suffered severely from the depredations of stock thieves. At once party of state rurales was or dered to the scene, with instructions to put an end to the depredations. The ruraies rounded up ten cattle thieves, summarily executed them as is GUS tomary when such people are caught red-handed, and it is to be fairly pre- sumed the Americans will have no further cause for complaint. AS a means of stopping or preventing crime, this method has considerable advantage over what is too frequent. ly the practice in the states. What with delays, and alibis, and trials and . retrials, and hair-splitting technicali 1. ties by the higher courts, it is notor iously difficult in many states to con sict stock thief. Those who have suffered from the depredations ot these gentry will therefore appre ciate to the fullest the Mexican meth cd, which is both summary and sa lutary. The instance referred to is only one of many illustrations of the governments, both state and national in safeguarding the lives and prop erty of foreigners"

Preliminary to the main event Thomas from Bis bee, and Ryan, who halls from Califor- mia, wrestled catch-as catch-can, best two out of three falls. Both men were clever. Thomas secured the first fall in one minute and a half, but in the second and third bouts Ryan showed his superiority, securing two falls in quick time. The main event was as quickly decided. Dayey was aggres- sive from the start. and won first and second falls handily. Husson, appar- ently, did not exert himself much. Jef' frey challenged the winner to match for 10 a side, which it is expected will be pulled off soon.

ATTEMPT MADET TO WRECK TRAIN
 IN MEXICO
Robbers, After S50,000 Pack age, Would Commit Whole
 sale Murder.

MORALES, July 10.-Snnday even ing about 7:30 o'clock an attempt was made to wreck the Torres & Prietas train at Puertecitas, on the road to La Colorado, and it was only by the mer- est chance that the wrecking of the train and perhaps the loss of many lives was averted.
 A railroad IaDorer, who stepped onto the front of the engine at one of the way stations, to ride from one station to another, saw a pile of rocks on the track and signaled the engin- eer to stop. The latter promptly threw on the brakes and reversed the engine, bringing the train to stand tstill just before the obstruction was reached. ..r. .....
 The rocks were heaped upon the track at a point where the derail, | ment of the train would have precipi, tated it into a deep arroyo, with a probability of killing all on board. It is supposed, and is quite certain that the attempt to wreck the train was for the purpose of robbery, as there was being shipped by express to La Colorado the sum of S50,000 to pay off the men at the mine.
 Officers who went from La Cobra da to the scene of the attempted wrecking arrested two men who were found near the place, and whose ac tions and answers to questions were considered suspicious.

NEGRO LABOR
 FOR T0NT0 DAM.

With delegation of 70 negro la borers, secured in Galveston, George Steinmets, of the firm of O'Rourke & Company, who are building the Tom to Jam, passed through Benson last evening enroute to Roosevelt, the town of 5000 inhabitants which will disappear when the big dam is com pleted.
 Negro labor seems to be growing in popularity in this section. The la bor situation, however. in Arizona is coming to pass where any one who can handle a pick and shovel is ac- ccptable. and there is hardly a con- tractor who is not in need of men.
 O'Rourke S Company are among the biggest contractors in the coun- try and their various jobs run far in- to the millions. It was this firm that built the new Galveston seawall and on this big undertaking negro labor was used with much satisfaction.
 It was this fact which led the com pany to send to Texas for negro la bor. Mir. Steinmets experienced nc difficulty in securing negro labor. as the negroes were more than willing to come to Arizona.
