SECESSION IS RIFE
 IN CHA co. TOWNS
Christmas and WinkIeman Want
 Annexation to Pinal.

| It will come as news to a great many people in Globe that there is a move ment on foot in the southwestern end 1 of Gila county to secede from present political connections and ask the Iegis- ] lature to hitch that section onto PinaI county, says the Globe Telegram. ' Residents of both Christmas and ] Winkelman precincts contend that they are denied proper police protection by the authorities of Gila county, and that in matters of government in which they are vitally interested the supervisors of this county have ignored them.
 In consequence. a meeting was held at Christmas last Saturday night-as ] was discovered Nby a telegram repre- sentative just returned from there-at which the matter was thoroughly dis cussed and the resolution above stated | agreed to. More than this. Thomas F. | Weedin of the Florence Blade, who was called to attend the meeting, was au- thorized, in behalf of the residents of | the two precincts, to take what steps
 might be deemed necessary to separate i these two precincts from Gila county and tack them back on to PinaL 1 The trouble originally dates back ' several months, to the time when pe- tition was presented the supervisors of 1 this county from residents of Christ mas, asking the board to call a local option election The petition not hay | ing fifty signatures, nothing was done | by the board in the matter. But after ward this defect this remedied, when a | petition with the required number of names attached was presented. Under the law it then became mandatory up
 on the board to call the election. But nothing was done, the Christmas peo- | pie aIlege.
 The complaint of the people of
 Winkelman is even more serious. They
 demanded the appointment of precinct | officers. so they can get better police protection.
 In illustration a we'll known resident | of Winkelman recited an instance that
 occurred on the 18th inst. A man
 claiming to be a deputy sheriff, who is
 a Mexican, had arrested another Mex
 ican for disturbing the peace, and pro ! ceeded with him to the railroad to lock ! him up in a box car over night On 1 the way he shot the prisoner. The of ' icer claimed that the man had tried to 1 draw a gun. No gun was found upon r the man later. and upon examination
 of the wound. which was in the lower \ abdomen afterward, it was found badly powder burned, showing that the pistol | of the officer was almost against the .i dead man when it was discharged.
 K Now. the officer may have been hon \ est in his opinion that he was in dan f ger when he fired his gun. but never .i theless the incident has created con- H siderable adverse comment in that sec tion. As the people there claim. it il- | Iustrates the need of a constable and a ] justice of the peace who are the choice ] of the people there.

AN ATTORNEYS PRAISE.

R. D. Ferguson, attorney, with an office in the Century building, Tucson, AriZ., says: For a number of years I was greatly annoyed with kidney complaint. There was a little back ache, the principal symptoms being too frequent action of the kidney secre- tions, especially observable at night Doap's Kidney Pills were brought to my attention and one day I got box. The first days treatment convinced me that they were going to the root of the trouble and I continued until l had fin ished four boxes. I am not prepared to say that I am permanently cured, but this is an undOubted fact. Doan's Kidney Pills are the best remedy I ever used They gave me immediate relief, are pleasant to take leave no bad eff fleets, and act directly upon the kidneys. am pleased to recommend them to my friends and the public generally"

 CROOKED WORK CHARGED - James Harer, a young man who was brought up in the Buckeye country, was lodged in jail yesterday on a very ugly charge. Some time in August a man came to Phoenix and at the Val ley Pride creamery presented to w. C. Dawes a note bearing the alleged sig nature of w. R. Beloat, a rancher in the west end, requesting Mir Dawes to pay to T. C. Simpson the sum of S35, the man presenting the note assuming g to be Simpson. MT Dawes gave hirl d check which he later cashed at the Capitol saloon where he was engaged in bucking the tiger. Saturday Mr. Dawes met MT. BelOat and told him Of the incident, MT Beloat then hearing of it for the first time and saying he had given no such order. Suspicion fell upon Harer and together they hunted him up and MT. Dawes identi- fled him as the so-caled Simpson. It is reported also that he cashed anOth- CT check for a larger amount some where in the city but the details were not learned yesterday or whose name was signed to it.

Do you know that these institutions represent but mere fraction of the charitable work successfully carried on by the Salvation Army in the United States :?
 How is this enormous expense to be met? Fools and ignorant know-alls will perhaps explain to you that the army is in and of itself a sort of

bonanza class-c s-corporation, and of a truth it would needs be if out of its own resources it carried on the stu pendous undertaking it dares. But the intelligent man or woman of today knows too well the Salvation Army under too many conditions. and through too many seasons to listen to such folly.
 The army just now is making a spe- cial effort to raise funds, and they are asking for not not only cash but ar ticles that can be converted into cash.
 No religious organization of history has depended more fully upon the good offices and charitable warmth of the public than the Salvation Army Hap oily we are not an ungrateful people, nor a people slow to realize or appre@ ciate great deeds. That is why we have a right to feel a sincere interest in ev- erything the Salvation Army under takes, and that is why we all now take an interest in the armys approaching annual harvest festival, September 29th and 30.
 Anything and everything of any ac- tuaI utility may be given as an offering at this festival, for what may not be locally useful may be of high practical value in less favored parts the army's national field. There is. in fact. a say ing humorous, but true, that the Salvation Army can find good use both for people and things that no other body in creation would consider.
 Remember the dates. and remember the cause to be furthered; be generous and you will nurse no regrets.
