LOOKING FOR AN ADVOCATE IF
 J0|NTURE
Fl PaSo Business Men Are lm- pressed With Unanimous Sentiment Against the Measure in Arizona.

Among the business men who are visiting Arizona is W. R. Humphries, the we'll known Fl Paso photographer, and an old-time Arizonan. Humph- ries has attended to many of the de- tails in connection with the trip, and has taken great pains to call the at tention of many of the Fl Pasoans to the wonderful growth which has mark ed the past few years in the differ ent cities of the territory which they have visited. EaSSais lived in Ari- zona for several years, Humphries is still interested in the territory, and has kept in touch with the affairs in which she is concerned. In speaking about the jointure measure yester- day to a Review representative, he said: "sl
 T do not believe that anything has struck the members or the party of Fl Pasoans so forcibly, as the unani- nous sentiment of the people of Ari- zona against the joint statehood measure. I think that it is the most, remarkable display of patriotism that this country has even known. AL though the members of this party are all strangers to Arizona, still to hear them talk since they entered the ter ritory, would make you taTnk that they were vitally interested in the jointure measure.
 'I do not think that they can help it, because at every city we have visited we have endeavored to find some one who was in favor of the measure, and only succeeded in finding one, that was Allen T. Bird, at No gales.
 "The fact of the matter is, that the finding of a joint statehood man has become joke with the party, and sev- eral bets are now pending. One gen tleman offered to bet that he would find another advocate of the measure before we left the territory, and there was an immediate rush in his direc- tiOn r

their wounds are exceedingly painful,

" The accident occurred shortly after the
machine had pulled upon the Hanson

the engine, the two who were killed
standing directly by the side Of the

pieces of iron, brass and steel were
