WANT ID MAKE THE
 MAJORITY LARGER

Among the delegates who arrived in the city yesterday 10 attend the territorial conventions which are to be held today, was Colonel J. F. Will son, former delegate to congress f.orl Arizona. The colonel is a member of the. delegation from Yavapai county to the Democratic convention. It has been some time since Colonel Wilson visited Bisbee before. and he expressed surprise at the wonderful improve ments which have been made in the city since he was last here. and when asked concerning conditions in ll;e north said:
 ..Of course the whole attention of the northern part of the territ Jrv at the present time Is given to political matters. Everybody seems to realize what an important question is to be decided at the election this 1all and all are using their best endeayors to mood SO large that no senator nr com gressman will eyer again lave the hardihood to say in the hats ot con- gress that there were only s few off, flee hunters in Ar.zona fighting T int statehood. I have been -aroun't the Territory quite a little in the past few weeks. and I can assure you that there is not the slightest change T the feeling of the people i'll regard to this rnea:rre. They all seem to look IT on 1t with the abhor:en3s wh:"i the thought of subjecti 1g Arizona to gov ernment from New Meyico inspires in the heart of every true Ari1unan. I did not think there ever was a more propitious time for the people of kri- zona to have this matter come up for final settlement. It is subject which has been discussed in the Territory for the past twenty years, and has been thoroughly aired in all its de- tails. so that when 1t Is finally voted down, the people will be voting on subject With which they scarborough ly familiar. and the election will show that after having considered the mat ter from every side the citizens of Arizona scorned the gift of statehood. when 1t was linked with such humil- iating conditions. The feeling of the people Of Arizona on the joint state hood measure is, think. one of the best proofs of the fact that the people know what is best for them, ana do not need dictation from any super iors. They vindicate the principle up- on which our country was founded the principle that there shall be no taxation without representation-for that Is what joint statehood would mean to Arizona.
 T do not think that the advocates Of joint statehood will have five per cent of the votes which are cast in Yavapai county at the coming elec- ton. have spoken to many of my friends from the other northern cpun- ties. and they assure me that there is practical unaniriity against joint state hood among the people of their re- spective counties. It will be a great victory for Arizona, not on account of any doubt of the defeat of the meas ure. but on account of the immense majority who will forever I hope, give voice to their conviction that the peo- pie of Arizona are we'll able to govern themselves.~

WAS TT MURDER?
Fourteen yesr Old Boy at Belgrade
Accused Of Killing His Com
panion, Also Fourteen.

Attorney Sam Olson was called to
Belgrade yesterday by citizens of that
village to investigate the killing of a
14-year-old boy, Alfred Brustad. It
appears that on Monday afternoon
young Brustad in company with Oscar
Reiquam, IA years old, Almund Col
biornson, 10 years old, went out in
the country, taking a 22-caliber rifle
with them. Brustad did not return home,
and Reiquam denied all knowledge of
his whereabouts. Later it was learned
that the Colbiornson lad joined the
other two on their way to the country,
and when questioned he told what he
knew. According to his story the
three boys sat On car of gravel to
rest He got down and was throwing
pebbles when he heard report. Look
ing around he saw the rifle falling to
the ground and the Brustad boy with
bullet hole in his forehead. Col
biOrnson started on run for home,
but Reiquam pulled the body of Brus-
tad (who died almost Instantly off
the car and carried it to the fence
some rods away where he propped it
up in sitting posture. Then he over
took the other boy and told him to
say nothing of the occurrence, ex-
planning it as an accident.
Deputy Coroner Pilon was sum-
moned from Paynesville, and Rel
guam was re presented by an attorney
at the inquest, which decided that the
killing was accidental.
Belgrade citizens were not satisfied
with the inquest and employed Attor-
ney Olson to investigate the affair
further. AS a result a warrant was
issued for the arrest of the Reiquam
boy on the charge of murder in the
second degree.-Glenwood Gopher

parted from the rest of the rig. They
were finally caught after running
some distance. William, who re-

The Willmar ball team was defeated
in last Fridays game at Granite
Fails with the team of that place by a
score of 3to 4. 1t was good game
and both teams are deservin of praise
for creditable playing. Granite Falls
citizens have the reputation OF turn
ing out we'll at ball games and our
boys report that last Fridays attend
ance was no exception. The poor pa
tronage given the local team at their
games in Willmar is not at all encour-
aging, and the members can hardly be
blamed when they find fault with the
financial support given by the Will
mar public. Everybody who likes to
see good ball team in the city should
show his appreciation by attending
the games whenever convenient, or in
some other manner contributing their
financial support.

Warns Against rrespassing.

A notice has been posted by the
Great Northern railway company on
the premises just north of the passen-
ger depot warning the public against
tresspassing on it's property. This
precaution has been taken by the COM
pany to avoid any accidents that may
happen to those who are in the habit
of using this certain locality for cross
ing the tracks, many using this route
to reach the lake. This is also the
direct route to the landing used for the
launch 'Varuna" and a large num-
ber of people have been in the habit
of crossing the tracks daily to this
point. AS this is no regular crossing
and the public is constantly exposed
to danger from passing trains, the
company feels justified in taking some
measure to avoid liability in case of
accident.
