|S IND!CIED FOR ENTERTAINMENT
 9F FUNDS !
Grand Jury at Flagstaff Has Charged County Recorder
 Hibben With Misappropria-
 ton of County Funds.

 Arizona's bitterest political fight which has several times threatened to become tragic, has eliminated in Co conino county in the indictment of Harry C. Hibben, county recorder, on two counts by the September grand lury.
 Private telegrams which reached Phoenix this morning state that the grand jury has just completed its labors at Flagstaff, the indictments found against Recorder Hibben, charg- ing him with embedding county funds and failure to keep record of the money he received in fees as recorder.
 Flagstaff and all of Coconina county has been stirred by Hibben's indict- ment as it never has been stirred be- fore. Almost every man in the coun- ty who pays attention to the doings of public officials is siding either for or against Hibben.
 Excitement is running high and be- fore the matter ends it is feared that there will be trouble. Hibben and District Attorney Henry F. Ashurst are looked upon as the two central figures in the controversy, Ashurst having advised the grand jurt that brought in the indictments.
 District Attorney A. C. Baker has been in Flagstaff for several days to assist Ashurst in the handling of mat ters that came before the grand jury. Because of his experience and ability in legal matters and the drawing of indictments, District Attorney has been of great assistance to Ashurst.
 The charge of embezzlemen. is ex- pected to prove sensational, and be- members of the Coconinobkrsshhrrr fore it ends will probably involve members of the Coconino county board of supervisors, who have stood behind Hibben in several of his offi- cial acts.
 District Attorney Ashurst has open ly charged Hibben and members of the board of supervisors with misap- propriation of county funds in taking money in the form Of fees to which Hibben is not entitled. One case to be prosecuted along the same lines was thrown out Of court.
 District Judge R. E. Sloan presided when the matter was heard and ruled that while there might. be criminal liability. the laws of this territory per nit board of supervisors to compro- mise cases with county officials. On the ground that the board had compro- Imised with Hibben he escaped prose cution.
 Hibben has stesdfastly refused to turn over these fees. which have amounted to several thousand dollars. claiming that the work done has been mostly outside of office hours, and that according to law he is entitled to them.
 That Hibben is preparing to make desperate fight against conviction on the charges brought is stated in tele- gram from Flagstaff today. He has retained Attorney E. M- Doe and sev- eral other well known Northern Arizo- ma lawyers to assist him in his de fense. District Attorney Ashhurst and others will conduct the prosecu- ton.
 Because of the bitter enmity be- tween Ashurst and Hibben. which is the most striking feature of Coconino politics. the trial of Hibben will prob ably bring out much that would not otherwise be given the public were they on better terms.

The jointists will not be without a campaign paper. A party without an organ would be like a home without mother. The joint statehood party of Arizona has choice of mothers. but 1t has not yet adopted any, says the Phoenix Republican. It is learn ed that the naotherly care of local paper was offered this foster child. or this illegitimate child for a thou, sand dollars for the campaign. The mother. however, could not give all her attention to the fomdling. but of Tered to bestow two columns daily on it. This proposition was consider ed from all sides on Monday, and ie was decided by the foundling that it could not thrive on that amount of sustenance. It would have to have a mother all to itself. Arrangements are now under way for the procuring of the sole and exclusive attention of wet nurse. The nurse will charge the modest sum of S2500 for the job. It Is conceded that if the nurse can make anything out of this unpromis- ing child the price will be reasonable enough.

D|SREGARD OF GAME LAWS
 FRAGRANT
Attention of Sheriff's Office Is
 Called to Violation of Game
 Laws -Culprits Will Be Se- yerely Dealt With.

There are Quitesa number of per sons who seem to think that the game laws of the territory were passed simply because the legislature had a d1tle spare time on its hands and wanted to be doing something. As an evidence of this fact all that a person need do is take the instance in which quail have been slaughtered within the plst few weeks.
 For some time past it has been kLown that certain persons were de literately hunting quail, and killing even the young birds before there was enough meat on the brest to make them desirable for eating purposes, and this fact seems to indicate that the persons who have been doing this were actuated by an insane desire to be killing something.
 Several members of the local hunt club brought the matter to the atten. lion of the sheriff's office and were as- sured that the culprits would he se- verely dealt with if found out.
 It has been suggested that some of the people who did the killing were Unaware of the fact that it was against the law, evidently thinking that this would constitute a defense if they were caught. but this argument does rot carry much weight when it is remembered that ignorance of the law does not excuse the violators.
 The territorial statute in regard 10 the cuail season reads as follows:
 Every person who in the Territory of Arizona. between the first day of March and the fifteenth day of Oc- tober in each year shall hunt, pursue, take. kill or destroy. or have in his possession, dead or alive, except for purposes of propagation. any quail. bob white, partridge. grouse, pheasant, or any kind of wild duck, goose. brant. snipe or rail, shall be guilty of a mis- demeanoT."

EATING SOUR GRAPES
WHAT REPUBLICAN EDITORS
WHO SWALLOWED THE TAX
LAWS ARE NOW SAYING.

Certain of our state exchanges.
noted leaders OF tax reform thought.
whose battle cry in the campaign
was the tax system to the exclusion
of national issues. take the position
that the remarkable success OF the
party In this state is due all together
to the general approval of the present
laws. BY what Kind of process of
reasoning they arrived at that con
clusion they fail to state, but we
take 1t for granted that It is not
predicated on a careful study and
analysis of the returns.
II will be noticed in a survey of
the figures that in only a very few
Instances out side of handful of
purely agricultural counties, where
the tax discussion played a very i'm
portant part, that republican gains
were made. In number of counties
where It did loom up conspicuously
there were distinct republican losses.
Take the lower end OF the state.
the republican party's position was
this: A modification and amendment
OF the laws and not particularly an
extension OF them. Legislative can.
didates stood on platforms written
along these lines and candidates were
only successful by reason of making
such pledges. And in a great number
of counties in the southern tier, the
democrats fought the new laws with
vigor, there were republican losses
of varying degrees of magnitude.
The claims OF some of our over.
enthusiastic contemporaries are in
teresting, but not substantiated by
the figures. Then too, it is unfair
as well as untrue. that in this state
there did not exist that general
feeling of national contentment with
national affairs and a widespread
approval of the presidents course.
which are accounted responsible fac
tors for republican victory through
out the land. We don't care to douse
cold water on some OF our interesting
editorial friends, but we must insist
that they confine themselves to hard
facts when It comes to a discussion
of a subject so important and i'm
which so many conflicting interests
are invilved.-Dispatch-News, (Rep)

SAD PLIGHT DF
A WOMAN LEPER

Honolulu. Nov. IA pitiable
story of woman's misery for years
came to light this week when Mrs.
Flora T.. Crowell was arrested and
held for investigation as leper. II
the charges against her be proved
she must go to the Molokai leper
settlement for the rest of her natural
life.
She is the daughter of John A.
Cummins, once minister of Foreign
Affairs under King Kalahana. Her
mother was an Hawaiian. She mar.
ried a native Hawaiian and has one
child. When the child was five years
old she developed symptoms that
resembled leprosy. To avoid her
transfer TO Molokai she agreed to
go to Japan and never return. That
was six years ago.
Soon afterward those who had
agreed TO send her an allowance
failed to do so and she returned here
and took up her residence I'm her
mothers home, where she had O
secret room to which she retired
when any one called. She lived
thus and cared for her daughter,
till her mothers death recently.
Then she was spirited to another
island, but those who promised to
provide for her failed TO do so. and
starvation drove her out. She is
heir to about $4,000.
