SHOOTS H INNOCENT MEN

Douglas, Ariz, Jan. 12, 1906. Petition to H. J. Simmons, General !, Manager E. P. and s. W. system.
 through the office of T. Paxton. Su- perintendent of Motive Power E. P. {, and s. w.. George Brucklacher, Douglas, A. T.
 @Gentlemen: We the. undersigned employees of the B. P. and s. w. Rail way system at this point are often called out to work at night. It has become so dangerous of late to leave the roundhouse after dark to go home on account of being shot at by the of ficers employed by the railroad com ipany, that. Ea
 We do hereby petition and plead that you look into the following griey- ance.
 Last evening machinist helper c. c. Cheek was called to work in place of the regular man, who was laying loff. At midnight. he went up town for lunch and when passing the Y. NJ lC. A. building was called upon by some one in the dark, to stop. Not { knowing it was an officer, and think, ling perhaps it was a hold-up he ran and was shot at four times. Now we do not consider this off | icer a safe man to hold the position he does, and request that you will give us some protection from such treat ment.
 George Brucklaeher, J. z. Kuhns It. w. Copeland, C. A. Bramum, H. E Wootten, c. Cheek, J. E. Bryden, w M. Collier, W. Gerrie, and about 15C others"
 The above petition. which is being circulated at the roundhouse, has been signed by every man so far seen and will undoubtedly be signed by practi cally everyone employed there. The shooting referred to in the pc tition occurred last Friday night and has worked the men up to a decided Iheat, some of them going so far as to throw up their jobs if they were or the night shift and many more oi them refuse to go out at night at all as they say there is no telling when
 someone is liable to take a shot al them.
 l Cheeks Statement.
 l Mir. Cheek. when seen by a repre- Isentative of the International-Ameri can, stated that he was on his way down town to get some lunch at Der gers restaurant about 12;30 at nigh and when a short distance from the
 north end of the Y. M. c. A. building he heard some one say, Hold uI there 8 minute" but thinking they
 were not speaking to him, kept or
 across the road Then they yelled al him, Stop, God d. you, or I will kill iyou," and with that he cut and raI for Tenth street, the officers blazing
 away at him and one shot coming
 within a short distance of his ear Four shots were fired at him, but he managed to get away and went into

.LABORERS IN DROvES
 PASSTHROUGH Fl PASO
One Person 15 Years Past the Century Mark Aaccompan-
 jed by Eight Sons.

FL PASO, Jan. 1.-Two hundred and seventy-fve Mexican peons were cleared at the immigration bureau this morning, and as the 1aborers passed out the rear door of the immigration building, there was a merry fight on the part of the man grabbers" of the different employment agencies. There was enough to go the rounds this morn. ing. and each solicitor received fair compensation for his efforts in secur. ing the Mexican laborers.
 Maurice Estrada was the oldest Mexican among the number. having passed the 18th milestone in his life. He was accompanied by his eight sons and their families. The youngest son was 30 years of age.
 It was a busy day for the immigra. tion officials. and in addition to the rians, two of whom were debarred be- cause of trachoma, a disease of the eyes.
 Statements from the six Japs, one of whom is a Jap sailor, captured at Anapra after running the border, were taken yesterday at the immigration bureau, and forwarded to Washington. The department at Washington will determine whether the Japs shall be deported to Mexico or to Japan.
 One Chinaman was apprehended last night at Carizozo, N. M. after be- ing smuggled over the border. Chief Sehmucker, of the immigration bu- reau, sent Inspector W. c. Green this morning to the New Mexico city to bring the Celestial to this port.

 OBJECTS ID NAME
Lincoln SteffenSr in Tucson, Will Write Story of
 Arizona,

TUCSON, Jan. 15.-Lincoln j. Steff ems, a prominent magazine writer whose story, the Shame of Cities, brought him into national prominence is in the city today. He arrived here last evening from Phoenix. He is now gathering data for an article on the territory and held a long conference with Governor Kibbey and other ter. ritorial officials while in Phoenix. Mir. Steffens is keen student of men and government and he has been classed with the so-called much rakers."
 This classification, however, MT. Steffens objects to. T am not dealing that there is in cities and in men that other cities and other men," he re- marked.
 MT. Steffens, in selecting Arizona as the place to come to gather data for his article The Story of a Territory which will appear later, selected Ari- zona because he was attracted by the loyalty shown by Arizonans in the re- cent fight against jointure.
 Pride, such as Arizonans show is an excellent thing" said MT. Steffens. Tt is helpful and upbuilding if prop erly directed.
 ''lt must not confine itself to re- sentiment against rumors of corrup- tion among legislatures and public of ficials. but must manifest itself in the prevention of corruption and misman agement."
 MT. Steffens is accompanied by his wife, and will visit California. He will return to the territory again after the legislative session is ended

They wanted to know why he did not stop when they called and he said he didn't know they were officers. but took them for hold-up men. They answered that he had bet ter be held up than killed and said it was a narrow escape for him that he wasn't killed.
 While this is only the second shoot ing affray that has taken place. many of the men have stories to tell of having some one yell at them from out the dark, Hold on there, l want to see you''
 Foreman Kuhns stated that while going from the boiler shop to the roun0house the otSer evening some one hailed him in the above manner and he informed him it was none of his d. business and went on into the roundhouse.
 The occurrences have become so l frequent of late and the killing of 1 Woods by Ranger Kidder in that vi lcinity and the shooting at Cheek is beginning to get on the mems nerves and they don't care to be called out nights any more.
 Said one man: "The officers evi. Idently think it is the open season for us fellows and take a pot shot at us for luck whenever they feel so in lclined."
 i Weursmith, the special officer em. ployed as watchman by the E. F. and 1 s. w, came here from Fl Paso few weeks ago and is one of the men whom the shopmen want removed. He has been telling the men they have nc

fitness. The county is very much in need of a jury room large enough to comfortably hold twelve men when they are compelled to stay over night, which should contain spring cots or suitable beds to sleep upon. rather than upon the floor where exposed to the cold, as has often been the case when court is in session during the winter months.
 Grand Jury Prisoners.
 The county jail is rapidly filling up with prisoners held to await the action of the April grand jury, there being some twenty-odd already in custody here. At the time of the impending of the special grand jury that indicted s. K. Williams, there were brought up before that body thirteen cases. and all of them, with the exception of three cases, were continued over to the next grand jury. The exceptions were those of Williams, Fisher and the Musso cases. Since that time other cases have been referred to the coming grand jury, so that there will be a large amount of business to be trans acted by that body when it meets, be- sides what will come to the surface between now and then.
 Released on Bond.
 J. E. Dallas, of Cochise Station, who has been held in the, county jail on a charge of criminally libeling one c. E.

The Law in Regard TO Advertising
Corporations.

Several inquiries have come to us
lately ia regard to the use of the
word, incorporated in the printed
and advertising matter of corporations.
The omission of this little wcrd has
brought trouble to several corporations
in the state. For the benefit Of the
business public, we give below the
law in regard to this matter. Section
$40 of the Kentucky statutes is as
follows:
Every corporation organized under
the laws Of this State, and every cor
poratiou doing business in this State,
shall, in a conspicuous place, on its
principal place or places of business,
in letters sufficiently large to be cas-
lily read, have painted or printed the
corporation name of such corporation,
and Immediately under the same, in
like manner, shall be painted or print
ed the word incorporated And i'm
mediately under the name of such corr
poration, upon all printed or advertis-
ing matter used by such corporation,
except railroad companies, banks, trust
companies, insurance companies and
building and loan associations, shall
appear in letters sufficiently large
to ~ easily read, the word 'lncorpo-
rated Any corporation which shall
fail or refuse to comply with the pro-
visions of this section shall be sub
jet to fine Of not less than one hum
bred dollars and not more than five
hundred dollars"

AN OBJECT OF PITY.
The Head of the Great To-
baccO Trust as He
Appears To-Day.

The following editorial is taken
from Tobacco" of January 10. d
trade paper. published in New York:
James b. Duke, the head of the to-
bacco trust, has been in many respects
a wonderful man in his day, but those
who saw him on the witness stand in
United States district court last week
were vividly impressed that if that day
is not already done, it is rapidly draw
ing to a close.
Although Duke is not an old man,
measured by mere years, he seems to
have already entered upon the twilight
of life, to those who recalled him as
he appeared a decade ago, he seemed
but a mere wreck of his former self.
While Duke in his predatory career
has probably never known what it was
to feel pity for others; while he has
never in his life given heed to a cry
of distress; while he has ever been cal
lOus to the suffering of mankind and
while he has at least been Indifferent,
if he has not actually gloated, as he
regarded the widesprealhaf baw 70
wrought to thousands and tens of
thousands by the iniquitous operations
of the tobacco trust-still there were
those who looked upon him with pity
and commiseration last week.
And in truth when Duke took the
witness stand to testify in behalf of
his tools under trial on criminal indict-
ments, he was in many respects an
object of pity. Duke has aged rapid
ly during the past twelve months, and
his appearance on the witness stand
was that of a haggard, harrassed,
careworn old man. There were fire.
quent symptoms that his once pow
erful nervous system was badly shat
tered He showed almost ungoverna-
BILE petulance and fretfulness at the
efforts of his own counsel to restrain
him, as well as at the Interruptions of
the prosecuting attorney and the adj
monitions of the court.
The spectacle was not a pleasant
one, of this prematurely worn and
aged man, who while surrounded by
sycophents and flatterers truly could
not even call one human being in all
the wide world his FREUD of a man
without the saving grace of human
sympathy, a man whose closest as
sociates laugh at him in their sleeves
and mimic his uncouth ways and il
literate utterances when they are be-
hind his back.
Despite his uncounted millions
there are few people facing a future
less joyous than is James b. Duke
in his declining days,

Convicted of Dog Stealing.

Mt. Sterling, Ky, Jan. 2S.-In the
Circuit Court, late Saturday afternoon
James Terry, of Nicholas county, was
found guilty of dog stealing and fined
$40 and costs. The case has been in
court over two years, being contin-
ued eight times. 1t was alleged that
Terry stole a collie dog from Clar-
ence White, a young farmer, while
driving past Whites farm on Mays
vile pike. The dog was worth about
$25, and was recovered by the owner.
The case has been bitterly fought, and
the conviction is a hard blow to young
Terry. While the verdict looks small,
the total costs in the case, including
attorneys fees, will bring the total
up to about $500, or sixteen times as
much rs the canine was worth.
