HALCYON DAYS OF TOMBSTONE

By c. D. REPPY

are excellent wives and mothers.
 The "Rustlers" of Galeyville were in the habit of going into the stores and helping themselves to anything they wanted. Hence, merchandising in that camp ceased to be profitable As in all ages, capital got to be overbear- ing, so one of the boys was arrested for simply taking pair of high-heeled boots in the presence of the proprietor and his clerk, and Judge w. H. Still well, who was then on the bench, gave him twenty years in the penitentiary. This discouraged the socialistic plan for some time. Shortly after Galeyville "went down, and no wonder
 At the November election of 1880, just prior to the formation of Cochise county out of this portion of Pima county, Bob Paul and Charley Shibell were rival candidates for sheriff. At San Simon there were barely enough voters for election officers, perhaps half dozen. Notwithstanding this fact there were l32 votes cast for Shibell and one for Paul. This was explained afterwards by one of the participants as follows: The judges and clerks had been kept busy all day between voting and drinks, and along about sundown one of them remarked, "This election is too d--d one-sided to suit me. be- lieve m put one in for Bob Paul. v This he did. On the face of the returns Shibell was elected, but the precinct was afterwards thrown out and Paul was successful Never before this cleo ton had party lines been drawn in the territory. Candidates got out and an nounced themselves and it was a go-as- you-please affair from start to finish,
 Supplies were hauled by team from Wilcox to Globe and the highest am. bition of teamster was to have n good outfit and live on canned goods. Julius Liebermann in those days was bigger man than John D. Rockefeller, the supplies.
 The Indians at times were trouble some and committed many outrages, but We are getting even with them now by working them on the railroad grade.
 The bad men from Bodie and the bad men from Dodge City met on neu- tral ground at Tombstone and many were the clashes, and many there were to bite the dust. At last it got to be universally admitted that fo. all-around badness, for quickness on the draw and for accuracy of aim, the gun-fghters of the Pacific slope were not in it with those from Texas, Kansas and Colo rado. There was hardly one of them who did not look for the best of it, and hardly one but would decline to fight if he failed to have the best of it. They had murder reduced to fine art.
 Now they are almost all dead.

boats will be running through the canal by 1913. As that would be the Balboa anniversary the people will hope that the dirt may be made to fly fast enough to make this guess good. Any time within the next six or seven years would bring the opening on the big anniver- sary Keats, in his "Peak in Darien {" poem, attempted to cheat Balboa out of the distinction of being the first white man who, from the American continent, "stared at the Pacific with a wild surmise." He gave the henor to "stout Cortez," possibly because Cortez s name woudl fit in better with the met. rical exigencies than would Balboa s. Keats, however, it must be borne in mind, was writing poetry, not history. But President Roosevelt knows the sub. jeet on the historical side, better than Keats did, and he and the man who will be president at the time of the canal s completion will give the honor of the discovery of the isthmus to the real diseoverer. Whenever the canal opening celebration takes place Balboa will be the big figure in the festivities, and the world would be glad to see this Bal. boa glorifeation take place in the Bal boa year.

THE CANAL IN 1913

Speaker Cannon, who has just re turned from the Caribbean, says the Panama canal is likely to be finished in five or six years, provided there is not too much interference with the work from Washington This quail ication is good thing to keep in mind by everybody who is making any guesses at the time when the canal will be opened. Nature has set up some impediments to the canal diggers at the isthmus, and the Washington bosses of the diggers have, on one or two occa, sions, ably reinforced nature.
 Stevens, the former chief engineer at the isthmus, fixes January, 1915, as the date at which the canal will be opened. This would be two years later than Speaker Cannon's s date. Stevens stay at the isthmus was longer than Can. non s, and his record as an engineer is somewhat higher than that of the Hi nois statesman. His opinion of the physical side of the task is probably entitled to more weight than Speaker Cannon's would be. But there are two sides to this problem and, on the politi- cal side MT. Cannon is probably better qualified to speak than is the ex-engin. eer. Whoever neglects the political phase of the canal digging will see only one part of the task and will be likely to be astray in any prophecies which he may make as to the time of the completion.
 As one guess about the date of the opening of the canal is as good as another, so long as it puts the open. ing a good many years in the future, the people will prefer Speaker Can. non s guess to that of Engineer Ste. Vens. According to Mir. Cannon the

 Major Truman has a story in the Ex aminer of February IS which he calls the "OutcOme of Joe Palmer's Poor Shot" and locates the scene in Cali fornia City, Pima county; time, 1880 | Sl.
 ! In the first place there is not and never was California City in Pima county. There was a California min ing district in the Chiricahua moun. tains with lively mining camp known as Galeyville, which for a time was the headquarters of the "Rustlers.' an or ganized band of cattle thieves. This is probably the place Major Truman refers to, but no such incidents as he relates ever occurred there. Neither did any of the characters he mentions ever live there, with the exception of "Curley Bill ' tall, blue-eyed blonde. with hair reaching to his shoulders, the very image of a dime novel hero. He it was who murdered City Marshal White in Tombstone in 1881 while re sisting arrest, by the then new method of handing his sixshooter butt first to the officer and whirling it on his fore finger, at the same time cooking it, and shooting his victim. "'Curley Bill" was turned loose, as was nearly every murderer in those days, and was after. wards killed by the Earp boys at tho Bradshaw mine, near Charleston. He became famous in song and story, and the birds at the Bird Cage in Tombstone warbled:

NEW METHOD OF REVIVING
THE DROWNED.

Popular Mechanics: If the discovery
by DR.. H. K. Whitford of Elgin, H.,
proves to be what he predicts, hundreds
of lives will be saved every year. He
declares he is able to revive human life
after it has been submerged in water up
to six hours.
The theory adanced by DR.. Whitford,
and deemed not an illogical one by ply
sicians, is an entirely new one. In speak
ing of his method he says:
1T is impossible for drop of water
to enter the lungs of person who en-
tiers the water alive. This is in contra
diction to the time honored belief that
the lungs of drowned person are fillec
with water
1.-The water striking the larynx causes
a, spasm which closes the lungs, and pre-
vents the entrance of water for period
of nine days, until relaxation COM
mences. Drowning, so-called, is merely
suspended animation, and not death.
ITO restore animation | proceed first
to thoroughly warm the body chilled ty
long immersion. This is accomplished
with hot water, in which the subject is
immersed for twenty minutes or longer.
Following this, the old and ordinary
methods of restoration are resorted to. y
This process, he says, makes possible
the saving of lives of persons who have
been submerged for time-not exceed
ing six hours. DR.. Whitford claims
never to have failed in his method OF
resuscitation, and believes that it will
be adopted universally.
There were over three hundred deaths
from drowning in this country from
January to July TO- and before the snow
flies this number will be almost doubled.

THOMAS GRIGGS.

The death of Thomas Griggs, drowned
accidentally Sunday afternoon in Bayou
Pierre, has aroused the deepest sympa-
thy of all who commiserate with the ur-
fortunate, and there is for his mother
and her children that feeling inexpress-
IDLE which lies deep in the heart.
The deceased was young man duti-
full in all things, and with honor as his
guide. He was about eighteen years of
age and was, owing to the recent death
of his father, the right arm of the family.
For years he had been connected with
the Shreveport Journal as route car
rier, and, as other boys who have sold
and delivered newspapers and become
great and illustrious, SO did this young
man give promise of much usefulness.
The tribute by Father Cummings to
the character of the deceased, i'll a dis
course ull of fervor and heart-reaching,
during the mortuary services in St.
Johns chapel, with FIVE priests assisting,
may be priced beyond the computation of
wealth by the sorely afflicted mother and
other relatives. 1t was in St. Johns
College that he had been taught, and
who, better than his teachers, could
measure his worth and then at death
give expression of their regard and love
for their pupil.
In attendance were the officials and
the employees of the Commercial Ma
tional Bank, where he had secured po-
sition recently Indeed, from personal
experience The Caucasian had learned
to know this young man in the course
of business relations and had for him a
tender spot in its heart. He was always
polite and genial and by his pleasant
manner was winning friends every day.
1t is unfortunate that so bright and use
full young man has been removed from
the activity of life-the mainstay Of his
mother, but God in His allwise dispen-
sation doeth all things well.
He. has been glorifed forevermore.
The large concourse of ladies and gen.
tleman, with a profusion of flowers, at
tested silently their sympaty for the I'M
fortunates in their great affection.
