CONSUL MAYA TRYING MORE DIRT?
Editor LeIeyier of Douglas Now Claims to Be Victim of
 Persecution.

TUCSON, Aug. 1.-Asserting that he Is innocent of the charge made against him, G. c. Lelevier, the Mexi- can editor arrested Saturday, at Doug las, on charge of larceny, is feder- al prisoner in the county jail, who awaits the next move of the Mexican government
 United States Marshal Daniels stated yesterday that as yet LeIe- vier's hearing has not been set. add ing that under the treaty with Mexi- co he can hold his prisoner forty days until some action is taken.
 Lelevier asserted yesterday that his arrest is the result of persecution on the part of Mexican Consul Maza at Douglas and Comisario Cibillas of Naco, two Mexican officials he has bitterly denounced Lelevier makes the following statement:
 ''The charge they have against me, upon which they are seeking extradi- ton, is that my boy stole S10 check at Naco, Sonora, and that I disposed of the paper The facts of the mat ter are that my boy bought check for SIC. then had mercantile bus mess at Naco. I sent the check into  Chicago to pay for some sporting goods bought from the Montgomery Ward company. Later when I found I was not entitled to the check made it good. At that time I was living on American soil and my boy, who has been arrested with me, Is American born.
 T charge that this is the basest of persecution. They want me because 1 have exposed their rottenness. Re centty I published a story to sss sf- feet that the comisario of police at Naco had been fined s1100 for graft ing. I also exposed the arrest of an Indian who had worked in the mines at Bisbee for several years for good money and who, caught one day at Naco, Sonora, was relieved kDf ali his money and sent away to the mines in Yucatan to work for 25 cents a day. These incidents furnish the motive of my arrest by the Mexi- can authorities.
 They need not think to stop me. Even though I should be extradited and done away with have wife and several children and my work will go on. Their real object Ia to ruin me financially, even though they can not murder me"

NATURE FAkER IN
 A RABBIT DRIVE Wild Yarn of How Peoria Was Helped to Slaughter
 on Hunt.

PHOENIX, Aug. News leaks in from Peoria of another spectacular rabbit drive. It was really more of a novelty than the big drive that first made Peoria famous, only there were not so many people present to enjoy it- The story has not yet been di- rectly authenticated by eye witnesses, but the circumstantial evidence is very strong, the main feature of it being that Fred WooIsey brought in a big consignment of rabbit scalps to the supervisors on Saturday. But the story is worth telling even if it was stretched a little.
 The incident occurred some time last week, during the rains. A num- Der of the residents of the Peoria sec. ton decided to organize a little drive and did so. They took in an area some distance north and west cs Peoria and circIed over quite q large territory. driving the rabbits toward the then dry bed Of New River. It had been raining quite hard up the river few hours before. About the time the drivers and their quarry were working down what might be called the "core7 of the river bed being the high ground between two widely separated channels of the stream, the flood water overlook them. It separated some distance above, going down both channels. Be- fore the rabbits knew f., or the drivers either. they were on an island. The rabbits trotted along quite rapid ly until they saw they were trapped by the rivers coming together again. The drivers appreciated that they must act quickly for New Riyes doez not generally stay up long at a time. The chief purpose was to kill the rab- bits and the getting of the scaIps for the bounty was a secondary consid- eration. It is said there must have been io,000 rabbits on that island
 The drivers first tried to run them into the river but Bre'r Rabbit knew he could not swim and refused to take to the water, preferring his chance of dodging the enemy on land When they found that they could not

GRASS VALLEY. August With two bullet wounds in his body and dangerously injured. Dr. |. E. Scobie, as Osteopath, lies in the Jones Memo rial hospital here, while his would-be slayer. ". P. Sigourney, is desd at Nevada City where the tragedy uc cured Saturday night scobie has a chance to recover.
 The cause of the shooting E shrouded in mystery. S5nle declare Sigourney was insane at the time. Others allege that insane jealousy prompeted the crime. The sE3Jsing .oecarred at Sigeurney's home on Coyote street Scooie was summoned to attend the latter's wife who has beeR sufferer from rheumatism and has been an invalid for long time At the door SIgourney met the young doctor. who is only B, adj adr;itted him to the room where his wife lay.

 After shooting Scobis. Sigourhey strangely enough, assisted hiIn to his home on Broad street Before leaving he is said to have called to his wife, -.I'Il get you when come back" This terrified her so that despite the fact that she had not walked for weeks, she ran to the telephone and told her brother and mother. They came and remoyed her during Sigourney's ab- s.r,ce The latter returned fo niz home later and committed suicide by blowing out his brains.

THINKS HE
 MAY BE PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, D. C., August l.
 Secretary of the Treasury George B Cortelyou, whom many astute poli
 ticians look upon as an active candi
 date for the Republican presidential nomination in 1908 is 45 years old Secretary Cortelyou is spending the summer at his home on Long Island
 but he runs over to Washington at in
 tervals to look after affairs in the treasury department and to keep ir close touch with the political sltua ton.
 As everyone knows who reads the
 newspapers, there is scarcely another
 man in public life who has come tc the front so rapidly as has NIT. Cor telyou. He is undeniably a fine cx
 ample of the young American whc
 rises by the sheer force of natural
 ability and application. In his ~oush
 he had an inclination for musi. as q career. and pursued seyersl coutses
 in the New England Cease-yators of
 Music. But he dropped music and took up the study of atenogTaDhv
 Fifteen years ago he entered tle gov ernment service as stenog ,apher tu the appraiser of the port of New
 York. He came to Washington as a stenographer Ll one of tha depart ments and in 1898 went 10 -hc White House as assistant secretary to Presi. dent Mckinley. This was the begin ming of a series of "a Jid promotions. Private secretary frs, t0 Presiden. Mckinley and then U President Roosevelt, secretary Of the Iepart- ,f master general of me UnLel States and secretary of the treasury all came in rapid succe s9iGl. In 1901 he was chosen to manage the Republican national campaign, in other words, to fill the shoes that had been worn in days gone by by such consumm lte political leaders as Zack Chandler, Matthew S. Quay and Marcus A. Han na. And now, at 45 years of age, bis name is metioned in connection with the presidency of the United States.
 Secretary 'Cortelyou himself is be- lieyed to have the presidential bee ih his bonnet and possibly thinks he may stand a show as partially ad- ministration and partially conserya- tive" candidate if anything happens to sidetrack the Taft movement and the President sticks to his determina- ton not to run again.
 Cortelyou is acknowledged to be a consummate political manager. There is not diplomat in Washington more adroit He is a great organizer. He works so easily and quietly that he never-Seems to be busy. But he does a tremendous lot of work for all that. He has the distinction of never having been a business man, but of being remarkably well equipped to handle businessk questions. The cap tains of industry believe in Cortel- you. uch men as Morgan and Bliss think very highly of him. It is re- called that in 1904 Mir. Bliss con- sented to serve as treasurer of the committee only when told that MT. Cortelyou would be chair man.
 Mir Cortelyou may now be a long way from entering the White House, but that he himself thinks he has a chance to win is undisputed. He thinks so we'll of his chances, in fact, that he has refused several brilliant business openings so as to remain in politics and keep "in line"

thus dispose of the pests at whole sale the drivers armed themselves with clubs and slew as many as pos sible, getting hundreds of scalps. But there were only few drivers and the Island was quit large one. SO many of the rabbits managed to dodge the bolo men until night, when they left the field of battle.

mand for Attorney Monks resignation
from the office of city attorney was em-
uhatically denied today by the mayor and

Mayor Downs and Trustees Oakford and

ney Monk should be superseded
Owing to the state of public opinion at

known publicly in the near future.
