Considerable anxiety was felt in this city yesterday for one James Hardin, who left here Sunday for Cochise Stronghold to bring in 2 wagon and team of horses for County Superin- tenden. J A. Rockiellow. A tele- phone message was received early yes terday morning from Pearce stating that the horse that Hardin had been riding had come to the old Noonsn r-nch but no trace of the rider was had. Arrangements were mace ct once to send out a searching party. About 5 o'clock Hardin drove into town with the team. He stated that he was riding the horse and got down to fix the saddle. when the horse ierked away from him, snd he wa. compelled to walk c distance of abou, ten miles to reach the ranch. Hardin being an old man and somewhat crip- pied up with rheumatism, had harc time in making the walk and wa compelled to sleep out one night ol the ground without any covering an, food.

Vice President
 Coming to Arizona

Is Vice President Fairbank con- ing to Arizona to play a game of poli- tics?
 This is the question that the wise acres are asking each other in Phoe- nix just about the time that they have finished discussing the political significance of Garfield and Hitch. cocks visits to Arizona.
 It is known that Fairbanks is com ing through Arizona on the Santa Fe, and it is being whispered that ar- engagements are being made for him to stop at several points, at least one point, where he can have a consulta. tion with some of the territorial poli- ticians.
 Fairbanks is really going to the ir- rigation congress, but it is understood will stop one day in Arizona

The WouId- be
 Arizona Bad Man

To put it in common terms, Juan Ponce is four fl Isber. Ponce Is the would-be depersdo who shot his wife some time ago in Morenci and skipped out. He later sent threatening let ter to Deputy Sheriff Glen Scstt of Graham county, daring the officer to follow him. Ponce in his letter to Scott stated that he had a gun and would use it on the deputy at the first opportunity. and in the letter made several other statements which would indicate that he was really 6 bad man.
 Scott immediately accepted the challenge of the desperado and in com psny with Deputy Mungis of Graham county, started for Silver Bell, where it wss reported that Ponce was in hiding. Upon arrival in that camp, the officers were informed that Ponce had taken to the hills, and they start ed atonce in pursuit. The mountains around Silver Bell were thoroughly secured, but no Ponce was to be found. In disgust the two officers ab- andoned the chase and returned to Silver Bell.
 Ponce is evidently one of those bad men who grow brave as the dis tsnee between him and his pursuers becomes greater.

No longer will the Kid lie awake at nights think ing of sailing the Spanish main at the head of a band of cut-throsts who fear neither man nor devil.
 The Postmaster General, who evil dently never was real boy himself, has made & ruline that hereafter Diamond Dick" and 6 number of similar publications are no longer eligible to pass through the United States mails as second class matter.

Tombstone Victorious
 Over Tucson
By JOE MANNING.

l " sS- hHNNttN0.
 Before an immense Sunday crow
 and amidst the widest excitement
 Tombstone defeated the Tucson tean
 oy score of 9 too. Up to the fiitl inning 1t was a rare contest, and i
 looked as if the visitors would be shu
 out.
 Beginning with the sixth few O
 the local players went up in the sil
 and when the descended the score
 stood i2 90 ;n favor of the visitors
 Murphy relieved Crable in the hox
 From then on to the ninth sau a fierce
 batting rally and Myron was pounded
 out of the box. Collins, who took his
 place, fsred no better, and when it
 wss seen that the home team would win out, the visitors, protesting against decision of the umpire, quit. Johnson pulled his watch, and when the time !imit-l5 minutes-had ex- pired awarded the game to Tombstone, folio sing the rule in forfeited games Of wip ng out all scores and awarding one run for each inning to the win ners, thus making the score 9 to in favor of Tombstone.
 Jcnes, Reiss and Murphy played great ball. Jones batted like a fiend and ran the bsses like demon, while his fielding was marvellous. Reiss ac- cepted ten chances without an error, while Murphy's playing was spectac- ulsr, outside of taking a plunge in the duck pond. The following statements tell the story, and the public can judge as to who is to blame:
 Manager Arthur Gage of the Tomb 1 stone Club:-I would rather lose a game than win it the way We did. l found the Corbett team a gentlemanly lot of players, aad it is to be deplored that the incident happened. Up to the fifth we had won, hands down, and then we handed them the game on There is TO doubt in my mind we would have run away with them if they had played the game out
 Manager Corbett of the Tucson team:-Our boys quit because we be- ieyed we received the worst of the Impire's decisions. I have no fault 70 find with the manager and players 1f the Tombstone nine; they played a yovd clean game of ball, and We cer- .sinly have received splendid treat. nent from them. It is hard to con- .rol A bunch of ball players, and was wiling myself to play it out, put some ,i the boys could not see it that way
 Umpire Frank Johnson:-In my opinion the reason of the Tucson. eaving the diamond vas that Pitcher Myron "blowed up." and when Collins went in he did not seem to stop the | batting rally of the locals. Their oi Jones beng out on third was grand mistake. The captain of the Tucson team had not mentioned about ,calling time. When the fielders left thelr positions the re- suit was that the field was left open to Jones. The rules plainly state that the captain alone shall have the priv ege of disputing the umpires' decis ions. In this case the catcher left his position to argue the point and Jones taking advantage of the play dashed in at a 2:40 clip and scored. I refused to call him out, when few of the | Tucson players left the field, and l awarded the game to Tombstone, ac- cording to the rules, by the score of 9to0.

The Kinard Gospel Tent has
been pitched in Edgefeld fo.'ten
days, and the preaching ofthe
gospel and the splendid choir
sending forth the songs of Zion
on the morning. and evening air
are drawing hundreds Of people
from far and hear besides the hun
dreds who ale attending for the
love they bear the great cause

praying for great blessing on the
town and county Of Edg efeld.
Sunday morning and evening
the tent was overaowing. On Sun
day evening Mr.. Dunaway preach
eda sermon which for force and
effect has never been equalled in
Edgefeld. His denunciation of
sin was founded on the interpre-
tation Of it in the Sermon on the
Mount, as proclaimed by the Saw
iour himself dealing especially
with murder, lust and profanity
in all their bearings, and as heart
sins as we'll as outward acts. Sun
day afternoon was given to the
colored people, when large crowd
of appreciative people were pres
ent listening to a practical SER
mon by Rev. Mr.. Kiuard, the text
being "Six days shalt thou work."

Death of Col. John R. Tompkins.


The friends of Col. John R.
Tompkins can scarcely realize that
bis eyes have been closed in eter-
nal sleep and that bis familiar
form will be seen no more among
us. For some years it had been
fis custom to spend his summers
in Edgeseld among relatives and
lifelong friends who always greet
ed. him most affectionately. AL
though he left the county of his
nativity in early manhood and
sought his fortune in Mobile. Ala,
be was always devoted, loyal and
true, to Edgefeld county. Moth
ing ever gave him more genuine
pleasure than to mingle with the
people of his old home.
Col. Tompkins' magnetic per-
sonality, amiable and gentle man
ner, kind and generous nature,
always drew men to him, and
caused him to be honored, estee M
ed, beloved, wherever he went or
was known. He possessed unusual
strength and breadth of mind. and
was not only a statesman and
iurist of renown but was also we'll
versed in literary lore.
Col. Tompkins was first mar
ried to an Alabama lady, from
which union three children sur
vive him. His second wife was
Miss Fannie Tompkins of Edge
f-ld who will return at an early
day 10 make her home among us.
