A|NSWORTH HAS
 DATE WITH TEDDY
Joint Statehood Apostle Will Journey to Oyster Bay Next Week to Confer on Arizona Matters-Is Pledged to Support Wilson for Governor.

c. F. Ainsworth, attorney, politician and apostle of jointism in Arizona, is to be in Oyster Bay July % for a con ference with President Roosevelt re- garding the Arizona situation, especial ly with reference with the governor s chair and the attitude of the next con gress toward the territories, says the Democrat.
 While Ainsworth is pledged to sup port General T. F. Wilson of Tucson for governor in the event of there be- ing a change in Arizona, other leading lights in the coterie of iointists are by no means satisfied with the Tucson statesman, and hay already begun a fight against him.
 In Phoenix there is dissension and diseord in the ranks, and all over the possible naming of Wilson by President Roosevelt to succeed Governor Kibbey should the latter at any time decide that he does not want to continue the head of the territory.
 So strong is the opposition to Wilson growise that to defeat him it is sug- gested today by several leading jointists that they begin concerted effort against him, and leave it to President Roosevelt to decide between Wilson and some other man they may name.
 Not a few of the jointists go so far as to say that for the good of joint statehood they willingly see President Roosevelt look for suitable gubernator- ial timber outside of the territory, going to Ohio if necessary to get suitable man.
 Opposition to Wilson grows from the fact that he is rather "sot in his ways !" and might not be willing to bend lis tening ear to suggestions that might be intended to further the interests of joint statehood.
 Before Ainsworth left Phoenix a short time ago for the coast he was fully informed of the stand that several of his followers have decided to take, but Ainsworth is pledged to General Wilson and it is believed will continue in his support in spite of the strong opposition that is developing in the ranks.
 On good authority it is stated that Ainsworth has made all his arrange ments to be in Oyster Bay Thursday, July 25, for heart to heart talk with President Roosevelt. While east Aims worth is said to be shaping his timer ary in such a manner that it will in clude the homes of several of Arizona $ autonomy enemies.

INDIAN GIRL AFTER RIGHTS
Prescott Attorneys Sue in Behalf ot
 Bessie Brooks Edgar

A recent dispatch from Prescott says:
 Another chapter in the life story of Bessie Brooks, now Mrs. James Edgar, supposedly adopted Indian daughter of Hezekiah Brooks, the Prescott pioneer, who passed away in Ohio some days since, and the fight for the latter's cs- tate, was recorded yesterday, when At torney Leroy Anderson and T. J. Job filed suit in the district court against all the heirs at law of Hezekiah Brooks in behalf of Mrs. Edgar, asking that the verdict of tine probate court in the mat ter be set aside, and Mrs. Edgar de- clared the lawful heir to the property of the deceased, which consists of $133.57 cash and considerable real es- tate in and near this city.
 In her complaint Mrs. Edgar alleges that some time between the years of 1867 and 1870, when she was an In dian papoose, about IS months old, she was taken into the home of Hezekiah Brooks and his wife, and led to believe that she had been legally adopted and would be made the neir upon the death of Mir. Brooks; also that she was given the name of Bessie Brooks, and until her marriage to MT. Edgar performed all the duties of daughter toward Mr. and Mrs. Brooks.

HAVE LARGE BILL
 FOR ADVERTISING
Mining Company Which Has Been Go ing to Full-page Advertisements Sued for Over S40,o0O by Agents in Court at Tombstone-Mine Is Attached.

In suit filed recently at Tombstone one of the largest judgments for adver- tising charges ever sought against an Arizona mining company is brought to light when the advertising agency of Albert Frank & Co. of New York filed a complaint against the Bonanza Belt Copper company of Johnson camp for $40,623.21, alleged to be due them for advertising, and attaching the mine of the company in lieu of the money.
 In the complaint which was filed with the county clerk few days since, Frank & Co.,, through James Roseovan, president of the corporation, allege that on May lst they entered into contract with the Bonanza Belt people to secure for them publicity to large extent in various papers over the country. This they claim to have done, the advertise ments being for the purpose of selling stock. They claim that they made claim for the amount of their bill to the company July l, as that was tie date on which it was payable, and that the Bonanza Belt management refused to pay. With the complaint bond of $40,7 is filed.
 Deputy Sheriff Ned White made the trip from Tombstone to Johnson camp shortly after receiving the papers in the case and attached the mine. The case will probably be heard during the present term of the district court.

torial insane asylum from Tombstone yesterday by Sheriff Jack White, says a Phoenix paper.
 Cummings made a desperate fight while the train stood at the Tucson depot to make his escape, calling out that he was being kidnapped and begging all within reach of his voice to come to his rescue and help him regain his lib- erty.
 To keep his charge under control it was necessary for Sheriff White to put him in a straightjacket and keep him there until he reached the asylum where Cummings was landed inside a padded cell before he was released from the jacket.
 When he started from Tombstone Saturday afternoon Sheriff White put the insane man in the straightjacket, but released him when he reached Ben son. Cummings became violent after the jacket was taken off and had to be bound again.
 Just before reaching Tucson, Cum mings worked one of his arms loose and started to fight. Sheriff White had to exert all his strength to get him bound again, after which time he watched him closely to see that he did not work loose again.
 Cummings was arrested at Paradise, and when taken to Tombstone it took six men to put him in cell. He cursed all who were near him, shouting out that they were trying to kidnap him and take him into Mexico.
 Cummings has been prospecting in southern Arizona for the past twenty years and is well known to many old timers. He worked for time in Globe. There is little hope of his recovery.
 While Sheriff White was at Benson for three hours between trains he was the subject of verbal attack by Mother" Jones, the female union az itator. She charged him with being a hireling of the Copper Queen company, pouring out her wrath on the head of White, as well as all others who in any way held the union leaders in cheek during the recent strike in Bisbee. White had to keep his mouth shut and take from woman what he might have resented had it been a man talking. |" Mother' Jones evidently realized this.
