Caught in Aualanche WHh Tuo Bob- Cats
 THRILLING ADVENTURE AND FIERCE BATTLE IN MOGOlLoNS

After sliding down the mountain side for 600 feet with two bob cats with which he had been having desperate fight, T. c. Galbraith, prospector, sue cceded in despatching one of the ami mals, and made his way back to civil ization, badly cut and bruised, but not painfully injured. The other cat was apparently buried in the snow. At any rate, Galbraith did not wait to find out what had become of it.
 Tom Galbraith had been looking for bear for a couple of days in the Mogollon mountains. Provided with powerful field glasses, he climbed up above the snow line and stood at the edge of cliff, but a few feet from a tree, surveying the country below in hope of locating the particular MT. Bruin which had made of with his sup ply of bacon a few days before
 Suddenly there was rush and n snarling behind the huntsman, and he turned just in time to see two huge bobcats, which seemed to have leaped at him from the tree, falling short less than a couple of yards. The beasts paused an instant as Galbraith turned, but it was only for an instant, just long enough to permit him to drop the

glasses and pick up the rife he had laid at his feet. Before he could bring the piece in anything like position, the cats were at him, tooth and claws, and he could only attempt to fight them ofi with the rife in a vain endeavor for a shot at either of them.
 Fiercely fighting and whirling in the heavy snow, the desperate man ana his enraged assailants approached the edge of the cliff without seeing it. It was a battle royal, battle to tho death the blood lust raging in the heart of the human as wildly as in the bounding felines.
 The huntsmen at bay, bitten and scratched in score of places, still managed to deal terrific blows on the spotted forms, but these blows only fell upon the sinuous bodies, knocking this or that cat down for moment but only for moment, the other claw ing and ferociously endeavoring to ge, at the mans throat.
 Galbraith was forced out up on a rock at the very edge of the cliff. From this position he endeavored to knock at least one of the eats down tho steer side of the hill.

.cAMER0N'S
 PLURALITY
REPUBLICAN, BEAT MARK SMITH BY ONLY ABOUT SEVEN
 HUNDRED VOTES
OFFICIAL RETURNS FROM coUN- TIES PUT AN END TO ALL
 APPROPRIATION

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 27.-Ralph Cameron s plurality will total just a little more than 700, according to of fcial figures received from six counties at the office of the secretary of Ari. zona in Phoenix. The first reports, placing Cameron majority at more than thousand, were exaggerated. The figures of other counties not heard from are not likely to change the size of the republican candidates plurality to any extent.
 The law is that as soon as possible after the official canvass of votes is made by the board of supervisors in each county, the figures be forwarded to the secretary of Arizona. The figures have now been received from the coun- ties of Cochise, Gila, Maricopa, Pima, Yuma and Mohave and Cameron and Smith stand as follows.
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1908-11-29

It will be seen from the above that the vote was exceedingly close in sev. eral counties. Yuma and Pima were conceded to Smith when the first re. turns came in but Cameron has carried both, the former by II and the latter by 36. Smith carried Gila by 31 votes. In Coe ehise, Cameron won out by 203, in Maricopa by 229 and lost Mohave by l66. Smiths majority in the latter county was much larger than was first thought and the change in figures from that county has much to do with the cutting down of Cameron's s apparent majority.
 William B. Cleary, the Independence League candidate for delegate, polled his highest vote in his home county of Cochise. There he received 5 votes; II in Gila, 9 in Maricopa, 3 in Pima, 1 in Yuma and in Mohave. His total vote in the six counties heard from is 79. Sibley, the Prohibition candidate, received about the same number. Can non, the Socialist, received 356 in Co., chise, 404 in Gila, 179 in Maricopa, ll6 in Pima, l6l in Yuma and 5 in Mo have

THE ROBBERY IN THE PARK.

News from Yellowstone Park is not
just of the sort to encourage tourists.
Il appears that the other morning
seven stage coaches containing seven
parties of men and women. but mostly
women, were held up one after the
other as they reached a curve in the
road within a short distance of the
Old Faithful Inn, and relieved of
tewelry and money, the total of the
latter being about $1,000. Not one of
the party in any of the coaches car
ried weapons of any sort. That is
forbidden by the authorities, fact
which was probably known to the
lone robber whose task was made
quite easy thereby.
A question is now raised in the
minds of some whether the govern
ment, in issuing an order that de-
prives the tourist of all means of self
defense in case of an attack by rob-
bers or wild beasts, does not become
responsible for their safe conduct
while in the national park Without
answering that question, which may
be properly left to the courts if ap-
pealed to, it may be observed with
confidence that the order should be
modified so as to allow the coach
driver and guard, If there is one,
to carry arms, or an armed guard
should be provided to accompany any
party of tourists in the park. AS it
is. the tourists who are loudly ad-
vised to "See America First" will
think twice before they follow it.

An international congress of medi-

Lieutenant Charles E. Macdonald. a
United States army surgeon, now
stationed at Fort Mott. Salem. N.
J.. but formerly in the Philippine
Islands, where he made a study of
the disease. DR.. Macdonald inclines
to the following conclusions:
First-That sanitation has little. if
anything, to do with the contracting
or spreading of leprosy.
Second-That the disease is not con-
tagious and only slightly infectious.
Third-That it does prolong life
owing to peculiar immunity.
Fourth-That the eating of fish and
shell fish plays an important part in
the etiology of the disease.
F1fth@That it may possibly be an
obscure form of tuberculosis among
the lower animal life in fish, CLAIMS
and snails.
Sixth-That there is very little suf-
fering and discomfort among its VIC
Tins.
Seventh-That leprosy is disease
that is not as dangerous as we are
