SERIOUS ACCIDENT
 NARROWLY AVERTED,

\ very serious accident was marrow F aFerted at the home of W. II. Gloe last Sunday morning by the prompt action ot Miss Pearl Gloe who was painfully but not seriously burned about the arms n the heroic rescue.
 The little girl of MT. and Mrs. Dan Bohart. the granddaughter, was playing about the house and by some reason struck d match which ignited her clothing, and but for the fact of Miss Pearl being near by and coming to the little girls rescue promptly and sensibly 1t would have most likely burned to death in the accident. Miss Pearl smothered out the blaze with her own cloth ing but not until she received some painful burns on her arms.

REPUBLICANS
 IN A ROW. C0ntesting Delegations Will Likely Go to the National
 Convention.

Little Rock, April B. For the first time in the history of the Republican party in Arkansas contested delegations will be sent to the Republican national con- vention from this state. It has been the boast of Gen. Powell Clayton and other Republican leaders that Arkansas was about the only Southern state that has sent united delegation to tile national convention, and tie Gen eral always referred to the fact with pride, showing that his leadership has met with the ap- proval of all factions of the party in the state. This prete- dent k about to be laid aside this year unless all present signs fail. It k known that several counties will send contested delegations to tile convention next week, and 1t Is also practically settled that the delegations favorable to the state organization will De seated.
 If this program Is carried out d bolt will unquestionably follow, and both factions will select dele gates to the national convention. The one headed by Gen.. Clayton will be instructed for Nr. Taft for president and the other will go uninstructed, and the faction in control of the national eonven- ton will pass judgment as to which delegation shall take part in the Chicago convention. Prominent leaders of the party in Little Rock are members of both of the delegations from Pulaski county, and the great fight in the convention will be over the seating of .ti1e Little Rock delegates.

CAMERON is COMING.

SAmEhSN 10 SOiHiNS-
Now that Ralph Cameron has COM
pleted his visit to Globe, where he
wrung the hands of George Mauk,
George Smalley, Charley Martin and,
few more of the faithful followers
of the G. o. P. in the ella county
metropolis, it is announced that he
will arrive in Cochise county today or
tomorrow ready TO fall on the necks
of Hoval A. Smith, Mike Cassidy and
W. P. McNair at Bisbee and Charley
Overlook, Charles Purdon and Albert
Stacy of Douglas and weep tears of
joy as they tell him that dear old Co
chise has forsaken the democratic par
ty and is now ready to give majority
to the man of Coconino county.
The visit of Mr.. Cameron to Co
chise county will hardly have any Wis
ible effect. on the political results next
November when compared with the
returns of two years ago. We trust
that he will become impressed with
the industrial greatness of this part
of the territory and be prepared to
return to his northern home filed
with the knowledge that while the
people of Cochise county are not to
be changed from their political faiths
they are entitled to be classed with
the energetic and intelligent citizen
ship of Arizona. Being SO impressed
Mr.. Cameron will no doubt tell of the
excellent conditions here as he passes
through other counties during the
campaign. He will find here that the
mineral industry is on larger scale
than in any other county in the south
west; he will find business prosperity
on every hand; he viii find magnifi-
cent churches and splendid schools;
he will find that industrial conditions
here are equal to any to be found in
the country; he will find happy and
contented homes, amaiable children
handsome women, sturdy men and a
growing democratic majority. When
these conditions are impressed on the
mind of Cameron and he tells of them
as he passes on TO defeat in Novem-
Der his trip to dear old Cochiss win
not have been eitrely without good eff.
feet.
Mr. Cameron will probably find be
fore he completes his campaign, OF at
least soon afterwards, that the demo
Gratis of Arizona were never in a
more eontented state of mind ard tnat
with Bryan and Mark Smith as the
leaders they win remain as rue to
the old party as they ever cave in
the past
We trust Mr.. Cameron viii 'njoy
khfs visit to Cochise county. but he viii
find that there is little doing for him
in November. no matter what he is
told by those who are responsible for
his nomination.
