.SWEDE ACCUSED OF
MOUNTAIN MURDER
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 16.-A spe-
cial to the Oregonian from Hillsboro,
Ore, says that Walter Johnson, who
was arrested tonight in Portland, is
charged with the murder of Elmer
Perdue, who was supposed to have
come from Spokane to Portland and
thence to a point in the mountains
twenty-five miles from here. Perdue's
body was found month or six weeks
ago by a boy near a cabin upon tim
ber claim, on which Perdue had filed.
The skull had been crushed and the
pockets rifed. save for two or three
stamped badges bearing the words "E.
E. Perdue, Spokane, Wash, 1907"
Perdue, it is alleged, in company
with several Swedes, was taken to the
neighborhood of Johnson. The Swedes
did not like the location and left Per-
due and Johnson in tn mountains. This
is alleged to have been the last time
Perdue was seen until his body was
found.
Perdue, 1t is stated, had considerable
money when he disappeared, and the
fact that he was last seen in john
sons company and that Johnson is
said to have been in straitened circum-
stances when he left for the noun
tains with the party, but paid Off sew
eral debts after his return, directed
suspicion to him and eventually led
to his arrest.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16.-Frank
Hicks, a machinist, was arrested today
after he had engaged in pistol duel
with Policeman T. f. Meehan, beaten
Frank Broderson with the butt end of
his revolver and shot at J. J. Klapper-
ish. who came to Broderson's rescue.
Broderson, angered by a report that
Hicks had slandered his wife and
mother-in-law, demanded an apology.
Hicks, who was the larger man, re-
piled by drawing his revolver, and
seizing Broderson by the throat began
to beat him over the head with the
heavy pistol.
Klapperich, attracted by the screams
of Mrs. Broderson and her mother,
came to the rescue.
Aim Proves Bad
Hicks let go of Broderson and shot
at Klapperich, but his aim was bad
and Klapperich was not touched.
Meanwhile Officer Meehan came on
the scene and found Hicks standing on
his porch f1ourishing his pistol at Klap-
perich, who was standing on the
ground.
Hicks took refuge in his house and
Meehan broke in the door. In the hall
way he was met by Hicks, who began
to shoot.
The officer returned the fire and five
shots were exchanged without effect.
When Hicks was reloading his revol-
yer Meehan placed his gun ia Hicks
head and compelled him to surrender
Hicks was booked on three charges
of assault with intent to kill.

THE PIONEERS.

The declaration contained in the
democratic territorial platform in fav-
or of building a home in Arizona for
the pioneers of this territory who may
be in need of care and assistance in
their declining years is a timely one.
There is no class of people in the
United States more deserving of graft
tude than the pioneers who were first
10 arrive and strike camp on Arizona
roll. 1t required courage, energy and
bravery to face the hardships and dan
gers encountered in Arizona forty
years ago, but the early Corners went
to work with will to develop the re-
sources at hand and subdue the hos
tile Indians. With rife in one hand
and miners pick in the other, the
early prospectors searched in the
mountains for mineral lodges. it was
these pioneers who made the original
| discoveries at Jerome Clifton, Globe,
Bisbee, Silver Bell and other districts.
Obligation to these pioneers should
be accumulated by the results of their
coming to the sun-kissed land and the
4 knowledge that Arizona mas already
become the greatest copper state in
the union. 1t was the pioneers who
first dug the bitches and took the wat
ers from the Hassayampa, the Salt
the CHA and the San Pedro rivers and
by irrigating the then desert valleys
demonstrated the fertility of the sol
and the possibilities of making Ari
IONA a great agricultural state in tn,
future.
VIII the present population of Ari
zona hesitate in the duty of caring To-
the remaining and lettering pioneer
of this territory? Certainly not.
The democratic platform condemns
the veto interposed to prevent tn,
building of home for the pioneers o
Arizona, as result of a bill enacte;
by the last Legislature. The democrat
pledge their support to this measure
as mark Of respect and gratitude I,
the men who bIazed the trail for civi
lization and prosperity IN Arizona.

SOWING THE
WHIRLWIND.

Owen Waller of New York, the ne
gro secretary of the Cosmopolitan
club, an organization well established
in the memory of the public for the
black and white dinner Of last winter,
has made the announcement that an
other dinner viii be given u New
York in October. The plans, he says,
are being matured, and the country
viii presumably again be treated to
the details of elegantly gowned wo-
men being taken in to the banquet by
negroes.
In the opinion of the Fort Worth
Record the dinner of last year was in
many ways one of the most shocking
things which has ever occurred in
America, and in this opinion most
people viii join. The inequalities of
the race are not thing which the
white man has made nor which he
may unmake. Superior peoples and
races there have been since humanity
has been and will be so long as hui
mainly is. It was so ordered in the
first great plan, and there is no argu-
ment which viii alter the fact. The
Creator made the white man superior
and so he must remain. The argument
does not make any appeal TO race
hatred. nor for any injustice or bit
terness--it is merely an incontroyerti-
bic fact and argues only for race pur-
ity. An admixture of the races is
fundamentally wrong and only evn
can grow out of it.
The broadcast minded OF negroes
realize this as completely as do the
whites. They also know that the real.

without any desire to discuss well
known conditions north ana south. it
is piain statement Of fact that a
Cosmopolitan club dinner would not
be possible anywhere in the south and
in few places north outside OF New
York. And New York is sowing the
wind to reap the whirlwind. II this
fool business of race equality isn't
checked We shan one day have con-
dition terrible even in contemplation.
There are even now conditions touch
