AFTER THE FIGHT

Only one fight was reported in tie
county. At Gracey a white man
knocked down negro in a dispute
at the polls.
The ballots gave out in Bakers
Mill precinct and the Democratic
ticket lost, it is estimated, nearly 100
votes. Only 22O ballots. it is said,
were sent when there should have
been at least 300 provided.
Election day was followed by the
densest fog seen in this latitude for
years, yesterday morning, which re-
NAMED until we'll up in the day. 1t
was probably the same fog that be-
logged the voters Tuesday and caus-
ed them to vote wrong.

Election returns were received at
the Kentuckian office by the long
distance telephone, ever the Home
lines. The news began coming in by
8 o'clock and by 10 most of the DEM
ocrats had enough. The result in
the county race was known by 9

OBITUARY

Died at his home in Somers, Wis.
June 30, James Alexander Spence. He
is. survived by his wife, the youngest
daughter of Mr.. Alvin Strong, and one
daughter Mrs E. S. Bishop of Milwau-
kee, and three sisters.
He was the son of Alexander and
Isabel Spence, who were among the orr
ginal settlers of Somers, coming here
from Aberdeenshire, Scotland soon af-
ter their marriage
They were among those who gave to
the new community the character that
long distinguished it, of a people pos
sessed of high ideals of intelligence
morality, temperance and religious life.
James Spence was born March 6, 1S4S
and hau lived all his life in Somers.
He loved the life of the farm as few
men love their work and it was his de-
light to do this work in the very best
and most thorough manner. He was
keen in his observation and appreciation
of the beauties Of nature in all her
moods and methods of work. He was
lin sympathy with all living things.
The horses and other animals he cared
for knew him as a friend and he would
take infinite pains to save them from
suffering.
In his home he was kind and tender
and selfforgetful, his constant aim,
seemingly to be to shield from all that
was hard or disagreeable the dear ones
whose care was his delight.
The funeral services were held at the
residence on Thursday forenoon, July
2, conducted by his pastor Rev. L. n.
Williams, assisted by former pastor.
Rev. J. w. McNary and a quartette
from Kenosha who sang with sympathe-
tic expression some of the dear old
hymns.
Rev. McNary mentioned some of the
traits that characterized Mr.. Spence
as absolute truthfulness, honesty, kind
ness and unselishness, Christian char
acter and devotion to the church of
which he was for many years a faithful
elder. His statement was given added
force as he concluded. 81 speak with
great freedom as [ know there is not
an individual within the sound of my
voice who will challenge the truth of
any statement | have made.'
Rev. Williams bore testimony to Mr..
Spence's helpfulness in the church, his
kindly spirit and wisdom as an adviser
and to his loyalty as a friend.
For nearly two years he had been
failing in health and had known for
months that he would not recover, but he
was brave and cheerful and patient,
anxious only to save his friends trouble
and anxiety, for himself he was ready
to go. He will be greatly missed in the
home and the neighborhood and the
church.
A brave true man has lived his life
in Somers and God has called him to
rest and peace and higher service.

Regardless of the fact that there is still unrest and feeling of un- certainty east. Arizona is in a pros- peruos condition. Save for lower price for wool this year, stockmen have every reason to feel good. Ranges generally were never in a better condition and prices are holding up steadily. The only worry now IS among sheep owners who fear that reduction may be made iii the tariff on wool during the next year. which would result disasterously to their interests.

The city tickets present a good variety of names to vote for at the coming election. and from present indications seven councilmen will be elected. despite the fact that no one fully agrees as to just who they will be. That's merely de- tail anyhow. The people will elect a good set of officers. ones that will make things go. All we ask is for the voters to pick out good natured ones so they won't get cross if the Sun man wants to lam haste 'em once in while.

The Phoenix Gazette in speaking of gathering of railroad men at Phoenix last week to look into railroad freight rates. says they were surprised at the high rates charged. If they had been paying freight up in this neck O the woods for the past several years, they would not only have been surprised but deeply pained, not to speak of the financial difficulties in being able to keep paying. Railroads are entitled to fair rates hut when goods can be shipped from Chicago to Frisco and back cheaper than from Chicago direct to Flagstaff patrons of the road have a slight complaint to make. The termin- al story" to the effect that competi- tion makes cheaper rates at such points, does not seem to placate shippers at intermediate points. We can't all arrange to live at ter minal points.
