IS NOT A CANDIDATE

Henry F Ashurst, district attor- ney of Coconino county, while in Williams, last week, was inter viewed by the NEWS regarding his plans for the future along political lines. Mr. Ashurst's many friends in Northern Arizona have been in- sistine. lately, that he make some effort to further his political stand ing, and a number have signified their intention to support him for the congressional nomination at the next territorial democratic con vention.
 When shown a very flatterine letter the NEWS had received from one of Mir. Ashurst's many admir- CTS in Southern Ariznna, asking about his candidacy for congress. he smiled in his usual significant manner and handed us the follow ing written statement: 'Under no circumstances would I accept the nomination for congress in 190S."
 This statement will be somewhat of disappointment to great many of our readers, who admire MT. Ashurs: for his uncommon ability and his courage. Of course, his friends would not expect him 10 run off with the congressional honors as easily as he has done with everything else he has tack led, but they would like to see him give some of the old "wheel horses" like Mark Smith and Eugene Brady O'Neill a run for their money.
 By making the race MT Ashurst could gain great deal of irable advertising, if he did nothing else, but right at present he is serving the people of Coconino county in the capacity of district attorney. and, it seems, does not care to neg lect that duty for the glories of a scrap for the congressional nom- ination.

A POLITICAL PUZZLE

"Shall the republican delegation from this territory go to the national l republican convention instructed d for Secretary Taft, or shall they go untrammeled by instructions of any kind?" That>is the chief topic of discussion in republican circles all over Arizona. It is dominated by an interrogation point of gigan- tic proportions-and many and heated are the discussions it has brought forth. Chairman Tenny of the territorial republican central committee has called a meeting of the executive committee for Tucson on February 22. at which the place of holding the republican convtn- tion will be named
 In order to guage the sentiment of Arizona in favor of an instruct ed or uninstructed delegation 10 the national republican conven- tion, the Tucson Star sent tele- grams last week to thirty news. paper editors in various parts of the territory asking them to express their opinion, and the sentiment of their respective localities on the proposition. The following news papers expressed themselves as be ing in favor of an uninstructed delegation, or if instructed, to be instructed for Foraker:
 Tempe News; International Am erican, Douglas; Bisbee Review :; Williams News; Prescott Courier; Jerome News; Kingman Miner; Arizona Democrat; Bisbee Even ing Miner.
 Those papers favoring an in- structed delegation, or Taft, are: Mesa Free Press; Globe Miner *Winslow Mail; Douglas Dispatch :; Wilcox Range News; Tucson Post. t*Democrat, but of the opinion that Navajo county republicans prefer an instructed delegation )
 The News is of the opinion that three fourths of the republicans oi Northern Arizona favor an un- instructed delegation.

Truants from School.

A number of well-known bows played "hookey" from school one day last week and caught a freight train to Ash Fork, expecting to return in the evening. but failed. and finally arrived home about four o'clock the next morning. after rather unpleasant nights adventure The father of one of the boys told us the other day that he thought his boy would not care to repeat the performance very soon. Parents of boys who are in- clined to find enjoyme in play ing truant from school and in riding on freight trains should not neglect to impress foreibly upon the youngsters minds, the wrong and dangers of the practice. The penitentiaries of the country are full of men, who as boys began their careers by playing truant from school Graveyards are dot ted with graves of boys who were killed riding freight trains, and thousands of men have to go through life minus leg or arm because of the freight train riding evil. Besides. Mir. Patterson, the Santa Fe special officer, is con stantly on the lookout for boys who jump" trains, and the first ones caught will be severely dealt with.

Wreck on Santa Fe

Passenger train No. ? ran into the rear end of freight train Saturday night about fifteen miles east of Flagstaff. demolishing the rear cars of the freight, but fortu nately no one was injured on either train.' It took several hours to clean away ths wreckage. No. 2 did not arrive in Winslow until : o'clock. a. m., Sunday. The crew of the freight train was to blame for the wreck and, we understand. were promptly discharged. It was very fortunate, indeed, that no one was killed or injured.

A Broken Rail

By the carefulness and fore thought of the rear brakeman on No. 3, Sunday morning serious wreck was avoided. No. 8 was late, and when she arrived here the brakeman hunted up Conductor Penrod. who was preparing to leave town on an east bound extra, and told Mr.. Penrod he thought there was a broken rail about two miles east. On arriving at mile post 316 the crew of the extra began search for the broken rail and were not very long finding it-that is, what was left of it. After collect ing all the scattered pieces of the rail they could find, there were still about seven feet missing, which they could not loo ate. Several pieces were found some two hun dred feet from the track. How the rail got so badly shattered is as much of a mystery as how No. 3 ever managed to get over the brok en rail without going into the ditch.

The supreme court of Kansas has interpreted a new law in re- gard to the rights of the widow. If the wife continues 10 reside upon the homestead after the death of her husband, even if she has TO children, 1t is exempt as home stead and cannot be taken from her either for her own or her hus- bands debts. no matter when such debts have been incurred. This gives equal homestead rights 10 the husband and wife. and it gives the widow that which she needs more after her husbands death than while he was living. Kansas sets a good example to the rest of the states where the rights of women are concerned.

While making mention of the improvements made during the year 1907 to the residence section of Williams, we failed to mention the fine residence erected by Aug. Lindstrom, just outside the city limits. The residence is the finest in the city and cost about $5,O00. E. Lamb also built two room ad- dition to his home on Williams avenue at a cost of $400. We are sorry to have omitted these impor- tant items, but think it better to mention them now than never.

FOUND DEAD IN BAY.
BODIES OF MAN AND WOMAN
BOUND WITH WIRE.
FEW MARKS TO IDENTIFY THEM
May Have Been Tied by an Enemy
and Cast Into Water, or Might
Have Preferred Death.

New York, n. Y.-Bouat face &c
face with rope Inc wire, the bodies OF
a man and a woman, both extensively
clad, were found today floating IN the
waters of Jamaica Bay. The Brooklyn
police, who are investigating tae
mystery. are unable to say whether il
is murder or double suicide.
An enemy might have bound the
rope about the couple which held them
close while the waters choked out
their life, or they may have chosen
death to life apart.
That the suicide theory is possible
is indicated by the fact that to the
woman's wrist was wired a handsome
alligator bag containing mutilated let.
tiers and a $40 bill. All other marks
OF identity have been effaced.
Fishermen Find Bodies.
The floating bodies were discovered
when fishermen in a launch ran them
down about two miles from Crescent
street, east New York, and a mes
sage was sent to the police as soon as
the launch struck shore with it's tow.
Coroner Mutt Of Queens County de
clares that the bodies had not been in
the water more than three or four
hours.
The woman was blonde, about 80
On her finger was a wedding ring

gold watch and chain, and on these
trinkets the police rely to solve the

Grant Exile Will Be
Recommended.

Washington, d. C.-The case of
William F. Stewart before the army
retiring board was closed Friday after

will recommend his retirement.
Testifying in his own behalf, Col.
Stewart asserted that the day after

horseback with Maj. Foster, Lieut..
Parker and Chaplain Chase OF the
Fifth Cavalry. He added that for
some time after that he rode every af-
ternoon in company with Chaplain
Chase from s to IA miles.
Often the riding was fast. On one
occasion they went five and a half
miles from the post and covered the
return trip in 2S minutes, walking
their horses the last mile, in order to
let them cool of.
The Colonel stated he had been in
the service Al years, 10 months and
9 days. So far as he knew, only four
officers now on the active list have ex-
ceeded this record.
