 A BIG SHELTER

PHOENIX, January 23.-Charles E. Finney has raised $l,200,000 in Boston with which to build 60O-ton smelter on the property of the London. Arizona company, near Winkelman.
 Finney's success came to Phoenix last night in the shape of telegram to H. c. Malloy, constructing engineer for the London-Arizona company, to- gether with instructions to make prep. arations for the immediate starting of work on the London-Arizona plant.
 About two weeks ago, General Man ager Finney, of the company, went from here to Boston for the purpose of in- teresting eastern capital in the Lon don Arizona project. He did this in the face of the money stringency.
 Before leaving Phoenix, Finney said that he believed he could interest cap ital in a proposition with the merit of the London-Arizona in spite of the hard times throughout the country. He succeeded.
 The London-Arizona company owns the O'Carroll property in the Saddle mountain district. Mining men say it is one of the biggest in the southwest.

SUCCESSFUL RANCHER

He Is Great Believer in This
Section of Arizona for
Peach Growing
ACKNOWLEDGMENT

all - ~ ~ . 10 @ slissi ~i-iG
J. o. Main, one of Cochise eounty's
most successful ranchers, was in Bis
bee yesterday. He has a ranch about
six miles out Tombstone Canyon. OF
the 100 acres he owns, but a small
portion is under active cultivation, but
it is yielding rich returns. Main has
a great herd of hogs which run the
range and feed on the acorns in sea
son. He markets 100 springers q
month, gets fifty cents a dozen for his
eggs the. year round, and sells many
dozen a week.
Main took his place two years ago.
He is a great believer in this section
of Arizona as peach country. From
% trees last season he sold fruit for
$14S. This year he has some prize
fruit, load of which he disposed of
in Bisbee yesterday. On his ranch he
also has grapes, logan berries, blacA
and raspberries and cherries.
Several years ago Main and his wife
made an overland trip by wagon.
Starting from Globe, they went to
Salt Lake City. From there they
went to Vernal Valley. Utah; thence
to Rock Springs in the same state,
through the National park and then
to the Buffalo Hump country in Idaho.
There they sold out and Went to
Alaska. Returning to Seattle Main
was given up as a consumptive. He
came to southern Arizona, however,
and today is, as well man, he says,
as there is il the territory.

FATHER JOHNNY
JAMES VETERAN
SEVERAL WARS
Fought in Mexican and Civil
Wars, and Later indians
Lived 85 Years Without the
Care of Physician.

The death of j. S. James, father oil
J. H. James of this city, better known
as Johnny James, removed from &C
tiVity a character thoroughly identi
fed with the early days of the south
west, and a man who spent many
years of his life in fighting the bat
ties of his country.
At the time of his death in Sal
Jose, California, the deceased was
So years of age, and until three years
ago had never been under the care
of physician Even then he would
have remained without his services
had it not been for the insistance OF
his daughter, with whom he made his
home. &
J. S. James was native of Nash,
vile, Tenn, having been born there
in 1920. When the United States
went to war with Mexico he volun,
teereG his services and fought ali
through that war Later, when the
civil war broke out. he again tender.
ed his services to the federal govern,
ment and fought long and faithfully
for the cause of the union.
After the civil war had been con.
ciuded he came to the west, and was
for many years a freighter between
Leayenworth, Kansas, and Santa Fe,
New Mexico. II was on one of these
expeditions that he lost one of his
sons, Matt James, who was killed in
a battle with the Indians near Fort
Dodge, Kansas.
At various times James fought the
Comanches, the Cheyennes, the Da-
kotah's and the Apaches. When Cen
eral Custer met his death at the hands
of the Sioux, James was within twenty
miles of him. He had a love of ad.
venture and excitement that kept
him in the field wherever there was
danger and a chance for scrap with
the Indians.
James visited Tombstone before
there was really any Tombstone, the
sole places of habitation being a
couple of tents. He did not remain
in Cochise county long, however, but
spent most of the twenty years dur
ing which he was in Arizona in Globe.
He also spent several years at Pres
colt. In both these places he was a
teamster, although he had charge of
the stables of one of the big mining
companies in Globe for several years.
From Arizona the old soldier and
Indian fighter went to the Soldiers
Home in California, but life was too
peaceful for him there, and he spent
most of the time with his daughter,
Mrs. Lenore Tetrich, of San Jose,
who was with him at the time OF his
death.
The deceased was the father OF
thirteen children, of whom only FIVE
are alive: j. II. James OF this city,
who has been, in Cochise county for
nearly thirty years; 5. Il. James OF
Oklahoma; G.. Luther James. also OF
Oklahoma; Mrs. Caledons Vigor OF
Missouri: Mrs. Lenore Tetrich OF San
Jose, California The deceased is
also survived by twenty-five grand
children.

DOWNING WAS
WILLING To DIE
SAYS SHERIFF
Believes Outlaw Deliberately
Walked to His Death-Mc-
Ketrich of Wilcox Had Shot
gun for Outlaw.

Sheriff Jack White, who was in the
city yesterday, talked interestingly OF
the recent death of Bill Downing at
Wilcox. Among other things he stated
that had not Downing been killed by
Ranger Speed, he would probably have
been killed in a very short time, not
more than a few days at the most, by
George McKitrick, who has a saloon
in Wilcox
McKitrick had Downing fined on a
former occasion for allowing women
TO come into his saloon and drink
Later when Downing was said to have
beaten a Mexican woman with whom
he was living the woman went to Nc
Ktrick and asked him what to do. He
advised her to have complaint sworn
out against him, which she did. 1t
was while resisting arrest on this
charge that Downing was shot
Upon learning of the fact that Nc
kitrick was the man who had had
the warrant for his arrest served, he
swore that he would kill him. Nc
kitrick learned of this and went
armed with a double barrelled shot
gun loaded with buckshot. He was
laying for Downing in his house in
the dark when the latter came look
ing for him and the fact THAI Down
ing did not know which was his room
probably saved the latter's life
After the killing of Downing. McKit-
rick went behind the bar to let down
the hammers of the shot gun, which
he kept at full cock all the time. In
doing so he fired one OF the barrels
through the wall, whereupon some by
stander wanted to know if he were
nervous. MrKitTfck is a man of I'M
doubted courage, but he admitted that
he had stayed up all night watching
for Downing, whom he knew would kill
him at the first opportunity. MeKit-
rick is the man who put negro sol
der permanently out of business at
Fl. Dodge after the latter had the drop
on him.
Sheriff White is of the opinion that
Downing deliberately walked 20 mis-
death at the time he was SHOT, and
that he had made up his mind to that,
with the intention of getting as many
Of his enemies as he could before ne
casfed in The sheriff says that at
the time of his release from the Yuma
prison Downing was looking well and
was fun in the face. Not long after
ward he was thin, worried, despond-
ent and was drinking hard all the
time
According to the testimony of q
score or more OF people who saw the
death of Downing, he slowly and de-
Iliberately lowered his hands after
Ranger Speed had ordered him to
surrender, reaching at the same time
for his left nip pocket, for he was
left handed. He kept his hand on his
pocket and kept advancing, notwith-
standing the fact that Ranger Speed
begged him to put his hands up and
TO stop. as he did not want TO xiii
aim. He refused to obey and no al
tentative was left Speed but to shoot.

FOUND GOLD STAR
LOST SEVEN YEARS
Badge Lost at Yuma By Ex-
Sheriff Del Lewis Found
in Spittoon,

Officer Del Lewis of this city has
had returned to him a star which he
lost seven years ago when he was
sheriff of Cochise county The star
was of gold, a present to him from
Frank Murphy, who was at that time
sheriff of Pima county. Lewis made
a trip to Yuma in 1901, lost the star
there, and never saw it again until
it was given to him yesterday
The star simply stated Sheriff, Co
chise County" so that when it was
found in Los Angeles the other day
by Chief of Police Kern he forwarded
it to Sheriff Jack White White knew
of Lewis having lost the star, and yes
terday, to the unbounded astonish-
ment of the latter, presented it to
him. The star was taken from a Mex
lean in Los Angeles, who stated that
he had found il in sUttoon.
When Lewis lost the original he
had a duplicate made, which he has
faithfully preserved. When Sheriff
White presented him yesterday with
the original, he showed his apprecia-
ton by presenting White with the
duplicate, and the sheriff is now dis
playing gold star as the badge of
authority.
