 The board of equalization meets Monday next to complete the work of equalizing taxes and fixing the levy. The territorial board recently made the levy for territorial purposes 75 cents on the l0O$, the same as that of last year. It is probable that the board will also make the levy the same as last year, more road and school money being necessary, while the larger assessment will give plenty of money for other purposes at lesser levy.

 This week we present the announce ment of c. G. Krook as canidate for the office of District Attorney before the democratic county convention. Mir. Krook served Mohave county in the last legislative assembly with credit and has been one of the desir- able citizens of the county for a num- Der of years. He is learned in the law, having been admitted to practice before the supreme court of the territory. If elected to the office to which he aspires he will give the people an honest and clean adminis- tration.
 An effort is being made for the re- lease of Charles Bly from the New Mexican penitentary. Ely, whose true name is Frank Sherlock, escaped from New Mexicos penal institution about eleven years ago, having been sent up from one of the counties of that territory for stealing. He lived in Mohave county the past ten years, and was only captured few weeks ago. It is thought that the punishment he suffered all the years he has been at liberty will have been far greater than had he served the few years of sen- tence in the pen. It is said by those who know him that he appeared to he always in dread of some impending calamity and always slept with gun beside his bed.
