Bob Stewart Killed Me-, Wrote AL. Daqqs
 In His Dying Hour
: Men Accused of Murder of Daggs and Hunter Are In Custody and Were to Have Examination Su- periOr Last Night.

The chief material facts in connec- ton with the murder of A J. Daggs and George Hunter. near Superior on New Years day or the night before. developing yesterday. and that should be added to the recital of the incident in yesterday mornings Republican. are that the body Of Hunter has been found: the crime has been laid at the door of Robert G. Stewart and Ed Fondren with strong evidence against them; and that the two accused men are now in custody.
 Several minor facts of important de- tail were also developed. District At tOrney O'Connor of Pinal county and Sheriff McGee were at Superior yes terday. where Stewart and Fondren were arrested and where they were tO be given a preliminary examination last night and whence if they are held to the grand jury they will be taken 10 the county jail in Florence this morning. No communication can be had with Superior after the early hours of evening.
 F. E. Daggs. Deputy Sheriff Jeff Adams and a chauffeur left yesterday morning early in an automobile for Superior.
 BRINGING IN THE DEAD.
 Before leaving F. F. Daggs ar ranged with Mohn & Driscon. under takers. to send a man to Superior 10 take charge of the bodies. George Driscon left yesterday on the morning train for Mesa City on that mission. Last night when the message from Deputy Sheriff Price was received. concerning the undertakers. (mention- ed later in this article). the office rep resentative of the undertakers tele- phoned to Desert Wells the first sta tion beyond Mesa City and Superior having communication by wire. Go en- quire if there were any news of the automobile. The reply was that R. F.. Daggs and companions. had just pass ed Desert Station with the body of A. J. Daggs and expected to be in Mesa City about midnight. Another repre- sentative of the undertakers therefore left at once for Mesa City to take charge of the body. In the meantime Mir. Driscoll has presumably passed R F. Daggs on the desert. as the roads are many and devious. and is now in Superior. in charge of the body of George Hunter, or oI the way back with it.
 DISCOVERY OF THE TRAGEDY.
 Information from Florence yester- day was that the first news of the tragedy which was received at The Republican office was sent by tele- phone by a man named Vorhees at Superior, immediately after the find ing of A I DagrS tO Sheriff. Mctiee of Florence. and as related in this pa per yesterday was by the sheriff for warded to P. P DagGs of Tempe Sheriff McGee left at once for Supe- rior and the district attorney either went with him or left Florence yester- day after another message from Shcr- If McGee.

A GERMAN CAPTAIN
 KILLS BROTHER OFFICER
A Christmas Day Tragedy in Which
 the Wife of the Victim Is Involved.

Allenstein. East Prussia. Jan. 2.- Captain von Goeben of the army has confessed that he killed Major von Schoenbeck. brother officer on Christmas day. after he had ''- with the major and his wife in their house. After saying good night. the captain pretended to leave the house. but instead he stole up to the majors room. where he put on a mask.
 The major followed and hearing a suspicious rustic in the darkness call ed. Who is there2" von Goeben re- sponded. "I want to speak with you Von Schoebeck did not reply but drew revolver and endeavored to shoot but his cartridge missed fire. Non Goeben drew a revolver and shot the major and left the house by means of a key previously given him by Mr< von Schoenbeck. IL is evident that von Goeben in his incomplete confess sion is endeavoring to shiod the wifi. of the major with whom it is alleged he conspired to kill her husband.

THE BUCKEYE
 CONTEST ON Taft Men Score In Con-
 mittee Meeting
The Primaries Will BeHeld Feb. II, The Convention March 3.

Columbus. Jan. 2.-The republicans of Ohio will be given an opportunity to express by direct vote their choice for the party's candidate for the pres idency at the primaries to be held on February II. when delegates and all ternates to the republican state con vention will be selected. The conven- ton will be held at Columbus. on March and 4 and will select, in ad- dition to four delegates at la<ge to the republican national convention, candi- dates for governor and other state of ficers.
 The call for the primaries and con- vention was adopted after a protract- cd and lively session. the friends of Taft casting IA votes to by the sup pOrters Of Foraker. The vote stood 1i to on every proposition which re- quired a roll call. except for the selec- tion of temporary chairman of the convention. J. R. Garfield received 13 votes to s for Harry NJ. Daugherty of Columbus. The state committee de- cided that it had nothing to do with the selection of national delegates in the congressional districts and declin- ed to make any suggestion in regard thereto. Several amendments to the call were proposed by the friends of foraker, but in each case they were voted down. The chief fight was made against the direct primary plan for the selection of delegates to the state con vCntion.
 Senator Charles Dick was here to look after the interests Of Senator Foraker. but he did not go to the Neal House. where the committee held its session. After the state committee had concluded its work. Dick declined to make any comment upon it.

 In view of the fact that the prince has decided to pursue the matter i'm the courts, the idea of a duel seems precluded, besides.

came from the Florence Consolidated O. The body of A. J. Daggs was found on the trail not far from the Calumet Consolidated camp. or better described, the Daggs camp. where some preparations for breaking camp had been made. A short distance from the dead man, was found the dead body of his horse and in the trail not far from the dead man lay his pocket book in which was found a note in his handwriting bearing the four words Bob Stewart killed me" About two hundred yards away. was found the body of George Hunter and some where in the vicinity the carcasses of Hunters two dogs There has been no definite description of the wounds of the dead man, to indicate the prob able actions of either themselves or their assailants. but from what has been learned it seems apparent they were fired on from ambush and cut down with not even a chance to fight. though Daggs evidently lived long enough to write the note. It has been suggested by some that it is hardly natural for a man mortally wounded. to take out note book and write such a message as was found. That might be true in the case of the average man, but A J. Daggs was not an av- craze man. He had trained legal mind. a strong body and an indom- itable will. Moreover he was known to be quite fearless and of a vengeful disposition. one whose impulses when he felt aggrieVed. were to insure the punishment of the offenders. ReaIiz- ing that death was upon him his first thought doubtless was the punishment of his shaver and he did all he could to insure it, leaving the most direct evidence within his power. Of his dy- ing belief in the identity of his as sailant
 EXAMINATION OF THE ACCUSED.
 The latest message received last evening from Florence came from Deputy Sheriff Price who said that R. F. Daggs and Deputy Sheriff Adams of Phoenix would start for home to- night. taking the bodies of the two dead men with them Mr. Daggs re- quested that Nohn & Driscoll. under takers. meet them this morning at Mesa City. Deputy Sheriff Price also said that the inquest was held yester- day in Superior and that the prelim- mary examination of the two accused men. would be held in Superior. From the facts as reported in Phoenix there can be small doubt that Stewart and FOHdren will be held to answer \ further statement bv Mr Price was that he had formed the impression from wha. he had heard. that Hunter was shot in the back That is the only report heard concerning the ua- ture of the wounds or the assault and that is vet only conjecture.
 Many were seen yesterday who said they had Knowledge of the fact oi a long standing controversy between A J. Daggs and his associates. and Stewart and Fondren and their asso- ciates. Many recall that their trouble or part of it concerning the owner ship of certain property in connection

Mr.. Sherman addressed a large
meeting of colored men while in
Chicago, and the effects Of this have
been seen in the reports from the
headquarters of the negro voters.
There is little doubt, in the opinion
o. leading men of the race, that the
negroes will stand by the Republican
party this year.
Next House Will Be Republican
The organization Of the railroad
men in the interests of Taft and
Sherman has taken on a national
scope. The headquarters for the
Western states is Chicago, while the
East is taken care of from New York.
This organization has on it's mailing
list 100000 active, working rail-
road men in all parts of the country.
This most intelligent labor vote is
strong for Taft.
William B. Mckinley, chairman OF
the Republican congressional COM
mittee, reports that there is no doubt
that the next house will be Repub-
lican, although he is not willing to
state just how many districts will be
carried. The whole country is re-
spending, he said to the appeal Of
President Roosevelt to send Republic
can representatives to Washington
in order to give Mr.. Taft the sup
pert he must nave to carry in the
Roosevelt policies, to which he has
pledged himself.
This campaign has been run on
lines that differ materially from
the conduct of previous campaigns.
All the red fire. work has been left
for this month. A great deal OF
work has been carried on up to this
time however, but it is not the kind
the people can see. The rural free
delivery, for one thing. has braught
the farmer within closer touch or
the mailing department Of national
headquarters and the newspaper in
fuence.

count on at least 5000 of these
votes. The independent oil interests
which supported the Democratic
ticket last year, are now out for
Taft and Sherman. The business in
terests have revolted against the
wild legislation of the Democratic
legislature. The immigration into
the state has been from Republican
agricultural states. The expose of
Governor Haskell has been the great
est Republican asset of the year.
Kansas Safely Republican.
Well informed men in Kansas re-
port that state is safe for Taft by at
least 80, 900 majority.
The events of the last few days
which have worked towards bring
ing this situation about have been
the stumping trip of Mr. Taft, the
sending of three of the nations best
speakers into the front of battle, and
the Roosevelt Haskell-Bryan con-
troversy. From all parts of these
Western states come reports showing
that the presidents attack on Has
kell and Bryan has aroused the vot-
ers as nothing else has done since
the campaign started. And it has
aroused them in the right direction
BIZ van and Haskell.
The Haskell expose has thrown
light on Mr.. Bryan's character. AS
it has been pointed out in various
newspapers, if Mr.. Bryan knew Of
Mr.. Haskells sins and condoned
them, he was as guilty as the Okla
homa governor. If he did not know
of them he showed a lack of ability
to judge men that would promise i'll
in his selection of a cabinet and
government officials.
For nearly three months next to
Mr.. Bryan Governor Haskell has
epitomized and typified nhis per-
son and views the Democratic party
He was the father of the bank depos-
it guarantee plan, the chief railor
against predatory wealth, the back
er of Gompers, the chief standard
bearer with Bryan of the slogan LET
the People Rule"
Mr.. Bryan has not repudiated Mr..
Haskell publicly, but the governor
has resigned as a matter Of expedi-
ency. With is resignation comes no
assurance that the Democratic par
ty repudiates what he has accomp--
lished for 1t in material way dur
ing the three months of treasurer
ship and collectorship. 1t has been
cause of inquiry how and from
what source the Democratic cam
paign has been financed. With the
connection between the ex-treasurer
Of the national committee and the
Standard Oil company established
positively, this no longer is a cause
for wondermen and the vigor and
activity of the Democratic campaign
which has been run without heed to
expense, now is fully understood.
West for Taft end Sherman.
Gov. Hughes of New York, James
S. Sherman, vice-presidential candi-
date, and Senator Albert j. Bever-
idge of Indiana, have started out on
the task of bringing in te West for
Taft. Mr.. Taft himself has accom-
plished great things. In Chicago,
for example, he addressed a large
audience of railroad men on his own
record as a Judge in injunction cases
and other Disputes. He took the po-
sition that what he decided was law
and justice, and that he had no ap-
ology to make for 1t. The effect Of
his attitude in this was to win over
thousands of laboring men who had
been listening to Gompers' call to
vote for Mr.. Bryan's promises.

Idaho 10000 to $4,000.
Colorado 5000 to $1,000
Montana $500 to 5000.
Wyoming 5000 to 10000.
AS samples of the sentiments Of
the various leaders these views are
value:
What Some Leaders Think.
Gov. A. B. Cummins OF Iowa:
There can be no doubt of the
result in Iowa. l give Taft not less
than $4,000 majority.
While there are differences
among the Republicans of Iowa on
state matters, they are united in the
support of the Taft ticket"
Fletcher Maddox, former state
chairman of Montana:
Montana will go Republican by
5000 votes. We have strong labor
man on the ticket for governor and
the miner vote is large. Bryan's
strength is falling way fast"
j. A. Van Orsdel, associate justice
OF the court Of appeals of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, and former state
chairman of Wyoming, who has just
returned from a vacation through
Wyoming, Nebraska and Colorado:
while the Republican majority
in Wyoming will not be as large as
that Mr.. Roosevelt received, Mr..
Taft is safe by at least 5000 votes.
A month ago Mr.. Bryan might have
carried Nebraska. The conditions
which made that possible. however,
have changed and are rapidly chang
ing. I asked an old farmer in a
Nebraska hotel the other day how he
was going to vote. He said that he
had voted for Bryan twice, but that
he would not do it again. as Bryan
had lied in predicting disaster in
1896. This farmer is one Of a large
class what has grown prosperous
since that time. Bryan never has
been able to reach the well-to-d
farmer vote. They are afraid of him
still"
Colorado and Wisconsin.
Franklin. f. Brooks Of Colorado
Springs, former representative-at-
large from Colorado, said:
"There is great deal of interest
in the Taft visit to my state. The
campaign is livening up out there,
and the organization feels confident
that the national ticket will win.
The Populist and the Socialist vote
probably will be swung by the
Hearst ticket There has been
large influx Of Republican farmers
into Colorado from Iowa. Kansas
and Nebraska, and this will show on
the Republican side OF the returns"
The Wisconsin situation has been
cleared by the visit of Mr.. Taft and
the support Of the LaFollette
branch OF the party.
James H. Davidson Of Oshkosh,
representative in congress from the
Eighth district of that state said:
Il am satisfied that with the en-
ergentic work and full poll of our
vote, Mr.. Taft will carry the state
by a normal Republican majority"
A Voice from Oklahoma.
One OF the most surprising predic-
tions comes from James H. Harris,
a prominent Republican from Okla
homa, who said:
Il look for majority Of 10000
for Mr.. Taft in Oklahoma. The Pc
culiar conditions in the election last
year led us to the conclusion that
the Democratic victory was brought
about because more than 100, 900 Re-
publicans stayed at home. Also
many Republican voted the Demo-
cratic ticket in the fall because Of
fhnie doSiso 10. L.. H.
