AN ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK.

Hon. Hoval A. Smith, chairman of tho republican territorial central com mittee, was in Phoenix a few days since. He was direct from the headquarters at Bisbee, and reported splendid pro gress in the work of his office. Mir. Smith said: CT feel very gratified in- deed at tho present outlook for the election of Ralph Cameron. Sentiment throughout the territory is almost unanimous in favor of immediate state hood for Arizona, and the voters of both parties arc beginning to recognize the fact that the election of Cameron will mean the almost immediate real. ization of this boon which has been sought for, To, these many years. The detail organization of the republicans in the several counties has been care fully looked after, and I find enthusi, asm not only for the republican dele gate to congress, but for the republican tickets in their entirety. The situation in Cochise, Graham and Gila counties is especially promising and points to at least a year of large reduct tion in former democratic majorities, if not the carrying of these counties by Cameron.

GIRL RESCUED BY AN INDIAN
Homcsick Child Started to Walk Alone
 On the Prairie

SIOUX FALLS, s. D., October l6.-- Becoming homesick while visiting her grandparents, Mir. and Mrs. Frank Gin. lar, at Wagner, Charles Mix County, Mamie Olivia, the 7-year-old daughter of Mrs. Swatek, of Tyndall, quietly left Wagner and bravely started out to make the long walk to Tyndall so she could see her mother.
 When her absence was discovered her grandparents and the citizens of Wag- ner in general were greatly alarmed. She was last seen about the middle of the afternoon and when her absence was discovered search was immediate. ly commenced. The first searching par ties failing to find any trace of her, posses of Wagner men started out in various directions on horseback and in carriages, continuing the search throughout the night and until, the fol- lowing afternoon when the little wan derer was found at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Anton Kuca, about ten miles southeast of Wagner.
 It developed that the little girl had started out with the intention of walk ing to Tyndall, which is in an adjoin- ing county, but had been overtaken on the road by darkness. When every thing indicated that she would have to pass the night in the solitude of the prairie she was observed by an Indian, who took her to his home.
 Upon discovering that she could talk Bohemian he took her to the Kuca home where she was found the follow ing day by searching parties, as stated.
 The brave little girl was not alarmed to any extent by her experience. Her disappearance and the uncertainty as to her fate nearly cost the life of her grandfather He is victim of heart trouble, and the anxiety occasioned by the strange absence of the little girl brought on an attack of heart trouble which was of so serious a character that for some time he was in danger ous condition.

THE PROBATE JUDGE
 SHOULD BE A LAWYER

As to the question whether the pro bate judge should be lawyer, we would say that Judge Phillips, lawyer, has served the people of Maricopa cOun- ty several terms as probate judge, with satisfaction to it's citizens. The rcpub- lieans of Pima county this year have nominated as their candidate for pro bate judge Hon. w. F. Cooper lawyer. Mr. Cooper was the republican candi. date for delegate to congress two years ago. The county of Graham now has a miner occupying the office of probate judge. The term before the office was filled by Judge P. c. Little, lawyer, now of Globe This year the democracy of Graham placed in nomination for the office Hon. T. $. Bunch, lawyer. It seems that the miner was not satisfac- tory to the people of Graham on ac- count of not having legal education, and after one trial of the layman, went back to their time -honored custom of choosing one of the legal profession for this most important office. The repub licans of Gila fell into line and nom mated Tom Flannigan, lawyer, for pro bate judge. The voters of Gila will ratify the action at the polls on the 3rd of November next.

HEARS CALL, SHOOTS PARTNER
Hunter Mistakes Companions Marble
 for Real Gobbler

NEW ORLEANS, October l6.-When Stephen Coleman, while hunting in the woods on Honey Island, north of New Orleans, heard what he thought was the call of wild turkey gobbler, he flat. tened himself behind log, answered In a few minutes he heard slight noise in front of him, and thought the game was being attracted by his call, but could not, through the thick underbrush, locate the supposed gobbler, who was really John Bell, l6 years old, who had mistaken Coleman s call for . sure enough gobbler and was advancing eau tiously to get shot.
 Ignorant of the approach of the youthful hunter. Coleman raised up to get better look, and as he did so shook the brush in which he was hiding. Bell aimed at the spot and fired. A yell told Bell that he had shot his hunt ing partner, whom he supposed to be in another part of the woods, and he rushed to his assistance. Coleman s face was fearfully shot, and when Bell brought him to New Orleans for treat ment physicians said he had only a fighting chance for his life.
 Coleman generates Bell from all blame, saying that he changed his stand without notifying Bell, and says that he alone is responsible for the re- suit

TRUSTED B|SBEE DELIVERY MAN
 DISAPPEARS
EMPLOYER PUZZLED TO ACCOUNT FOR DISAPPEARANCE OF
 H. THURMAN, MONDAY

BISBEE, October 16.--H. Thurman, a deliveryman for the Cuban store, has been missing since 5:45 p. m. Monday. It seems that the man left the store with an order for groceries for John Miller of Dubaker Canyon. The fact of his failure to return, together with
 other contributory circumstances, caused the proprietor, John Wohlschle. gel, to suspect that all was not as it should be, and late that night Officers twomey, White and Johnson, were dis patched toward Lowell in search of the deliveryman. They found his horse and cart standing at street corner in John. son's addition, but of the man him self there remained no trace excepting his coat, which was lying on the seat. There have been to date no clues as to the suspected mans whereabouts, al. though telegrams have been flying, over the section and officers everywhere have been notified to be on the lookout for him.
 Speaking of the occurrence last night, MT. Wohlschlegel gave the following de- tails: "I sent MT. Thurman out with the single order for John Miller, ex- pecting him to return within a quarter of an hour. Half an hour afterwards the thirteen year old boy of Mrs. Hogan of the Royal Cafe,- came into the store, to pay, as he said, bill for his moth CT. I was puzzled by the fact that the statement the boy proffered was that of the Bisbee Commercial Company for $l35. The amount of our own state. ment should have been $l49. The boy insisted that his money was for the Gu ban store, and finally accepted it, tell ing him that I would gladly reetify any mistakes. A little later Mrs. Ho gan came into the store and informed me that she had that afternoon paid to my driver the correct amount of the bill $l39. She produced Thurman s re- ceipt. The circumstances, coupled with the drivers continued absence, of course aroused my keen suspicion, and I took the matter to the officers. Hur. ried investigation showed mo that Thur. man had also collected $i2 from Mrs. F. Wright of Dubaker Canyon, and SSi from Mrs. l.. Abbot, of Bisbee, making an aseertained total of nearly S200 collected that afternoon. This money, together with an unknown amount which further investigation alone can reveal, disappeared with the driver. The man attempted to collect $6S from Matt Bergler, but did not sue ceed.
 Thurman is married man of forty, and the father of three children. He has always enjoyed reputation for honesty and steadiness. A bit of weight is given to his wife s theory of his having met with foul play by the fact that his coat was found in the seat of the abandoned wagon. Thurman is described as a small man, dark complexioned, and weighing in the neighborhood of l30 pounds.
