AMERICAN FLAG
1871 YEARS OLD
Yesterday Celebrated In Many
States As Flag Day-Some
Old History.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June To-
Thanks to the untiring efforts of the
American Flag association, and with
the cooperation or numerous other pa
triotic bodies today's celebration of
Flag day, commemorating the adopt
loon of the red, white and blue as the
national emblem, was more general
throughout the land than ever before.
Reports indicate that the idea has
now been adopted in nearly every
state and territory and has been car
ried by Americans to the islands be-
yond the seas.
The American flag is 131 years old.
and though it has been. slightly al
tered, the alteration represents only
the growth OF the institution for which
it stands. The first flag was made
by patriotic ladies' in Philadelphia. It
was a small affair, but represented
heavy cost, because the bunting came
from England, and just at that time
things British came high. This first
flag was flown by John Paul Jones,
the naval hero whose body was dis
covered in its obscure resting place
in France and returned to this coun-
try.
BY error the initial flag had
but twelve stars, but the man whom
the British dubbed "a pirate and a re
bel proudly informed congress that
the emblem at the peak of his war
ship, the Ranger" was received with
the most marked courtesies by the
French, whose formal recognition of
the new flag constituted the French
acknowledgement of the American re-
public.

NEW MINING ACT
IS NOW HELD UP
Obnoxious Measure In Mexico
With Anti-Foreign Clause
Goes Over for Time,

CITY OF MEXICO. June 15.-The
new mining measure containing the
much discussed anti-foreign clause
will not be presented to the national
congress for passage and may not be
acted on for several months. 1t is
measure action upon which comes
under the Jurisdiction of the president
iof me republic without consulting
the legislative branches of the gov
eminent Although as stated below
Minister Molina has invited adverse
criticism on the measure with assur-
ance that all objections viii be given
consideration, at The same time II
is said on good authority that the min
| lister still adheres to the arguments
which he advanced in favor of the
adoption of the anti-foreign clauses,
which were published in these col
umns several days ago. He viii sub
NIT these arguments, together with
the objections, to the regular cabinet
meetings for discussion and action.
| 1t is believed that the matter win be
in proper shape to present to the cab
met within a fortnight and that from
time to time it will be taken up FOR
consideration at the regular meetings
of the fun body during the next few
months. When the matter has been
thoroughly canvassed pro and con it
will be submitted to the chief execlh
tive for final disposition.
The president may, at his discre-
ton, accept and decree the whole as
an executive order, or may omit any
feature, the enforcement Of which
may not be deemed compatible with
public interest. At any rate, 1t Is not
believed that final action will be TAX
en- in the matter for many weeks 20
come, as the subject is one which will
require study.
The committee nas had but one In
terview with Minister Limantour, and
the head of the finance department
has given no decision as yet. What
action he win ultimately take In the
matter of the reduction of taxes or
suggesting changes in the manner of
their payment cannot be forecasted,
as no intimation has been given to
any member of the mining commits
sion.
II is understood that the mining
commission is combating tne argu-
ments advanced by the minister OF

Of great foreign companies and the
announcement Of laws by foreigners
in frontier states and territories, en-
courages crimes, especially when the

like" has gone. Where, is a ques-
ton few can answer The like" re-
ferred to is Ike Cooper, of consider
able notoriety in the courts of the city
during the past two weeks. and in
which he has nearly always got the
worst of it
Cooper has been in charge of one
OF the houses at the upper end of
Brewery Gulch. About three weeks
ago he was tried for being a vagrant,
and beat the case, although the evil
dence was strong against him.
This seemed to encourage Ike. and
soon afterward he paid for evidence
against his partner in a saloon in the
tenderioin, to whom he had sold out.
and had him arrested for violating
the territorial statute prohibiting the
sale of liquor in the same house where
women stayed. It was proved that the
two houses were separated buildings
and Ike had to pay his lawyer and the
costs of the suit, and as the trial was
by Jury there costs were considerable.
To cap the climax, Ike was arrested
for disturbing the peace, the complaint
having been sworn out by Ida Jacobs.
Again Ike said that he must have a
jury trial. This was last Saturday.
The jury brought in q verdict TO the
effect that Ike was a guilty man.
This again put the costs of the case
on Ike, and with his lawyers fee
made a total of over s45.
Justice Burdick. in whose court the
case was tried. said that be would
pass sentence the following Monday
morning. The fine would have been
at least SIS, and perhaps $50, but yes
terday Ike failed to show up. It is
thought that he has sought more con-
genial ciimes, and his presence viii
not be screly missed. He forfeited a
S25 bond and left his lawyer unpaid.

MAYHEM DIVORCE CASE
HAS BEEN SETTLED

PHOENIX. June 15.-with some
estimating the amount received by
Yrs. Mary Mayhem as high as $50 900,
and with the lawyers maintaining alb
solute siIencd on the subject, Felix
Mathew was awarded the decision by
Judge Kent in the district court Sat
urday afternoon in the proceedings
for divorce and division of his
s550.000 property brought by Mrs.
MAYHEM.
After three days of constant confer
ences. Attorney Alexander, represent
ing Mrs. Mayhem, and Attorneys Ives
and Edwards for Mayhem finally
reached a basis of settlement
In this settlement it was stipulated
that Mrs. Mayhem should receive a
large slice of Mayhew's property, in
consideration for which she would
consent to a decision denying her petit
ton for divorce and the division of
property.
Mrs. Mayhem sued for divorce on
the ground that she was the common
law wife of Mayhem by reason of a
marriage contracted without orthodox
or legal ceremony when Mayhem was
Pinal county cowboy and she was a
pretty young Mexican girl fifteen
years ago.
Attorney Alexander filed the com
plant in the district court at Yuma
where most of the proceedings were
heard by Judge Kent, who transferred
he matter here for the taking of fur
Their testimony
In the absence of any marriage GER
emory or contract, Attorney AIexand-
er showed that Mayhem had not lived
with the woman for a long perid of
years. but that he had addressed let
ters to her as Mrs. Mary MAYHEM, had
registered with her at hotels as his
wife, and had had her sign deeds and
other papers as his wife.
By compromising, Mayhem has es-
capped being charged with adultery
had the present case been decided in
favor OF Mrs. MAYHEM. Mayl,ews is
now married to another woman, and
had Mary Mahew been granted di-
vorce It would have established her
as his lawful wife when he entered
into the second marriage a short tine
ago at Yuma.

CITY WINS DECISION
| IN COUNTY COURT
City's Right to Bring Certain
Charges, Long Disputed,
Is Now Admitted.

Mayor Neale is very much elated
over a decision made in Judge Doan's
court at Tombstone by that Official
yesterday. Heretofore. according 10
the ruling OF the court, the city has
been unable to lawfully bring a charge
of yagrancy against a person, and in
case it was done and appeal taken
10 the county court, the case has lur
yariably been thrown out ON the
ground that under the city charter
such action was Illegal.
The case which came up yester-
day was that of Maxwell Smith. caarg-
ed with being vagrant Smith was
arrested last January by Deputy City
Marshal Frank Johnson and found
guilty by a jury in Justice Hogan
court. Appeal was taken to the
county court, and as George Neale
was attorney at taat time, he was
present in Tombstone yesterday to
represent the city.
A spirited argument ensued first
over whether the charge should be
elassed as a misdemeauor or a crime.
II was decided that the misdemsanor
charge was correct Next came the
question Of whether tae city was
without the bounds OF its charter
when it brought such charge. and over
this point quite a. legal battle was
fought Il was finally decided in ia
yor Of the city.
Tae case was lost by the city, so
far as verdict of guilty in the com
plant charged is concerned. but the
principal Involved is one which has
long been a subject of controversy be
tween the authorities of Bisbee and
those at Tombstone, and the courts
decision in favor OF the city is mat
ter for congratulation.

MULkEY DIED
FROM WOUNDS;
NEAL IS HELD
Latter Figured In Shooting
Scrape in SwiSSheIm Noun
, tains Number of Years Ago,
Having Narrow Escape.

George Mulkey, who was shot on
Friday evening by James 3. Neal at
the Westfall ranch. near Dragon
Summit died Saturday afternoon and
was buried in Benson Sunday. He
was conscious up to the time OF his
death, and gave dying statement to
the officials which will be used against
Neal when his case is called in the
district court Neal was to have his
preliminary examination before Judge
Page in WILCOX today, where a charge
of murder was placed against him on
Saturday. Mulkey leaves a wife and
three small children.
The recent shooting and subsequent
death of Mulkey at the hands of Neal,
recalls shooting scrape that happen
ed several years ago at the Leslie
ranch in the Swisshelm Mountains. in
which Neal was a party, but in that
instance was the man shot. Neal and
a woman were al the rancff>of Frank
Leslie. Leslie living with the woman,
auS Neal being employed there.
Leslie came home one night and
finding the parties together. drew his
six-shooter and shot the woman, kill
ing her almost instantly. and then
fired four shots into the body of Neal
and left him for dead. Leslie then
came into Tombstone and gave him
self uD. stating that he had killed the
two parties. but had done so in self
defense.
Had that been the fact he would
have ESCAPED being sent to Yuma, for
there would have been no one to dis
pute his story as there were no other
witnesses TO the shooting. But ne had
not killed Neal. Neal after being
unconscious for several hours after
he was shot. regained his senses and
crawled on his hands and knees a dis
lance of three miles to an adjoining
ranch where he was temporarily taken
care of until he could be brought to
town for medical treatment Leslie
was indicted and convicted of killing
the woman on the testimony given by
Neal. He served term of ten years.
Leslie was noted frontiersman and
army scout and had been in the west
for number of years. He is now in
Alaska.

The right of Mexico or any other

les operating properties should be or

Destroying the Trail.

That is what a great many people
do before they even think Of blood
hounds. They are thoughtless to do
1t, and, when they do. it renders
bloodhounds incapable of running
down burglars, murderers and other
criminals.
Recently this fact has been fire.
quently demonstrated, the hounds
fail and then the wall goes up that
they are no good. Most times a
hunt is made for the burglars before
the hounds are sent for. When they
get there there are so many tracks
of others than the burglars that the
hounds are confused. They have no
way of knowing just what trail to
take, and sometimes get on one which
has been made by Che burglar-hunt-
ers themselves.
There is more than possibility
that the Morrison hounds, as good
as there are in the country. trailed
the would-be murderer's chasers at
Wilsonburg rather than the man him
self. AS the result there was no
success in running the man down.
and the efforts of the posse were
useless and wasted.
The Telegram kindly suggests
that in case of burglary, murder or
other crime 1t be decided to
once whether bloodhounds are to be
commissioned in the case, and, II so,
have them as soon as possible and
be careful not to destroy the trail
by trying to do the part the hounds
should and would do, If given the
right chance.
Try this plan and see If it will not
prove effective in apprehending
criminals.

ANY ONE CAN MIX
THIS RECIPE At home
Fine Prescription to Relicv Rheuma-
tism and Kidney Trouble.

A leading New York health publ
cation tells its readers of a number Of
Of simple prescription that can be
simple and safe prescriptions
that can be made at home.
The following, however. for
the cure OF rheumatism and
kidney and bladder trouble re-
ceives the greatest praise, viz, Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce,
Compound Kargon, one ounce, Com
pound Syrup sarsaparilla three
ounces. These simple Harmless in
gradients can be obtained at any
good prescription pharmacy at little
cost and are mixed by shaking we'll
in a bottle.
The dose for adults is teaspoon
full after each meal and at bedtime,
drinking fun tumbler full of water
after each dose. It is further stated
that this prescription is positive
remedy for kidney trouble and lame
back, weak bladder and urinary diff
ficultles, especially of the elderly
people, and one of the best things to
be used in rheumatic Affections, re-
lieving the aches and pains and re-
ducing swellings.
A well known local druggist states
that the mixture acts directly upon
the eliminative tissues of the kid
neys: cleanses these spongelike or
gans and gives the power to sift and
strain the poisonous waste matter
and uric acid from the blood which
is the cause of rheumatism.
Cut this out and hand to some suf-
ferer which would certainly be an
act of humanity.
