FIRED AT RANDOM
 WITH 4 SHOT GUN HIT A LOAD OF HAY EALING
 HANDS The Marksmanship of Joe Hazelhurst to Be Investigated.

A man by the name Of Arnold called at the sheriffs office to com plain that he had been pretty badly shot up the night before by a man to him unknown, except that he was the custodian of an orange grove on the Bartlett Heard ranch south of the river. Arnold wished to make complaint, not only for himself, but also in behalf of a wagon load of other men similarly situated. All were members of Henry Sandoz's hay baling outfit, which was then at the Heard ranch, but he added that there had not been much hay baled yesterday morning, as the hands were busily engaged in picking shot out of themselves and each other.
 Arnold said that the party had been at Tempe on Sunday and were returning late at night, and as they were passing the tent of the orange grove custodian they were welcomed with a salute which they thought at first was the formal ushering in of Flag Day. But then every man felt a stinging sensation somewhere about his person and they knew or felt very sure that that had nothing to do with Flag Day.
 Arnold wanted to know If hay balers had no rights which orange grove guardians were bound to re- spect. and if there was no recourse for the loss of time that had been occasioned by the necessity of pick ing shot out of themselves.
 Inquiry was made by the sherifrs office and it was learned that the name of the watchful custodian was Joe Hazelhurst. Deputy Sheriff Adams went across the river to see him about it and returned with him. Hazelhurst was sorry to hear that anybody had been hurt by ,he fusillade. He said that his ten; is not far from the road side and that he had been annoyed by night riders for a long time throwing things at his tent and yelling at him to come out.
 On Sunday night the same thing happened again and he came Ort with his shot gun. He said that he shot at no one in particular. He aimed at random and fired into the It happened that that wagon load of hay balers was in l the atmosphere.

THE RED PICACHO
 PROMISING SECTION CAPTAIN EVANS ARRIVES FROM
 THAT SECTION. He Speaks of His Own, the Ocotilla,
 and Other Groups.

Capt J. G. Evans, president and gen. eral manager of the Ocotilla Mining and Development company. has just returned from the company's property where he has been experimenting the work for some time past. and brought with him some very fine ore which was taken from the bottom of the present workings. When asked for an interview the captain expressed him. self very freely about the mineral sit uation in the Red Picacho mining dis trict giving it as his opinion that this district would in the near future prove one of the biggest producers of gold silver and copper in all Arizona He has made a very careful study of this entire section for a number Of years and says if there are not some big producing mines to be found in that district there have been some great mistakes made in the surface shoWings It is his opinion that there are no bet ter surface indications of large depos- it's of mineral to be found anywhere in Arizona's mining section There are many very promising properties to be found in this district, many of which now approximate to mines
 Among these are the Arizona Yer mont group. the Humphry group. the Rio Tonto. the Hercules, the Lewis group and number of others equally as promising. Those named are all within radius of five miles of the Ocotilla group and promise the very best results under proper management. Several of these have much ore eX- posed.
 Just here the reporter suggested to the captain to tell something about his own property. He said he did not care to tell about himself or the company's property. more than to say that for some time past the wolf has been hanging about the kitchen door. but of late, since the ore dump has been piling uo. he had moved on. When asked what kind of ore he was produc- ng, he said it is common saving among miners that there are but two kinds of ore in a vein; one is a waste and the other ore, and that just now he was handling very much or the lat ter. Values are mostly in copper, some gold and silver The captain would
 
 but he seemed to have the aim of one who Is very sure he has mine Work will be continued on this property in moderate way through the summer, and when cool weather comes there will be something doing sure enough. When asked as to the exact location of this property. the captain said it is forty-five miles westerly from Phoe- nix in Maricopa county, and about six miles northeast from Hot Springs Junction. Phoenix is the nearest and best supply point for this property.
 Phoenix people might do well to con slider the advantages to be gained by developing this section with such great mineral promise. and get in and help the boys make some mines up there. It would be as bread cast upon the waters to them.

MIR. BOUCHER REPLIES
 TO MR. GILL
Calls Attention Again to Circular Sent
 Ont in His Interest by His Friends

To the Editor of the Farmer. Sir Believing that the truth will hurt no one. I request that you print in full the circular sent herewith which MT. Gill takes so much space to discredit and wish to most emphatically declare true record of the facts of the case. Thanking you in advances remain,
 ReSpt. yours,
 STEPHEN F. BOUCHER.
 The circular which MT. Boucher's friends have sent out, follows:
 "We herewith take the liberty to send this communication in relation to the Democratic primaries to be held Friday. Octooer 22, 1909, at No. 621 Ogden street, corner of Pembroke, from to D. m. Knowing that you as a Democrat must be a believer in fair play, we will submit few facts for your consisiera tion. Two years ago, immediately after the Democratic primaries, the name of Stephen Bouch- CT was advanced for the nomination for city clerk. and, in truth d sufficient number of delegatGs, were pledged tu him to guarantee his nomination. but 1t was argued by many. and partscu- larly by the friends of MT. Bucking- ham, that it would be unfair to dis place him from the ticket. and it was also pointed out that it would be detri- mental to the whole ticket to do SO MT. Boucher listened to such reason- Ing ana grac1ouSly withdrew his name for further consideration and seconded MT. Buckingham's nomination. himself It was generally conceded, and yir- tually understood at that .tinae,s that in the event of MT. Buckingham being named two years hence for mayor, that Mr. Boucher would have little or no opposition to succeed him as the nominee for city clerk. Such is not the. case. far from it. MT. Gill. who was appointed assistant city clerk al that time, even in preference to MT Boucher. not only lays claim to ths nomination for, city clerk but has. aiso assumed an attitude so unreasona ble refusing to compromise or in any way consider MT. Boucher, that we whose names are herewith enclosed deem il for the best interest of the Democratic party to work for and nominate the ticket which will be the strongest. an6 we therefore request your support at the primaries so that we will be able to attend the Democratic convention and place in nomination the names o1 Edward T. Buckingham for mayor an6 stephen F. Boucher for city clerk. 2 ticket which will surely win in No vember.
 Yours Respectfully,

PRAISE
 SHERIFF HAMILTON

ARE SORRY HE WAS LEFT OFF
 REPUBLICAN TICKET TO MAKE
 PLACE FOR JOSEPH KALAFUS.
 There were scores of attorneys about the city yesterday who were indignant when they heard of, the turning down of City Sheriff Thomas F. Hamilton, by the Republican, convention for Jos. Kalafus, a resident of the East Side, who believed that he should have some recognition from his party.
 A prominent lawyer said this morn ing, q ann unable to learn that there was a single sound political reason why Sheriff Hamilton should, have been turned down. But the attorneys are not interested in the political end of the matter, but in the business end. Hamilton was one of the best civil officers in the state. It is a more diff ficu1t matter to be a good sheriff than a good lawyer A little mistake here and there. means the upsett1ng or many case. Sheriff Hhamilton did the work for most of the banks in the city as well as the work for w. H. Kel- sey, one of the largest real estate at torneys in the county. It means much to the people, who are clients, as we'll as to the lawyers, that men of Hamiltons ability shall be maintain ed in office. Of course the lawyers will stand back of the sheriff and will insist that he either be given a place on the ticket or that he be appointed deputy sheriff. It is understood that Kalafus, does not care for the job as long as he gets something in it's place. He would like to be a let ter carrier better than anything else, but it happens that they are not nom- ina ting letter carriers in the city con- ventton.''
 Sheriff Hamilton told a Farmer re- porter yesterday afternoon that he did not care to discuss the matter except to say that the pleasant part is to find that he has so many friends. He would also state he, said that the action of the convention was a sur prise to him. Hamilton has been a city sheriff for 16 years. It is said that the nomination of Kalafus is made to attract new element in the voting population.

Voting Machines Costly

transfer made by the board of Sinance at it's session last night shows now much it cost the city of New Haven to use the voting machines this year. This cost of course can be fgur- ed as higher than it will be in years fo come as a large amount was ex- pended on the work of demonstrat- ing the machines. The sum of $13,7S2 was appropriated for election expenses this year and the general registrars believe they could have lived inside fhea appropriation but for the extras reouired by introducing the voting machines. Last night transfer Of $1,5d12O was made from the interest account of the city to the election &C., count to make up what had been ex- pended over the amount appropriated which represents the increase caused by the voting machines and the dem pnstration of them which was neces- eary this year.

JACKSON'S
DE WOLF HOPPER.

Augustus Thomas was talking the other day about what a lovable char acter is De Wolf Hopper, who will appear at Jackson's this evening in Ido1.' Will Hopper said MT Thom- as, all of his intimate friends call .fMr. Hopper, "Will,,' "is one of the most versatile and interesting men on the American stage and in addition to that is one of the most lovable. Think what an interesting career Hopper has had and of the many things that he can do better than anybody else. In the first place he is perfectly fitted to sing grand opera as he spent years studying music and cultivating his voice and was in fact the leading basso in Grace church for long time. Then he certainly is the most com polling figure on the comic opera stage and what other man in the country is there who could have played Mark Anthony with the sincerity, with the voice and physique that he has dur ing the recent Lambs Gambol? AS an after -dfffz4erssspea .doennotsd know of any man who is more witty and more at ease. Hopper has studied law, is interested in foreign literature, good care of himself and in addition to that is liked by everybody
 THIS WOMAN, AND THIS MAN.
 .HThis Woman and This Man., which comes to Jackson's tomorrow mati- nee, and night is a play wrote crit icl fresh from it's first performance in Philadelphia "that will help girls to be good by teaching them the folly of loving too well and not wisely; that will make men better by showing them the implicit trust of a guileless heart'' and the writer only voiced the senti- ment of practically everyone who has seen the play. So simple, so natural Ia drama so perfect a picture of real life has not been presented. on the stage in very long time and no play wright has ever more skillfully com bined the humor and pathos of ac- tual human exist tence. The ingenu- ous, self-sacrificing little heroine, so cleverly impersonated by Minnie Vic torson is a creature of real flesh and blood, a being so thoroughly alive, so lovable, that no playgoer however blase he may be can see her and not feel that he is better man for having seen her.
