RACE TRACK MAN IS
HELD UP AND ROBBED
Frederick stearns Of Arcadia, Accom-
panied by Woman, Encounters
Two Unmasked, Armed
Highwaymen

With a woman companion clinging to
his arm and terrorTtricken with fright,
Frederick Stearns. race track man
living at Arcadia, was held up by two
unmasked men at Second and Hope
streets, several blocks from the central
police station, and robbed OF $3.50 at
1890 o'clock last night.
Stearns and the woman. whose name
he refused to diyulge to the police, were
visiting friends near Second and Hope
streets. They left the house and had
reached the corner when two men, one
armed with a revolver, stepped in front
of them and commanded Stearns to
hold up his hands. The woman at
tempted to scream, but controlled her
desire to make an outcry when she was
warned by the larger of the two men
to keep quiet under penalty of being
shot.
The man with the revolver then
placed the weapon to Stearns' head and
the other searched him. taking wallet
containing $3.50 from an inside pocket.
The robbers then warned the victim
against making an cutlery or attempt
ing to follow them. and disappeared in
the darkness.
Stearns hurried to the police station
and told his story. Because of the
darkness. he said, he was unable to get
good look at the men. Officers were
sent to the scene, but were unable to
find any trace of the men.

ELECTION RESULTS
TO BE KNOWN EARLY
Returns VIII Be Received at City
Clerks Office and Last Precinct
Is Expected In by 10
O'Clock

Election returns will be received at
the city clerks Office in the city hall
tonight, and Chief Deputy Wilde, who
always handles these returns, estimates
that the last precinct will be in by 10
o'clock.
The ballots are small and easily
counted. Only two names appear,
Fred c. Wheeler, the Socialist candi-
dates, being the first on the ballot and
Alexander coming next. Following
Alexander's name is a third space left
blank for writing in the name Of a
candidate.
Wilde was kept busy pretty nearly all
day yesterday getting the voting para
phernalia out to the various precinct
polling places and satisfying the COM
plants of election officials who de-
manded more accommodations.
This election will be held under the
city ordinance providing for payment
of fee of only S. to election officials
and the same sum for rental of the
polling places. This brought few dis
gruntled property owners who have let
their barns and similar places for poll
ing places into the office of the city
clerk. They demanded the $40 fee,
which is the maximum sum fixed by
state law for general elections.
One such property owner, Mrs. b. La
Chappelle, fled petition addressed to
the city council asking that she be
paid $40 for the rental of her premises
at 2127 Downey avenue for the charter
amendment election held last month.
She alleges she made arrangements
with the election board for $40 and,
while she was paid IS, this amount, she
says, is not satisfactory to her. AS the
price paid her is the one fixed by law,
any arrangement she may have made
with the election board, which has no
jurisdiction, is not binding on the city,
according to the city attorney.

of the club, ]. w. Whitley, made the
announcement that the club was act
ing under orders from the Republican
machine and that those orders were
that members should vote for the So
cialist candidate for mayor, Fred C.
Wheeler.
The hall was crowded and division
of opinion Immediately made itself
manifest. Although, after much heated
discussion, it was made to appear that
the club would accept the mandate as
delivered to 1t through the president,
critical observers came to the conclu-
sion that the capacity of the presi-
dent to deliver the goods was more
than doubtful.
The club Endorsed Harper at the out
set of the campaign, but his retirement
and the revelations that accompanied
1t evidently had their effect, apart
from the fact that the members have
no Socialist Affiliations.

MORRISON IN LEAD
 FOR J. 5. ATTORNEY
Friends Of BiSbee Man Feel Sanguine Over Prospects
 of Appointment.

From reports coming from over the territory it looks now that ]. E. Mor- rison is well in the lead for the ap- pointment to the office of United States district attorney The work q the Bisbee attorney during the past campaign for the success of Ralph Cameron seems to have placed him so far in the lead that he at present has no active opposition.
 Word come in from Phoenix that he present incumbent of the United States attorneys ocffie. Joe Alexan- der. will not make the race, which practically leaves the way clear for Joseph E. Morrison. It is also stated that Morrison has the endorsement of the majority of the territorial Repub- lican committee. consisting of one from each county as well as the terri toFial cha rmaa and several of tke of ies holders. as well as the Republican leaders of Arizona It is understood that he has tae endorsement of Ralph Cameron, delegate to congress. and of George U. Young, the secretary of the territorial central committee.
 The only other name which has been mentioned is that of John Wright, of Tucson. who does not seem to be making q very active fight for the of fee. The friends of Morrison over the rr'tory are active in their effort fer his success, and feel that his ap- pointnent is practically assured.
