The fact that the Hill and Harri-

would seem to indicate peace rather
than war between the interests.

Where He Preached.
Expects to Have No Trouble in
Securing His Release.

Wichita, Kan, Aug 9-Hurried to
the county Jail at this place to avoid
violence was the unusual experience of
Rev. r. M Wimmel, until last May the
pastor of the Presbyterian church at
Derby. The cause of the disturbance
is said to have been statements made
by the Rev. Wimmel at the funeral Of
Miss lone Sawin, the 21-year-old
daughter of John Sawin of that place.
Miss Sawin was a member of church
of which Rev. Mr. Wimmel was pas
tor. He was not reelected when his
term was out four months ago. and for
this reason it is said that he and
several Of the Derby citizens are not
on good terms.
Trouble Started at a Funeral
After the funeral sermon had been
delivered by the Rev. Mr.. Miller of the
German Evangelical church, Rev. Mr..
Wimmel arose and asked to be allowed
to say a few words. He was asked if
the remarks were to be respectable
He replied that all would be in the
girls good name" He was allowed to
proceed.
After delivering an eulogy on the life
of the deceased he is said to have start
ed off on the theory that many people
do not die by the grace of God" as in
the death of Miss Sawin to an assas-
sination. This girl, he said, had not
lived her time out and the doctor
should have attended her more caG--
fully he believed.

Rev. Mr. Wimmel to cease his remarks.

him that several in the congregation
were crying.

 iThe originals of both of The Repub- lican's certificates are framed and hanging in plain view in the business office of The Republican, where all may see them at any time. The first certificate issued covered the term from October 1st, 1906 to March 31st, 1907 and showed daily average of 6236 As shown by the two certificates The Republicans advertisers have enjoyed an absolutely proven circulation of over 5000 for nearly three years. No other Arizona newspaper can even approach these figures. While the net increase in this time is not large it is considered satisfactory by the secretary of the association who in a recent letter to The Republican says. that a decrease would not be surprising in view of the panic conditions that prevailed during the latter part of 1907 and all of 1908 great many papers all over the

That the Tombstone Juru Wou|dFindVerdict fAcquittaI DISAGREEMENT PROBABLE The Case Submitted a Little

Bisbee, May 15.-(Special)-At II: 8 tonight, the fate of the alleged revo- lutiOnists, Magon, Villareal and Ri- vera, on trial at Tombstone for pro- noting an insurrection against friendly nation, was placed in the hands of the jury. The expectation that a hung jury will result is gen. eral.

will be sent to advertisers everywhere.
 In view of the many lying state ments published by an evening paper that The Republican did not submit to an examination this year we naturally feel rather proud of the above cer- tificate. The Republicans circulation books have always been and are now open to advertisers. In fact The Re publican is the only Phoenix news paper that makes it's circulation pub licly known and submits as proof the certificate of the only competent au- thOrity in the United States-the Asso- citation of American Advertisers. If others can supply such proof why do they not do it instead of inviting a local committee examination of their circulation accounts which are fixed before hand for the occasions. The Re publican does not play with loaded dice and ignores such foolishness. The examiners of the Association of Amer ican Advertisers know their business and understand how to get at the facts. It is to this association that The Republican submits it's case.

A [. s 4. TRAIN '
 LEFT THE TRACK
THE ENGINE ALONE REMAINED
 ON THE RAILS
Two Expected to Die and Many Others
 Seriously Injured.

Kansas City, May 1.-Two persons are expected to die and thirty-five others are more or less seriously in jured as a result of the local Chicago & Alton passenger train No. 14 being derailed two miles east of Odessa, Mo. today. Only the engine remained on the track. the tender, combination baggage and passenger car and two passenger coaches being derailed.
 The coupling of the rear coach broke and it rolled down the embank ment, turning completely over. It was in this car that the serious injuries occurred. and none of it's occupants escaped unhurt. Miss Jennie Donald son and Myrtle McNeel, both of Odes sa, are in a critical condition, and their recovery is doubtful Many of the others are bruised and internally injured. but physicians say they have an even chance to live.
 So far as an explanation of the wreck has been found. it has been learned that the front wheels of the tender were the first to leave the rails and ten trucks were thrown off by them. but an examination of the trucks shows nothing to indicate why the tender was derailed

Kelly lost the battle when Papke landed his first clean right and left to the jaw. He went to the floor for the count of nine and arose without suf- ficient vitality to resist the finishing punches
 Prior to this, Papke had shot a ter rife left hook which laid an inch long gash above Kelly's right eye. The blow was the opening wedge. Kelly to weaken and Papke, with out an instant's hesitation rushed him to the ropes. shooting left and rights into his mid-section. Kelly fell, face downward and was counted out by timekeeper Tasting.
 As referee Eddie Smith counted ten" Kelly struggled to raise himself on his elbows but the effort exhaust ed his last spark of vitality and he lurched back unconscious. Seconds carried him to his corner in a state of inconsistencies, while hundreds of spectators climbed into the ring to smother Papke with congratulations
 Papke's wonderful speed and strength was the feature of the brief contest. His taller opponent appeared weak and awkward by comparison with the Kewanee boy. At no stage did Kelly have a chance. About 5000 people saw the fight.

 The prosecution closed by introduce ing a quantity of dynamite, guns, cartridges. and documents captured by the Arizona Rangers in raid on the Douglas branch of the junta in Sep tember, 1906, prior to the proposed att tack on Mexican border towns. Flags bearing the words Liberty, Reform. Justice" were exhibited and also many papers and circulars seized al that time.
 The defense made no attempt to deny the existence of a liberal party and on the contrary introduced a copy of the Regeneration, the official organ of the party. It had lengthy proclamations and manifestos which were translated and read to the jury. A declaration of principles signed by the defendants when translated prov ed glowing with fervid appeals to the patriotism of Mexicans to strike for the political and industrial redemp- tion of the fatherland.

San Francisco, May 15.-One minute and thirty seconds of a scheduled forty-five round contest was sufficient to demonstrate that Hugo Kelly of Chicago was no match in speed or skill with Billy" Papke, the Illinois Thunderbolt At the end of this brief period after half a dozen short rallies, Papke stood unmarked, while Kelly lay unconscious in the center of the ring with a deep cut over his right eye and his chances for the middle weight championship had gone glim- mering.

Just as a comparison between The Republicans PROVEN AVERAGE CIRCULATION FOR FOURTEEN MONTHS OF 6434 and that of the other Phoenix paper which claims to have been examined at the time The Republican was, the following is sub mitted for what it is worth. It is taken from a letter which the Arizona Gazette has been indpstriOusly cir culating and purpOrts to be a quotation from the report on the circulation of that paper by the Association of Amer ican Advertisers. The average cir culation. paid and unpaid for the week ending March IS. 1909 was 45OO copies" :" So at last advertisers are informed that there is an evening paper in Phoenix with an AVERAGE ClRCU- LAYTON FOR ONE WEEK OF 45oo COPIES.
 There is not now and there never has been another newspaper in Phoenix or the territory of Arizona with anywhere near The Republicans proven circUla- tion. The other kind of circulation doesn't count.
