AFTER LIL' A'THAR
Bobby Burns, Who Chews Up Six
 Shooters Would Clean Dinge

Dark meat is just to Bobbie's liking meaning Bobby Buns, not the poet. If you don't believe it pike this yowl from Seligman via Los Angeles. It went first to Los Angeles to "JeG. |" Here is the morsel:
 "Mr. ]. !. Jeffries, Los Angeles. Dear Sir-l am sorry to see champion. ship lost to negro, but we nave the only original Burns that can clean up all negroes on this continent, and Tommy Burns had no right to steal Bobby's name.
 ''So if we can arrange We will fight auy negro you have and will post s2000 side bet. We have to get those negroes where they belong. Bobby is doing 20 miles n day behind an auto, and ! can assure you he is in good con dtion. They have worked six-shoot CTS and baseball bats over his head. but he has never been knocked ont, always getting up and cleaning up these gunfghters until there is none left.
 "We consider the only way he can be put away is by being hit by pas. senger train, as he is too fast for freight. Now, we have the money 10 back our man against any negro, and as Bobby says Tommy stole his name lot nf I... the original Bobby Burns is still here and open for business. Reference: Willis Britt. He stopped here and sized Bobby up, and claims ne is the only one left to stop negroes.
 Hoping you give this your due consideration and wire here if you want good man to defend yonr title, because he is there with the goods.
 "l might also state Bobby cleaned up Special Officer at this point after being knocked down with six.snooter and slingshot, and was beat on head while he was down, until Special of. feer got tired, then Bobby in order to save bds life arose and cleaned Special Officer until his yclls woke up the neighborhood and separated Bobby. When Bobby was pulled away from Special Officer he was chewing the end of six.s shooter, trying to bite the end of it off. I can assure you we have the man here that is there with 
 the goods. Please keep it quiet and let ns know hat you can do.

SELlGMAN JUSTICE AWARDS CALVES
 7O TERRITORY
OFrom Saturdays Daliy)

Another chapter in the lives of the twenty seven calves branded in the ''Cross O. and wv triangle' brands seized by Cattle Inspector Holden on the Geronimo ranges in December, was opened yesterday in the ~cligman jus tice court, when Inc possession of the "dogic-' was awarded to the terri tory.
 The mothcrIess youngsters are now n possession of Minor owens and Elm net James. the owners of the brands with which they are decorated. Owens was awarded possession of the eleven "cross O's' by replcvin proceedings ia the Williams justice court and the sixteen w triangles" were returned to James in similar proceedings in the Flagstaff justice court.
 An appeal was taken from the judg. nent of the Williams and Flagstaff justice courts io the district court in Flagstaff.
 Attorney Russell. who represented tne territory in the eases, returned from Seligman last night. He stated that neither Owens nor James were represented in the Scligman justice court in yesterdays proceedings. He claims that the Seligman justice court has jurisdiction in the seizure eases by reason of being the nearest justice court to the place where the bovine or. phsns were seized, although Seligman Is in Yavapai county and the seizures were made on the wsllapai ranges of Coeonino county.
 Whether a justice of the peace has Jurisdiction outside of the county in which his precinct is located is a question that will probably be raised in further legal proceedings. Attor ney Russell says that the seligman justice court is the only one having jurisdiction in the seizure ease.

SEE STATEHOOD AHEAD
Speaker Cannon Will Allow Bills to
 Come Up Soon

WASHINGTON, Jan. li-The state hood outlook is more roseate than at any time since the beginning of the present session. The friends of New Mexico and Arizona have been work ing ceaselessly, with the resul; that the objections of those members who did not believe there was time enough for the consideration of the bills for admission, have been generally won over.
 Speaker Cannon said today that ne would give his consent for the state. hood bills to come before the house al the earliest possible moment and would facilitate action on them. The members of the house committee on territories say that the bills shall have prompt consideration there.
 The only apparent obstacle in tle way to admission now is an unexpect- cd one, but it is not discouragng. It is that the friends of President elect Taft wish that his administration should have the honor of seeing the last of the territories and they argue that the territories would lose little time in waiting until the extra ses sion. when, without doubt, the admis sion bills would pass. President Roo. sevelt is anxious that the bills pass before March |.
 The indications now favor statehood at the present session.

 of course this is all ancient history now. Mistah smith is President Smith now; Mistah Collins is vice president {; Mlstah Dimerary is secretary, Mistah Jones treasurer, and Mistah Massey director. The Manhattan Club is duly incorporated and Bill Young assisted at the ceremony yesterday though the articles of incorporation hand him the icy mitt. He holds no office.
 The objects of the new Manhattan elub-namod in honor of the justly famous eocktail-are many and varied. While it is allied in spirit with it's forerunner, the Yavapai Club, Mistan Smith wishes 1t understood that the older organization is no rock ribbed pattern for the young society. The aims of the Manhattan are broader and farther reaching; in addition to convivial cheer and social intercourse, it will advance thought and acquire social and business information and encourage literary pursuit. If you don't believe that you can look in the Articles of Incorporation.
 The club has great ambitions. It will acquire real property--meaning buildings for club rooms and library it will found
 The club is incorporated for $Io,o0O. The movement has the Afro. American population of Prescott all agog.

 The duty of all common earrers IS to exert themselves tO the utmost 10 serve the public n the transportation of commodities. And it is the Amer ican theory that they are bound to do .o ai the lowest rates which will re turn reasonable profit upon their m vestmcnt. IL is also the Ameriean theory. as embodied in the Sherman act. that carriers shall not be permit ted ,o engage in combinations with other carriers in restraint of trade.

II should make through rates which would fll it's ships, regardless of rates charged by transeoniinental lines and with no reference wnateveT 10 the rates of others. That was, perhaps, impossible for the Panama road 20 long as il was in private ownership, ; because the transcontinental lines could reduce rates to point which would soon bankrupt small private corporation. They would not try that with the United States government. They would meet government rates SO far as they could and make any prof, and when if got below that tney would lct inc government take the business. There is enough and more than enough for all to do, as was seen two years ago and will be seen again when traf. hc resumes full activity.
