FORMER ROUGH RIDER
 ID BE INDIAN AGENT

been accepted at Washington, to go
 into effect on September 30.
 In place of the post which he
 now holds MT. Daniels has been ap-
 pointed agent of the Menominee In-
 dians, whose reservation is in Wis
 eonsin. This tribe is composed of over 1,300 Indians, and Mir. Daniels
 new post carries with it a salary approximately the same as that which he now draws as United States marshal of the territory of Arizona.
 It is also announced positively that MT. Daniels will be succeeded in the office of United Staes mar shal by c. A. Overlook, the wealthy mining man and banker of Douglas. President Taft is expected to send MT. OverlOck's name to the senate for confirmation this week.
 Whether or not MT. Overlook will continue the headquarters of the United States marshall s office in Tue son is doubtful. The marshal has the privilege of selecting what city he chOses as his headquarters.
 The resignation of MT. Daniels and the appointment of Mr Overlook will create a sensation in political circles in Arizona, although early last winter it was intimated that such change was brewing. How ever, nothing seemed to come of it at the time.
 About three weeks ago Marshal Daniels was' summoned to Washing ton by telegram. When he arrived there he was informed that his res. ignatiOn as marshal was desired, but that another good place had been provided for him as agent for the MenOminee Indians in Wisconsin. The change was purely a political one coming in the footsteps of the change from the Roosevelt to tho Taft administration. MT. Daniels had been a member of the Rough Riders under President Roosevelt and was purely a personal appointee of Roosevelt. With the passing of Roosevelt naturally came the pass ing of Daniels as marshal.
 With the matter put straight up to him at the White Hou&, Mir. Daniels resigned the marshalship, and accepted the new post of In dian agent which was-offered him.
 The post of United States marshal carries a salary of $4,5OO a year. MT. Daniels new post brings about the same amount.
 Mir. Overlook, who will be the next United Staes marshal, undoubt edly largely owes his appointment to the activities in his behalf of Ter ritorial Chairman Hoval A. Smith. | MT. Smith, Delegate Cameron and other political big guns of the ter ritry have been very active in their support of MT. Overlook for the of flee. It is undoubtedly due to their representations at Washington that Overlook wins the appointment.
 Well informed circles say that there will be one other important political change in the next few weeks. It is stated on excellent au- thority that United States Attorney Alexander is, about to resign, to be succeeded by Attorney Joseph Nor risOn of Bisbee. The same influences to which the change in the marshaI's | office is attributed will also be be hind this change
 Marshal Daniels has held the of flee of United States marshal for the territory of Arizona for more than four years. His term would ex- pire July l, 1910.
 He was appointed on July l, 1905, by Theodore Roosevelt, who was then president of the United States.
 President Roosevelt accounted Dan 4GiS Out OI HIS clOSeSJ 1rlen0S anG | despite opposition which developed among certain senators against con frmatiOn, the president stuck by MT Daniels and eventually the confrma- tion went through.
 The first appointment of Marshal Daniels was made by the president during what is known as the Ere | cess" period of congress.
 On the assembling of congress dur | ing the following winter, the mat ter of confirmation came up and was | approved by the senate during the month of May, 1906.
