MAYOR WILL
 NOT HANDLE
 ROASTED NUTS
in Police Court JudgeShip Con- test He Will Not Be Made Fall Guy If It Comes To a Tie Vote

It is pretty safe bet that the members of the council are rot look ing forward to the appointment of a police judge for the city as a time of rejoicing. The three-cornered fight be- tween the first candidates for the ap- pointment grew so hot that as a com promise 1t was proposed to put the work of the city police court on the city clerk. There is a drift of sent:- ment in this director the councl.
 It s certain that Mayor Neale is not going. to have the decision pushed off on him. If the council members come to me with tale about an even divi- sion and wanting me to break the tie l am going to ask them to go back into caucus and think again. I have had more than my share of that sort of thing. When the question of the appointment of a city physician came up at the caucus divided in exactly man. three for another. with me in the saddle and making the final deci- sion.
 They came at me the same way on that city clerk job, when Hicks was elected county treasurer, and it was up to the council to get a new clerk. What did those foxy members of the council do but profit by their former experience in the appoint ment of a city physician and show up at the caucus divided in exactly the same manner. So it was again up to me to cast the deciding vote.
 Tn this city judgship matter l am going to be just as foxy as they are. have taken enough responsibility in deciding matters of the knd and if they come to me with wrinkles in their eyes and plan in their heads to put the matter up to me they are going to be cordially invited to go back and think the matter over some more g

IA LIFE SKETCH
 OF GEORGE YOUNG
Newly Appointed Secretary First Arrived in Territory
 in Year 1893

George U. Young IS a native of h. diana, and is 42 years old. Before coming to Arizona. he practiced law and taught school in Kansas. He ar rived in Williams, AriZ., in 1893. His first job in Arizona was as locomotive fireman. and 1t is said that while he was firing an engine he gave the best there was in him to that work. It is said that this determination to dc whatever he was doing with all his might, displayed first in Arizona in an engine cab, Is that to which he owes his success in life. From firing an engine MT. Young went back to the school room and was principal of the public schools at Williams from 1895 to 1888
 While principal of the Williams schools, Mir. Young became the owner of the Williams Sun, which paper, un- der his management, soon came to have a wide circulation and to have much influence in northern Arizona. Notwithstandip the fact of being consistent republican, Mir. Youg's pa per was idependent in politics, and devoted its main energies to the de velopment of northern Arizona's re- sources. It was due to his efforts, ably assisted by Bucky O'Neil, that the railroad was built from Williams to the Grand Canyon of Arizona This railroad, has done more to de- velop Williams and northern Arizona than any other factor. One would think that with school scope for his talents and energies, but such was not the case. He became interested in mining and has been in that line Of business on a constantly expanding scale ever since the early days of his newspaper work. Later, becoming in terested in the Derby group of mines few miles west of Prescott MT | Young disposed of his paper at Will Hams, resigned his position with the schools and has since devoted a large part of his time to the Derby mines and to other mining enterprise. in which he is interested. Through all the dull times incident to the recent panic, Mir. Young has kept his work going, employing many people and | keeping a steady stream of money coming into the country in which he is operating.
 Politically, Mir. Young has always been active and prominent in the
 councils of the republican party He
 has never allowed his party opinions
 to interfere with his business or so. cial relations. and has as many | friends among democrats as among
 republicans. He was secretary of the
 territorial republican central commit.
 tee in 1902 and was again selected
 10 fill that position in 1908. It was due largely to his energy and syste
 matic work that the democratic ter ritory of Arizona, returning a repub lican delegate to congress.
 Mir. Young was married at Williams to Miss Smith, a member of one of 1.-the leading families of northern Ari
 zona, and the daughter of most en thusiastic democrat. Mir Young has
 a host of friends in Prescott, where he makes his home and is regarded
 there as a most valuable citizen,

WROTE NOTE AT
 THE POINT OF GUN
Details of the Tragedy i7 Which Charles Coleman
 Lost His Life

The following article is from tes Florence Tribune and gives the par ticulars of the killing Of Charles Coleman, who was known as a very bad character in Bisbee:
 District Attorney O'Connor and Sheriff McGee returned from Sasco Tuesday, bringing with them the first particulars of the killing which took place in the smeIter camp.
 "A man by the name of Charles Coleman. it seems, followed a woman over from Bisbee to Sasco. whom he claimed was his wife. The woman had arrived there several weeks prior to her so-called husbands arrival and was living in a tent situated some distance in the rear of Tom Wilson's s saloon. When Coleman arrived he walked into Wilson's saloon and asked Tom. who was standing behind the bar, if his name was Wilson. Tom answered in the affirmative and then Coleman quickly drew a revolver and jabbed the muzzle of it against Toms stomach, at the same time exclaim- ing. Hand over your guni" Tom threw up his hands and exclaimed.
 I haven't any guni' Still keeping Tom covered. Coleman edged around the end of the bar and espied a re-
 volyer lying on a shelf beneath the
 bar. He took possession of the gun and also a box of cartridges lying be side it. He then asked where Shoe 1 maker was and Tom said he is UT
 town. Coleman then made Wilson write note to Shoemaker. tell ns him to come down to the saloon, a!
 the woman was sick and needed him When the note was finished Wilson
 told Coleman there was no one on thu
 premises to take the note to Shoe
 maker but that he would take 1t ul
 himself. No, you will not get ava.
 from me that way; I am going to Xiii all three of you A few moment : later. Coleman, thinking he had pos session of all the fire arms in the sa loon, went out to the tent and begul
 to curse and abuse the woman. Bu he had overlooked a 30-30 rife s.ttinl behind some boxes, and as soon as h passed out of the door Wilson grabt ed this gun and stepping to the doc sent a ball through the center c Coieman's back. The latter jerke
 both pistols from his belt and whirle : around but plunged forward on hi face dead before he could fire at Wi son fired a second shot but misse the falling man. This was the ey ? | dence given at the preliminary e, animation and Wilson was held to tn grand jury in the sum of 5000. Fl

b0b KIRK |S ON THE SPOT
 ID SEE YOUNG
Former Bisbee Man Loses No Time in Hiking to Pres colt to See New Republican Secretary of Territory

Bob Kirk. who now sits close to the Republican throne. has returned to Phoenix from Prescott. where he went to meet George U. Young, recently appointed secretary of the territory.
 Young was the first of the "fixers" to return to Arizona from Washing ton. reaching Prescott Saturday. To get out of the limelight Young went out to the Derby mine. near Pres colt of which he is general nan ager.
 Kirk knows a lot more than he will tell. and when seen recently Ee refused to confirm or deny the re- port that he is to be assistant secre- tary of the territory under Young. Ru- nor has it that in the settlement of the Arizona estate Kirk was appor- toned the job Lew Collins recently lost when it was given to A. W. Lautz.
 Not until Judge R. E. Sloan re- turns to Prescott the latter part of this week will there be any extended statement made. Young refuses to talk. saying that Sloan IS the man to give out aE the political informa- ton
 As soon as Sloan, Adams and Smith all get back into Arizona it Is ex- pected that there will be conference in Phoenix of the Republican leaders to settle the selection of several new judges.
 In Prescott the friends of John 1T. Ross are urging that he be chosen to take Judge Sloans' place on the bench at Prescott. Paul Burks, Paul R. Ingles. F. S Clark. A. J. Edwards and several others are also being suggested.
 Judge F. s. Nave's successor at Globe has not yet been chosen al though it seems understood that E. w Lewis of Phoenix is to have this place. This is to be what the PAoe- nix Republicans get out of the d-stri- button of sDoils
 John B. Wright of Tucson is to be made United States district attorney to succeed J, l.. B. Alexander, though the Iatter,.s term does not expire un- til next Decembr. J. E. Morrison of Bisbee seems to have been side tracked for Wright. Wright is Tue sons bit of the good things.
 Strenuous denials continue to be made that J. C. Adams wants to be United States marshal or anything else. Adams would have liked 10 have been governor, but when that went to Slcan there was nothing else that he wanted.
 In some quarters a belief exists that a successor to Chief Justice Ed ward Kent will be chosen, but Kent term lasts almost twelve months more. and nothing has been said yet about his resigning. Kent belongs to the Kibbey wing of the party and this is probably responsible for the rumors that he will go With the oth- CTS.
 Until all the. pilgrims get back from Washington and each has time to tell his friends confidentially what happened at the White House confer ence the public will have to wait 10. the explanation of the compact that was made to bring harmony into the republican ranks in Arizona

NED CREIGTRON IS
 TALKING FOR ADAMS
Hotel Mans Young Lieutenant In Phoenix Thinks His
 Boss is Abused


 PHoENIX, April 12.-"Enemies of J. c. Adams are building up a straw man, hoping later to get chance to knock it down to the injury of Adams. q say this because Adams has never been an applicant for the DO. sition of United States marshal, or any other federal position.
 Ben Daniels will be United States marshal at least eight months longer. His term does not expire for that length of time"
 Ned Creighton, one of Adams ablest lieutenants, made this state mentment when asked for the latest dope from Washington.
 For several days" he continued certain people have been trying to make it appear-that Adams wanted to be marshal, figuring that as soon as the public learned he was not to get it they could use it against him in political way. T know positively, and several others know. that Adams did not go to Washington to get any territorial job. and that his friendship for Young and desire to do what he could for the party as a whole was his real object.
 Nothing would please certain peo- pie more than to be able to say that Adams had tried to get federal job and had been turned down. For this reason and no other they have been trying to make it appear that he was after Marshal Daniels job.'
 No secret was made of the fact when President Roosevelt turned the job over to President Taft that Rooseyelt's one request was that Taft. .should continue Ben Daniels al marshal in Arizona.
 Taft is expected to fulfill this re quest. which means that Daniels vii stay on till his term expires, if no longer. Roosevelt made an almos historical fight to make Daniels mar shal in the face of bitter opposition in the senate that held up the con frmation for several weeks.
 Friends of Overlook in Douglas ar' openly saying that one of Smith campaign pledges in order to hell Ralph Cameron was that he woul' endorse and support Overlook fo marshal It is believed that Smith | keeping his word.
 While it may appear that the re cent appointment of Judge Sloan an George Young were selections tha will harmon,ze the republican part in Arizona, there is still reason { believe that there is just as grea lack of harmony in the ranks a there ever was.
