MERCHANTS PROTEST
 NEW CHECK LAW

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O.-If you should write a check for less than s1 after January l, 1910. you will subject yourself to the possibility of fine of $500 or being imprisoned six months in jail.
 Protests by the hundreds are being filed by merchants retail houses of all kinds, and especially those doing mail order business. and by all busi- ness men in general, against section ITS of the penal law, which was ap- proved March f, 1909, and which pro yides that no person shall make, is- sue or pay out any note, check. mem orandum, token or other obligation for a less sum than $1, intended to circulate as money or to be received .or used in lieu Of lawful money of the United States.
 The Illinois delegation, particu- larly those representing Chicago, where a large mail order business is done, has been investigating the ef- feet of the law should it go into force. An effort will probably be made to secure its repeal

SE EGREGAT N LAW ATTACKED
 IN COURT

PRESCOTT. Sept. sO.-ror the reason that tine plaintiff had not prop erly attacked the validity of the seg regation law passed by the last leg,s lature. Judge Edward Kent, on the petition filed for A. A. Gibson of Tempe by Atteorney c. F. Ainswort'i to compel the Tempe supervisors to divide the Tempe precinct into two voting districts for the coming loca, option election. ruled adversely.
 After District Attorney BuIlar and Attorney Ainsworth had argued the legal phase of the question. quot ng liberally from the decisions of otheJ states. and Judge Kent had dismisseG the petition for a writ of mandate AinswoTfh was given one week in which to file new application.
 Ainsworth took the position that the statutes compel the board of su pervisors to divide all territory inre precincts insi1e and outside of incoI porated cities into two districts and that they vote separately on the ques ton on local option.
 Tn reply Bullard toook the position that the precincts were created by law and that the supervisors did not have r1e power which belongs to tho legislature to correct conflicts in the laws. He pointed out where segre gatT6n would result in many complica lions.
 AinswoIth must now come in court claiming that the law itself pro vides for segregation and while the law on it's face may appear to pro vide for segregation it's failure to tell how it is done is believed to be a serious defect.
 In the second application for a wril 1t is probable that the validity of the whole law will become question fol the court to decide.

TOMBSTONE, Sept. 30.-The fame of Tombstone, not only as havng the best climate in Arizona, but of having one of the best and most jovial judges who understands the art of joining two hearts as one. is rapidly spread ing and hardly day passes but there comes to the county seat, those wh. have had their hearts pierced by Gu pid's darts who seek the services of Probate Judge Goodbody.
 This morning was no exception and before the hour of opening the office of the probate court, there was a nice looking couple seated on the bench on the outside awaiting the ar rival of Cupid's agent James who Is sued the bliss passports. He soon put in an appearance and the neces sary document was soon forthcoming and Judge Goodbody then performed the act that made Wm. E. Isemasl and Lucille M. Watts. both residents of Wilcox, husband and wife.
 The little fatherly advice that the judge gives to the couples that are married by him, seems to be apreciat ed and the judge is doing good busi ness in that line. The victims not only come from Cochise county. but from Mexico. and from other counties of the territory They cannot come too fast to suit Judge Goodbody.

RAILWAY BUYS UP
 FARMER'S PRODUCE

PORTLAND, Me, Sept. 3O.--An electric railway management in this state has instituted the policy of go ing into the agricultural districts and buying the farmers produce, prac- tically at his door The object is not the profits accruing from speculation in produce. but to encourage the peo- pie of the district to raise more and better crops, so that the railroad may have a larger freight trfiac. The consideration seems sufficient to the railroad. To the farmer the ad- vantage of dealing with a corporation whose prosperity depends on his own, rather than transacting his sales through strangers in distant cities, is apparent.

GIRL ASSAULTED THEN SHUT ID
 DEATH

SANTA FEE, N M. Sept. SO-After 56 hours of terrible agony following a criminal attack by three men who shot her in the head with a revolver and left her to die Miss Gertrude Montgomery, a beautiful young lady who came here week ago from Shreveport, La, died at 2 o'clock yes terday afternoon.
 The story of the assault is one of the most horrifying the annals of criminology. Miss Montgomery died before she could tell all the details but stated that she was attacked early Saturday morning by three men, one of them tall. and all three Ameri. cans At the time she was walking on the outskirts of the city.
 She saw the three men coming to ward her but paid DO particular at tention to them until they suddenly seized her, thrust a gag into her mouth and tied a handkerchief over her eyes. They easily enough accom- plished their purpose.
 Afterward they had a heated guar rel as to what disposition they should make of their victim. One counseled tying her up and leaving her as she was, behind some low bushes. The others were afraid that she would be able to give descriptions of them selves and they would be captured Finally they overruled the more mer- cifully inclined assailant and one of them put a revolver to her head and fired.
 tie that happened after that Sunday afternoon ashe was spied by little girl while slowly crawling toward a water hole in the vicinity Every thing possible was done to save her life. but the bullet wound and long hours of exposure in the hot sun had so weakened her that she only ral- lied for few minutes at a time.
 Before coming to Santa Fe Miss Montgomery taught for five years in a university at Shreveport. She was a native of California and an extra ordinarily beautiful woman.
 Three convicts who have been working on a scenic railway near the scene of the assault have been charged with the crime.

WHETSTONE MINE HAS BEEN
 SOLD

BENSON Sept. BOA deal has just about been consummated where by some good mineral property in the Milestone district will be taken over by local capital On good authority the information is given out, but with names suppressed al the present time, that while the deal is not com, piete 1t is practically closed Price of property has ben settled upon and matters of payment are being arrived at. TheF is no doubt but tha: the next few days will see a new com pany organized and in possession of Esome of the best showings ever Iocat- ed in the Whetstone district. The properties are located about. II miles from town and are heavy in tdng- sten with some gypsum.
 It was learned yesterday that as soon as the company was in posses sion that work would commence on the property and plans for machinery have now been made and will be or dered for immediate shipment.
 Least of all the company has also planned for a concentrating plant which will be erected at Benson, the company wishing to be close to rail road facilities This plant will be a modern up to date concentration. hav- ing all the needed capacity to handle all the ore the company can mine.
 This means something of interest to Benson as the locating of con centrating plant at this point will not only be an advantage to the com pany operating it but will encourage the investing of other capital in Ben son.
 The company will be close ccr- poration, consequently will have no stock on the market. Assays from the property have shown heavy val ues in tungsten and 1t is thought to be the biggest showing in this metal ever located in the southwest.
