most of the day.
The storm of Saturday night con.
tinued unabated all day Sunday, and
the snow greatly interferred with
traffic, both afoot and a-horse, and
clearly put automobiles temporarily
out of business.
The storm delayed freight and
passenger traffic on all roads enter.

from an. hour to two or three hours.
The storm abated during last

The fall of snow is just what the
hunters in the woods desired; and
no doubt many deer will be killed
during the next week.

COUNTY BOARD Will
TAKE ACTION TOMORROW
Will Act on Revocation OF Licenses and
Also Select New County
Auditor.

The board of county commission
ers will meet in this city tomorrow
for the purpose of conducting hear
ing, at which Chris Rogers of Shot
ley and Carl Saterlee of Nebish will
be requested to show cause why the
county liquor licenses held by them
cannot be revoked.
The hearing will be conducted at
the request Of H. A. Larson, special
officer for the Indian department,
who has lodged complaint against
both Saterlee and Rogers charging
that they have sold liquor to
Indians and have also introduced
liquor into the Indian country
When the complaints were lodged
with County Attorney McKusick
forthwith issued notices to Saterlee
and Rogers to appear at the special
meeting of the board of county com.
missioners to be held November 10,
when they must show cause why
their licenses should not be revoked.
The campaign for appointment as
county auditor to succeed John Will
mann, removed, goes merrily on and
the contest for the position is begin
ming to get strenuous.
The members of the board of
county commissioners have been
notified to meet at 2 O'Clock to.
morrow afternoon for the purpose
of naming a successor to Mr.. Will.
mann, but it is not likely that they
will finish the matter of the consider
alton and revocation of certain
liquor licenses in time to take up
the matter of the election of a new
auditor promptly at 2 o'clock.
There appears to be some fifteen
or sixteen residents of the county
who are willing to assume the
responsibilities connected with the
Office Of county auditor and who
would not be unwilling to accept
the emo'uments and perquisites
appertaining' thereto.
An interesting feature of the con-
test is the receipt by James L.
George, one of the most prominent
candidates for appointment, of a
lengthy petition from Blackjack,
wherein the members of the county
board are requested to name Mr..
George as auditor. This petition is
signed by both C. G.. Moon and L.
G. Townsend, who have been &C.
credited with being candidates for
selection as auditor.

GENTLEMEN REJOICE
 OVER HEAVY SNOW
Better Than a Rain For Ranges Promises Abundant Grass
 For Herds

The cattlemen of this section are jubilant over the precipitation of snow yesterday and last evening as it is generally regarded as being the saliva ticn of the cattle business. A long dry spell and a longer season since a good, drenching rain fell had left the range in 2 depiorable condition with nothing in sight until the sum mer rains. All cattlemen say yester- days snow1 was better for them than a rain of two inches. Tho snow disap- pears slowly and sinks deeper into the ground than rain. And as cold weather does not continue here no bad immediate effect on the cattle was generally anticipated.
 From all reports the snow storm was general over southern Arizona. An arrival from Tucson says it was showing there yesterday when he left and snow fell all along the line to Bisbee.
 Not since 1895 had there been such a heavy precipitation of snow as that of yesterday, and the snow of that year was probably not of such long duration. At that time trees were broken down, according to men who live in this section, and snow fell for seven or eight hours and 1t is es- timated that as much as seven or eight inches fell, though the temper atgre was such that part of 1t melted as it touched the earth.
