Two ball games. into which about
everyrSinzxti.at the game furnishes was
crowded, were equally divided between
the Browns and Nationals yesterday
afternoon.
The visitors from the Mound city won
the first. o to 6. but not until after
desperate struggle. while the men OF
McAleer got the second decision by the
old familiar score OF to 2.
1t was a hard day on the athletes.
also on the spectators, who, therefore.
could sympathize with the players Gil
matte conditions being taken into con-
sideration the two games were really
remarkable exhibitions Of stamina, II
nothing else But there was a lot OF
base ball In them, too. and incidentally
a few enjoyable features from a local
standpoint. the chief one being another
fifth inning rally, in whichs six runs were
scored and the score tied That happen
ed in the first game. but unfortunately
the rally did nothing more than tie the
score, for in the very next inning the
visitors again went out in front, and
they were not headed thereafter.
Fielding in the two games varied
Sometimes II was brilliant and then
again it was of the ragged kind. That
is also true of the hitting, but all In
all it was, a great afternoon for the
cove what loves a game.
For four innings and half the Ma
tionals were a badly beaten lot in the
first game, The Browns had scored six
runs in this period, while not a single
blue-hosed warrior had touched the plate
for McAleer.
This principally because Big John
Powell was in one Of his pitching moods.
and he had the locals guessing. But 1t
was Big Johns misfortune to get his
knee in the way OF one Of Lelivelt's sharp
Founders. and though this happened early
in the first inning it eventually forced Big
John to retire. But with a lead of six
runs, most any pitcher looked good
enough to finish, and SO when O'Connor
picked Ray, the chap who has twice
beaten the Tigers. 1t really looked to be
all over with the locals.

C.uriosities of Smell

mo substance that refuses to
dissolve in water has an odor," says
a writer. For it is the actual sub
stance itself, floating in particles in
the air, that appeal to the nose, and
not simply vibration of the air, as
in the case of light and sound.
The damper a thing is the more
powerful the odor it gives off. A
pleasant proof of the fact can be
had by walking in a garden after
rain.
There is no end to the curiosi'
ties of smell. 1t is, for instance,
the vapor of liquid that smells
and not the liquid in the mass it.
self. If eau de cologne be poured
into the nostril the nose refuses to
recognize any odor there at all.
1T is not in the nostril that the
sense of smell lies, but in the upper
third Of the nose. The red lin
ing of the nostril changes into brown
and becomes much more sensitive. "

AN UNPRECEDENTED ACT

Starting out with statement
that he had no apology to make for

unprecedented, Acting Governor
George U. Young, on June 4th, is
sued proclamation committing the
death sentence of Thomas Waddill.

oath, to term of fifteen years.
In a long rambling article in
which he tries to place himself on a
pedestal above the courts and peo-
pie of Arizona, he recites tale
which might be taken from the
Arabian Nights" and glorifies
himself as a hero, fearless and bold,
in doing an act in which he hurls
defiance to the people of Arizona.
His recital of the life history of
Waddill would be ludicrous under
other circum stances. His descrip-
ton of the cold-blooded murder of
James Lindsay, a pioneer of Ari-
zona, a man of standing and owner
of large ranch, as we'll as mining
property, simply as an act of killing
an old man named Uncle Jim /"
Lindsay, shows that he did not make

should have made of all the facts in
the case.

ern section of the county, and as VIZ
believe in good roads and plenty o.
them, we will be only too glad tt
know that such road will be built
At the same time we realize thai
the original plans call for roaC
through the Territory to New Mex
leo, and building such road dowr
the extreme western part of the
county in southerly direction to.
ward old Mexico is certainly not
carrying out the original plans as
we understand them, and as we be.
lieye the people of Graham County,
as we'll as the board of supervisors,
understand them.
1t is our belief now as it was in
the first instance, that the levy of
25 cents on each $1OO in Graham
County was an excessive assessment
and money not needed, as no work
had been done on public highway
through Graham County to New
Mexico, and we know of no work,
survey or otherwise, being done
on such highway.
We consider that the board of
supervisors have acted wisely in not
taxing the people of Graham County
the amount asked for by the Terri
torial engineer. There was no as
surance whatever that work on the
would be carried on in the
near future, while from the expert
ence of the past there was every
reason to believe that the first mon
ey raised would be spent in some
other county.
In other words, while the people
of Graham County would be willing
to pay an assessment for the build
ing of highway through the county
to New Mexico, they are not willing
to pay such assessment if the mon
~ so raised in Graham County is to
se spent anywhere else than in Gra-
lam County. We want the money
spent here in this county and we
want to know how it is spent and |
he results.
We earnestly hope that the plans
or building road through the
western part of the county, from
San Carlos to Cochise County, will
'e carried out, as that section GER
ainly needs such road and needs
badly.
We also want the Territorial high
1ay built down the Gila Valley and
hence across to Clifton and New
lexico, and when we know that
his will be done; that the Territor-
al engineer has started in earnest
a making surveys and putting men
Q work on the highway, then there
'ill be no kick from the people of
iraham County to pay the assess.
.ent Of 25 cents on each $l00 r.
omplish this much neeS ac-
lent. led improve-
Astl
..e matter stands at present,
we believe the board of supervisors
are absolutely right in the stand
they have taken in refusing to levy
more than five cents on each $1OO.
Money raised in Graham County
for building this highway should be
used on the highway built in Gra-
ham County and in that part where
it will benefit the people of the
whole county.
Not one cent should be given up
by the people of Graham County to
build the public highway in Mari
copa County or any other county,
and it is dollars to doughnuts that
the money first raised will be used
as usual in that section of Arizona
that hogs" everything in sight.
We will stand by our board of
supervisors, for we know they are
right in this matter.

. country, that one was the killing O
Lindsay.
Riding along with Lindsay, OF
their way to his mining property
where Waddill had been engaged t,
work on mining claims, Waddil
was reproved by Lindsay for bein,
cruel to his horse. According t,
, Waddilps confession, the following
conversation took place:
Tommy, you should not be 81
, cruel to your horse" | replied
i Uncle Jim, what is it to you; il
is mine"
1T does not make any difference
whether it is yours or mine, or who
it belongs to-" replied Uncle Jim

cruel 10 dumb brute"

to take gun and kill you, you old

| Waddiil then and here began to
plan to kill Lindsay, and for what
Because he had been reproved by
Lindsay for being cruel to his horse,
a dumb beast.
What an excuse for a cold-blooded
deliberately planned murder. Wait
ing until his victim was asleep, and
sitting by his bedside, he reaches
for the victims gun and coolly aim
ing sends bullet crashing through
the old mans head. Aiming again,
he fires the second bullet.
Coming away from the scene of
the murder, the murderer concocts
a lie to save his neck. He impli-
Gates two other men who escape
only because the haunted murderer
becomes frightened at the vision
ever before him of his ghastly deed,
and finally tells the truth.
Acting Governor Young tells us
that Waddill had little schooling,
was illiterate, had no advantage of
a civilized community? What be-
came of all the other boys who
went to the little log school? Did the
acting governor inquire of their il
literacy he would have found those
same boys as men respected where
ever they have taken up their resi-
dence and law-abiding citizens.
For more years than Waddill is
old, the schools of Graham County
have been in existence, taught by
the best teachers coming from all
parts of the country, and every par
ent had full knowledge that educa-
tion of their children could be Sc
cured as we'll in the Gila Valley as
in New York. Waddill's illiteracy
is no excuse for his crime.
Had Acting Governor W
commuted the sent-~- 4oung
life imprisc- ice of death to
nn- ..nment, there would be
word of censure. Society would
be satisfied.
To try and excuse this mans
crime for the purpose of doing an
act unprecedented in the history of
the country, he virtually places a
premium on crime, if the criminal
can prove he is uneducated and
comes from Graham County. He
has placed himself above the courts
of the Territory and has endangered
society by an act that will reflect
discredit upon his office long after
he has passed into oblivion.
Acting Governor Young has done
more harm to the people of Arizona
by this one act, than all the out
RACES committed by the bandits of
past years of her history, and he
has clearly shown that he is unfit to
hold the Office of acting governor Of
this Territory, and something should
be dore by Governor Sloan or by
the congress to curtail the power
of man who is so willing to use
his Office to set aside the verdicts
of the territorial courts and make
justice a farce.

ASK LEGISLATURE
 TO CUT TAX RATE
TAX COMMISSION SAYS TAXES
 MUST BE REDUCED.
Says This Wifi Be Necessary Before Property Can Be Assessed at
 Full Value.

Little Rock,-The state tax com mission has announced positively that the next state legislature will be asked to reduce the present state tax rate, in order that property may be assessed at it's full value thereafter.
 Just what reduction will be asked is not yet determined upon, and will probably be governed largely by the results in the assessments for the cur rent year. as well as by the outlook for needed appropriations in the fu- ture. It is even probable that the amount of the decrease will not be recommended, that being left to the legislature itself.
 What we want the legislature to do," said Judge Hampton, chairman of the commission, "is to make such able the assessors and the tax com mission to place all the property in the state on the tax books at it's fair market value, as required by law. It would, of course, be impracticable to suggest what that reduction might be, at present, but We will certainly have data sufficient before us by the time the next legislature meets for this matter to be fairly determined.
 The only rates over which the leg islature will have direct control are those for general taxes, including the common school, general revenue, Con- federate pension fund and state cap itol fund
 Other tax rates are either county Or district, and can be regulated very easily locally, shoul dthe citizens of community decide they did not need the increased revenue under the full valuation. The road tax itself is a local tax, so that there will be no difficulty in adjusting other tax rates when the state rates are once lowered.
 It has been doubted as to whether there should be any decrease in the general revenue tax rate, which is about onesfourth of the total state tax levied. At present the general rev enue is insufficient to meet the de- mands for state expenditures, and some are of the opinion that even V4'ii d iah Noiudeioil ol pioPelly lne tax of l 3-4 mills, levied for general state expenditures, should stand un- reduced. The appropriations made by the last legislature had to be cut down to prevent a deficit, although they had been made after months of deliberation and in view of the rev enue condition. With the growing needs of the state institutions and the necessity for means with which to properly exploit the state at home and abroad, many contend that the general revenue rate, on the present basis of valuation, will have to be raised
