cech;ss County Bats
 Are Mosquito Eaters

Brother Shinn of the Benson Press has the reputation of being one of the moot learned nsturalisfs in COchise county Mir ShInn has been engaged recently n making 6 study of the character and habits of bats, and his researches have led him to the con- clusion that the hst. at least the Co., chise county "hittermouse, is great exterminstor of mosquitoes. He says that on the ranch of D c Davis, IS miles from Benson, near the stsge fosd crossing of the San Pedro, the discovery was made that bats ate mosquitoes. and st dusK would devour swarms of them 60 quickly that one could sleep comfortably out Of doors. When Mir Shinn made known his dis oovery, last spring. sc,entists seener-lIy were skepticsl. but the trr.h of the Benson editors assertions n regard .o the mosquito devouring trsits of bats has been verified st the Texas U. s. experiment station and the goyern- ment is now paying 9 cents c pair for these little scsvengers uf the air.

The cleo ton was quietly conducted, in com- plete harmony with the spirit that prevailed throughout the campaign, and everything proceeded upon good natured lines and friendly rivalry.
 The only incident that marked the election event out of the ordinary was the arrest of Frank Russell on the charge of illegal voting, Russei who formerly resided here claims Tombstone ss his residence but it is charged has been absent over six months and challenged because of Inability to qualify under the cleo ton regulations. At 3 o'clock 1855 votes were cast Both sides and all contestants are confident. while sev. eraI wagers were made on the street ss to the outcome.

Tombstone's Model
 Municipal Campaign

The manner in which the city cleo tion is being conducted in Tombstone is . model for other communities to pattern after The municipal con csc io this city. the result of which will be decided at the polls tomorrow has been almost entirely free from. excitement. Not . ripple has been noticeable on the political pool and the campaign from beginning to end has been as devoid of personalities, abuse or bitterness on the part of the candidates or their hsnchmen ss would he . meeting of church society.
 The purity of elections law, the publicity law, and other ensctments on the statute books designed to keep the seeker for ofice in the straight and narrow path. are unnecessary here. The Tombstone candidate for municipal honors is actusted by . high sense of civic duty and believes that every man should stand upon his merits and that the voters of Tom bstons are we'll qualified to select the candidate beat fitted for the po- sition to which be ssp'ree.
 If the statehood convention del- egstes had appointed committee from thst body 60 come to Tombstone and observe the manner in which VIC conduct our local campaign, the aforesaid committee could have ob- tsined some pointers that might have aided greatly in the formation of . constitution--at leset that clause in the document designed to regulate the manner in which . csmpsisn shall be conducted. h Tombstone everything was open and above board, fair, square and decent-absolutely without bitterness, anger or rsorimi- nations.

The First Election
 in Cochise County

"The election today reminds me of the ir-t pn'it cal contest that took place in Cochise county remarked The old timer, who wss in a reminis- cent mood, today. "Of course this election is only a contest for city offices and could not be expected to create murh excitement. The polit-- cal fight of 2S yesrs ago today, ho~- ever, was one nf the hotteet ever wt- messed in Arizona, if not in the snuthwest
 "Althnugh the democrats were con- ceded to be in the majority, the re- puhlicans determined to make a fight for supremacy. and the strongest men m their rank were selected to contest the various offices.
 "rhe democrats had also nominated the strongs-' m in the party, such m-n AZ Judge Duncan for the legisla- ture, Mark Smith for district attor- nay, Ben Goodrich for treasurer, Al Jones for recorder and other infiuen- tial and able men for the various other positions. Grant Oury of Final was democrscy's candidate for delegate to congress and Judge De Forest Porter of Yuma was the republican nominee.
 But it was around the contest for sheriff that the real interest and excitement oi the campaign centered. This was three cornered fight. Lar kin Carr was the democratic csndi- date. J L Ward, the republican, and Dave Neagle, then chief of police of Tombstone, was running as an inde- pendent candidate, with 8 large and enthusiastic following. particularly among the miners.
 Each of the parties had daily newspaper to espouse it's cause-THE EFITAPH, edited by Sam Purjy, was the democratic organ; the Republican, conducted by John Dunbar, making the fight for the republican ticket, while Pat Hamilton. through the col- umns ot the Independent ,chsmpioned Nesgle's cause and supported. inci- dentally. such men on the other tickets az he thought might inure to his candidates benefit.
 "The events closely preceding cleo ton day, when Hamilton challenged Dunbar to mortal combat, and went across the line with Purdy to fight . duel to tine death, gave promise Of ssrguinary doings at the polls, but to the credit of the men of those early dave. the contest, though strenuous and exciting in 6 marked degree, was devoid of bIoodshed or even disorder.
 "No," remarked the old timer, ss he bi. oil chew of tobacco, "there was no bloodshed. but it was worth while living in Tombstone in 1882 and taking part in the first election and the events preceding it,"
