FORMER RESIDENT DIES.

In letter written few days ago to a friend in Prescott, from Santa Ynez, in Southern California, Pete Strahan conveys the sad intelligence that his brother, D. W. Strahan, was seized with appoplexy on the 3rd of this month, and succumbed that day. The deceased will be favorably re- membered by many in this county, as a man of excellent citizenship. For many years he was a resident of the Verde Valley, and about ten years ago left for California, en- gazing in the mercantile business, which he followed up to the time of his death. The many friends of the family will regret to learn of the loss of this former resident.

SKETCH OF THE NEW
 REPUBLICAN LEADER

president, Sames was chosen Chair man of the Executive Committee.
 There is nothing sly, seeretive, un- derhanded about the new Chairman. He will not figure as the Reynard of Cochise. The fox does not symbolize him. He is too optimistic to see a sour grape. More like the bee, al- ways looking for something gay and sweet, you will hear his hum before you feel his sting. His heartiest asset is his Arizonaism-he has all ways vowed that if the true Arizonan wishes to await the real crop of plums, he mas got to stand the smudge and the pruning knife.
 There will be no barriers around the Republican headquarters in Douglas. There will be no "busy to- day" sign hanging out-there are no days when he is not busy. Al most before the jaekrabbits are awake under the greasewood, he may be seen, half running, halfwalking in circle around Douglas, far out on the desert, getting up steam for the days work. And with the ten fold burden of stirring the Good Old Party snip into the port of victory on statehood issues, it will be all sails set and a full wind till far into the night. Then, if you happen to call at his home, maybe you'll find him with a flute in his lips, going over some of the Arizona campaign songs, or maybe even a Shubert ser enade. He is married, and just enough of 8 father-he has a little son. to distract him from the cares of politics-or the flute.

PUT END ID BURGLARS
 WORK
From Tuesdays Daily

"Jim" Smith, a hobo of the most absolute and dangerous type of va grants that has ever infested the main line of the Santa Fe, wa: brought to the city, Sunday after noon, by Deputy Sheriff Bartlett ot Ash Fork and lodged Tn the county jail, with his left hand shot tc pieces, while ne was in the act of robbing a cash register in that place Sunday morning at 3:3O o'clock.
 In addition to the ugly wounds on his hand, his stomach also gives evi dence of another bullet, that passed dangerously close to the vital or, gans of his body, ereasing the skin and passing out with slight flesh wound along that portion of over a foot long.
 Smith was caught in neat manner by E. Henderson who was sleeping in the rear of the butcher shop owned by T. J. Evans & Go.
 The ringing of the bell on the register awakened Henderson, and with the instinetive feeling that something was wrong, he secured his gun, and cautiously slipped up to door, and caught the man in the act of extracting money from the drawer. He fired two shots in quick success stion, the last one striking the bur glar in the hand as he was leaving the room.
 Afterward Smith left the town and went into the hills near by to escape arrest. He was tracked for over a mile, and was endeavoring to return for water, complaining of in- tense pain and thirst, when he was apprehended.
 Later a hand satehel was found near where he was lodged, cut to pieces and the contents scattered about. This, also, he admitted hav- ing stolen from an Overland train a short time before he entered the butcher shop. Several valuable ar ticles are missing from out this satenel, but he refuses to divulge where they are.
 Smith is said to be in a serious condition, and it is believed that amputatiOn will be necessary, symp- toms of blood poisoning having de- veloped.

OWNER OF CHEAP PISTOL IS A
 MYSTERY
From Tuesdays Daily)

NtrOm tuesdays Dally)
 Charged with the theft of a pis- tol belonging to Rev. Mckinney of the A. NJ. E. Zion church, O. U. Denny, eolored, was arrested and lodged in the city jail, Sunday af- ternoon, by Chief of Police F. H. Heisler. Denny was arraigned in the City Recorders court yesterday af- ternoon, and later delivered into the custody of the sheriff's office, it ap- bearing that the charge comes under the jurisdiction of the justice court.
 From what was learned at the ex- animation in the Recorders court, it is evident that one of the first ques- tiOns the justice court will be called upon to solve in the case is as to the identity of the owne rof the pistol. Rev. Mckinney says it is his. He declared that he loaned the gun to Willis Hunter, a former em- ploye of his barber shop, who re- gently left for his old haunts in Ne vada. Before leaving for the Sage Brush State, Rev. Mckinney averred that Hunter told him the pistol had been stolen and that he suspected Denny of the theft.
 Denny, in turn, claims that he pur- chased the pistol from another col ored man, and that he will readily prove his ownership to it when the proper time arrives.
 Denny, it appears, loaned the gun to a well known colored boy, evil lie," who was arrested on the charge of carrying concealed weapons, two weeks ago, and sentenced to fifty days confinement in the city jail in default of the payment of a. $50 fine.
 Among other paraphernalia found in the apartments occupied by Denny was an outfit used by opium smok- CTS. Denny claims that he is not in the habit of using it but merely kept it as 'keepsake " given him by a friend.
