The republicans of Maricopa county
closed up very satisfactory week
yesterday. completing their county
ticket, presenting to their friends the
enemy. a set of men who will show
the opposing candidates clean set of
heels when the race finishes Decen-
Der Il. This statement is entirely
timely Though the present list is
but the lineup for the primary. there
Is no contest between party candidates
except in the matter of superior
judge. and whichever candidate is
picked on by the voters to make the
race the result is bound to be satis
factory for they are both capable and
well deserving men.
The list of candidates for marty fav
ors is presented at the head of this
column. Most of them have been
given personal complimentary men

but three or four of the late comers
are entitled now to special exploita-
tiOn.
First among them are II. I. Latham
and Fen S. Hildreth who will hold up
the party standard in the race for the
upper house of the state legislature.
Mr.. Latham has lived in this valley
nearly thirteen years. of which time
he has spent twelve years and eleven
months in persistent boosting. The
other month was spent in securing a
room and an office in which to do
business and in learning the points
Of the compass and a few other de-
tails necessary in the boosting busi-
ness. He liked Phoenix as much as
he could like anything, when he first
came here, and he has been increasing
his love for the city. county and terri
tory ever since. He has made and
spent in boosting. more money than
some people ever make, and has a
few dollars left. with which he ex-
poets to do some more boosting. In
short, Mr.. Latham early went irto
the real estate business and has
stuck to it ever since. sometimes when
the picking was slim. Now that
prosperity has come to stay and Mr.
Latham is getting his part of IL he
is still among those who want to
make it bigger and better country
He has always been active in politics
by his personal work and influence,
and has always been an ardent re-
publican. but never before has he
asked for an office and does so now.

He has business enough to attend 70
but like all good citizens he wants the
state to start with a fine set of Of

candidacy he has consented to run

sit up and take notice.

astic and equally as loyal and patri-
Otic to his state and country, and

BUSINESS DISTRICT
WAS A TOTAL LOSS

LA CROSSE. Wis, Oct. Fifteen
families were made homeless and a
property loss of s1.200.000 was wrought
in the city of Black River Falls which
is laboring under the distressing ham
dicap of the loss of the business dis
trict as a result of the flood The
leading citizens are now able to cope
with the situation without outside as
sistance. although accepting gratefully
all proffers of help. The serious prob
lem is the lack of stores and loss of
stock and provisions. Only one gro
cery remains. Meat and groceries will
have to be shipped in for the present
to supply the population.

Worried by Ill Health, L.
M. Darby, of This City,
Swallowed Enough of the
Drug to Have Killed a
Dozen Men.
KILLED HIMSELF IN
HOTEL IN HOUSTON
First Intimation That a
Suicide Had Been Com
mited Was Conveyed to
the Republican in a Spe-
cial Dispatch.

HOUSTON, Texas, oct. Z, (Special)
L n Darby was found dead in a
room at the Capitol hotel this after
noon about two o'clock. He had been
out automobile riding last night ana
returned about o'clock this morning.
He left word that he did not wish to
be called until two o'clock this after
noon when a chauffeur was to call
for him When the chauffeur called,
Darby did not answer the bell boy,
and when the hotel attaches broke in
to his room he was found dead IN his
bed.
\ note giving the address of his
wife was all that was found in the
room by which he could be identi-
fled, as he had registered under an
assumed name. In a telegram he had
prepared TO be sent to his wife in
Phoenix he stated that he was tired
of life and asked for forgiveness. He
also advised her that his insurance
was paid up TO October II. The in
quest developed that Darby had taken
enough cyanide of potash to kill fifty
men. \ local undertaken received in
structions tonight to ship the re-
mains to Phoenix
News Of the death of L. VI. Darby
was received here with surprise, and
of course, with regret. The first in
formation came to Mrs. Darby in a
message from the undertaken, and
contained no reference to suicide, say
ing he had been found dead in his
room. AS he was known to be in
delicate health ii was supposed that
he had died of natural causes until
later word was received.
Darby has not been in good health
for a long time, having been troubled
with an affection of the heart, which
was complicated with an affection Of
the throat. Only a couple of weeks
ago he suffered a very sudden and
serious attack and for a day or two
it was feared he might not recover.
When he was able to be around again.
he decided to take n little vacation
from business cares in the hope that
he might feel better, and left for
Houston only a few days ago. The
only motive for suicide that can be
conceived is i'll health.
Mr. Darby was 33 yeads old on his
last birthday and had been a resident
OF Phoenix eight or nine years. For
several years he has been engaged
in the Incorporating business and at
the time of his death was president
and general manager of the South
western Securities Co, his office be
ing in the Lewis block, corner of
Adams street and Central avenue. His
business was a prosperous one and
his one unhappiness seemed TO be con-
tinued i'll health
The deceased is survived by his
wife and two step-children. one a
married son. The Darby family reside at
S16 North Central avenue. Mrs Oar
by was almost prostrated yesterday
on receipt Of the telegram announcing
the death of her husband The shock
was accented by the fact that she
was expecting a message advising her
of the date Of his return home

Mr. Sharp's time allowance had ex-
pired by this time, but the House
wanted him to go on. Mr.. Gillet of
Massachusetts, who was conducting
the appropriations bill through the
House, said that until he heard from
the gentleman from Ohio he was quite
uninformed as to the necessity or the
usefulness of filar micrometer. Then
Mr.. Bennett of New York wanted to
know why the Nautical Almanac
comes out bearing a date year or
two in advance" why is that, and
what is the exact object of the Nau-
tical Almanac dated two years
ahead?" he persisted. How can they
do it?" Mr.. Gilett, In charge of the
bill, did not know any more about
the Nautical Almanac than he did
about filar micrometers. He con-
fessed: 81 have looked through these
publications Of the Naval Observa-
tory, and to me they are marvellous
and impossible of comprehension.

micrometer, at least" After this
preliminary exchange Of courtesies
Mr.. Sharp told Mr.. Bennett and the
still listening House how and why it
was possible to issue the Nautical
Almanac two years ahead. Then Mr..
Gillett had an idea. He asked Mr..
Sharp: 'If you can compute them any
number of years ahead, why can you
not issue it now for the entire fu-
ture, and not keep doing it every
year?"
Mr.. Sharp said that would be pos
sible, and so ended an incident which
has made the Ohio lawyer and manu-.
facturer Of pig iron the greatest liv-
ing authority at present in Congress
on the subject of nautical almanacs,
astronomy and especially filar mi
crometers.

RETURNS
To Mt. Vernon Content To
Let Wife Roam Wide World
With The Man She ElOpGd
With At Hartford city
Hartford city Tlmes.aazette,


William Francher of Mt. Vernon,
o., whose wife eloped with Ed, Shock
ey, local hostler and who arrived
in this city Thursday hunting for in.
formation in regard to his wife's dis
appearance, has returned to Mt. Yer
non content to let his wife roam the
wide, wide world.
When interviewed by Times-Ga-
zette reporter on Friday morning
Francher said that his wife came to
this city in December to visit with
relatives during the holidays and was
to be home by January 4. On that
date he received a letter from her
saying she was sick and could not
return at that time. This proved to be
untrue. On last Monday he received
another letter from her stating that
she would not be home before spring
and il he wanted her to come then
she would, but for him to store the
household goods and live as happy as
he could for she was going to have
a taste of real life. She also stated
that when she decided where she was
going to settle she would write him a
letter but if he hunted for her she
would never return and would cause
him trouble.
Mr.. Francher states that he will
not look for her but will return home,
dispose of the household goods, and
lookout for No. l. Before leaving
home Mrs. Francher drew $50 of her
husbands bank account and deposit
ed it in her own name. The money
was later recovered. Since Mr..
Francher came here he found that
his wife and Ed. Shockey both had
boxes at the post Office and received
on an average of six or seven let
ters a week from each other. On
January 8, she received letter from
Shockey post-marked Kokomo and in
company with her eleven-year-old
son she left Tuesday morning for
parts unknown but it is supposed she
went to meet Shockey. Shockey and
Francher were boyhood chums to-
gether and frequently when the
Franchers lived here Shockey would
be visitor at the Francher home for
weeks at time but the husband sus-
pected nothing.
Before leaving Mt. Vernon Mrs.
Francher packed an extra suit case
with silverware, table linens, blank
cts and the remainder of her and her
sons wardrobe which she left with
one of her neighbors to be scent to
her later This suit case was sent to
her on January a. Since learning the
facts of the case Francher says he
will not take his wife back under any
conditions.
