McMain is the man who shot him in

He expects the papers this week

The arrest OF the man came thru

negro got into some trouble at Ana
moose and they were arrested. It is
said that McMain said something
about shooting an officer in Iowa
and the Anamoose justice being ia

communicated with Countryman, who
sent a picture of the negro who had
shot him and the picture looks very
much like McMain.
Countryman was shot without the
least provocation. He had stopped

few questions and told them they
could 90, even going to the trouble
to tell them, where they could get a
good meal at a reasonable price.
Upon turning around, he got a bullet

SLOAN DECLARES SUCH A MAN
 IS NEEDED
By Hon. Richard E. Sloan.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. 29.-F am immensely pleased to learn that Judge Wells has consented to permit his name to go before the primaries as a candidate for governor. In my judgment, he is altogether the strong est man the republicans can present for the office. His career in the ter ritory from the time he came here as a mere lad until the present which has been so clean and worthy; his experience and knowledge of public affairs; his deserved reputation as a man of business and his undoubted honesty and integrity should, and l believe will, appeal to the voters of the territory so strongly that l con- fidently predict his election. Such man is needed to insure an econ Omical and wise administration of the state government during the eriti- cal period through which it must pass during the first twelve months of its history. The republican party and the people of the territory are to be congratulated upon the announcement of his candidacy.

CHICAGO, H., Sept. 2s-Aviators must expect broken necks, as being but incidents in a days work, ae- cording to Alexander Mcleod, the Winnipeg aviator, who is recovering at the West Pullman hospital follow ing his recent fall. Physicians as- sert that McLeod's neck was broken in two places when he plunged to earth with his machine, but despite these breaks, hospital authorities to- day reported Mcleod as making rap i'd progress. He was up today and walking about the hospital corridors. He is usually cheerful and says he will resume his air flights as soon as he is released from the hospital and has a few days in which to get accustomed to outdoor exercise. His case is considered remarkable by the medical profession.

Shall the people of Arizona vote for justices of the peace and cOnsta- bles at the coming election and if so will such candidates as are chosen be valid officers under the new state government is a question that is agi- tating would-be candidates for those offices and their friends and interest ing the voters generally. The gov ernor has issued a proclamation that does not include precinct officers among those to be filled and holds that the law does not provide for such elections, and Attorney General Wright now supports those views in his opinion given which has been re- ceived in this city. The effect is that justices of the peace and con- stables hold over for a year and that they are not required to run for of flee at the county election. The opinion is as follows:
 ''This morning our local paper pub lished a communication by Governor Sloan, to the board of supervisors of Graham county, in which he informs that board that no election for just ices of the peace or constable, or other precinct officers, is provided for, and that none should be held.
 f'I have, therefore, examined Gov. Sloan's opinion with the laws per taining thereto, and have come to the conclusion that he is unquestion- ably correct.

 "The Smith-Flood resolution pro- vides that the governor shall issue his proclamation for the holding of the first general election, as pro- vided in Election Ordinance No. 9, adopted by the Constitutional Con, vention of Arizona, --~

ELK MAY ROAM
 ON MoGoLLoN MOUNTAINS
rFrom Thursdays Dailyl

Before leaving Prescott for north ern Arizona a few days ago, E. W. Nelson. of the agricultural depart ment at Washington, stated that one of the objects of his visit to Arizona was to investigate conditions in the mountainous regions al high eleva- tions. 10 place several hundred head of elk on the ranges adjacent to the San Francisco mountains, the govern ment being very anxious to solve a problem that is attaining national consideration in the deeimatiOn of these animals every winter in the north. Mir. Nelson, at Flagstaff a few days ago. stated that the ques- tion which seemed most important to him was whether or not the animals would receive adequate protection from hunters. If a guarantee would be given by the citizens generally and the Order of Elks in particular, that the latter organization would cooperate to preserve these animals, it is very probable that big herd would be shipped in this winter. He has authority to decide what course the government will pursue. From statistics given the department, 1t i. stated that last winter over 15,OJO elk starved to death in Wyoming out of herd of 5O,OOO. Beginning early in November these animals start drifting in large numbers from Can ada to the south, and invariably make for their winter feeding grounds n what is kown as the Jackson Hole country in Wyoming, which is well sheltered from blizzaIds and which also until recent years was abundant in range feed. But during the past two years, the land has been taken up by numerous homestead loeators, and is now under fence, with the re- suit that feeding grounds are very narrowly restricted, while the elk has decreased in numbers sub stantially. The heavy losses have reached national consideration and especially among those who urge humanitarian principles to be extend ed before the race is extinct. MT. Nelson before leaving Arizona, will take the question up for further con sideration, when his decision will be announced.

Justices of Peace and ConstableS Not Required to Run for Office At
 The Coming Election

after naming the number, goes on to say, in each specific instance, that such officers shall be elected at the first general state election.
 "Article of the Constitution pro- vides for the judicial department. It provides first for a Supreme court, consisting of three judges, and that said judges shall be elected at the first state election.
 "Seetion of such article provides that superior judges in each county shall be elected, and that they shall be elected at the first general state election.
 ''Section 9 of said article simply provides that the number of justices of the peace to be elected in ineorpo- rated towns and cities, and in pre- cincts, and the powers, duties and jurisdiction of justices of the peace, shall be provided for by law. The constitution does not provide that they shall be elected at the first state election. and of course, under the wording aforesaid, it would be impossible to- do so, because the num- Der would be indefinite.
 Furthermore, the governor, in his election proclamation, did not call for an election of any precinct of fieers.
 ''I am, therefore, of the opinion that Governor Sloan is unquestion- ably correct in the opinion rendered by him to the board of supervisors of Graham county, and that there will be no election for precinct officers at the coming state electien,n
