CURTIS INTERVIEWED
TIE JAMES BROTHERS
After the Leader Had Given
Him a Vivid Story, the
Writer Kept Faith.

Cilicago.-O,e OF the earliest scoops"
of William T.. Gurus. the journalist who
died recently in Philadelphia, was that
of getting an Interview with the James
boys while they were in the midst of their
war with the authorities.
While detectives were trying to find the
desperadoes, Curtis, then a reporter for a
Chicago paper, went out to Missouri.
found their hiding place and calmly am
nounced he had come for an interview
with the bandits.
A Spy, Jesse James Said.
W know what you're here for. You're
. spy" was the reply of Jesse James.
whats more, you wont get away from
here"
But the aggressive reporter was not to
have his cherished scoop thus spoiled
until too old to be of use to his paper.
fc refused to be a prisoner. He talked
to tire James boys about his trip out there
to see them so that he might put the truth
about them before the public, and finally
convinced them he was there for the pur-
pose he gave.
The Most Vivid James Story.
"Well. I'm going to give you anything
you want. just to satisfy you" Jesse
James finally said.
But he kept faith Wish the mel who
had taken him at his word. Fe did not
reveal any of the secrets OF the rendez-
vous OF the desperadoes and he did not
tell the detectives, who were searching for
them. where their hiding place was.
With Custer.
"You go out with General Custer. he's
going to kill a few Sioux Indians in South
Dakota"
That. or a brief order 10 that effect, was
given to a 24-year-old reporter by the edi-
tor OF the Chicago 1nter-Ocean in 1874.
| William e. Curtis sharpened up his pen
ellis, bought a revolver and started on
the western campaign that ended i'm the
massacre Of the United States troopers.
The reporter turned aside to be the first
to report the discovery Of gold in the
Black Hills.
Life in the Indian country left the
young reporter without any fear when he
came to Missouri a few years later to
hunt the James brothers with the Pink
erton detectives.
If all the world did moi know William
e. Curtis, he knew all the world. Few
men lave ever had so extensive an ac-
qua.ntance with potable characters and
different nations: few men have seen sc
many notable events. He was at home In
every city. He interviewed ope and en-
perors. He dined with kings, queens and
presidents, and was honored with the

Statement of Ralph H. Cameron and
 Hoval A. Smith

Our attention has been called to the statement that certain dem ocratic legislative candidates have openly declared their unwillingness if elected, to be guided by the advisory vote of the people for United States senators.
 We wish our position on this matter to be known to the people whose suffrages we seek, in ad- vance of the election. We would spurn with contempt an election at the hands of a republican legis- lature that would have the audacity to disregard the advisory vote for United States senators, and we call upon all republican candidates for the legislature publicly to pledge themselves forthwith that they will, in the event of their election: abide by the advisory vote of the people for United States senators, and should a majority of the legislature be re- publican and either or both of our democratic opponents receive the advisory vote that they will keep faith with the people of Arizona and promply ratify their choice as expressed in their advisory vote for United States senators on December I2th.

Republican Rally Notes

The republican rally last night was well attended and was a very successful event.
 Judge Wells made an excellent address last night at the republi- can rally. The impression he made will last and the people will be pleased to aid in placing him in the gubernational chair.
 Judge Doan addressed the peo- pie last night Tn a most pleasing manner. The Judge is popular in this section of Arizona, and to elect him to the judgeship on the supreme bench will be a mani festation of most excellent judg- m ent, and it is a certainty that he would oficiate with credit both to the people as we'll as himself. He is an able man.
 The bonfire added to the pleas ure of the republican rally last night.
 w. D. Fisk, the republican candidate for state treasurer, was among the bunch of state candi- dates. He joined the campaign ing party here. The balance of the. party came from Winslow.

FLAGSTAFF BOYS
 MAKE GOOD AT PHOENIX

Flagstaff boys succeeded in capturing two of the prizes at the territorial fair for broncho busting. Bud Parker pulled down first prize, which was the handsome silver mounted saddle, and Henry Isbell second prize of S6o. Both prize winners are young men who can pretty nearly ride any old twister that ever sprinted over the hills on one hind leg.
 Each of them put up a good ride and were emitted to the honors given them.

The territorial fair this year was one of the biggest events of the kind ever held in the southwest. There was an immense crowd which taxed Phoenix to the ut most to care for. People return ing were we'll pleased with their visit to the fair.
 It looks like two republican senators in New Mexico, though the democrats have apparently captured most all else. IL would not be strange if the statement in the erstwhile Phoenix Sun came true-New Mexico democratic and Arizona republican.

AS he reached the house of Mad
am Kane he did not rush up the
steps. On the contrary he paused
to wonder whether he shouldn't reg
lister as Buffalo Bill or Rahles in
stead of a poet. Both were roman
tic and catchy. He had visited mo-
ton picture shows where both char
acters were portrayed, and he had
noticed that every young woman
clapped her hands and rolled up her
eyes.
Madam Kane begged Miss Brown
to be introduced to the starving art
list in her presence. The rent on his
garrett was due, and the free lunch
places were freezing him out, and he
waAted to know about his future.
BY this time Miss Brown had be-
come alarmed and wanted to get out
of the house. She no longer saw
things in the light Of romance. She
was moving toward the door when
the starving artist bounced into the
room and fell at her feet and
clasped her hands and rolled his eyes
and exclaimed:

Mr.. Bennett was a young man OF

GLEN ULLIN Man
Caught in EAST

Alandan, N D., Jan. 3l.-Sheriff
Oscar Olson left last week for Hud-
son, N. Y, with requisition papers on
the governor of New York for J. G..
Davis of Glen Ullin on the charge of
obtaining money under false pretences.
/ Davis skipped from Glen Ullin on
December 10, but was located at Hud-
son, and the chief of police wired the
authorities. States Attorney Biting
Immediately got out the reousition pa
pers and Davis will be brought back
here for trial.
Davis went to Glen Ullin last sum-
mer and claimed to be a veterinary
surgeon. He was an affable and pleas
ant man to meet and made many
friends in Glen Ullin.
While Mr.. Pettus, the proprietor of
the livery barn at Glen Ullin, was sick
here recently, Davis represented that
he had brought out the barn. Some
horses were left there to be sold on
commission. He went to the First Ma
tional bank of Glen Ullin and repre-
sented that he owned the horses and
borrowed $3.50 on them. He then sold
the horses and left for parts unknown.
When he got to Chicago he cashed a
check at one of the banks for 500 on
the First National bank of Glen Ullin.
The Glen Ullin bank Immediately wired
east for trace of him. He was eventu-
ally located at Hudson.
Davis is apparently an expert crook
and the people of Glen Ullin are anx-
'ous to have him brought back and
dealt with according to law.
From the Hudson, N. Y, papers re-
ceived is an account of the arrest of
Joseph G. Davis. aged 40 years, by !
Chief Lane and Sergeant Cruise of the |
police of that city. The story says that
Davis is well known among the Column
bia county horsemen. When he was
arrested he was in an uptown livery
stable. At first he denied ever having
been i'll North Dakota, but later he
admitted he had journeyed through
that state several times.
The prisoner is we'll known there,
having been connected with several
ocal stables. He had been arrested in
hat county before, having been i'm
dictated in the robbery of fur coat
wo years ago.
Word received from Sheriff Olson
stated that he had arrived at Hudson,
\. y, and had charge of Davis.
