Fair Almost Broke Even.

Arizona's sixth territorial fair cost S49. .616 43. which was Ist $966,43 more than the total receipts. That $965 43 represents the amount of the dificit.
 A report of the dlsburse ments and receipts in connection with the sixth fair has been submitted to Governor Sloan by Shirley Caristy, secretary of the Arizona Fair Com mission. It is a gratifying report h more ways than one.
 The deficit for the fifth fair was S6IOO, SO the sixth fair came more than $500O nearer being a paying pro position. Moreover, over $28OO of. the disbursements for the last biz show was for permanent Improvements in the way of barns and other buildings In reality the sixth fair more than paid it's own way, for the property at the fair grounds is worth S2800 more than it was before,
 There is not a member of the fair commission who Is not confident that an eyen batter record will be made this year. Unless great many i'm . provements are made, there will be 0 surplus in the treasury after the seventh fair.-Exchange

TUESDAYS ELECTION

Ia the elections Tuesday, the
democrats lost the legislatures of
New York and New Jersey and
probably the state ticket in Mar.
land and Nebraska. To offset this
they carried New Mexico, Mdssa-
chusett, Kentucky and Mississippi
and elected their full share of city
and town officers. The latest
returns from New Mexico indi-
cate the election of the democratic
state ticket and a majority of the
legislature that will choose the
two United States senators for the
new state. A democrat was also
elected to fill one of the two con-
gressional vacancies in Kansas. In
Cincinnati, President Taft's home,
the republican candidate for
mayor was defeated for the first
time in many years by democrat.
This, too, after the president had
urged the election of the republi-
can candidate. .
So far as the returns 90 the
democrats more than held their
own in Tuesdays elections. The
outlook is certainly bright for
success in the presider tial election.

IN WOMAN'S EAR

Mrs. Jack Reynolds had nerve
rackinR experience the other day
when a centipede dropped from
the ceiling and crawled in her ear
while she slept. The incident
awakened her almost immediately,
but she did not know what SOFT
of a tenant she had. After con-
siderable probing with hairpins
and other implements, in despair
she poured quantity of whiskey
into her ear. This had the desired
effect and the many legged reptile
finally crawled forth.
At first Mrs. Reynolds thought
she had been bitten, hut if so the
liquor counteracted the poison, as
no i'll effects followed.

which none would relish. Clark

WOLVES kNO DEER ...
BATTLE ON DESERT


and band of deer, in which one
deer was slaught> red, was witnessed
last Saturday about ten miles from
Tonopah, on the road to Manhat-
tan, by party composed of L. K.
Koontz. M. P. Randolph, VIM. j.
Mulcoy,C. F. Bachman, Munro S.
Brown and Fred L. Miner. The
men were enToute to Manhattan
by auto when Mr.. Mulcoy noticed
a couple of animals which he sup
posed at first to lie antelope,
running over the desert about 400
yards below The road. He called
the attention of the rest of the
party, who Immediately became
much interested in the unsual sight
Of couple of deer in such an I'M
expected place. The two deer
soon crossed the road hack of
whete the auto had now been
stopped, and in moment two big
loafer wolves showed in pursuit.
The chase became exiting and
as the scene of action progressed a
third deer and two mure wolves
appeared about two hundred yards
behind the f1rst..-----.-.-.-.-..
About a half a mile from the
auto the first two wolves began to
turn their attention to the third
deer whicn was icing pursued by
the other wolves, allowing the
other deer to flee unpursued
temporarily.
The third deer circled and the
chase became maddsning with
speed born of fear and the love of
life on the part of the victim, and
the thirst of blood on the part OF
the wolves.
On and on across the desert and
through the low sage brush the
CHASE continued, but the wolves
finally closed in, the deer went up
into the air several feet as the
tackle was made and then rame
the real battle for life and the
death struggle.
This spot on the desert became
a cloud of dust in which could be
seen the deer and the wolves in a
desperate battle, which lasted
about two minutes. In the mean
time the other deer were con-
tinuing their flight toward low
range of mountains about a mile
further ahead but when the
spectators again turned their at
tention to them, they had been
Joined by two other deer which
had not been seen before. Before
the captured deer had ceased it
struggles two Of the wolves aban-
doned the battle here and resumed
the pursuit after the four deer
that were now fleeing toward the
mountains and swiftly putting
distance between themselves and
the pursuers. The sp ctators
wa tched this race until the parti-
cip.nts were lost in a gulrh in
the distance.
Tie party then bethought of
hurrying across the desert to
where two of the wolves were
feasting on the hot flesh of their
victim, but it appeared impossible
to cross through the sagebrush
with the auto and it would have
made long hike on foot, so the
project was abandoned and the
wolves left to thier feast.
Unfortunately the only firearm
the party possessed was 22 caliber
target revolver owned by Mr..
Kooniz. Had they possessed a rifle
it would have been possible to kill
the wolves and saved the deer from
determination by the pack.
1t is believed that the deer we're
scared up by the wolves in the
Kawich range, some forty miles
away from where the pursuit and
death struggle we're witnessed,
and il is probable that the entire
bunch of deer were finally over.

troduced was interesting and showed
some startling facts the public was
