him to his host of friends. Al
though he has been a constant and
generous contributor to every
church and educational organiZa-
ton which has called upon him
he has always been impartial in
his benefactions.
In 1869 he married Rose Bang

a well known pioneer.
Judge Wells fidelity to all pub
lie trusts which were vested in
him has caused him to he honored

The greatest of these is probably
that of associate justice of the su-

1892 and resisning on account Of
the pressure of his numerous bust

Arizona is an ancient land, full
of evidences of the most primitive
occupation, yet most modern in
its development by the industries
of the Anglo Saxon. The Toltec
and the Aztec lived here. and their
nations passed on to the warmer
zones to the southwark. The
Apache and the Pima, with I'M
dying hostility. then divided be-
tween them the mountain and the
plain. Then the caravels nf the
Spaniards struck the shores of the
eastern seas and the thirst for gold
soon drew the adventurous latins
into the region now known as Ari-
IONA.
The origin of the name Arizona
is not definitely known. Ban
croft. the historian, and some 9TH
ers have insisted that the name is
from a supposed Pima Indian
word, 'Arizonac," although Ban
croft admits that the aboriginal
meaning of the term is not
known" The historian treats as
extremely absurd the sugges-
ton that the name is of Spanish
derivation, and he apparently
bases that conclusion upon the
fact that there is no similar word
in the Spanish language. But it
seems possible that Arizona" may
have had its derivation from the
Spanish words, "arida IONA" (arid

The new territory included all of
New Mexico south of latitude SO

divided by north and south lines
into four counties. A governor

l.. S. Owings of Mesilla. Three ju-

governor. as were also an attorney
general, lieutenant governor, and
other officials: legislature of
nine senators and eighteen repre-
sentatives was to be elected and
convened at the governors order;

Colonel McClintock's services
