Death of Ben Schuster

Captain Benjamin Schuster died in Los Angeles, California, Sunday, December 10th, 1911. at the age of forty nlne years.
 Captain Schuster had resided in this county for many years; he and his twin brother Adolf, located at HOlbrOOk and were engaged in the mercantile busi- ness at that place for several years defore the creation of Ma vajo county The brothers established branch house at St. Johns about twenty 1.-two years ago. of which the recently de- ceased brother had charge up to his death. Deseased was univer- sally esteemed by all classes, be ing a man ofgenial temperament and of sterling integrity. He was a good citizen, good man and a most true and sincere friend and his acts of charity were nu merous, but they were always made without ostentation. A mong our Mexican people, par ticularly the poorer classes, his death is a sad bereavment, and they will feel the loss of his boun- ty and friendship. Deceased leaves a most devoted wife and four children to mourn over their irreparable loss, and they have the sincere sympathy of the en tire community. - St. Johns Observer.

DEMOCRATS MAKE A
 FAIR SHOWING HERE

The first state election in Ari- zona was a democratic victory. The ticket as a state affair car ried with a majority of about 5000. The county ticket was badly slashed and the results show that each voter had some opinion of his own The results were, in some cases. unlocked for. {. For instance. the defeat of Mir Burbage was an unexpected event.
 Mir. w. P. Geary a resident of Winslow, goes through with the state ticket and is recieving the congratulation of his friends.
 To Woods for sheriff was re elect ed the gentleman Icing the most popular officer now in office.
 w. B. Woods, candidate for the clerkship Of the Superior C"url wins by d walk away.
 Barnett Stiles and R. C. Cres- well, c. c..ndidates for Supervisor, both dtm ,crats, Seem to have been elected although the re- turns as far as received show sDme uoubt about Mr Cresweil
 All in all the democrats have gained 4 signal victory and have shown Mir. Taft that they do not think much of his dicta- tion.
 The recall proposition being voted out The legislature is de mocratic and when the work of revising the laws Is iscomplete and the business ofinformally electing the Senators Is done there will be an amendment offered for the recall of Judges and Mr. Taft S opinion on the matter will not be given consideration. In fact, the Presidents veto of the recall made it stronger in Arizona than anything else could have placed 1t.
