Lamar Cobb, who is a candidate for
the nomination as congressman from
Arizona, was in the city Saturday, on
his was to northern Arizona, to tell
the democrats how important 1t is to
them to vote for him at the primary
election. Arizona's primary election
law makes 1t an expensive thing to
be a candidate for Office, especially a
territorial office. The candidate has
to travel all over the territory to in
terview the voters of his party, and
he has to travel alone, because the
other candidates who want the same
Office could not help him. The COM
mon people Of the democratic party
have discovered that they were hand
ed a lemon when this primary cleo
ton law was passed, for only a'man
with a large bundle can make the
campaign, Luckily Mr.. Cobb is a
rich man, and can afford to make the
struggle. The law was passed by a
democratic legislature, and signed by
Governor Kibby, a republican, who
told the committees that went to urge
him to sign 1t, that he could gladly
dose, as he knew nothing that would
give the democratic party more trou-
BILE, in the long run, than would this
primary election law.

The republican caucus to select del
egates to attend the republican coun-
ty convention was held in the bank
parlors Tuesday night, and was we'll
attended. An innovation in proceed
ure was observed. For some years 1t
has been impossible to get a full del
egation to attend county conventions,
and many Of the votes were cast by
proxy: 1t was desired to get out a
delegation, and so before any selec-
tions we're made inquiries we're made
as to who would attend the conven'
ton, If selected. The following men
were elected delegates, all of whom
agreed to attend: j. T. McCabe, DR..
NJ. NJ. Croker, John Augustine, S. NJ,
Chase, j. II. HOllen, w. f. Ritter,
d. II. Kedzie, +. r. Coon, and A. w,
Morningstar. After the delegates
were selected there was a general con-
sultation on political affairs, and it
was decided that this section of the
county is entitled to representation
on the ticket, and the delegates to
the convention were instructed to
present the name Of John t. McCabe,
for the nomination as one OF the rep.

The trial Of Mackey for killing En-
glish, in the lower end OF the county
resulted in the acquital Of Mackey.
The main witness for the people Car
ter, the man who saw IL all, told
about the same story as did Mackey
Of the killing. Some twenty years
ago Slaughter took out a water right
on a spring, the right covering 800
acres Of land. He sold this to Mackey
who lead the water from the spring
into a reservoir, and irrigated a few
acres Of land on which he had some
fruit trees. English and Carter came
with some goats, Carter owned the
most Of them, and English was hand
ling them on shares. The goats
trampled up the bitches, and stopped
the water from coming down. Mac
key consulted a lawyer, who told him
that as IL was unsurveyed ground no
could not homestead IL, but he could
fence in 100 acres and claim IL as a
homestead, and when 1t was surveyed
he could locate his homestead. He
hesitated about doing this, as he
thought there would be trouble as
soon as he commenced fencing. But
finally concluded he would have to do
it for self protection. He got the
material for the fence, and went to
the spring to commence his work, and
there met Carter. the owner Of the
goats. They talked the matter over,
and finally made a deal by which Car
ter vas to give him some corrals he
had there, and he was to put in a
gate and let the goats water there I'M
I'll it rained, and then they would
move the goats. All was amicable
between them, and about the time
they got ready to put it In writing
English came up. When he heard
what was to be done he refused, and
pulled his gun, and snapped at Mac
key. This was where he made his
mistake, for Mackey is a man who
will defend himself, and he common
ced shooting, and his gun did not
snap, and English died. 1t was found
that English's gun had three shells in
It that had been hit with the hammer,
and had not exploded. Notwithstand-
ing he was acquitted Mackey is tinan-
cfally ruined. He had to sell his
place to pay the expenses Of the trial.

there's anything wrong with his kidneys.
Usually the most noticeable symptoms
which first appear are far from the seat OF

nervousness, for instance, he never thinks Of

Even the aching back and sides, rheuna-

sore, infamed muscles, he may consider In

colored or cloudy urine, too frequent or too

such disorders.

was formed for his assassination. Yet,
undisturbed by praise or hate. he con-

1.-THE Sauganash" was his Indian
title. He was better known to red
and white men alike as Capt Billy
Caldwell" He was half Pottawato-
mie, half white. His immediate ma
tionality was even more mixed than
his ancestry. On his mothers side he
came of the bluest Pottawatomie In
dian stock. His father was an Irish
officer. He was brought up French
man, received captaincy from the
British government. and was a civic
official in the United States. First
and last. however. by his own choice.
he remained an Indian chief.
Caldwell was born in 1880 in Can
ada. AS child he fell under the
wise, kindly influence of the Detroit
Jesuits. From them he received an
excellent education and became mas
ter of both the French and English
languages in addition to his knowl-
edge Of many native Indian dialects.
When only lad he met the great

self as that Shawnee spellbinder's ad-
mirer and disciple. The two we're dear
friends until Tecumseh's death. But
the Shawnee could never Undue Cald-
well with his bitter hatred against the
white men. Although Caldwell pro-
claimed himself loyal Indian he
could never, wholly forget that he was
half English. He fought for the Brit
ish against the United States In the
war of 1919 Rising rapidly in rank
he became captain In Great Britain's
Indian department" Though he
lived In the United States after the
war was over. he never renounced his
allegiance to the British crown. He
held once under our government, but
was proudest Of his rank OF captain In
England's army. Apart from this cap
taincy. he was also chief Of the Of
tawas and the Pottawatomies.
The Chicago Massacre.
Caldwell is said by some historians
to have been fiercest Of the Indian as
sailants at the Chicago massacre" in
1912. Others say he refused to take
part in the conflict.
When the prisoners there who had
escaped the hatchets and rifles of the
attacking Indians were dragged to an
open square for torture and death,
Caldwell hurled himself between them
and their bloodthirsty captors. BY
pleas. threats and cejolery he saved
many OF the helpless prisoners from
the fate that usually overlook such
unfortunates AZ fell into hostile In

Henceforth, Caldwell was known az

WEIGHING MACHINE FOR NAVY
Porhydrometer VIII Tell Dead Weight
Of Ships Cargo at
Any Time.

A porhydrometer Is to be installed
on the Neptune, the newest collier
built for the navy, for experimental
purposes. The secretary Of the navy
has just authorized an expenditure of
about $4,000 for that purpose. A por-
hydrometer is an apparatus designed
to weigh with the utmost accuracy
the dead weight placed on board or
removed from any ship, barge or other
floating vessel to which-it is fitted 1t
is based on the principle that body
floating In liquid oil, whatever den
sity displaces a quantity of the liquid
exactly equal to its own weight. BY
its application vessel Is transformed
into gigantic weighing machine. Any
thing added to or removed from its
cargo is accurately recorded by the
machine in accordance with its
weight in pounds. That applies to hui
man beings as well as other freight,
80 that the absene of single pas
senger or member OF the crew of
vessel or the addition Of another per-
son is recorded.
The weighing Is done by means OF
an barometer connected with vertic-
al tube fitted in the center Of the YES
sci and extending from well below the
water line to well above the load line.
This tube Is connected by pipe with
the outside shell of the vessel so that
when the valve or cock is opened the
water in which the vessel is floating
has free access to the vertical tube
and rises In 1t to exactly the same
level as outside the vessel.
In case the apparatus does all that
is claimed for 1t. 1t will be Of great
value In the handling Of coal for naval
vessels and In the settlement Of dis
putes about the quantity OF coal
shipped on naval Golfers and deliv-
cred to other naval vessels or at for
eign stations.

loosa. When you next hear from US
the Creek fort there will be In smoul-
dering ruins"
Again did Pushmataha make good
his boast. For he not only captured
and burned the Creek fort at Tusca-
loosa, but attacked the Seminole and
Creek allies of the British with such
fury as to win battle after battle from
them. From the government troops he
learned the science Of military discip-
line. He applied this learning to his
own lawless followers with SO firm
hand that he soon had welded them
into splendid body of soldiers. He
incidentally won from frontier officers
the nickname of 1.-THE Indian Gen.
eral."
He led 500 Indians and was In ac-
tive service throughout the whole war.
Most of the time he was under Gen.
Andrew Jackson's orders. and he took
part in no less than twenty-four
fights.
When II came to signing a notable
treaty between his people and the gov.
eminent In 1920 he displayed genius
for craftsmanship and shrewd diplo-
matte wisdom that amazed the presi-
dents agents. Gen. Jackson. who
himself was noted for sharp diplo-
macy. Is said to have confessed then
that In Pushmataha he had met his
match at bargain-driving. He said
later. "Pushmataha is the bravest.
greatest Indian have ever known"
Four years afterward another Choc-
taw treaty was negotiated. This time
Pushmataha insisted on coming In
person to Washington. He sent word
to President Monroe:
Il desire to brighten the chains OF
peace between the Americans and the
Choctaws."
A Visit Of state.
So to Washington he came. There
he was received with high honors by
president and cabinet. He visited
Gen. Lafayette. saw the sights Of civ
ilization and met with an ovation that
would have turned the brain of a les
ser man. Through It all the stately
old Indian preserved his lofty dignity
OF maner. He allowed none of the be-
wildering new experiences to amaze
or disturb him. He was as one mon.
arch visiting another.
But the visit killed him. He fell Ill
in Washington. and on Dec, "a. 1924.
died there He knew he was dying.
His last(request was that he be buried
with the honors accorded to officers
Of high rank and that cannon be fred
over his grave.
His wishes were carried out In ev.
cry respect He was laid to rest In
the Congressional cemetery.
