OBITUARY.
RESOLUTIONS BY The SESSION
Of leakesviIIe Presbyterian Church.
Commemorative Of Mrs. Matte Ferguson.

Died at her home in Leakesville,
Greene County, Miss, on the oath
day of November, A. D., 1911, Mrs.
Matte Ferguson, wife of Rev. A. G..
Ferguson, pastor of the Presbyterian
Church at this place. With her hus-
bond she leavesfour children to mourn
the loss of a devoted wife, and a kind,
tender and affectionate mother.
Resolved, by the Session of the
Church, that in the death of Sister
| Ferguson, the Church lost one OF her
most staunch, diligent and untiring
members. True to her duty at all
times, and willing to sacrifice her
self interest, in order to advance the
interest of religion. The husband
has lost his main stay in his PASTORAL
work he has also lost devoted chris
tian helper in his arduous labors,
both religious and pecuniary. There
can be no estimate of the childrens'
loss, her dealing with them was kind,
gentle and affectlonate, but firm,
consequently the world can plainly
see the impression made on these
children by this untiring and devoted
christian mother; although, they are
still young and we sincerely trust
that they will never loose sight or
interest in the training of that faith
full and devoted mother, for in so do
ing we believe that they will surely
meet her in the eternal home, where
parting is not known and trouble
never enters.
1t is further resolved, that it will
be we'll for all of us. who knew her.
to take her Cody life as an example
in our future work in this life. If
we do there can be no doubt that our
life and conduct, would be greatly
improved and how much brighter
our light would shine before the
world, and sinners could see that
there is reality in the religion of
our Christ. Peace and love would
reign in our midst; and the Church
would prosper. 1t is natural for the
friends and relatives to mourn the
loss of such one, but we have left
with us her noble example, which
should be light to our paths, while
IN this world, and if we follow the
example faithfully thus left, we feel
that our reward is sure.
Then let us not mourn but be pa
tlent. and follow in her foot steps,
and if we do, at some future dav,
God will show us why he took her so
early in life, and in tire prime of use
funess, thea we will know, that He
doeth all things we'll, and for our
good.

Is This Legal Prosecution?

A warrant from the Federal Court
was served on Tyra j. Roberts this
city Wednesday by the U. S. Mar
shall. in which he is charged with
using the mails fraudulently. This
is scheme of some large commercial
firms in distant states to use the fed
eral postal statutes to crush this
young man for some youthful indie
secretion in business connected with
the making out of financial rating
for the deceased corporate firm, Rob
erts- Beard & Co. The Herald has
no sympathy fsr such perverted use
of the federal law, though we believe
that young men embarking on bust
ness enterprises can not be too care
full in the conducting thereof where
outside capital is drawn into the ven
ture. We trust and believe Tyra
will come clear of this matter, as he
has shown since his firm went down
that he is promising and straight
young man trying to build himself
up again in the world.

Evelyn Briggs Baldwin, explorer q
polar regions, who has come to 6an
Francisco 20 perfect the financial
arrangements necessary for launching
the enterprise. He has given his-
self two years to complete his prep
arations, which include the building
Of a specially designed ship, and en-
poets 20 start on the long jaurnsy
in 1918.
Baldwin is convinced that there il
undiscovered land in the polar 70
gions, and that II will be found o.
the starbosrd side Of his course.
A modern feature of the proposed
Baldwin expedition will be wireless

ship as II is swept at the snail's
pae Of the Arctic ice across the
dreary wastes Of the stop o. the

For years Baldwin has been the
recognized exponent Of the theory
that the ice Of the -Polar seas drifts
constantly in the direction Of the
hands of clock. He will wedge his
ship in the vast floes Of ice on the
northern edge Of the Behring see,
establish himself comfortably for =
four.year siesta, intrcnched ABBOTT
with stores piled high on the floss
sufficient to last during the losg
trip. II is his belief that by enter
ing the ice fields st the proper pcist
the inevitable drift will carry him
directly across the geographical pole,
or near enough to reach II by .
short side expedition.
"The principal feature of my en-
pcdition," said Baldwin yesterday
at the Argonsut Hotel. sis that Il

for the ship have been drawn b.

PIONEER OFFICER
WELCOMED TO
PRESCOTT
Daring Indian Fighter
Guest of Old-Time
Friends
Wrom Fridays Daily.)

j. W. Bonnie, consulting engineer
Of tho shannon Copper Company, the
Arizona Commercial Mining Company,
and its subsidiary corporations, nc.
companied by Col. NJ. J. Egan, Of
Clifton and Charles Kumpke, con.
sulting engineer Of the Mines De-
velopment Company, operating the
old Zonia properties at Placerita,
arrived In Prescott yesterday. Mr..
Bonnie and Colonel Egan recently
inspected the interests Of the Mines
Development Company, where exploit
tation Is being conducted by two
churn drills. This proposition was re
vived short time ago.
Mr.. Bonnie has a wide range Of
interests in his responsible position,
10 occupy his time, which covers
probably the greatest copper and
gold interests in the southwest.
Col. Egan's visit is a noteworthy
one for this is his first trip to Pres.
cott since 1885. He is one Of Ari.
zona's foremost citizens. Time has
not changed this pioneer in his old
time fellowship, and the welcome e1
tended him yesterday by many friends
attests 20 his popular citizenship.
In recalling other days, Col. Egan
was reminded Of one official inciden,
in his life that time nearly obliterat
ed from his memory, that Of the
outbreak Of Geronimo from the Sar
Carlos reservation in 1885. Leaving
Prescott is February that year, Col
Egan was commissioned NJ eolone
on the staff Of the late Governo
If. A. Tritle, which honor was re
garded as n social honor rather thar
a full fiedged officer on duty. Col
Egan refused the appointment, bu
when Gov. Tritle stated that he di
not desire the services Of any decora
tors for ballroom occasions, the visi
tor withdrew his resignation and lief
for home to 90 on the firing line
as il were. A few months afte
reaching Clifton, Geronimo came int
the country, on a raid when Co
Egan enlisted two companies OF III
national guard and was at their hes
in the memorable pursuit that 10
lowed for several days. Throug
the sagaeity Of Col. Egan and b
, prompt action, there is no questio
but what his command saved III
I lives Of many farmers and othe
exposed along the path Of the fhgi
I fthe Apache TO Mexico. For tn
, heroic conduct, Col. Egan became Vel
! much endcared 10 every Arizons
E and the memory Of his splendid fic
. work with raw men summoned at
Y moments notice will be cherished &
Z many years.
Col. Egan has remained At Chft'

STRANGER WORKS
GOLD BRICK GAME.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Another "easy money" artist has

hackneyed gold brick game. Watts
IS the name given by the tender oil

have fallen into the net and are

were skillfully manufactured. His
manners and personal appearance har'
monized and he had easy sailing.
watts left the city Immediately
after he secured the coin, and had
reached Jerome Junction, when his
game was exposed by an analytical
test made Of the two grades OF ore

were pronounced worthless.

TWO POLITICIANS
COME TO BLOWS
Fist Fight Ensues Between M. G. Burns
And Henry F. Ashurst Over
The Senatorship
(From Thursday's Dsily.)

diff Bangl Bling!
These were the echoes Of the three
angry blows that were struck yes
terday afternoon rs the result Of n
wordy encounter between Henry +.
Ashurst, lawyer and candidate for
u. s. Senator, and M. G. Burns, min.
ing promoter and ex.member Of the
Legislature.
The cngagement-or, as IL might
more properly be termed, the open.
ing gun Of the coming political cam.
paign incident to the Statehood cleo
ton took place in the corridor Of
the upper floor Of the Lawlcr block,
where the eloquent attorney has his
offices. He met Burns and confront.
ing him boldly, exclaimed: "Mike,
/ understand that you are opposing
my candidacy for the Senatorship
and that you are declaring that I
am not In the race
Burns, IL is said, finally confessed
that he had given expression to such
sentiments, and Ashurst hotly re.
torted:
rhsn, Ar, I can conceive Of no
higher honor than TO bs opposed by
a scountrsl hke you!
That was the signal for hostilities.
Burns, according to an eyewitness,
shot out his trusty right and II land
ed on the attorneys face. Mr.. Ash
urst promptly retaliated with right
and left uppercut, and Burns, It said,
lost further interest In the proceed'
ings. The attorney did not follow
up his advantage, as he is younger
man and Of athletic build, and did
not care, so it is reported, to make
mincemeat out Of his antagonist.
Neither of the comhatants showed
