DREHER, Pa, March 1.-THE

and enough of it remains to last for
some time. unless there is radical
change in the temperature. Heavy
hauling on the public roads is a trifle
dangerous, owing to the icy surface
in many places and as a conse-
Quence, there isn't much doing. We
have already had four months of
real winter and if the coon theory"
works out as prophesied, there is
still some winter weather due us,
and if we leave the coon out of the
weather question altogether, We'll be
about as sure Of cold weather.

TIM FOR YOU," SAYS MIR. WEBB, OF GRAHAM,
 10 COLONEL WEED|N

And now the news comes up from the south that w. T. Webb, business man, politician, orator, and member of the late constitutional convention has come out body, boots and brooches for Col. Thomas F. Weedin, of Flor ence for the democratic nomination for governor of Arizona.
 Webb has written tO Weedin, of fering his support. This letter says:
 "I am with you heart and soul My time and means are yours to com mand. I think of nothing that would give me greater pleasure than to see you the first governor of the state of Arizona"
 Mir Webb will be readily recalled by every one who watched the con vention proceedings last fall. He was one of the men to whom the famous Bailey telegram was sent and was made the object of a better att tack by the socialistic wing of the democratic representation because he sought to follow the advice given by the Texas Senator.
 It is also said that Wiley Jones, of Graham county, will support Col. Weedin's candidacy.

First Officials May Gel Longer Terms
  MAY SERVE THREE YEARS
Bugaboo of 12 Months
 tenure seems to have been Dispelled by Lucky Dis covery Made by Prescott Lawyers.

Prescott attorneys are making the claim that under the provisions of the constitution state and county officers chosen at the coming election will held office for three years instead of one year ds has been generally suppOset, and an examination of the provisions relating to this matter would seem to bear out that view of the case.
 Provision for the first general cleo ton is made by Section II of Article seven of the constitution, which reads as follows:
 There shall be a general election Of rep. .esentative in Congress, and of state. county and precinct officers on the first Tuesday after the first Mon day in November of the first even numbered year after the year in which Arizona is admitted to statehood, and Diennially thereafter
 It has been generally assumed that the frs: set of officers chosen will serve but a single year; but the truth seems to oC that they will serve three years instead of one. Governor Sloan has fixed December F, as the date for the first election. Following that event an interval will elapse before the state canvassing board does it's work, which will be about December 27 or 2S. The result of the election will then be cer- tified to by President Taft at Wash ington and a week will be required for the transmission of the documents; so it seems certain the Presidents proc lamation admitting Arizona into the union cannot be made until some date early in January, 1912.
 Now. what is the result? Admission will occur in an even numbered year, land the constitution says the general election shall occur in November of the first even numbered year after the year in which Arizona is admitted tO statehood. which would be 1914. The officers elected in 1914 will take office the first Monday in January, 1915. and under this provision of the ccnsttu- ton those elected this winter will serve until that time.
 It Is true there is another revision of the constitution which says the terms of all such officers shall end on the first Monday of January 1913. or when their successors are elected and qualified. And under the section quoted above it has been seen that no provision is made for the election of those successors prior to November. 1914. or three years from the date Of the coming election.

EXPERTS TELL
 THEIR STORY Prisoners Case Is Slightly Strengthened ANOTHER WITNESS FOUND Boy is Said to Have Been
 Near Scene of the Crime
 When Young Mrs. Beattie
 Was Foully Murdered
 With Shotgun.
ANOTHER WITNESS FOUND

Chesterfield, Va, Sept 1-Henry Clay Beattie. indicted for wife mur-
 der. did not take the stand today in
 his own behalf as was expected, but
 the assertion was made just before court adjourned that the defense would conclude its case tomorrow with the prisoners testimony. Court will be de- layed in the morning by taking the deposition of Mrs. NJ. c. Stager. who
 is at home near the scene of the crime and who, il is claimed, saw the alles ed bearded highwayman proving
 around the day of the murder The testimony today was perfunctory Sev- eral women friends of the accuseds
 dead wife. testified the couple lived happily together. Except for an i'm promptu admission by Douglas Beat tie, brother of the accused. that he iwould have destroyed evidences of mur- der had he known his brother was to
 be accused of the crime. the most in teresting development of the day was
 the discovery of new witness by the defense-Joseph Caselberg. of Rich mond, who it has been rumored for some time has had mysterious know ledge of the case.
 He is reported tO have been on the
 Midlothian turnpike with another per son about the same time the murder occurred, and Is supposed to be the man who stopped to crank the ma chine and was seen by a group of boys on their way from dance at Bon Air.
 The question whether Mrs. Beattie was shot while standing on the running board or in the road. or. as her hus- band insists, while she sat on the front ! seat on his left was again raised to- day when several automobile experts [ testified that a large pcod of blood. such as was found at the scene of ! the crime. could have triCkled through
 the machinery of the car and flowed from the drip pan underneath and then ! to the ground
 The testimony of the experts is in lline with the contention also that blood
 dripped from the machine at many places from the scene of the crime to
 the Owen home in Richmond. to which the young husband took his dead wife. The defense introduced score of Witnesses to attack various other de- tails in the evidence of the prosecu- tion. and tomorrow it is expected the prisoner will make an emphatic con Itradiction of his cousin Paurs entire testimony, clinging to his story told
 at the coroners inquest that bearded highwayman murdered his wife and
 that he took no part in any transac-
 ton concerning the purchase of a shot ' gun.
