The expense of running the financial affairs of the county de pends to great extent upon the foresight and intelligence of the county attorney, and too much care cannot be exercised in placing the right kind of a man in that position, and Wilson is that man.

Jos. M. Holub for County Superin.
 tendent of Schools


 It is hardly necessary to intro duce this young man to the voters of Coconino county. He has for some time past served the people of Williams as judge of the police court, and it was due to his able and fearless administration of this office that the criminal and vicious element which for the past three years has infested this section was put to route, and Williams re- turned to clean and we'll governed towns. Judge Holub is teacher and 8 lawyer, educated, and we'll qualified for the position to which he has been nominated. His can didacy should appeal to those who wish high standard of efficiency in public office.
 Nothing could be said at this time that would add one iota to the reputation of T. E. Pulliam candidate for sheriff. MT. Pulliam has held office in Coconino county and his record bespeaks your sup port. For the past five years he has filled the office of undersheriff, and thereby qualified himself for the office which he seeks. There is no man within the borders of Co., conino county better fitted for the office of sheriff than T. E. Pulliam.

Bathgate, N. D., July 1.--Evidence
that has been adduced in the hearing
of Ernest A. Stewart, the former inn

the morning, four men drove down an
alley in Neche, one of the men be-
ing recognized as Gymm by his voice.
That on the night in question a rig
was stopped in front Of the detention
building, two men entering and later
coming out again and driving away.
this happening about 2 o'clock also.
That Gymm, in a conversation two
or three days later, denied having
been engaged in carrying someone on
the night Of Worralrs disappearance.
but afterwards said that it was some
drunken stiff"
That two men were seen carrying
third on the night of the disappear
ance.
That the hole through which Wor-
rail- is supposed to have escaped. was
too small to allow anybody to pass
through it.
