Taxpayers Meeting.

Last Tuesday evening there was a large outpouring of the taxpayers of Kingman mingled with the taxpayers from other parts of the county, who were in attendance on the jury session of the court, having been called to- gether for the purpose of talking over the proposed issue of bonds for new courthouse. Anson H. Smith was chosen as chairman of the meeting and 1. J. Whitney secretary. Many tax payers from various points in the county made talks favorable to the bond issue, holding that county is judged by It's public buildings. The meeting was most enthusiastic, the people apparently rising to the neces- sity Of lining up on the progressive side of the issue. If ever county needed a courthouse that county is old Mohave, and every man at the meeting voiced this sentiment. From Hack berry, Chloride, Sandy, Oatman, Gold, road and other points came assurance that one and all would go to the polls on next Saturday and cast their vote for the issuance of the necessary bonds to meet the expense of new county building.
 A meeting appointed committee to prepare literature on the subject to send out to all the voters, that they might be we'll informed on the subject when they went to the polls. It was estimated that there would be some- thing over three hundred eligible voters in the county, the greater part of those whose names were on the tax roll being nonresident taxpayers. The issue of bonds would only entail an expense of ten cents on the one hundred dollars of taxable property, so the taxpayer would not be hit hard by the proposed issue of bonds. Mohave county has over 5,000,000S of taxable property and is constantly growing in wealth. It is estimated that next year the roll will see more than 6,O00,O00S of assessable property and that the following year will show as great an increase. As the list grows taxes will show a corresponding decrease. No one having the welfare of the county at heart will fail to cast his vote for the bond issue. It is necessity that must be apparent to every one that visits the county seat. The present building cannot house the present officers of the county, nor is there any vaults to protect the splen- did records thattell the history of the county during the past forty eight years. No selfrespecting taxpayer will let the matter of few dollars ad dtional tax stand in the way of handsome county structure and the present disgraceful shack that the people call their courthouse.

John w. Ward has made application

John w. Ward has made application for homestead to his big ranch on the Sandy. This ranch is one of the oldest in the county, having been in use for more than forty years. The place was known as the Owens ranch, originally, but later passed into the hands of Gideon Cornell and others. It is in, a high state of cultivation.
 A proposition has been made to the people of the State of Arizona that if they will put up the necessary money to meet the expense a big herd of elk will be removed from the Yellowstone National Park to the Grand Canyon forest reserve, north of the Canyon in, Coconino and Mohave counties. The cost would be slight, while the intro- duction of the elk would be an added attraction to the big game preserve. The State ought to find way to make. the investment.

Death of John E. Jamieson.

John E. Jamieson, one of the oldest miners of the county, died at the Soldiers home, at Sawtelle, California, last Sunday, being buried in the government graveyard at the Home the following day with military honors. His funeral was attended by some of the old soldiers from Mohave county, who happened to learn of his demise.
 Mr. Jamieson came to this county more than thirty years ago and engag- ed in mining at Layne Springs, where he located and operated the Rip Van Wrinkle mine. After selling the prop erty he mined in various parts of the county, having some property at El- dorado canyon. Nevada. He was af- ficted a few years ago with cancer and this eventually ended his life. The past year or tv-o he was an inmate of the SoldIer's Home. He was splen, did fellow, generous, cheerful and panionable. No one knows if he left relatives, but the host of friends in this county will mourn his death sincerely.

Superior Court.

Last Monday Superior Judge Carl
 G. krook empaneled grand jury and
 the work of the Jury session of the court was on. The grand jury con- cluded it's work during the day, re- turning indictments against George
 Feagles on charge of murder, and ignored several bills against Mexicans charged with grand larceny and burglary.
 After exhausting the regular panel of trial jurors special venire brought in enough Jurymen to complete the panel in the matter of Feagles case and the trial was completed Thursday afternoon by a verdict of not guilty Feagles, last May, shot to death an old Mexican sheep herder, at Hack. berry. The murder appeared to be premeditated and without provocation, but at the trial witnesses swore that when Feagles approached the camp of the Mexican that the latter picked up a shotgun anu raised it as though about to shoot, when in self defense Feagles raised hls rifle and fired three shots, two of which took effect. The statement of the MeXicans in camp at the time of the shooting to the effect that the murdered man never raised the gun and that when Feagles saw the old man lying on the ground dying he turned his gun on the others and asked them if any of them wanted to light, was dlsregarded. It would ap- pear that no matter how lowly the life of man may be it is as dear to hlm as is the life of any one among the exalted, and that life is entitled to the protection of the law. The people are the law, and it is to them that each and all must appeal in time of need. Juries owe higher duty to society than that of sympathy to an accused murderer, and while we believe that no harsh sentences should be neted out, we do believe that crime of this character should not go unpunished. Were d judge to allow his sympathy for defendant, or for ltigant tc overrun his judgment. as in the case of juries, how long, think you. would he remain on the bench.
 So far only few civil causes have been arrived at, the time of the court having been taken up with the crimi- nal matters. Yesterday jury was empaneled in the cause of Grelle Vs. Fancher, the famous COW case, and al verdict is looked for sometime this afternoon. It is expected that a jury will be empaneled today in the case of the Menlo Mining company Vs. Henry Lovin and others, suit to quiet title to mining property in the Secret Pass section.

Next Monday the board of super visors will canvass the result of the primary election and certify the re- suit to the Secretary of State. So little interest was taken in the contest that so far it has been impossible to learn the rtsult in any of the outside precincts. The vote appeared to have been less than fifty per cent of the total registered vote in the various precincts. while in some no polls were held.

Washington, May 25-When The
odore Roosevelt tossed his hat into
the ring less than three months ago
there was begun a fight for the pres
idential nomination that promises to
cost not much less than $2,O0O,O0O.
Roosevelt delegates have cost on
an average OF $4,000 each. Four
hundred and twenty-seyen procured
thus far have cost more than 81,
100000. At this date, if the $40
needed to obtain the republican pres
idential nomination are obtained, the
campaign expense bills will foot up
to 81 100000 and perhaps more.
Nearly Sl,5OO,OO has been spent
to date. Roosevelt speakers have av-
eraged in cost 500 per speech. The
army of workers in the field in Hi
nois, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,,
Maryland, Nebraska and Missouri has
cost in proportion.
In Illinois the fight for the selec-
tiOn of Roosevelt for the &. o. p.
choice for president cost $3.50, 900.
In Massachusetts 1t cost $50, 900, and
in New York sos, 900.
Immediately following the much
discussed night trip of George w.
Perkins to oyster Bay to see Colonel
Roosevelt, the Roosevelt campaign
headquarters sprang into existence as
| if by magic.
There is red tape surrounding ev-
erything and everybody within the
scores of private offices that make up
the headquarters.
Everybody connected with the
Roosevelt headquarters in the Mum
sey building has a private office, eN-
cept the negro doorman. Senator
Dixon is in charge; but, before he
can be reached, the visitor has to
run the gauntlet of miles of red tape.
Figures showing the cost of the
Roosevelt campaign are startling.
The postage-stamp bills for mailing
| literature in eight states has been
$4,000. Telegraph tolls have been
$4,000, and telephone tolls as much.
In printing and lithographing the
campaign will cost 100000, while
the weekly plate service to newspa-
pers will add another $500 or
| 100000. Tons of literature have
been expressed at a cost of $4,000.
The Washington headquarters cost
| $4,000 a day, and there are nearly
80 days yet to run before the con-
vention. New York and Chicago also
have Roosevelt headquarters.
Workers for the cause of Roose-
welt are paid from $5 to S25 per day
There were 1900 workers in Illinois,
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Massachu-
sets, Missouri and Nebraska. In one
ward in Baltimore 147 men were
working at the same time.
Whether Roosevelt gets the NOM
| nation or not, his campaign will cost
nearly 81 100000. If he lands the
desired $40 delegates before the con-
vention, the cost probably will not
be less than $1,G20,O0O, and perhaps
| $2,000,0OO.

W|FE's TALE WINS
DIVORCE FOR HER
Mrs. Hugh Corby Fox Is Freed.
from Husband by Reno
Court.

RENO, New, April 5.-Margaret Hit
Fox. formerly Margaret Hit, Of Chi
cago, was granted a divorce yesterday
from Hugh Corby Fox, a wealthy
manufacturer Of railroad supplies, OF
New York city. The grounds were de-
sertion and cruelty. Mrs, Fox was
given the custody of their 4-year-old
child, for whom Fox made a bitter
fight. She was also granted $3.50 &
month alimony, $40 a month for the
child and $500 for attorneys fees. Fox
was ordered to pay all court costs.
Mrs. Fox was on the stand three
hours and gave sensational testimony,
the climax coming when she asserted
that her husband insisted on her sub
hitting to advances from various men
at their home, In order that her hus-
bands business interests be furthered.
When she resented the insults and
asked her husband for protection he
assured her that everything was all
right and that he was making much
money as a result, she said. She also
said that her husband frequently be-
came intoxicated while entertaining
guests at their home on Staten Island,
used vile epithets and conducted him
self generally in such fashion that the
guests left the house.
The couple were married in 1905. Mrs.
Fox left her husband in 1870. when he
refused to live with her. Previously
he had ordered her bedroom eugnish-
ings moved into the cellar.
A paper which her husband asked
her to sign was introduced as evidence.
This was to the effect that she would
permit her husband to have relations
with other women. She refused to
sign 1t.
