bidding farewell to Miss Jones, who | left for Phoenix.
 ! Clerk of the Board of Supervisors 1 R. S Maclay is having the time of | his life now that his wife is visiting with friends at Globe for a shor: time. He had pictured to himself | how he would make coffee, hot biscuit, cake. and other good things like his mother used to make and every man knows how useless it is to learn to make these things when 1t is so easy. And really all a man needs at this work. is a bowl, knife and spoon and magic does the rest. A doctor has not yet been called but it is only a question of time when he will be. The Tombstone graduates from the eighth grade who were given dF plomas last Tuesday as a reward for their earnest endeavor on their ad- vaucement in their scholastic work were Nellie Brandt, Basile Holland, Vera C. Smith, Franklyn c. Ivey and Willie King.
 Miss Gladys Woods, who has at. tended Shells seminary at Oakland. Cal. arrived in Tombstone to attend the wedding of II. NJ. Woods, her father and Mrs. Emma Harrington. Mir. and Mrs. Woods have a host Of friends in this city who wish them all happiness along life's journey.
 Mrs. F. NJ. Doan is visiting in this city before starting for visit during the summer at her old home in Pike county. Missouri. She will be ac.
 
 neice, who has been teaching in the Douglas public schools, and her grandson Lachane, son of Frank Doan.
 Mayor-elect J. s. Williams Of Bis bee was in Tombstone last week re ceiving congratulations of a host O. friends here, for be was a former Tombstone resident and is equally well known throughout the county Mayor Williams has served Cochise county as supervisor for two terms and has kept his popularity.
 Judge O'Conner of Florence who IS presiding judge here in the Gieesou- Costello and other cases, in which Judge Sutter is disqualified, is a wei known Arizonian and an able jurist Stately in bearing, courteous and kindly. He is a boon to jurymcD who these hot days, are allowed to sit in the jury box without their coats a privilege never granted before al this court. His fairness and keen iu' dicial knowledge commands respect and accounts for his universal popu larity and the high esteem in which he is held throughout Arizona.
 Tombstone is an enthusiastic Clarh supporter. A Champ Clark club was organized last week at the City hal and will affiliate with the national or ganization and state clubs to promote the interest in the coming democratic standard bearer and help carry his banner to victory.
 A committee comprising Owen l. Murphy, W F. Kuckenbecker and R s. Maclay were named to draft by laws to be submitted at the next meet. ing of the club, June 4th, when a fuli Icomplement of officers will be elected. At the meeting the roll was signed by those present and a hustling com mittee, on enrolment of charter mem bers was selected in the persons of George Bravin, Oscar Coll and Sec ! retary Arthur Ivey.

 sno Mrs Peter ]. Thompson.
 SAVANNAH, Ga. June I:-Farted from his young wife and baby daugh- ter in war times and eXiled from Sa. vannah by order of General Sherman. Peter J. Thompson, wGnderer extra ordinary, has returned to his native state for the first time in forty-sev- en years. His story rivals in drama. tic interest that of Enoch Arden, for like Tennyson's famous character he returned to find the wife of his youth happily married to another
 After leaving Georgia in the clos ing days of war, Thompson went to Kansas. He barely escaped death in a cyclone. Then he settled on an Ohio farm, and was just b eginning to earn a competence when his barns and granaries burned. He opened a little store in another state, and lost his all in another fire. Then he tramped and peddled over the whole of the west and middle west, selling trees and lightning rods II was while living among the feudists of the Kentucky mountains that Thompson grew homesick He wanted to know before he died what had be. come of his wife and child. He wanted to die in Georgia
 He worked his way across the in- tervening states and came at last to Pembroke But ali the friends oi his youth had disappeared. Many Oi the old families were broken up. The little slabs in the churchyard told him where many of the people he had known had gone. The graves of his father and mother he found there No trace of his wife and child could he find. A change acquaintance told him that his sister was married and living in Savannah and he came here
 He found his sister Mrs. L. A. Schuman. after some difficulty. From

her he learned that his wife. after giving him up for dead. had married again. and, w>~ her daughter. also now married, was living at Blichton. He went to Blichton, and spent a day with his daughter and his former wife, now Mrs. Berry Jones, the statue of limitations having long since deprived Thompson of any rights as her husband Through the medium of pictures and other me mentos of her babyhood he pursuaded his daughter of his identity Then he turned his back upon what was once his family. and returned to take up his residence with his sister.
 Then a remarkable thing hap pened. There are two families liy- ing In the house occupied by Mrs Sohuman. While passing through the hall one day an aged woman, who was living with the family above, saw him

Wholesale Killings are Suspected
In Resort at West Hammond,
Near Chicago
YOUNG WOMAN is ARRESTED
Believed She Knows More of
Crimes Than Already Told


Chicago, Sept. 6.-Miss Francis Ford,
whose eighty page revelation of vice
in the village of West Hammond, H.,
is expected to be the basis for the
prosecution of an alleged vice ring" In
that town, today Is recovering from
nervous breakdown.
Coroner Hoffman has ordered his
deputies to seek information to sub
stantiate the allegations made by the
Ford girl who was an inmate of the
resort of Henry Foss, at whose place
Henry Messmaker. an alleged victim
of poison, died. The coroner declared
he believed the girl has not told all
she knew, and warrant for the arr
rest of the young woman was issued
today by the county Judge under her
real name. which is said to be Mrs.
Ethel Parker.
Digging for victims of wholesale
murders in West Hammond may be
decided upon, according to Coroner
Hoffman. II is reported that twenty
one men died under mysterious cir
cumstances in the Foss resort last
year Only three of these, are matters
of record and the facts concerning
them are shrouded in mystery.

TWO ISSUES IN ARKANSAS.
Recall and Prohibition Attract Most
Attention In Election.

Little Rock. Ark, Sept. 6-Arkansas
voters will go to the polls next Mon
day to select q complete set of state
and county officers and vote for or
against the adoption of a number of
proposed amendments TO the State con-
stitution. As a victory for the Dem
ocratic ticket headed by Congressman
Joe Il. Robinson as the candidate for
governor is a foregone conclusion, all
interest in the election Is confined
practically to the vote on the pro posed
amendments, several of which are of
highly important character.
The proposed act providing for State
wide prohibition prohibits the manu-
facture, sale or giving away I'm the
State OF Arkansas alcohol. or any
spirituous, ardent malt. vinous or fer
mented liquors, or any compound or
preparation thereof commonly called
tonic bitters or medicinal liquors. The
penalty for the first offense is fine
of not less than $50 nor more than $500
and for the second or any subsequent
offense the fine is not less than 500
nor more lnan 9lVOO anu lllpiiSOh-
ment in Jail not less than three months
nor more than twelve moHths. Each
sale or gift shall be constituted sep
arate onense.
The third of the proposed amend
ments and the one i'm which probably
more interest is being manifested than
in any of the others, is that providing
for the recall. All State and county
officers, including the judges, so af-
fected by the proposed amendment.
The amendment is probably the most
drastic of its kind that has been pro-
posed in any of the States and 1t is
the general belief that 1t will be re-
jected at the polls. The opposition to
the measure is based largely upon the
provision that only ~ per cent of the
voters is necessary to initiate the re-
call of any official. Another feature
that is regarded as Objectionable is the
provision for the election of the sue
cessor Of the official proposed for recall
at the same time the question of his
recall is voted on and the barring OF
the official from being a candidate.

SO YEARS OF
SOLITARY CONFINEMENT

Boston. Mass. Sept. 6.-Jesse Pome-

day rounded out his thirty-sixth year
of solitary confinement in the State
prison at Charlestown. At the age
of sixteen he was sent to prison for
torturing and numbering little children.
While solitary Imprisonment is the
name given to the punishment Pome-
roy is undergoing it does not mean
that he never leaves his cell. Each
day. while the other prisoners are at
work, he is permitted to walk in a
small yard where no eye except that
of the guard can see him. During
his many years behind the bars Pome :
