Bids Farewell to Arizona

Correspondence from our old friend, Joe Root, the well known life insurance man. to w. E. Cross, the Holbrook barber, tells of his future avocation. Sorry to hear we will see Joe so seldom. Joe is there with the goods when it comes to writing insurance:
 In his letter he says:
 Well old man I guess it will be pretty seldom in Holbrook for me from now on as have just taken the state agency for the West ern State Life of San Francisco for the state of New Mexico and have no rights in Arizona. Tried my best to have Navajo and Apache counties included in my contract but nothing doing.
 Give my regards to all the boys. and with best wishes for yourself, 1 am,
 Very truly yours.

INDIAN PRISONER
 LANDED IN JAIL

Sheriff Joe Woods and Deputy Tom Pickett returned from Keams Canyon Sunday night with an Indian, who, it is alleged shot and killed a fellow-tribes- man with d 22-rifle. The crime was the result of quarrel among the Indians and circum- stances would indicate that it was premeditsted. Woods had but little trouble in apprehend- ing the criminal, although it was afterward understood that the Indians had threatened to oo some shooting in case anyone attempted to make the arrest. In some manner their plans mis- carried and the prisoner was safely landed in the Holbrook jail Sunday evening.

 A regular term of the court has been ordered to convene on March 11th, when the Grand Jury will be empaneled. A trial jury will be summoned to be in attendance on said court on. March 14th. The purpose of the -ter1a-is-tO claar the Calendar of criminal and civil cases that have been awaiting trial for so many months.
 This departure will be very agreeably received by those af- fected, as it will be a movement that will not necessitate the de- lay and inconvenience that has heretofore prevailed and has caused much expense to the coun- ty under the old judicial system.
 Judge Sapp is in favor of simp- lifying the court machinery as much as possible, thereby say ing time and unnecessary ex- pense to all concerned.

Oaxaca and Yucatan are said to be waging open warfare against the govern ment while from all quarters of Mexico reports of raids by ma rauders continue to increase. Am ericans in the Culiacan valley, in South Mexcico, have suffered to such an extent from roDber bands that they have made an urgent appeal for aid to the United States government.

TRUE FOR THIRTY YEARS

From the Parsons (Kas.) Sun.
 The Kansas City Star of yes- tesday contained a reprint of the first issue of the Star printed September IS. 1880. On the editorial page is the declaration of principles, in which is the following paragraph:
 The Evening Star will be absolutely independent in poli- tices, aiming to deal by all men and parties with impartiality and fairness, expressing it's veiws at all times with freddom and fear lessness. {"
 In looking over the past twen- ty years in which there have been few days the writer has not read The Star. he fails to find where the pledge made thir- tv year ago has not been kept. While the writer has not always agreed with The Star as to party measures and candidates. he has never believed The Star a Dolit-- ical mercenary, ready to sell it.. self to the highest bidder. He believes the declaration of prin- ciples made thirty yesrt ago has been lived up to far better than nave the platform pledges of parties. .s<.. ~@. ..s

COL. ROOSEVELT WILL
 MAKE REPLY MONDAY

Theodore Roosevelt said here to- night when an admiring Cleve- land friend sought to learn whether he was a candidate for the republican nomination for the presidency.
 i During the brief stay of Col onel Roosevelt in Cleveland, w. F. Brick. well known locally in politics, greeted the former president. whom he knew well.
 II want a direct answer, Col onel," said MT. Eirck. "All your friends want to know now, whether you are to be a candid ate"
 My hat is in the ring. re- piled Colonel Roosevelt. You will have my answer Monday. !"
 Belief in the political doctrines of the 'progressives" was reit- erated today by Theodore Roose- welt, who made four speeches in Ohio. It was his first trip of the kind since the series of journeys shortly after his return from Africa in 1910.
 A mixture of snow and rain fell steadily until nearly night fall, but Colonel Roosevelt was welcomed by crowds wherever he went.
 On the train between Colum- bus and Cleveland, late today, Colonel Roosevelt conferred at length with number of polit- icians leading the Roosevelt movement in this state. Among. them were A. L. Garford, of Elyria, Ohio, member of the Roosevelt National committee; Nathaniel Wright of Cleveland, chairman of the Roosevelt Ma. tional Publicity committee. and Judge R. M. Wanamaker, of Akron.
 James R. Garfield, secretary of the interior in the Roosevelt cab inte. and Frank R. Knox, chair man of the republican state com mittee of Michigan, also talked with Colonel Roosevelt, and in Columbus he saw Walter Brown. chairman of the Ohio republican state committee.
 The train was more than an hour and a half late in arriving here anG a stop of but fifteen minutes was made. Colonel Roosevelt then proceeded on his way to New York.
 Colonel Roosevelt delivered his principal address before the state constitutional convention at Columbus.
 He made short address to a crowd in the rotunda of the capi- toi. At Gallon he spoke from the train and at Cleveland he made brief speech of greeting from baggage truck.
 Here tonight Colonel Roosevelt was asked what he thought of his reception in Ohio.
 Bully, by George" was the reply. Addressing the conven tion. the colonel several times turned aside from his proposed speech long enough for an epi- gram or two.
 When he came to the subject of control of corporations, he said:
 Big business always shudders slightly when I speak of it"
 The coIonel's speeches in the rotunda of the capitol and in Gallon were devoted largely to ar, exposition of his well known views upon the baby question.
 At Cleveland he paid his com pliments to the wife of the
 average American, saying that though he thought highly of the man. he thought more highly of the mans wife.
