Knife Too Dull
 For Cutting Throat

Phoenix, Jan 23-Admitting that his entire mental and physical system was so completely wrecked from the long continued use of morphine that he was no longer responsible for his thoughts or actions, Archie Keller, a roomer in the Monroe lodging house, Friday night attempted to end it all by slashing his throat with penknife. That he did not succeed is due to the dullness of the blade and the discov- cry of his condition soon after he made the jagged hole in his neck. Keller is at the police station to-day, still labOring under Authorizations, but partly recovered from his morbidity.

 Accompanying Capt. Van Cans is J. B. Welers. Both are well and hearty and appear to be enjoying the long hike. They made the Examiner office a pleasant call this morning.

Cameron May Be National Committeeman

Washington, Jan. 23-There seems to be a hitch in the matter of appoint ments for the new state of Mexico. Before Delegate Andrews went out of office he made his wishes known, and since it is expected that he will be the first senator from the new state, it is quite certain that in view of the fact that he and the national committee man, MT. Luna, have agreed as to . program, that their recommendation will carry the principal weight giVer these matters at the White House. It appears to be taken for granted that the present Delegate from Arizona, Hon. Ralph Cameron, who was defeat ed by a popular vote of almost one thousand in his race for the senate, due to the Socialist movement, togeth- CT with his running mate, Hoval A Smith, will control federal appoint ments in the new state, and according to rumors on Capitol Hill, Mr. Cam eron will likely be national commit teeman from the new state.

With the nearing completion of the new theatre building on Main street, Manager Teller, of the Teller Theatre, is thinking of the opening night, and just what to offer the Yuma amuse- ment loving public for the opening night at the new play house. He has had an offer of Rex Beach's "The Bar rier," from the Klaw & Erlanger cir cult and several other good plays, but has not as yet decided just what to present, as he naturally wishes to se- cure the best.
 The opening night has not been de clded on. but will probably be about Sunday night, February II.

Railroad Reaches
 Across the Sea

Key West, Jan. 23-"The railroad which steps across the seas," was op- ened today when a passenger train steamed from Knights Key, on the main land to Key West, 46 miles away.
 The road, which is a branch of the Florida East Coast railway, has con structed a line across the Coral Keys between Key West and the mainland.
 For great distances the rails are supported by stretches of steel and masonry. The people of this city to- day, began a three day. celebration of the event.

Young Thugs Fight Officers

officers were able to keep their heads and keep from shooting the young thugs, which all who witnessed the fight, agreed would have been only protection on the part of the officers.
 As it is Officer Zavala is probably disfigured for life, Officer Sexsmith has several bruises, likewise Marshal Levy, and all agree that it was about the worst fight they have been mixed in for long time.
 All the time Officer Sexsmith was trying to subdue his man, the fellow was yelling between blows: Shoot me, etc.
 All the men are strangers in Yuma and they will be given a preliminary hearing before Judge J. c. Jones to- morrow afternoon.
 Two charges have been placed on the docket against them, one for re- sisting an officer and the other for destroying county property.

Is he? Ain't he? Does he, intend to be a candidate? Meaning Colonel Teddy Roosevelt, of course. Nobody has been able to extract a satisfactory answer from the eX-president, al- though about all the "emissaries" and newspaper men of the country have tackled the job. The question may be q vital one as affecting the next cam paign, and even though there may be no direct declaration from Oyster Boy on the subject, there appears to be a we'll grounded suspicion that "Barkis is willins."

Counties Refuse to
 Pay; Work Stops

Phoenix, Jan. 23-Owing to the re- fusal of five counties to pay their proportionate share of the ter ritorial road tax, all work on the ter ritorial highway has been discontin- ged, according to advices from the Office of the state engineer.
 The members of the board of con- trol saw some time ago that unless the five counties which had refused to pay "came through it would be nee essary to discontinue the work. And when it was learned that these coun- ties absolutely refused to do anything, the board instructed Engineer Girand to have his various field forces dis continue their labOrs.
 Work on the road between Tucson and Florence is tied up, while Pinal and Cochise counties are similarly af- fected In Yavapai county Contractor Trenberth has removed his forces from the Maxton and Silver mountain divisions, leaving the roadway in partially completed condition.
 The wooden bridge across the Has sayampa at Maxton will be completed, however, that the road up Senator hill may be utilized.

One Of the DloOdleSC ana most udrO fought fights that has ever occurred in Yuma, occurred last night wher two desperate young men started out to find trouble.
 As usual in such cases they were not long in running foul of the law.
 The young men in question started the trouble by going into saloon on lower Main street and calling for drinks. Neither of them appeared to be under the influence of liquor, and both were served. Having finished their drinks and paid for them, they dashed their glasses on the floor, breaking them in a thousand pieces. and then ran front the place as fast as their legs could carry them.
 A few minutes afterward, however, they returned to the same saloon ard when the proprietor started for them, one of them threw a bottle at him, narrowly missing his face.
 They then ran up the street and into another saloon.
 Here they were followed by Officer Juan Zavala, who attempted to place them under arrest, which Immediately started the bloody fight spoken of.
 Officer Zavala had no sooner at tempted to place them under arrest than one of them struck the officer, evidently with pair of brass kuncks, breaking the bridge of his nose, and tearing a deep gash in his cheek.
 Not thinking they were tough char acters an ymore than the usual run of such people, Officer Zavala did not pull his gun when he went after them but went in alone and attempted to place them under arrest.
 For this MT. Zavala deserves credit, although it was probably rash thing to do as the fellows had already shown they were. hunting for trouble.
 However, Ranger Roy Sexsmith ar TlNSu Ou tue SCSlS dDOuI Chlo IAt'O e'i immediately went to the assistance of Officer Zavala
 Roy clubhed his gun and waded in and every time he hit the man he would shake the blood from his head and face and come back for more punishment, all the time calling 1hp officer all the vile names he could lay tongue to.
 In the meantime a third man mixed into the affair, and for awhile the of ficers had all they could do to keep from being killed or from being forced to kill the men.
 Finally however, with the assistance of Marshal Henry Levy, the ren were subdued and half drug and half car lied to jail.
 But all the way up they were fight ing. biting, kicking and scratching and still using all the vile epithets pos sIble.
 After being landed in jail, being merely placed in the corridors around the cage, as the cage was full, they acted like wild men. They tore the 5mall wooden windows in front of tte bars from the their hinges, broKe the glass and smashed the frames; tore the toilet doors from their hinges and broke them into kindling wood, before the jailer could again summon the Of ficers to subdue them
 In all, possibly $50 worth of dam age was done to the jail.
 The only wonder of it is, that the

From the above it would appear that the outgoing board of supervisors had tied up about s3O,OOO of Yuma county money in a proposition from which Yuma county will get no benefit for months to come and has received no benefit in the past.
 True, it is pretty we'll recognized that Yuma is to be on the line of the ans-continental highway through Arizona, but being on the line of projected highway when the same has not been built, is like being on the line of a projected railroad that is oI- ly on paper.
 Neither are very satisfying, and cer- tainly when the first state legislature meets, the Yuma county members should make it their business to see that the money paid in by Yuma coun- ty comes back to this county, and that the same be expended on a territorial highway from Yuma to Phoenix.
 It is the old story of paying for something before you get it.
