at their APPARENT lack OF interest in

Hurried Departure
 Of Fourth Cavalry

A gentleman who arrived in Doug las today from Fort Huachucs brought the uews of the hurried departure frrm that post on last Sunday of 'hree troops of the Fourth cavalry, in cluding A, B and c. It vas reported q, the post that these troops went in response to a call from Nogales which stated that a plot had been discovered which bad been laid Tor the capture of the American custom house in that town, which is the custom hesdqusr- ters for the entire state of Arizona.
 Whether the proposed attack on the custom house had been plsnn d on this or on the Mexican side of the line was not kuown ny the gentleman who brought the news, but it is pre- sumed that it had been planned by rebels who have been recruited on this side of the line snd desired to secure srms and ammunition before crossin z iuto Mexico.
 As nothing has come out of Nogsles concerning any attempt to capture or modest the custom house it is the opinion that the plan being discov- cred was abandoned d.-Interpstionsl.

Arizona to be
 We'll Represented

Arizona will be we'll represented at the annual convention Of the G A R. io Los Angeles. next September. Present indications are that twenty five or thirty veterans from this state vi be on hand. All who can possi- bly, get away and make the trip will be there, for it is unlikely that there will be another G A. R. con- veption near enough for any consid- ersble number of them to attend
 All the post commanders. depart. ment commanders, past post and de- partment commanders, are qualified delegates to this convention. - The present department commsn der is Captain James F. Duncan of Tomb stone.
 No, only Twill practically all the accredited delegates go 10 Los An. ge.es, but many c A R. members who are not delegates will be there. About fifteen are out of the stee at present but all are planning to be in Los Angeles ~hen the convention opens. There are at least fifteen or twenty now in the state who will join them there. The Arizona section is cure to be one of the largest in the great parade.
 There is also a prospect that the Woman's Reliet Corps will send 8 large delegation to the convention but this has not been settled.

Supervisors Must
 Re-District Counties

Under house bill l39. which passed
 the regular session of the legislature
 this spring, it is made the duty Of the
 boards of supervisors in the several counties Of the state on the first Mon. day in September of this year, to re- district their counties into judicial districts. The bill further provides that the old judicial precincts sbail give way to the new ones on the first day of January 1913. and that all the present precinct officers shsll go out of office on that date. So, it would seem under the provisions of this bill, there is no chance for any of the present precinct officers to continue to hold their offices alter the end of this year by virtue of there being no election this year. As there is to be no election for these officers the va csncies will have to be filled by the boards of supervisors throughout the state.
