ANOTHER KILLING AT
 THE COUNTY SEAT

Reports reached Williams last Thursday of another killing at Flagstaff.
 From what can be gathered the facts appear about as follows:
 Henry Rockmark, a contractor of Prescott, but who has been in Flagstaff for several weeks doing some work at the Arizona Normal school, while under the influence of liquor, went to the Weatherford hotel about midnight and began shooting up the place.
 The night clerk at the hotel tele- phoned the sheriff's office for assis- tance and Deputy Sheriff Frank Fairchild responded at once. Fair child could do nothing with the drink crazed man and sent for Deputy Sheriff John Woody to as sist him.. When Woody arrived the officers concluded the best and easiest way to subdue Rockmark would be to make a rush and over power him before he could do any further damage. This the officers attempted to do, but Rockmark at once turned his revolver on Fair child and attempted to shoot him, and in order to save his own life Fairchild was compelled to use his own revolver.
 Rockmark received the shot in the left breast, little above the heart, and death resulted in a short time.
 Rockmark was about 35 years of age and was a well known con- tractor of Prescott, having built the Pioneer Home there and sev- eral other business houses. He had been drinking hard for some time and strong drink was the cause of all this trouble. He is said to have a brother living in Prescott.

Attorney and Inventor Here

Hon. c. H. Rutherford, a promi- nent Arizona attorney residing at Jerome, was a visitor in the city Friday, enroute to. Los Angeles. While here he was in consultation with Judge Hafben concerning sev- eral legal matters which they are in terested in.
 MT. Rutherford has recently be- come famous through his patenting a hat fastener for ladies, which is pronounced by leading milliners and dry goods people to be the greatest invention of it's kind ever devised for the pllrpose.
 To a representative of The News, who called upon him at the Fray Marcos, MT. Rutherford said: q Shall leave for the east wi thin a few days to begin the manufacture and sale ot my patent fasteners. They Will be sold at popular pri ces and within the reach of everybody. The News editor not being in any sense a ladies' man, cannot well d'.slcribe this wonderful invention, but will say that it consists of neat eellu- Ibid band which fits inside the hat. Two ornamental heads upon the outside of the hat operates it. When these are given a quarter -of g turn four celluloid hooks are thrc ,wr into the hair, holding the hat. ir place. To take the hat off the or namental heads are simply turned the reverse way.
 The News editor agrees with al those who have seen it in this city that there is fortune in a for th' inventor.

State Wins Tax Case

Phoenix, Sept. 30.--The decision of the Arizona supreme court in the case of the State as appellant. against the Board of Supervisors of Yavapai county, respondents, was handed down this morning. The decision was signed by Chief Jus tice Alfred Franklin, and by Asso- ciate Justices Henry D. Ross and D. L. Cunningham.
 The ca is great victory for the state and it's attorney general. It has been a hard fought one and proves that the state officials are cetermined to bring the big com a. nies to hear their proportion of the states taxes. ----s-sAuSz

OPENING GUN OF
 PROGRESSIVE PARTY

The people ot Williams had the opportunity on Wednesday night of hearing the doctrines of the pro- gressive party explained by the can- didate of that party for congress, Robert s. Fisher, one of the best known attorneys of Phoenix. MT. Fisher gave clear and logical ex- position of the party platform with out engaging in any bitter personal ities against his opponents. He spoke in the highest terms of his opponents, Carl Hayden and Tom Campbell, but shot several amusing shafts of humor at them. He told of how Tom Campbell had been for Hughes, Roosevelt and now as Taft candidate for congress had become the original "stretchin' kid.' He said that Carl Hayden had been born in Arizona, a fact for. which he was no more responsible than he himself had been for being born in Missouri. So that while MT. Fish CT was in Arizona from choice, MT. Hayden was merely a creature of circumstance. ~ ~7-
 The speaker took up the various items of the progressive platform in detail. He showed that big busi- ness was necessary in the country, but that it must be controlled by the people. Answering the attacks made upon Roosevelt by the bosses of the old parties, he called atten- tion to the fact that with the excep- tion of few personal friends the trust leaders were all for Wilson or Taft The president of the harves- ter trust has come out for Mr. Will son, as have the leaders of the ship building trust on the eve of the opening of the Panama canal. He read a letter from Roosevelt to Har- riman in which Hartman was told that no favors would be shown the Southern Pacific railroad.
 The tariff was fully treated in the statement that the progressive par
 stands for a downward revision
 sne tariff on swollen wealth, but for the maintenance of the tariff of the struggling industries of the men who toll and those who seek to take from nature the products of the soil. He referred to the recent statement of Henry Ashurst that he did not care for the sheepmen, but rather for the people who wore woolen clothes. This, said the speaker, is the logic of treason 10 Arizona, for a similar statement would apply to cattle, lumber, cop per and farm products, so that all that Arizona has would be destroy ed. He said that he would think MT. Ashurst would be ashamed tn meet sheep in the road and that he would become famous forever as "Sheep- eyed Henry.
 Attention was called to the pro- visions of the new party for popular

He is merely making the diverse Of
a discovery which has puzzled many
thousands Of American travellers. Tbs
French and American peoples, with all
their manifest differences. are oddly

Perhaps the explanation lies In the
fact that both peoples are. compound.
ed Of many and distinct races, fused
together in single nationality.
The mixture Of races which has
gone on in America is known to all.
But an American is prone to forget
that similar mixture has been In

DAIRY EXHIBIT
At BISMARCK
Managers 4 Exposition v"ou...:.
Stimulate Interest in This
. Branch Of Farm Work.

This Is the first year in the history |
OF the state that bumper crop has |
not caused receding of interest in
the dairy industry in North Dakota
Instead Of farmers feeling overly op.
timistic because they have realized
heavy profits on small grain raising,
and planning to try it just once more,
most of them will use a portion of the
money they receive to purchase dairy
stock and modern dairy equipment.
Commissioner W. c. Gilbreath, realiz-
ing this tendency and desiring to stin1-
ulate interest in dairying so much as
possible, has added dairy show to
the second annual North Dakota In.
dustrial Exposition that will be held
at Bismarck Oct. l. to 10.
The principal feature of the dairy
exhibit, that will be CHARTERED in the
capacious new dairy building, will be
model sanitary dairy barn, with a
herd of pedigreed dairy stock in
charge Of state and federal dairy ex-
perts. Two large concrete silos will
be built by the state. One will be
filled with ensilage that will be fed
| to the COWS. The other will be built
during the course of the show, 80 that
/ visitors may watch the work of con
| struction. Thus practical lesson in
dairying and in the use of silos will
be afforded everyone. In the lecture
hall addresses will be delivered daily
by the experts in attendance, and one
Elarge hall will be devoted to display
OF creamery and dairy equipment and
supplies ss ,,:,,.., 10. -,. ~ -.
! The exposition will also include at
