DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE

In selecting Governor Wilson as
the standard bearer of democracy,
the Baltimore convention selected
a man who will wollop Billy and
Teddy to frazzel. Mr.. Wilson was
not as strong man in the west as
Mr.. Clark, and had it not been for
the horse-play of some politicians IN
the convention, Mr.. Clark would
have received the nomination.
But in selecting Governor Wilson,
the democracy has chosen man Of
the highest honor, democrat,
whose integrity has never been
questioned and one upon whose can
didacy all will unite.
II has been the hope of the re
publicans that such a deadly dead
lock would occur in the convention
that the supporters of Clark ant
Wilson would become irreconcilabl'
to each other. but this has not oc
CURED. All factions in the conven
: ton will unite as one solid democ
racy and give the republicans sucl
a trouncing that they will wonde
why they entered the fight.

KILLED BY BARTENDER
Had Been Wrestling in Spirit of
Fun and Was Shot

An unfortunate incident occurred
at Wilcox last Thursday when Roy
Wiley was shot and instantly killed
by Mart Bennett. Wiley was pass
ing by the Midway saloon, where
Bennett was employed as bartender,
when Bennett bleeted at him like a
sheep. The two having frequently
scuffled in friendly way, Wiley
went in and caught Bennett and
carried him outside, placing him in
a chair. Bennett ran into the house
again, and Wiley followed and in a
spirit of fun was going to repeat
the performance. AS he attempted
to go behind the bar after Bennett,
the latter pulled a, gun and shot
Wiley in the breast, Wiley dying in.

OCEAN SAFETY ACT. 1912"

EQUALIZATION

The Board of Equalization is in
session with very intricate piece
of work before it.
1t has been decided to raise all
property in the county equal to the
assessment ordered placed on land
by the tax commission. Notices to
this effect will be sent out to every
tax payer.
The Board has hard task before
it. A blanket raise of any given
Der cent should not be made, until
careful examination is made into
the cash value Of all property raised,
AS upon the action of this board will
depend largely the actions of assess
ors and boards for some time to
come.
A raise In the valuation OF stock
cattle would be AN error as they are
assessed at fully so per cent Of their
value ssow. but are not assessed NJ
their ful count, while, with work
horses the full number is usually
assessed but not at so per cent OF
~their value.

AFOOL PROPOSITION
Department Fears That The

About the most nonsenscial piece
of tomfoolery recently INDUCED in
by the Inderior department, and
which was evidently started by some
headed two-peny, clerk, was an
order to Supervisor Swift to COUNT
ermand the permit granted the Gila
Valley Water Company to reservoir
the water in Frye canyon for do
mcstic purposes, for fear that if the
people of this valley were allowed
to quench their thirst from this
stream it would intefere with the
flow of the Colorado river.
Now wouldn't that jar your giz-
zard?"
Whoever originated the, e,idea is a
bigger fool than we imagined could
be found outside an insane asylum!
The creek in Frye's canyon has
about as much to do with the flow
of the Colorado, as the Mississippi
has to do with the flow of the Hud.

The fool who originated this ide;

for fear it will affect the tide OF tn

EDITOR GUARDIAN:-'Mid scenes
of harvesting, when the click OF the

Mr.. De Lamar McLaws and Miss

a banter was made to the young
couple, who were eager to take it.
Work was stopped for the day and
hurried preparations were made for
the wedding, supper and dance.
Bishop Martineau was called in to
perform the ceremony. It was a
very plain affair as the time was
too short for much preparation.
No presents were given except a
team, harness and wagon, which
were given by Mr.. McLaws' brother.
About thirty people were present
at the wedding and after supper all
went to enjoy the rest of the eve
nlng in dancing. Mr.. McLaws came
here year ago from his home in
St. Joseph, Arizona. Miss Fem
was raised in this country and was
a resident of Morelos. A host OF
