SPECIAL ELECTION
 WILL BE HELD IN
 COUNTY TOMORROW
Taxpayers to Determine Whether Three Bridges
 Shall Be Built
SEPARATE PROJECTS

The supplies to be used in the spec ial bridge election to be held or next Saturday, were received by express 1ere last evening.
 The electlt is callcI for the Pur fare of ascer:aining the will of the ta.l ayers O. lhe couI.'y ss t5 wneIh- er 0: net ibe board of supervisors .shI 'e -trorized to e. uruct three bridges across the San Pedro river, at a cost of S6,000 each The places selected for the erection ct the bridges are at Charleston, F'a!rbank and at a place called the 'NlrrowN or neal Land <. 1tion.
 At this election only taxpayers whose names are on the tax rolls are allowed to vote. The ballots contain the three separate submis- sions to the voters so that each vot- CT has a right to vote for or against any or all of the bridges or for one and against the others. A majority vote for or against each bridge de- termines the matter. Opposite the squares in which the voter is to mark his vote are the words, For Construction of the Bridge" and
 A Bridge. A description of the intend ed location of each bridge is also given on the ballot in each instance. 50 far there has not been much in terest in the question, and it is not expected that very large vote will be boiled at the election. There is uo question but what the bridges are needed at certain times of the year when the river is up, and no doubt would result in the increase of travel from the western end of the county to the eastern part. The bridge at Charleston would make the matter of getting to and from It. Huachuca much more convenient, and probably divert some of the trade that now goes 10 Tucson to the cities of Co chise county The other bridges would be an advantage to all in going to and from Tucson.

TO PROTECT WATER BUCKETS
Stable soys Bore Holes In Their Bo, toms and Carry corks in
 Their Pockets.

Anybody who has occasion to use a water bucket" said a man acqusint. cd with their various uses. "is likely to pick up the first one he comes to. then he may put it back where he found it or he may not
 Tt was to prevent their being car fied of in this way and left around where they didn't belong that nre buckets came to be made with round bottoms. so that t"ey wouldn't stand on their own bottom. Such buckets. as you know. are kept filled with va ter and standing around in buildings supported in holders having rounded out spaces in which the buckets rest These buckets are likely to be Jeff where they belong
 "A man who doesn't know theiT peculiarity may come along some day and pick up one of them and carry t of but he is likely to leave the fire buckets aione after one experi ence of seeing the bucket he has car ried of roll over when he set it down and spill out all the water
 Perhaps you don't know what sta ole boys do to keep their buckets where they can find them The stable boy protects bis particular bucket by boring hole in it's bottom. so that it won't hold water; nobody wants a bucket that won't hold water Then he carries in his pocket a cork that will fit the hole in the bucket, and when he has use for it he simply plugs the hole. and there's the bucket ready for use.
 To he sure other boys around stable may carry corks in their peck cts. but the run of people don't ; and so the boy who has bored the bottom Of his bucket is at least a little more likely to find 1t when he wants 1t than he wouls be fl it had no hole in it.

CLERKSH|P IS
 COURT PUZZLE
FavOrite Sons of Three Counties Are Strong COntenders for
 the Office
FIVE ARE ASPIRANTS

Advices received from Phoen.X are to the effect thar there are not only a number Of ar !icants for the ap- pointment for the clerk of the United States court under the federal ap- pointee as Judge but that the mem bsrs of the supreme court have trou- bles of their own in the selection of a clerk There are said to be no less than five applicants for tae appoint ment under Judges Franklin, Gun ningham and Ross. Three of them are from Yavapai County. one from Mari copa and one from Cochise. These from 6avapai County are Joe Dillon, Reese LIng's son and a young man s1aQlCg -F2x. From Maricopa Frank DeSOusa is an applicant while from Cochise, Charles R. Howe. the pres ent county assessor is an applicant 1t is understood that the fight has narrowed down to a choice between Dillon, DeSousa and Howe. That each one of the judges is backing the fay. orite son from his own country and at the present time there is said to be a deadlock
 Matter Is Considered
 At the recent conference between the Judges in Phoenix last week the appointment of the clerk was discus. sed among them but no choice was made and none will be made until the Judges meet again as Judge Ross has left Phoenix and returned to his home in Prescott and will not re- turn to Phoenix until the time arrives for the judges 10 take the oath of office
 From the present status Of the ap- continent il is certain that one or the other of the trio of judges will have to abandon his favorlte choice and support the endorsement of one UT his colleagues.
 There are five applicants at present for the appointment as Federal court clerk under Sloan, provided he lands the judgeShip. They are George Mauk, present Territorial Auditor, Al len B. Jaynes present clerk of the District court of Pima county; Sims Ely for Edito~ of the Phoenix Republi- can. .-. .rs and N. l. Cassidy, the BIsDee Postmaster.

lNDlA's HUMAN SACRIFICE.
Awful Tribute Of Lives to the Wild
Beasts Of the Jungle.

Beasts Of the Jungle.
India still pays its annual tribute Of
human life to the jungle. In fact, the
number of deaths from snake bite or
the attacks of wild animals has stead
lily increased during the last three
years.
In one year Hfty-fve persons were
killed by elephants, twenty-five by n.y.
enas, 100 by bears. 351 by leopards.
S1S by wolves, S53 by tigers and 6SS
| by other animals. including wild pigs.
No fewer than 22,47S died from the bite
Of poisonous snakes. The grand total
of mortality is 24,S78.
During the same year $1,000 cattle
were also killed by wild beasts and
snakes.
The losses on the part Of inhabitants
Of the jungle were nearly, but not
quite, as great Us those of their hu-
man enemies and domesticated animals
combined. Ninety-one thousand one
hundred and four snakes and over 49,
900 wild beasts of various kinds were
killed.
Many cases of snake bite were sue.
cessfully treated with the Brunton Ian
Get and permanganate Of potash, but
1t is impossible to assert the value of
this treatment, since no one knows
whether all or even a very large num-
Der of the cases treated were caused
by the bites Of really venomous snakes.
