CINCHING A HIRED MAN.

An elopement is said to have oc-
Cured recently at a country home
southeast of Tampico in which the de-
termined young lady crawled out
through a window to reach her lover
and then both went to Princeton
where quietly married. The parties
who were said TO have figured in this
romantic get away we're Mamie Elgin
and Stacey Whipple the hired man
who worked for the brides father.
After being married at Princeton the
couple returned home and asked for
giveness which was granted because
the brides father needed his hired
man quite badly on account of his
spring work. The objection to the
match was said to be the youthfulness
of the bride who is only fifteen. She
is the daughter of Henry Elgin farm

that the members of the class began
to think they were not TO have any in
vitations unless they ordered them
elsewhere And when they did arrive
many of them were not fit to send out,
but it was too late to get others. 1t
seems to US that the school board and
the teachers should look after matters
of this kind in the future and see to it
that the young people-who are mex
perienced in businesses matters-are
not led into traps of this kind. If a
representative of any out-of-the-city
concern shows up next year and tries
TO work the classes of 1914 he should be
quietly but firmly informed that the
best thing he can do is to get out of
town as quickly as possible.

SHERIFF SUBDUES MIMIC BAD MAN
(From Wednesdays Daily

Rex RoSelli of the Selig PolyscOpe Company one of the most peaceful citizens in the moving picture busi- ness and one of its best opponents in acting sometimes makes up like a criminal and looks the part He did Monday, at any rate.
 Disguised as a cutpurse of the deepest dye he had been eluding, in the mimic world, a brand of peace officers across the snowy sweeps of the Williamson Valley road. Ali ter the days work, accoutered still as a desperado. he jumped from a sleigh at the Fashion stables, twirl- ing revolver gaily in his hand.
 As he bent his weary steps toward the St. Michael, juggling his shoot ing iron, he felt the cold muzzle of .a 38 pressed firmly against his bread basket and heard the gruff voice of Sheriff Keeler speak:
 Your the man I'm looking for I've got your description and if you don't drop that 'gat' I'll blow a hole in you"
 Rex, as pale as the snow under foot, remembered that one must all ways be q gentleman, no matter how painful and replied:
 Why, I'm one of the moving pie ture actors and was just taking this gun back to the hotel after playing crook part
 The drinks were on Sheriff Keeler who had been looking for a bad man, the description of whom tallied exactly with Rex's makeup. The Sheriff says, if Roselli had not drop ped the gun promptly, there would be one less actor in the open-air branch of the profession and Rex goes white every time they josh him over his narrow escape and his splendid embodiment of the bad man.

Expert eXamina- ton was given in regard to the char acter of the wounds received by Rose, and which was to the effect that the man had been shot from the front and not from the rear as was previously reported. The bullet en- tered the left temple and passed obliquely through the head coming out behind the right ear, was the emphatic statement made by medical authority.
 The woman was called to the stand and testified at length. She reiterated that when Rose shielded she was the only one in the room with him. The coroner's jury at Ash Fork brought in a verdict plac- ing the crime at the hands of the woman.

BIGGLEY REFUSED
 PROFFERED JOB

PHOENIX, Feb. 25.-It became known here today that Leo Bigley had been rendered and had refused the acceptance of the appointment at the hands of President Taft to be Register of the Phoenix Land Office. The contest for this ap- pointment had been keen among the Republicans of this state and the endorsement of Mir Bigley by the state organization had been made without his solicitation and his agreement to the same was given in the interest of harmonizing the situation which had arisen.
 Later and after the President had indicated his intention to appoint MT. Bigley, he deemed it best for his personal interests to accept a pro position which had been rendered by a large irrigation and land com pany soon to begin operations in Chino Valley of Yavapai county. Mir. Bigley will enter upon his duties with this company about June lst.
 Although the apparent probabil- ity that no appointment which may now be made by President Taft will be confirmed by the Senate, there is still rivalry among Republicans for the appointment and endorse ments are being solicited by several applicants. On the occasion of Se- cretary Fishers visit to Phoenix some months ago, he indicated that in his judgment it would be prefer able to have the appointee a person versed in law and as none of the applicants are lawyers it seemed quite likely that no nomination for the office in question will be made by President Taft.

H.-Judge Smith of Prescott, presiding in the superior court Tuesday, heard more arguments in the famous Cunning ham vs. Costello case and after hear ing same in opposition to granting a re-opening of the case, ordered continuance of the case until Feb ruary 18th when final decision will be rendered

HIS REPUTATION
 VALUED AT S3,00o
(From Thursdays Daily.)

An interesting law suit was dock eted yesterday in the Superior Court in which an employer figures as the defendant in a damage suit of $3,00D from an employe.
 This sum is asked by Irving Shar- key from Joseph E. Johnson, the latter merchant of Jerome.
 The plaintiff alleges that he was of good name until recently in that community, having credit and a splendid reputation, besides enjoying the esteem of everybody, when all was blasted by the accusation of Johnson that he was a thief, and would steal everything that he could lay his hands on. The plaintiff was further branded by his employer it is alleged as taking every dollar within the reach of his hands, and he charges he has been brought into scandal and disgrace since the sixth day of February, when these public accusations were circulated.

PASSES AWAY AT
 GREEN AGE OF 83 YEARS
From Fridays Daily.)

J. J. Bradley, for the past five years a resident of this city, passed away yesterday at the ripe age of S3 years There was no special ailment to cause his death, his ad- vanced years occasioning a general breakdown in health, resulting in serious illness about two months ago. Since that time he had been confined to bed awaiting the sum- mons from the unknown.
 The deceased was born in Morgan County, Tennessee, but when a young man removed with his wife to Texas, arriving on the border in 1859, where he followed his trade as a contracting carpenter and build CT When the Civil War broke out, he rendered his services to the cause of the confederacy, and was elected captain of the 26th Infan- try regiment. After the close of the war he returned to that state, where he was an esteemed citizen after ward. He bore an excellent name as a citizen, and his death is re- gretted by many in this section. He is survived by ad aughter, Miss Mattie Reese, two sons, J. J. Brad ley, Jr., and D. s. Bradley, resi- dents of this city, and two sons and one daughter in Texas. The body is at Ruffner's to be prepared for burial in this city.

and admitted the transaction, but de- clared he acted not as a prison off cial but as a private individual.
 In concluding for the Florence pe- titioners, Weedin bitterly assailed the present prison management and de- clared he hoped some relief would be given the residents of the city of which he is Mayor and the laws at present on the statute books con cerning confinement of prisoners un- der sentence to the state prison would be enforced or the prison re- moved from Pinal county.
 It seems probable, the committee will agree to a report demanding that Governor Hunt instruct War den Sims to keep from the streets of Florence state prison convicts, unless they be in convict attire and accompanied by guards. The ques- tion of the purchase of supplies by prison officers except on order of the Board of Control and any previ- ous purchases from a company in which the Governor or other mem Der of the board is interested, will be a second chapter, in the contest which is now on between Hunt and the anti-Hunt forces in the State legislature.

FIRST AUTO CASE
 IN NORTHERN ARIZONA
(From Fridays Daily.)

The first automobile litigation re ported to date in Northern Arizona is to be heard in Kingman today J. E. Russell will look after the in terests of the defendant. in the case of the Studebaker Corporation against M c. Wagoner.
 The issue is very interesting in volving the ownership of a certain car of the value of $500. There appears to be a balance due on the purchase price of about $l,600. with interest and court costs added. Wag oner contends that the machine was purchased under a guarantee of the 1910 model when in reality it was four years prior to that date of manufacture, which was proven in previous trial.
 The present litigation follows on the admission of the defendant that the balance stated is due and he will resist to the limit of the re- plevin proceedings that are the ba- sis of future ownership. Expert testimony of mechanicians is to be introduced at the trial, as to the physical makeup of the car at the present time and its conditions when it was first placed in commission.

According to a complaint sworn to by Superintendent Coldwell of the Pioneers Home in this city, and Dr. J. B. McNally, physician to that institution, the taking into GUS tody of H. Ramboz, a member, is desired on the charge that the latter is insane.
 The complaint was lodged be- fore Clerk Farley of the Superior Court yesterday, but that official re- fused to take any atcion and will await the return of Superior Judge Smith from the southern part of the the state.
 The allegation is made that Ram boz is suffering from hallucinations such as making faces at everybody in the home, and that parties are endeavoring to dig into his apart ments with picks and shovels with the object of killing him; that Ram boz stated he gave a fellow member the sum of S20, with which to go down town and have a whoop 'em up time; that he goes to bed every night with a big club with which to defend himself, and that he is seized with religious ardor at times that is unreasonable; that he is watched over by his brother Hassay- ampers, and that he should be taken away from that institution at the earliest opportunity.
