TO VISIT SICK DAUGHTER
CONVICT BREAKS PAROLE

FIT. Smith, Ariz., Nov. 19.-Thom-
as Higgins, paroled convict was in
Hutchinson. Kan, when he received
a telegram that his year old daugh-
ter was dying here.
Although the terms of his parole
babe him to leave Kansas, Higgins
took the first train for FIT. Worth.
When he arrived he went to police
headquarters and told officers what
he had done Then he went home to
see the child. The local authorities
telegraphed the Kansas parole ofilc-
ers and four hours after his arriv-
al Higgins was in jail.
When Higgins heard physicians de-
clare the child would recover he said
he was ready to return and accept his
punishment.
He had nine years to serve when
he was paroled.

which not even a SNAKE crawTed, and
no wing of migrating bird beat the
leaden sky above.
The marks of their horses hoofs
cutting sharply into the soil, told accu.
rately the fugitives' rate OF progress,
and the pursuers swept forward with
caution, anxious to spare their mounts
and to keep out OF vision themselves
until nightfall. Their success depend,
ed largely on surprise. and the conf
dence OF those ahead that they were
unpursued. WATSON expressed the sit
uation exactly, as the four halted q
moment at an unexpectedly. discovered
waterhole.
I'D think this yere plain trail was
some lnJun trick, boys, If didn't know
the reason fur II. IT amt Injun ma
ture, an he's cock.sure that nobody's
chasin' him yet. He's figurin' on two
or three days getaway. and so don't
care a tinker's dam bout these ycre
marks. Once In the sand, an thar
won't be no trail anyhow. It's some
kintry out thar, an It would be like
huntin' a needle in a haystack to try
an find them fellars after ter.night
This Is my idea-we'l just mosey
along slow, savin' the bosses an keep
ing back out o. sight TIL dark. Them
fellars amt many hours ahead, an are
likely ter camp furst part Of thei
night anyhow. They'll feel safe onct
hid In them sand-hills, an II they don't
git no sight OF us. most likely they
won't even post no guard Thet's when
we want ter dig In the spurs. Aim
that about the right program. Ser

 "None whatever There will bs nn more railroai building iu Arizona wh le the present obstructive laws re- main in force and the attitude of the state government and the people con. tinues to be hostile towards traus- portstion companies."

Arizona Mining

According to State Mine Inspector Jack Bolin, . practical miner Of msny years experience, mining con- ditions in Ariz zona are better 10 the state by . lsrgs margin. than in any other in the union, or in any country in the world.
 SIX thousspd men are employed in mines of Arizona. In the pact six montbs only t~enty-eight accidents have occurred among this great army engaged in the most hazardous of oo- equations.
 The mining pay rolls of Arizona aggregate over taenty million dolIsrs year.
 In sn interview with the Arizons Democrat Mir Bolin said.
 "Why, don't you know that the mining industry of this state st this time is paying out wsges at the rate Of eighty dollars per capits, for every man. aomsn or child in the state?
 ''It is . pleasure ss this time to pay . tribute to the heads of the Copper Queen, the United Verde and other gigantic mining concerns in Arisous along this line.

Tombstone Not Yet
 Out of the Game

The county seat removal bill fioally
 passed in the legislature. The bill
 was changed 60 often after its origins al presentation that its exact pro-
 vision cannot be given today
 As the measure was for the special
 purpose of depriHns Tom mbstope Of
 the county seat of Ccchi.e ccunty. the citizsns of Tombs tone did everything possible to prevent ts passage, and
 though unsuccessful, our people were able to cut away any possibility of
 the county being eIp'oited by those
 who migh. desire to extors an un-
 reasonable price for a court house or site. The amendment, which will require a vote of G0 ger cent to bring sbou. removal is also due to the ef- forts of Tombs tone.
 On the question of "sbail the coun- ty seat be removed?" Tombstone will continue to fight for the preservation of tbi. city's important support and for keeping alive the many historic features and sentiment tha. cling to Tombstone and to many o! is old pioneer residents No city in Ari. zors has ever contributed mo to the lustre and fame of this new state than dear old Tombstone i, was here that the fret mining sur rcess was achieved and which etarted money and mining men in this direction from every point of the compass; is was the success of Tombstone that drew some Of the most no!ed men of Arizona to the west, such men ss Senator Mark Smith, the late Judge Webster Street and Col. Wm Herring; Hon. Ben Goodrich, now of Los An. geles and A B,llicke Of the Alexsn- dria and Bollenheck hotels in Los Angeles. Judge Stillwell, nov ot Phoenix, was a pioneer of Tombstone and organized the first court :n Co. cbise county in the year 1881. Be- sides these. many of the old residents of Tonb bstone may be found in ell of the important cities of the state. Were these sturdy pioneers to decide the question of county seat removal in Cochise, county, there would be bone.
