LEFT ESTATE OF
$500 IN CASH
(From Fridays Daily

Apparently laboring under a pre-
monition that his hour for depart
ing to the great beyond was near.
Judge A. J. McPhee, the old-time
resident of the Black Canyon sec
ton who joined many other pio-
neers converted all of his posses
sions into real money. The pc
tition for letters OF administration
on the estate of the old-timer filed
yesterday morning in the Superb
or Court showed that he had left be-
hind an estate of about $2,4OO con-
sisting of cash on deposit in local
banks.
No will was left and no heirs
are known of. These facts are con-
sidered signal in view of the fact
that he took precaution to con-
vert his estate into cash almost inn
mediately prior to the time of his
death. Judge McPhee died at his
old camping grounds after almost
j third OF d century residence IN
this county. The petition was SET
for a hearing on August "a

WOMEN PUT LIFE INTO
COUNTY CAMPAIGN
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Attracted by the leading part be-
ing taken by women in Yavapai
county politics this year, the eyes
of political circles throughout the
State are focused upon the mile
high city and every new move OF
announcement creates renewed in
terest just as fast as the telegraph
wires relay the news to the divers
points. Not only will the remale
vote play an important part in the
coming primary and general cleo
ton but a number of women can
didates who have entered the race
are conducting their campaigns with
vim and snap which promise to
be productive of number of in
teresting situations when the bal
lots are counted.
Today there are three women
candidates out for county offices
and in every case a warm CAM
paign is being waged. The candi-
dacy of Mrs. Gertrude Twiggs who
seeks the county school superin-
tendency was announced Sunday
morning, following the sessions of
the Republicans and Progressives.
The former have already Endorsed
her for the Office and it is likely
that the Progressives will do like
wise.
Mrs. Twiggs is regarded as a
capable candidate for the job. Not
only has she letters to show her
qualifications from an educational
standpoint but her familiarity with
existing conditions in the county
adds weight to her claim for the
position.
Mrs. Edith Ruffner has already
been endorsed by the Progressives
for county recorder and she is al
so waging a battle for the Demo-
cratic nomination against l.. s.
Colwell who seeks reelection. Mrs.
Frances Willard Munds, who play
ed leading part in securing SUI
frage for Arizona women. is seek
ing the State senatorial nomination
on the Democratic ticket.

Following a hearing before JUS
tice of the Peace Charles H. Nc
Lane. B. S. Witter was bound over
to await the action of the SUI
perior Court upon a charge of fall
ing to support his three minor chill
dren. Witter was held under $1,000
bail bond.
Arrested several weeks ago al
Winslow after six-month search,
Witter was brought here to face
the charge preferred by his mother
in-law, Mrs. J. V. Frederick. an ag-
ed Camp Verde widow who is TAX
ing care OF the three children, Ralph,
aged nine, Theron, seven and JEFF
frey, five.
The mother of the children died
year ago and since then the
grandmother has taken care of
them to the best of her ability and
limit of her means. For two or
three months, Witter contributed
to their support but since last De-
cember he was not even heard from
Last February, Mrs. Frederick
complained to County Attorney z.
w. OSullivan and a search was
ordered made for the missing faith
er. Since than the trail has led
through Morenci, Douglas, Tempe,
Phoenix, Parker, Kingman and to
Winslow with apprehension coming
at the last named place.
Witter when asked by the court
whether he cared to make any
statement declared that he had been
i'll a great part of the time since
leaving the home of his late wife.
Upon cross-examination by the
county attorney, however, he adj
mitted that he had been travelling
around the State with a woman
named Ella Brown. Witter was ar
rested at Kingman with the wo-
man but the matter was dropped.
He admitted the arrest When this
evidence was brought into play.
Judge McLane Immediately bound

FLAMES DESTROY OLD
FARRELL HOMESTEAD
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

4 AOAh w AJ1
Fire of an unknown origin early
yesterday morning completely de-
stroyed the eleven-room, three-story
frame structure in Miller Valley,
belonging to the estate of the late
Jack Farrell. DR.. L. 0. Daven-
port and a friend, J. Redwood,
who were spending the night in the
structure had a narrow escape from
an awful death in the flames.
Just how the fire started is a
mystery. DR.. Davenport arrived at
the house Monday preparatory to
furnishing the structure as a resi-
dence for Mrs. Davenport and him
self. Together with his friend, with
whom he was engaged in several
mining transactions, they decided to
spend the night in the sparsely
furnished house.
Redwood was awakened by the
sitting smoke just in the nick of
time. DR.. Davenport, soundly
asleep, for few minutes resisted
the efforts of his friend to awaken
him, but finally both reached the
open air just about in time to see
flames bursting from all four sides.
The first intimation of the fire
was given Prescottonians when the
fire alarm sounded at 2:45 a. m.
The fire department went only as
far as the city limits and the resi-
dents of Miller Valley were forced
to protect their neighboring homes
from the shower of sparks with the
assistance of garden hose and buck
ct brigades.
Once outside, the two men real
lied that the place was doomed.
Several sallies were made inside
and two trunks and other minor
articles were rescued from the
flames. They were then forced to
stand aside and watch the flames
eat up the building.
DR.. Davenport, who is tie son-in-
law of the late Jack Farrell, who
erected the structure and bequeath-
ed it for division among his chill
dren, had rented it for a residence.
Several men had been at work for
weeks papering and otherwise rem
ovating the interior and the work
was just completed when the fire
occurred. DIR. and Mrs. Davenport
are residents of Humboldt who in
tend removing to Prescott perma-
nently. The doctor is now stop
ping at the Head hotel.

| CAR GOES OVER EN-
BANKMENT; ALL ESCAPE
From Thursdays Daly.l

Speeding towards Humboldt Sum
day afternoon in a Ford touring
car. FIVE men narrowly escaped
serious injury, or even death, when
the machine left the road, turned
turtle twice and landed upon its
side at the bottom of a steep en-
bankment All of the occupants
were spilled from the car. Only one
man sustained a serious cut when
his nose came in contact with a
sharp rock
The machine left here early in the
afternoon. Just as the Four Mile
House was reached the car skidded
at curve and the machine went
over on its side. The engine con-
tinued to work as the car righted
itself once and then turned over
again in its descent When the ma
chine reached the bottom of the
embankment minus its load of hui
man freight, the engine was still
going.
Two OF the men continued on to
Humboldt in d machine which came
by, while two others returned TO
Prescott where block and tackle
were procured. One was left on
guard at the scene of the accident
After three hours work, the ma
chine was finally placed back Oh
the road. the only damage sus-
tanned being a broken fender.
! The machine was brought into
the garage of the Sam Hill Hard
ware Company. While the acci.
dent and its details as aforemen.
toned were verified the manage
ment declined to give the names oil
| the passengers.

Both came to Arizona from Texas.
According to the testimony of
the man, he had been married and
was divorced. Likewise did the wo-
man tell a similar story. The
breach that occurred in the lives
of the two had its origin in the
man demanding from the woman
her legal decree of separation, and
if such was forthcoming he would
be true 10 the vow of making her
his legal wife. He stated the wo-
man failed to produce the decree,
hence the knot that binds was
never tied. The final separation
took place at Phoenix only few
weeks ago and the curtain will drop
on the drama this morning when
Commissioner Haworth will give his
decision.

City, Okla, where a father resides

The woman is native of Indiana
and Texas is where the setting OF
the stage took place, in one of the

tons between two sexes as each
actor tells the story before the
footlights with the public as the

HERE'S A CANDIDATE
WHO MERITS ELECTION
(From Thursdays DaiIy.)


In this issue appears the an
nouncement OF Mrs. Gertrude
Twiggs as a candidate for County
Superintendent of Schools on the
Republican ticket. The parents
throughout Yavapai county and all
others who are interested in having
our schools maintained at the high
est possible efficiency, should con-
slider themselves fortunate that a
woman so highly qualified is will
ing to occupy this Office. Mrs.
Twiggs is graduate OF the State
Normal School of Missouri. She
lacked one year OF completing the
university course at the State Uni
versity, and in addition she has had
the ripe experience of teaching for
eight years in the school room. Be-
fore her marriage to John A.
Twiggs, she was a teacher in two
OF the school districts OF this coun-
ty and she was universally beloved
by both pupils and parents. Besides
possessing magnificent education,
Mrs. Twiggs is a charming woman
of refinement and of executive Ca
pacity. She is deserving in every
way of the position as County Sup
eriHtendent of Schools, and if elect
ed, she will fill the office with cred
it to herself and to the satisfaction
of all who are vitality interested
in our public school system. 1t is
a foregone conclusion that she will
receive the unanimous support OF
the women voters of Yavapai coun-
ty, and there are hundreds of men
of all political shades OF belief who
have already declared that they
would give her their votes, since it
became known that she would run
for the Office. The Journal-Miner
with the greatest pleasure endorses
her candidacy and believes that her
victory will be an overwhelming
one.

METALS SLUMP
AFFECT MORE MINES
(From Thursdays Daily.)

As the representative OF the COM
mercial Mining Company in this
county, Major A. J. Pickrell Tues
day stated he had been advised
by the Copper Queen Company at
Bisbee, to discontinue further ship
ments of copper ores to Douglas
or Hayden smelters. Copper Queen
shareholders also control the Com
mercial in this field, and the &C
ton taken is conclusive of the pro-
gram to curtail production indefi-
nitely OF the red metal.
The Copper Basin mines of the
company were preparing to ship to
Douglas from the new strike made
a short time ago, while the Snoozer
at Senator was already in the ship
ping class with a good grade OF ore
Major Pickrell also anticipates that
the present force at the Basin will
be cut down, in fact, it is init
mated from Bisbee such action may
be authorized.
The Ruth zinc-silver mines on
Indian creek, under operation by
James Stack. will suspend devel-
opment in few days and the camp
will be closed down until normal
values in these metals are again
quoted. The Ruth made a ship
ment OF test of five tons to Pueb-
10 smelterS, and the returns pro-
hibited further production.
r. J. Bleck and Oscar Rengo
closed their Thumb Butte camp on
yesterday, where they were devel-
oping under a lease and bond the
Deering group. The low price of
the red and white metal was given
as the reason. The property. they
stated, is attractive for operating
under quotations that prevailed ten
days ago. They have a carload OF
ore sacked ready for shipping which
will be held for the future.

MONDAY CLUB IS NON
PARTISAN IN POLITICS
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Assuming an attitude somewhat
similar to that taken by the board
OF supervisors when the public
plaza was closed to all sectarian
and political parties, the Monday
Club, Prescott's women organization
by a two-thirds vote went on re-
cord as restricting the organiza-
tons work simply to the scope
contained in the charter and to bar
any and all politics.
The expression of this attitude
followed the receipt OF a request
from Mrs. Frances Willard Munds,
Democratic candidate TOR the State
senatorial nomination, that she be
permitted to address the club up
on political issues in which she is
interested. Mrs Munds has always
been an active and enthusiastic men,
Der of the organization.
But sentiment was practically ov-
erwhelmingly against granting the
request. The majority firmly as
sumed an attitude that the organi-
cation should remain free of po-
litical discussion. Mrs. Munds'
candidacy does not find disfavor
among her many friends in the
organization but it was pointed out
that if she were permitted the
privilege the wives of number of
the candidates running for Office,
would be entitled to the same con-
sideration.
However, it was pointed out that
the club rooms could be rented by
any candidates desiring to do so.
This practically gives Mrs. Munds
an opportunity to handle her cam
paign as before planned with the
single exception, that the meeting
has not the sanction of the organi-
cation.
Recently, the county board of su-
pervisors adopted a set of resolu-
tons closing the public plaza to
all sectarian and political meetings
and restricting its use alone to
recreation purposes.

MONTEZUMA TOO BIG
TO SLOW DOWN
(From Thursdays DaiIy.)


Notwithstanding the unfavorable
condition of the metal market, J. P.
Waldron, president of the Montezu-
ma Mining Co., of the Bradshaws.
who arrived yesterday from the
camp, stated there would be no de
lay in carrying out the line of de-
velopment as decided upon.
This move, he says, is due to the
splendid showing made few weeks
ago, when a three-foot body Of 500
ore was cut into in the face of the
5O0-foot tunnel. To continue ex-
ploration he will award another
contract next week to extend the
tunnel an additional 200 feet, which
will be driven through the mountain
ultimately. The bimetals of the
Montezuma product will necessi-
tate the abandonment OF the ship
ping program, however, and for
the present the dumps will remain
The stockholders are earnestly
considering the introduction of a
plant. to treat the low grade ores,
an immense tonnage being ready
from the three years of develop
ment. Mr.. Waldron is better pleas
ed with the property than at any
time since he assumed charge.

hardly productive of the results
anticipated.
"You remove these old men from
their homes, friends and relatives
and place them among themselves.
The result is that they are never
congenial or satisfied and they are
on the contrary, always pickering
and disconnected. 1t is only natural.
The home should be reserved
only to those pioneers. who are in
valids, old men who can not even
exist by themselves upon a PEN
sion.
To-day there are on the waiting
list for admission 10 the home
about thirty pioneers. 1t is cost
ing about $50 to maintain each pio-
neer at the home. If you now
make provision for admitting the
thirty waiting applicants you're
bound to establish an institution
which VIII sent the state on the
road to bankruptcy.
ION the other hand, a pension
system would solve the problem.
Few if any of these inmates in the
home today would fail to live among
their friends and relatives upon a
SIS monthly pension"
Judge Smith however, is not op-
posed to the proposed erection Of
the adjunct institution for women
pioneers for he maintains that if
the male pioneer is to be provided
for in the way the State sees fit,
the woman, too, should be remem-
bered.
