Cameron Will Be Gov
eruor, Sez Cassidy

According to Michael E. Cas-
sidy, former Bisbee postmaster,
rock-ribbed republican, and one
of the best known politicians in
the state, Governor Geo. w. P.
Hunt is going to meet his Water
loo in Noyember-the month
when leaves and governors lose
their hold and take a tumble.
And the man who will plav the
role of the Duke of Wellington
is none other than Honorable
Ralph Cameron, former delegate
to congress and present popular
idol. At least that's what Mr..
Cassidy says, and the genial ex-
postmaster is recognized as an
astute politician and an unusually
accurate prognosticator.

ABSENCES FROM
HOMESTEAD ENTRIES

/ The commissioner of the gen.
eral land office has sent out the
following circular to local land
offices for the information of
homesteaders:
1. Your attention is directed
to the act of congress approved
August 22, 1914 public No. 1881
which provides:
/ That the entryman mentioned
! in section 2291, Revised Statutes
OF the United States, as amended
by the act of June 6, 1912 (37
Stat. 123), upon filing in the To-
cal land office notice of the be-
ginning of such absence at his
option shall be entitled to leave
of absence in one or two contin-
uous periods not exceeding in
the aggregate five months in
each year after establishing resi-
dence; and upon the termination
of such absence, in each period,
the entryman shall file notice
of such termination in the local
land office; but in case of COM
mutation the IA months actual
residence, as now required by
the law, must be shown, and the
person committing be at the time
a citizen a the United States.
2. Under this act the five
months absence in each resi-
dence year allowed by the first
proviso to section 2291 may, at
| the option of the homesteader,
he divided into two periods, but
no more. The homesteader
must, at the beginning of each
absence, file a notice thereof at
sthe local office. but he need not
specify the portion of the five
months privilege of which he
intends to avail himself. A no
tice of his return to the land
must be promptly filed at the
termination of each absence.
3. If homesteader has re-
turned to the land after an ab-
sence of less than five months
and filed notice of his return he
may, without any intervening
residence again absent himself
pursuant to new notice-for the
remaining part of the period
within the residence year. Two
absences in different residence
years, however-reckoned from
the date when residence was es-
tablished- must be separated by
substantial period if they to-
gether make up more than five
months.

Captain Lawson was owner and
pilot of the packet New Orleans,
plying the Mississippi broke
banks. There were miles of rush
ing waters. Only an experienced
eye could tell the channel. Cap
tain Lawson had been at the
wheel for thirty-six hours. He
was exhausted from loss of sleep.
Rastus,a colored pilot aboard, was
called to the captain.

asked the captain.
"Yas, boss

''Yas, boss.
When the captain awoke an
hour later his boat was winding

captain was indignant. l

OFFICIAL BALLOT FOR
ELECTION NOVEMBER 3.

The official ballot for the No
vember election will be a narrow
sheet Of paper, twenty-one inches
wide and forty-tWo inches long.
1t will be an unwieldy and cum
bersome affair. Across the sheet
side by side in parallel columns
the various party tickets will be
placed. In the first column will
be the list of state, county and
precinct Offices to be voted for.
In the second column will be the
Democratic ticket, the third will
present the Progressive ticket,
the Prohibition ticket will be in
the fourth and the Republican
ticket in the fifth column, with
the Socialist ticket in the sixth,
the Independent ticket in the
seventh and a Non-Partisan
ticket in the eighth column.
Under the last two headings the
ticket will consist mainly of
black lines and voting squares
in which the voter may write
names and mark after them.
At the head of each party
ticket on the ballot there will be
the usual square in which the
voter can mark'his x if he in
tends voting the straight ticket,
and it will be counted straight.
But no voter should forget in
voting the straight ticket in
that way he will not vote for the
judges and tax commissioners.
They will be printed upon the
ballot separate and apart, at the
very top of the sheet, arranged
in alphabetical order, with no
designation of the parties repre-
sented by the respective candi-
dates. The idea OF that arrange
ment is that the election of the
judiciary and commission shall
be taken out of politics so far as
possible. While the various par
ties nominated their respective
candidates for judges at the pri-
mary election in September, their
names go upon the official ballot
in November without any dis
tinctive party designation; and
the voter has to pick his can
didate.
Upon the official ballot the
names of the judiciary candi-
dates will appear in alphabetical
order and include the candidates
for Judge of the superior court.
The nominees for state tax COM
mission will follow the judiciary
candidates in the same way.
Bear in mind the foregoing or
you may forget to vote for
Judges and Tax Commission.
The names of your choice must
be marked in the square to the
right regardless of voting a
straight ticket. as party designa-
ton does not enter into these
two offices.

The shrinkage of fed cattle

all the requisites for a successful safe

had so carefully concealed traces of
their visit that the theft was not dis
covered until several days after it had
been committed.
The contents of the car had been
carefully gone over and every article
replaced with the exception of the dy-

STATE ENTERS DEFENSE
TO DIVORCE PETITION
Prosecutor Contests Action of
Mrs. Emma 0eRoo for Sep
aratiOn-CaII Experts"

Hearing in the divorce action
brought by Ema De Roo. sol :. Tay-
lOr St. Mishawaka. against Henry De
Roo was begun Tuesday morning in
the superior court. The case is of
more than usual interest inasmuch
as it is one of those rare instances
in which an action for divorce is con-
tested by the state with witnesses.
-Four neighbors and one expert wit
ness was put on the stand by Deputy
Pros. sam Swartz Tuesday morning.
The hearing continued through into
the afternoon.
The petition for divorce was filed
by Mrs. De Roo last october. She
had been married to Henry De Roo
since 1906 and had been separated
on Dec ). 1912 at which time the
husband had been sent to the insane
asylum at Longansport following an
attack of acute insanity. In her petit
ton fled two years later. Mrs. De
Roo alleged that her husband had
been an habitual drunkard. had been
petulent and cross with her and had
beaten and threatened her.
Upon information brought to the
prosecutors office concerning the De
Roos. Deputy Swartz started an in
Vestigation and filed an answer as
guardian fOr DE Roo and also as
prosecutor The neighbOrs which
Were put on the stand by him teSti-
fled that De Roo had never been
known 10y them To be drunk. that he
had been a faithful worker and that
he had been mild hammered man
in his home. Or. Van Rie, of AIisha-
waka. testified that De Roo had new
er displayed any OF the symptoms Of
chronic alcoholism and that his in
sanity had filed the man with fear
rather than with any violence.
The peculiar interest of the case
arises from the fact that IL calls at
tention 10 the idea that = from time
tO time advanced that the county
should have a prosecutor who might
COnune his time To the contest Of di-
yOrCeS. It is maintained bv LAWYERS
and officials that IL is practical i'm
possibility for prosecuting attorneys
To hnd the time i'm which 10 secure
necessary evidence in the contesting
of divorces when in the most OF cases
the defendant makes no appearance.
The contest therefore. usually from
necessity. consists merely OF cross
examination OF witnesses. So Ear rs
IS known there has never before been
"a divorce action i'm this county active
Is contested as in the present case.
