He HIT NEGRO


Instead Of peacefully submitting to
the demands Of large negro holdup
man to throw up his arms last night.
T. B. Jennings, the weather man. and
An old Indian scout. grasped the right
arm OF his assaifant with one hand
and knocked him down with the 9TH
er. And this was not a1l-the black
man was given q beating. He then
made q furious dash and disappeared.
This occurred about midnight. Mr..
Jennings was returning home after
having visited q sick friend at the
Victorias hotel. As he passed the
north steps OF the capitol building. the
negro rushed out and requested him
in no gentle tone of voice to throw up
his arms. Jennings offered as q sug-
gestion that when the holdup man
was making his getaway he was on his
way to Christ's hospital for repairs,
So rapidly did things happen that MI.
Jennings could not see whether or
not the negro carried q revolver.
The hero of this affair Is not ac-
quainted with fear, according to his
friends. He had experience in Indian
fighting days that made him immune
from terror.
Once before he was held up by a
man. and today he has a revolver az
q souvenir OF the affair. He over
powered his assailant and landed him
in Jail.

PAR0LED FROM ''PEN''
Baker Fund Fraud Suspect Has Pris-
ON Record, It Is Said.

Records in the governors office
show that M. L. Dennick, one of the
men held by the government in con-
nection with the alleged Baker Uni
versity endowment fund mail fraud
scheme. is now a paroled prisoner
from the state penitentiary. He was
sent to the state prison in October,
1912, on charge of first degree for
gerry and was paroled by Governor
Hodges in October 1913. one year at
ter his commitment
At the governors office this after
noon, it was stated that no informa-
ton as to Dennfck's recent transgres-
sions had been reported. In event
Dennick is held by the government on
the mail fraud charge, 1t is probable
that the state will make no effort at
this time to return the man to the
penitentiary for violating his parole.

According to the custom ON the
curb, trading In these bonds began as

would issue them. They were bought

the buyer to make delivery when the

Later, these bonds, when issued, .
were transferred to the New York
stock exchange where the price rose
gated over $24.0OO.0O0. The decision
of the Massachusetts, court nullified
all contracts and the paper profits Of
traders as a result of tho rise in the

posed conference between the con-
tending factions over Mexico's in

1t IS generally believed that no
arrangements for such a meeting
will be made until a conference
between Villas and Carranza's gen
erals have concluded an adjustment
of their differences. Agents of Car
rama here received reports which
they insisted held out strong en-
enlargement that all internal trou-
bles OF the revolutionists will be

Say, Mr.. Prescott booster. do you
realize what has happened? Can
you gather that of the four cash
prizes offered in the Phoenix-Pres-
colt race and the three prizes in
the loop race, the all-powerful Pboe-
nicians got away with every one.

Gle Dudley has termed them. let it
be known that they deserved every
cent they corralled There is no
question in the world but that Boido
and Wilson are two top-notch rid
ers and that in winning their events
particularly the Phoenix-Prescott
race, they were forced to sail at
dizzy speed in order to overcome
a sterling field of entrants.
Despite the earnest efforts of
those in charge, the entry list did
not do justice to the caIibre of the
event. Gerig who was scheduled
to start on an "Ex" failed to show
up but this fact doesn't amount to
much. There were IA entries in
that Phoenix Prescott race. There
should have been that number in
the loop race.
The time made in this years race
Bothered that of Paul Heating who
rounded the forty-four mile circle
in ffty-eight seconds flat last year.
The handlers of the event are de
termined to make it one of the
classics in Arizona motor racing and
the showing this year has simply
spurred them on to get the event
to the position where it belongs.

TRIES TO SLASH HIM

Meager particulars OF what is
said to have been justifable kill
ing by Night Policeman Anderson
OF Jerome, have been received in
which Mexican Under arrest paid
the penalty for attempting to take
the life of this we'll known officer.
According to statements. made by
witnesses, Anderson had arrested
the Mexican and taken him to the
city Jail, the offender submitting
and showing no reluctance.
When Anderson started to unlock
the jail room door. however. and
with his back partly turned away
from his prisoner the Mexican made
a lunge and with terrific blow
knocked Anderson to the floor. As
the officer was attempting to re
gain his feet, the Mexican whipped
from. the side of his body i long
dirk and poised for striking. An
derson as quick as a wink pulled
his sixshooter and fired, the bullet
entering a vital point and the Mex
lean dropping dead in his tracks.
An inquest is to take place today
and according to statements made
by those near the scene, Anderson
is said to have performed justi-
fable action.

General Carranza had issued orders
expelling General Filipe Angeles

This is viewed as a retaliatory
measure against the Villa faction
after their action in conhscating ma

Angeles was recently deposee as

net and it is said he was one of

Plans for the fusion OF the Re
publican and Progressive parties of
Arizona came to naught at the con-
ference which was held Sunday af-
ternoon and evening at L.O.O.F.
hall under the auspices of the Re
publican State Executive Commit
tee. Although the afternoon session
opened with a number of speeches
which were all marked by get
together" spirit, and although all
present were unanimous in their opin-
ion that the State should be res
cued from the clutches OF the pres
ent extravagant and incompetent
Democratic administration, yet when
the meeting got down to actual bus
mess, all propositions advanced by
the Republicans in the way of com
promise or Cancellation were reject
ed by the Progressive members
present. An offer to wage the fight
under the name of Progressive-Re-
publican, allow the Progressives to
write the platform and take the big
shares of the offices was not salts
factory to the Progressives who
would not entertain any plan of
amalgamation except under a non
partisan ticket, although in doing
this they admitted that they were
not even officially authorized to
bind their party to an arrangement
of that kind 1t gradually develop
ed from remarks that were dropped
from time to time, that the Pro
gressives present were afraid to act
on any proposition without first
having the sanction of Boss"
Dwight B. Heard OF Phoenix who
is in Chicago. As individuals how
ever they expressed strong desire
to amalgamate for the purpose Of
busting the present State admins
tration. Two committees were ap-
pointed for the purpose of ascer-
tanning if a compromise agreement
might be reached but this plan
proved futile within a few minutes
after the joint committee assembled.
A report to that effect was made
at the evening session and as =
result 1t was decided to make the
campaign under the Republican or
ganization but invite all Progress
sives who are not under the dori-
nation OF the Phoenix bosses &c
well as all other citizens. to partici-
pate in the primaries. for nomina-
