The situation among miling men using the cyanide method of treat ing refractory gold ores, remains unchanged, and according to state mcnts made yesterday by an oper ator using this compound. there will probably follow in a short time ar entire suspension of properties, since the European supply has been shut off.

There Is a strong possibility that Frank Malloy, charged with the murder of o. A. Swinncy oi Jerome will never face a jury of twelve men to determine his guilt or in- noccncc. This fact was learned yes tcrday with the admission by county officials that Nalloy was being watched for further actions indicat- ing insanity.
 Since being brought to the coun- ty jail, Malloy has behaved like a maniac His actions during the past week have been particularly those of one of irrational mind. Nal Joy does not appear to comprehend 'H"t he faces Q charge which may send him to the gallows.
 The county attorneys office has been informed of his peculiar ac- tions and the defense attorneys are looking thoroughly into the matter. There Is every indication now that inc court will appoint lunacy con- mission to determine whether or not Malloy Is and was in his right mind when he committed the mur- der
 Both Nalloy and Swinney were under the influence oi intoxicants when Inc former assaulted the lat ter w.th long knife. Swinney died two days later from cuts about the head, body and limbs.

Lieut. Paar was placed in somewhat of a pcrilous position when the war clouds gath cred, and although he attempted to leave for the fatherland to join the colors, he was immediately placed under arrest in London and de taincd as a prisoner of war. While he was nudcr surveillance, friends importuned in his behalf and sign ing a neutrality pledge he was giv- en parole, and permitted to sail for the United States. This op- portunity was a decidedly agree able one for himself and wife, and they arrived in New York City last Monday on the ship Columbia, which Is cmblematjc of the freedom and security of the country under the stars. The trip was somewhat of a thrilling one. The steamer equip ped to care for 250 passengers, had 750 souls aboard.
 From beginning to end 6f the journey. there was constant alarm over being intercepted on the high seas, and 10 prevent capture by Q hostile ship. the lights were dim med during the night, and the look out was vigilant during the day. Fortunately, not d warship was sighted during the thrilling journey, until the shores of the happy land at the end of the journey ware reached. Lieut.

DUD CLARK CASE
 FIRST ON CALENDAR
(From Saturdays Daily.)

By agreement or counscl,thc trial oi County Road Superintendent D. N. Clark who faces six charges of graft iro:a the coIn'y roaI fund yill be the first on the calendar IcNt week. The law provides that prisoners who are lodged in the ,oun;y jail must be given precc- fence ;n ir.al but the attorneys fer Tlarl: are thc same in the case oi Frank Malloy, charged with mur- Ter, and an agreement was there .orc easily reached.
 A5 d result, the Clark case will De the first one called after the panel of jurymcn is picked next Wednesday in the Superior Court. Tie first of the six charges will ;Acn be read and the wheels oi jus ice commence their grind.
 Just how long the graft trial will 'ast is a matter open to conjecture. County Attorney P. W. C'Sullivan las subpocnacd over fifty witnesses md the defense has started its scr ,icc upon numerous men wanted to testify.
 The filing of a report by State Examiner W. II. Plunkctt 70 thc
 fleet that Clark's dcialcation will reach between S5,OOO and SiO,G}O ias led 10 conjecture regarding the course which will be followed by the county attorney in the trial. But one charge can be tried al a lime. If one charge is knocked out and the defendant is acquitted the county attorney would still have Inc other five counts to work upon for d conviction. But IT. cases oi this kind, the test charge usually is accepted as final in its dcci5;cn by both sides.
 However, the report of the State examiner may make an exception oi this ease In other words, it would not be at all surprising to sec the county attorney file within a few days a civil action against Clark for the amount alleged to have been taken by the official from the county road fund.

AIIOH CdluI udy . Ddliy .J
 Three hundred and fifteen election officers will be required to handle the primary ballots next Tuesday Adding this figure to the array oi l50 candidates, there is a ratio ol one election officer or candidate to every ten voters.
 There are sixty-three voting pre- cincts in Yavapai County and five election officers are required for each. The compensation for these officers is to be fixed later by the board of supervisors and the amount will probably depend upon the num- Der of ballots cast. A rate of $ was fixed for the officers acting in the recent new court house bond election
 From the office of the board of supervisors was yesterday issued a vote early" ultimatum. The vot- CTS are specially urged to come early and avoid the rush in view of the fact that women will excr- else their privilege of suffrage in full numbers. This means that the vote will be increased by over 5 per cent. In the outlying districts where the vote is always small, the increase will be handled with little difficulty but in Prescott where there are but two voting polls, some in convenience will be experienced un- less the voting starts early in the day.
 There arc 1898 voters registered in Prescott When it is consider cd that but two polling places are available to handle this number, some idea can be gleaned of the job ahead. The law does not per init the use or an election booth for more than five minutes by any voter but exceptions will be made
 Many of the women voters will probably go into the booths undo cidcd upon the candidates they de- sire to pick. A pcrusal of the Dem ocratic ballot alone with its seventy or more names. would require that stipulated length of time. The polls will open at G o'clock and remain oncu for t,ve1vp IO,rc

Following a preliminary hearing yesterday before Justice of the Peace Charles II. McLanc. Bob Pairolero was bound over 10 await the action of the Superior Court upon charge of attempted murder. Aurelio Pra- do, the complainant, was the prin- cipal witness at the preliminary hearing.
 Prado told the same story he has related heretofore. While Pairolero was attacking a colored woman, named Pearl Johnson, or Jones, he interceded, blows were exchanged, and Pairolero was worsted. The lat ter made a dash for his revolver back of the bar in Ben Rossi's sa- loon in Humboldt where he was em- ployed as bartender and where the row took place. Prado caught ilim They shook hands in token oi friendship. Hardly had they sep srated than Pairolero carried out his original purpose, seized the gun and pulled the trigger. With rare presence of mind. Prado turned and the bullet grazed the flesh over his heart Pairolero believing that he had killed Prado then ran into the dance hall. where he fired three shots at the negress. All missed their target.
 Prado came into Prescott and swore out complaint for his as sallant's arrest On the previous day when he told his story. Prado declared that he had asked Justice of the Peace Mowday for warrant This statement he yesterday cor rected with the declaration that he had not seen Mowday at all but .nat ic had conferred with Deputy Sheriff Kinsman. Mowday did not know that Prado had gone to Pres colt to nave the case taken up over his head.
 hinsman was among the witnesses examined yesterday Two of the other witnesses were Charles Spaw and Bill Dwiggins. both are old and feeble men who were loung ing about the saloon at the time. But the way they made for that door would not have permitted Q pair of experts to play checkers upon their coat tails. Both admit that they made better than ten sec onds for the first hundred yards when the firing commenced. Charley Yoshide, another lounger was awak- ened from his slumbers by the first shot, but he decided that it was saf- CT to play possum during the re- mainder of the performance so he continued to sleep. When the lights went out he escaped through a side window All three testified as to the shooting Justice of the Peace McLane after hearing all the tcsti- mony bound the prisoner over un- der S2OOO bail.

Nearly all of the prominent residents of that place were subpoenaed as witnesses in the interesting case and all have been in attendance during the first two days of the hearing.
 The case revolves about the ap- plication of Mrs. s. B. Mayer for a patent to a placer mining claim. The property, about twenty acres, lies close to the town of Mayer. An application made five years ago by the same party for a patent was turned down and 1t was then belicv ed would be reserved for homestead purposes; that map would be drawn and the lots placed upon sale for all residents of Mayer to purchase. It is contcnded that the property Is not placer mining soil.
 But application has again been made for the patent and the Mayer citizens are lined up for and against the granting of it. The granting of a patent would reserve complete ownership to Mrs Mayer. Should the government agent refuse again to grant the patent the property would be cut up into lots and sold. Norris and Mitchell represent the applicant
