More Cases of Disease.

The dreaded hoof and mouth disease
among cattle continues to spread and
the federal, state and local veterinar-
ians are kept extremely busy in at
tempting to stamp it out. Since our
last report three new cases have de-
veloped, each in a different locality.
Last Wednesday the disease was dis
covered in the herd belonging to Geo.
Dreher on the Carl Sholtz farm. All
his stock was Immediately condemned
and by the end of the week his IA head
of cattle and % hogs were killed and
buried. The next case to be reported
was on the Chas. Palmer farm in Fitch
burg where 80 head of cattle, 20 hogs
and 100 sheep have been condemned.
This case was closely followed by the
discovery of the plague in Nels Soren-
sons herd in the town of Oregon,
where Is head of cattle and Is hogs
will be slaughtered. On Monday cattle
owners began to feel measure of re-
lief because of the cold weather and
snow, thinking that it would check the
disease, but the two cases which have
since developed have shattered their
hopes. Oregon Observer.

Better Than a Letter.

Go if you will to a large city and
watch the big business men and cap
italists as they eagerly tear off the
wrapper from the little paper from
their old home town. The big city
daily is forgotten until the last item of
interest is read in the "home" paper.
write often" are the last words those
men uttered as they boarded the train
that took them away from the scenes
of their boyhood days and hurried them
miles away to the city where they made
good However, their friends at home
did not write often, and the boys who
wanted news from the home town sub
scribed for the little paper. Each week
it tells them of the fortunes and mis-
fortunes of their old friends. They
keep posted on the towns growth, the
removal of people by death or other
wise. They are familiar with the last
weddings and births, in fact, hundreds
of little items of interest creep into the
newspaper that letters from home
would never contain If you have a
friend, brother, sister, son or daughter
away from home battling for liveli-
hood among strangers, you can cast a
ray of sunshine in their path by send
ing them the modest little home news
paper. Try it and see if this kind of a
holiday gift is not appreciated.

Postmaster Salary May Be Reduced.

Postmaster C. A. Hoen, who has only
just fairly got warmed in his new posi-
ton, stands in danger of having cut
of $500 in his salary if the recommend
alton of Postmaster General Burleson
is acted on favorably by congress.
Approximately fifty postmasters in
Wisconsin will lose from 500 to S400 a
year Salaries in second-class post
offices are to be $4,000 and $500. At
present they are graded to $4,000. All
salaries above $4,000. and less than
$500 are to be cut to $4,000, and those
between $500 and $1,000 to $780,
The following offices will drop to
1000: Amigo, Berlin, Burlington,
Cudahy, Edgerton, Hudson, Lake Ge-
neva, Menasha, Menomonie, Merrill,
Monroe, New London, Oconomowoc,
Oconto, Platteville, Plymouth, Portage,
Port Washington, Reedsburg, Ripon,
Rhinelander, Rice Lake, Richland Cen
ter, South Milwaukee, Sturgeon Bay,
Stoughton, Tomah, Two Rivers, Wau-
paca, Waupun, Wauwatosa, West Bend
and Whitewater.
The Madison Democrat, however,
says such cut is impossible. The
worthy postmaster general may recon-
mend such policy but it will not pre-
vail. That is sure. 1t is not the pub
lie way, never has been, and, alas,
probably never will be. Official recon-
pense ascends. That is custom, prece-
dent, practice. and, more important
yet, the irrevocable predetermination
of stand-together politicians. Pretty
time, indeed, isn't it, for congressman
to be asked to make such cut but a
few years after they had augmented
their own pay about 80 per cent?

MIKE CASSIDY TO AGAIN BE
POSTMASTER AT BISBEE.

BISBEE, Ariz, Jan. mike
Cassidy, postmaster at Bisbee and
standpat Republican stands an excel
lent chance of re-appointment. Not
withstanding his political affiliations
according to dispatches from Wash
ington Cassidy is said to have the
support of the Copper Queen people
and Cleveland H. Dodge of the
Phelps Dodge company who is a
member of President Wilson's cabi-
net might help a lot if he wanted to.
Personal presentation of the case
of Mr.. Cassidy has been made to the
President by influential Arizona per
sonages who have been in Washing
ton. Also, it is intfmated there has
been direct word from influential
Bisbee people on behalf of Mr.. Cas-
sidy, which has not been without
avail.
Democrats After Job.
1t appears that the activities of
for appointment to the postoffice
have been carried on with a manner
of feeling recently that has somewhat
disturbed earlier plans at the cap
ital. Mr.. Henderson awhile back was
conceded the appointment, but sub
sequently it was brought to bear that
his election would represent an en-,
dcrsement of the Hunt administra-
ton, of which he has been an asso-
ciate through his office in the state
fair commission. The people at Wash
ington are averse to linking arms
with Hunt under the circum stances
/ of open division which exists in Ari-
IONA and particularly in Cochise
county.
Lately there has also been strong
pressure brought to bear for Candi
date Vaughn, who has aroused the
port. 1t is said that there have been
bodies forwarded recently and that
that is not at all pleasing of contem
plation, in the event that Vaughn is
not appointed. To make matters
worse both Vaughn and Henderson
are in the Hunt column and counted
as Hunt supporters.
Cassidy Silent.
When the above dispatch was
read to Postmaster Cassidy over the
telephone last night he said that he
knew nothing about the matter. Some
Bisbee business men had suggested
to him that he permit them to go
ahead and put in a petition for his
reappointment, but he advised them
that he considered such course use
less, and as one believing in the doc
trine of ito the victors belong the
spoils," had refrained from encour
aging the proposal. Whether or not
steps will be taken in Washington
in his behalf he said he did not
know His commission expires the
oath of this month.

HAIGLER'S BOND is
FIXED AT 100000.
Bisbee Murderer of John Wall May
Be Unable to Obtain Release

BISBEE Immediately following
the return to Tombstone yesterday of
Judge Lockwood, who passed through
the city in the morning, accompanied
by his family, en- route home from a
holiday visit in Dougles, the superior
court judge acted in the matter of
the bond instructed by the State Su-
preme court to be granted Roy
Haigler, held from Bisbee for the
murder Of John Wall.
Judge Lockwood upon considering
the matter said that he deemed $10,-
900 a fair amount in which to fix the
bond of Haigler, and named that
amount. District Attorney Gilmore
announced that the amount was con-
sidered satisfactory in his office and
that no objection would be raised.
Thus it is that if Haigler can raise
security to the amount of $4,000 he
can obtain the brief period of liberty
between the present tim and the
time of his trial.
Haiglr did not appear to be much
concerned about the matter when he
learned of the amount fixed for his
bond yesterday morning, according to
those who were present when the in
formation was received by him. So
far as known no steps have yet been
taken in this city by his relatives and

DREAM OF YOUNG SWANS is
VERY BADLY SHATTERED

SAN FRANCISCO, January 1.-The
dream of finding a modern Utopia
on Eastern Island, in the South Pa
cific, which has claimed the attention
of many aspiring young SWANS who
seek to wed the island beauties and
thereafter lead life of luxury and
ease, was rudely shattered today by
Steve Drinkwater,~ one of the sur
vivors of the schooner Ell Dorado
who recently found refuge on the
island.
81 spent three enforced months on
Easter Island,''' Drinkwater said to
day, "and if that place is Utopia
give me the neither regions"
Wrinkwater said he would be in
favor of an expedition to Easter Is
land if it were for the purpose OF
alleviating the suffering of the fifty.
eight natives who have survived a
once populous tribe.
In view of these and other facts
regarding the island, Major Frank
Dooley, a retired British army officer
announced that the proposed eXpedi
ton with a party of young men has
been Indefinitely postponed.
"Of the fifty-eight natives, says
Drinkwater, 'thirty-eight are women
and ony nine of them are I'M
married"

brute as he gripped the defenseless
woman, whose every scream of agony
appeared to only goad him on to
further savagery.
Less understandable than the
frightful actions of the man is the
attitude of a dozen or more convict
guards at the convict camp out Tomb
stone canyon, who let the attempt at
murder go on without effort at inter-
ference. When officers arrived from
the city in response to urgent tele-
phone calls from frightened guards at
the camp, they rushed in upon Hugh
es and caught his arm as it was de-
Scending with the knife, aimed for
the woman's heart, and probably
with determination to bring the tor
ture to a final end with certain
death, realizing that interference
would soon come.
The Bisbee officers were deputy
Sheriff Red Cannon, Officer Kemp
ton and Percy Bowden, the latter a
county driver. These officers jumped
into an automobile and drove to the
convict camp when the first telephone
call for help came. Hughes had then
been murderously at work upon his
wife for some little time. In all, he
hacked at her for more than half an
hour. When the officers arrived the
convict guards in the vicinity of the
scene were hidden behind a shelter
which they refused to leave, believ
ing that Hughs had a gun and would
open fire the minute he was ap
preached. The guards were mostly
men brought from Phoenix a while
back. Several local men in the
guard service who would undoubtedly
have grappled with the would-be muir
| 1erer were NOT in the vicinity at the
! time.

friends to procure the amount. 1t is
expected, however, that there will be
steps today. In the event that $1O,-
900 cannot be raised and this is con-
sidered very doubtful, it is possible
that appeal will be made to the Su-
preme court for further ruling, in
which event Haigler is likely to have
no chance at freedom at all, for fur
Their consideration by the higher court
would not likely be concluded in ad-
vance of opening of the hearing of
the prisoner on the murder charge.
1t is known that the office of district
attorney will contest any effort made
to secure reduction in the bond

SALTYNG OF MINES AL
MOST ABANDONED.
Formerly Followed Extensively BY
Adept SWindlers.

While the practice of mine sailing
is not as common as it was twenty
years or more ago, it is still occa-
sionally done, and in Mexico, with
particular skill. One of the most
successful large scale operation of
this nature was perpetrated at Junaeu
Alaska, about twenty years ago,
writes a correspondent in the Engi-
neering and Mining Journal.
Three partners owned a ledge 200
to 300 feet wide on an island near
Juneau. They had done great deal
of work in tunnels, drifts and rails, S,
but the ore was too low grade to
make the property of any value. The
owners, however, proceeded to work
by a sale on a basis of $450,000, a
rs per cent payment to be made af-
ter examination.
The prospective bueyrs sent two
different corps of engineers, one fol-
lowing the other. One of the own
ers met the first party in San Fran
cisco, worked into its good graces
and assisted in the sampling. He

BIND AND GAG WOMAN

Mrs. William Elliott of Casa Grande
Victim of Robbers-Nineteen Ho-
DO Suspecs Held Awaiting
Identification

CASA GRANDE, Ariz., January L
Mrs. William Elliott was found in
her home here this afternoon by her
husbands brother, Arthur Elliott, I'M
conscious, bound and gagged, with
the home showing signs of having
been ranSacked. Its contents were
thrown around in confusion. 1t
was Immediately decided that Mrs.
Elliott had been the victim of an as
sault with robbery as the motive, and
the alarm was given in every direc-
ton.
Under the direction of Deputy
Sheriff Powers (Maricopa SLIM posses
were sent out and before night, after
miles of country had been searched,
nineteen hobos were caught in the
dragnet and placed in the county Jail.
One of the men had his face scratched
and gave apparently all evidence of
having been in an encounter with a
woman. Feeling in the little com
muity was very high tonight, but
just before midnight Mrs. Elliott re-
gained consciousness. The physi
clans in charge of her, however, re-
fused to allow her to see any of the
suspects until morning, when she
will be given an opportunity to identi-
fly her assailant.
The assault occurred between 8: Is
and $3.50 o'clock in the afternoon at
a time when nearly everybody in the
town was attending a New Years
baseball game. Arthur Elliott, as
sistant station agent of the Southern
Pacific railroad, who works but five
hundred yards from the house, and
a brother of William Elliott, had
been away from the house but short

Stafford is TO HAVE TOWN
HALL AT AN EARLY DATE

The meeting of taxpayers, which
was held Monday evening at the M .
E. Church, was we'll attended, and
the matter before the meeting, the
erection of a town hall and jail, was
fully discussed.
Mayor Prina called the meeting to
order Geo. P. Jacobson was
secretary.
Mr.. Jacobson stated the object OF
the meeting-to discuss ways and
means to secure a town hall and jail
for the town.
Mr.. Chambers started the discus
sion and stated that he was willing
to abide by the decision of the town
council and that there was great
need for a building for town pur-
poses and there was no question
about the need of a new jail.
Mr. Weber gave his views in the
matter and stated that the town
needed a public building and needed
it bad 1t also needed a jail, the
old Jail having recently been de-
stroyed by fire. The town owned a
good lot centrally located on which
a suitable building could be erected
that would provide hall for citizens
meetings and the town council and
justice of the peace, as we'll as jail
quarters. Such a building could be
designated also to provide for the fire
department.
The question as to how the money
could be raised to pay for public
building was brought up by Mr..
Roach, and the information was
given that the town council could
call a bond election, which, if car
ried, would give the necessary funds
through the sale of bonds .-Guardian
