That this viii not be the only case
of this SORT is the belief of some OF

these doctors while considering the
Harrison act as one of the best ever

have been made for taking care of and
treating these persons who are con

The city Of Keokuk, 1t was found

available for any such purpose. 1t is
believed. however, that the county
and state have the facilities and fund
to care for such persons. They can
be committed to Knoxville or can be
taken care OF at the county home.

A county seat fight, which has been contested intermittently for the past twenty years, was finally set tied on Tuesday of this week when Stafford, the old time rival of Solo, knoxville, in Graham county, was de- clared to be the new county seat by a majority approximating 300.
 The contest at this election however was between Pima and Stafford for the location of the county seat, all other towns having been eliminated at an election held on May 11th. Until two days before the last election residents of Pima were confident that Pima would be selected over Safford,a but the big vote given Stafford at Thatcher upset their calculations

The biggest catch of the dry sea- fee when on Sunday morning last about three o'clock, Deputy Sheriff An dress captured B. Alexander and Paul Beruatto as they were driving a wagon into Clifton containing three barrels of Old Jordan whiskey worth approxi- mately six hundred dollars.
 Deputy Sheriff Address, who lives on the road below town, says he was awakened Sunday morning about 8 o'clock by train pulling up Shannon Hill and while awake he heard a wagon numbering along the road. At this unusual hour the wagon attract ed his attention and in the bright moonlight he saw the wagon was driven by B. Alexander and Paul Beruatto, two men formerly engaged in the salon business. Dressing hastily he proceeded up the railroad track and intercepted the wagon and team as it was crossing the wagon bridge. Under covering of hay the liquor was found.
 Deputy Sheriff Address took the wagon and men to the jail where the whiskey was unloaded and tho two men allowed to go on their own recog- nizance until Monday.
 Before Justice McWilliams both men waived preliminary hearing on Mon- day and Alexander was bound over to the Superior Court in the sum of $750 %. Beruatto was allowed to go on his own recognizance.
 Later in the week Sheriff Cash swore to a complaint charging J. w.. T-inders and G. W. Jordan with in- troducing this shipment of whiskey in- to the state of Arizona. They were and released on $500 bond each.

 When asked about the appointment of Tom Turner a negro porter on the A. & N. M, as a member of the Arizona launching party at the Brook lyn navy yard, the Senator said that there had been a great deal of fuss and hubbub over a small matter. The Senator stated that MT. Turner was not member of the Arizona official delegation and had not been appointed as such by the Governor.
 While in Phoenix the last time," said the Senator, 'T received a letter from Tom Turner, saying that he and his wife would be in New York at the time of the launching of the Arizona and that they would like to gain ad- mittance to the Brooklyn Navy Yard and witness the event. I took the let ter to the Governor, and not saying copper colored, asked that he and his wife be given credentials which would admit them. This was done. The credentials given Turner admit ted them to the Navy Yard as sight seers. He was not a member of the Arizona official delegation. That's all there is to the Turner. incident" concluded the Senator. You might add, however, said the Senator that Uncle George never goes back on his friends"
 Representative Lanford stopped only few minutes in Clifton and de. arted for Metcalf.
