INITIATIVE NEEDS
REFORM, SAYS
OSBORN

PHOENIX, Ariz Feb. 1-Amend-
ment of the election laws to prevent
fraud. reduction of fees charged by
the--state for public service, and the
general distribution of new laws in
printed form to the people of the
state are recommended by Secretary
+ STATE Sidney P. Osborn, whose an
Inual report to the governor was COM
pleted and signed late Saturday.
Under the existing law providing
for signatures to petitions for initial
led or referred measures, Secretary
Osborn states that it is impossible
to ascertain whether or not the sign
erS are qualified electors or have any
right to sign the petition. Because
of this, fraud could be easily prac-
ticed and if practiced would be prac-
tically impossible to detect. Any
qualified voter has the right to
sign an initiative, referendum or re-
call petition and as the statutes do
not require registration in order that
a person may be a qualified elector,
lures to petitions
That the charges prescribed by law
for the copying of laws and performx
ing other services is entirely too high
and in some cases eXorhitant is the
statement of the secretary of state
who would reduce the fees so as to
cover the actual cost and nothing
more. Excessive fees the report says,
result in a loss of revenue to the
state, because they prevent large
number from obtaining copies of the
laws who would otherwise do So
Newly enacted laws, the report rec
commends, should be printed for gen
eral distribution and would be of
great practical benefit.
Initiated Measures
That the initiated measures were
expensive as well as numerous at the
last election and bid fair to become
even more SO is shown in the report.
IN 1912 the publicity pamphlet con-
tanned only 81 pages and was mail
ed to. only some 10000 persons at
cost of a little over $4,000. Last
year, however, nineteen propositions
were submitted and the publicity
pamphlet contained 1f6 pages. 1t
was printed and mailed to- 7O,1S1

BOWIE BANK CLOSED.

j. D. Prewitt, constable of the
Bowie precinct took charge of the
Bowie Bank and Trust company,
which closed it's doors January 81 on
instructions from State Auditor Cal
llaghan. No. announcement was
given as to why the bank was closed
and no officer of the company could
be found in Bowie today.
Joseph Armstrong, president of the
bank, left for the east on train No.
2 yesterday, according to reliable in
formation. Cochise county had 81
500 on deposit in the bank. Harry
Rose, county treasurer, is in Bowie
looking after the county's interests.
The bank is capitalized at $4,000.
Bowie, Feb 1.-The vault of the
Bowie Bank and Trust company was
found empty when it was opened to-
day by J. B. Ormond, of the state
auditors office. The combination
was obtained from William Arm
strong, who was apprehended at San
Simon He is being detained but it
is doubtful whether he can be con-
nected with the affairs of the defunct
institution.
Tht police of various cities have
been notified to be on the lookout
for Joseph Armstrong, president and
cashier of the bank, who absconded.
Saturday. The Cochise county funds
which were in the bank we're protect
ed by a guaranty company.
Because the Bowie Bank and
Trust company was>%Sta1ked to- death"
and a run was being made on the
institution, Cashier G. J. Armstrong,
locked the safe, closed the bank
building and took the next train
to Ell Paso. These reasons for the
sudden closing of the institution were
set forth in letter from Arm
strong to State Audior J. c.. Gala
CHAN yesterday.
In his letter Armstrong says that
the bank was one of the strongest
in the state, but that enemies of the
circurlated reports as to
it's condition. Heavy Withdrawals,
which practically amounted to a run
on Friday, followed. In view of
these circumstances, Armstrong said,
he felt that the best thing to do
was to close the bank and leave town.
Armstrong said nothing in his let
ter as to whether or not he ex-
pected to return to Bowie.

FINDS DEAD BODY.
Tragedy Uncovered Near Lordsburg
Last Week by Nick Hughes, Jr.


The body of a~man about five feet
five inches in height and weighing
about 155 pounds was found in a clus-
ter of mesquite bushes two miles from
lLordsburg, south of the Arizona and
New Mexico railroad tracks, Thursday
morning by Nick, Hughess Jr:, while
searching for some stray horses. The
body was so mortified that none of the
mans features could be identified.
There were no visible marks on-@the
body but the head was mutiiated :.
Wagon tracks alongside the corpse
and the posture in which the body
was found all indicate murder, foul
| play being evident and the body re-
moved to the<remotes group. of bushes
to end the incident. The wagon
tracks were discernable. for only a
short distance. From the condition
of the body the deed must have been
committed several months ago.
! The only identifications are as fol-
lows; A handkerchief with the in
itial e and a laundry mark P-14,
some cigarettes, an empty whiskey
flask, and some clipped advertise
nents concerning a kerosene lamp.
The man wore a blue pin striped suit,
a pongee silk shirt, Walkover shoes,
grey cashmere hose, light weight I'M
derwear and a blue necktie. A
rough bever hat and a Southern Paci-
fic lead pencil were also on the re-
mains
The man had sandy beard and a
few gold teeth in his upper jaw.
Several clues are being followed
down. The man may be B. N. Dris-
kill of Houston, Texas according to
one good clue. --Lordsburg- Liberal
= Later
A.
of an unknown man discovered near
-Lordsburg, N. M.,.-last Thursday, is
that of Edgar Behlam, a member of
a we'll known family, and prominent
real estate dealer of San Francisco,
was established this week when De
tective Ben Williams, of Ell Paso,
arrived home from Lordsburg, where
he had been working on the case.
According to Mr. Williams, who
was called from Ell Paso,- 1identifica-
-tion of the remains which were partly
decomposed was made through some
bridge work on the teeth, which cores
bonded exactly with the description
wired by relatives of Behlam from
San Francisco. Behlam disappeared
from San Francisco last summer,
shortly after being married to the
daughter of a prominent and wealthy
Californian A brother of Behlam
was in the city a short time since in
an effort to locate his brother, a
search for whom had been instituted
in nearly every city of the country :
:. Mr. Williams wired a. absorption of
the body to- relatives of the missing
man in San Francisco When the
relatives wired concerning the bridge
work on the teeth the identification
was complete, as the description
correspondent with that of the dead
man. - -
So impressed We're the relatives of
Behlam. that they wired the detective
that someone close to the dead man
will arrive in I1ordsburg Tuesday for
the purpose of making the Identified
ton complete.

Big Cattle Deal Made

Big Cattle Deal Made
One of the largest cattle deals of
recent years was made last week when
the stock and property of A. Lock
lear at Thompson canon North of
Lordsburg, was sold to the Jones
Brothers (Rufus and John.) The
property is well known as the Crow
foot Cattle company ranch and is
considered one of the best stock out
fits in the county being formely I'M
der the management of Cap. Jack
Crawford now of Folsom, N. M. The
Jones Brothers will take immediate
charge of the outfit and will doubtless
make a success of it as they have in
enterprises with which they have
been connected in the past. 1t is
believed that Mr.. Locklear will de-
vote his time to other interests being
a director in the Peoples Savings
bank of Silver City and a prominent
southern Grant county rancher. 1t
is understood the consideration of
the deal was in the neighborhood of
$40, 200. 90.
