Champaign Escapes

Two men were shot i'm an affray
which occurred at Clarkia at about
'cur o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
The principals were All Cham
)aign, Ed Clennert and man
FAMED Graham.
Champaign and Chnnert had
trouble early i'm the day, which
terminated i'm a fight i'm which
Champaign, who is said to have
been drinking heavily got the
worst of it. Later the trouble
was renewed, Graham taking a
part i'm it ON the side of Clinnert
whereupon Champaign drew "a re-
voNer and began firing at his OPP
.ponents.
Clinnert was shot through the
hand and Graham received a bull
let in his arm through the
elbow. The inquired men were
brought to PlatCs hospital i'm this
city wher their wounds were
dressed. 1t is thought that nei-
ther man is seriously hurt. After
the shooting Champaign took tC
the woods and has not since beer
seen and his whereabouts are un-
/ known.
Clarkia is i'm Shosone count,
and word of the shooting was sen
to the officials of that county a
Wallace. Sheriff Robert Pfiel o.
that county came over Wednes-
day and went up to Clarkia bu
did not succeed i'm getting am
trace of his man and returned to
this city that evening. If Cham

who will supply him it will be
difficult matter to locate him il

of The four murderers to be ap-
pretended.
The last murder was the killing
of Nick Katzes, who was struck
i'm the breast with an axe by Tom
Giros and died from the effects of
the blow. Giros took to the
woods and although it is reported
that he has been seen twice since
that time the sheriff has failed
To apprchend him. On one of
the occasions ON which he was
reported TO have been seen the
party who saw him telephoned the
fact To this city and the sheriff
was notified. He was attending
Chautauqua meeting at the time
and il was not until the next fore
moon that he sent a deputy out to
look for Giros, who, of course,
HAD disappeared before the Of
hcer arrived.
Among The other crimes COM
lmitted during this period were a
large number of burglaries, the
most of which were committed i'm
Ithis city, although there were sew
eral i'm other parts of the county.
These have been so numerous and
frequent that it is impossible to
recall them all at this writing.
Among those which have occurred
i'm This city are ST. Maries Hard
ware Co. Idaho Laundry, Geo.
lO'DWyer's warehouse, e. NJ. Davis
& Sons store, the Missouri res
taurant and Oliver Nelson's store.
The sherir's Office has been un-
able To get amy information i'm re-
gard to any of the parties who
committed these crimes and not
one of the perpetrators has been
brought TO justice.
other burglaries were commit
ted at Pummer and several al
different places up the branch
line. The only arrest made in
connection with any of these
crimes was that of several lum-
bcriacks. accused of rObbine
Blackwelrs camps. Two of these
men walked out of the county jai
and after spending some time a
different places i'm the city left foi
parts unknown and the other tw'
were acquitted at their trial.

Judge John c.. Rice of Caldwell
was i'm the city Wednesday i'm the
interest of his candidacy for Jus
tice of the Supreme Court. He
is we'll known throughout the
southern part of the state as a
lawyer of force and ability, a
man who would add strength and
virilily to the Supreme Court and
whose opinions would command
the confidence and respect of the
bar and of the people.

Rice. "and I have less than day

EPIDEMIC OF CRIME
IN THIS COUNTY

This vicinity has been suffering
for many months with what seems
to be almost an epidemic of
crime, ranging through the gamut
from bootlegging to murder. IL
was thought that with county dl-
vision and the sherin's Office To-
Gated here there would be less
crime than with no sheriff near
butthis has not been the result.
There has been far more crime
i'm this vicinity i'm the past year
and half than for any like per-
iod i'm its history Four murders

other crimes is an appalling rec
ord and one that we certainly
have no reason to be proud of.
Last November Oscar Olson, a
prominent rancher living near
Fernwood, was murdered i'm his
bed and, although the county has
spent large sums of money in the
way of expense accounts for the

The second murder occurred

been found.

THE RECORD ADDS
NEW EQUIPMENT

The increase in our job print
ing business has made it neces-
sary for us to put in a power wire
machine and one was in
stalled in the job printing depart
ment this week. The business
of this department has grown to
such am extent that a stapling
machine would no longer take
care of the work, forcing us to
enlarge our equipment.
With a Mergenthaler Linotype
machine to set the type and a
power stitcher to do the binding,
we are equipped to do any kind of
catalogue, pamphlet, check book,
receipt book, order blanks, or any
kind Of blank book or blank work
neatly and satisfactorily and in
the shortest possible time. Our
overhead expenses and costs Of
operating are so much less than
those of job printing plants in
the large cities that we can give
our patrons much better figures
than they can get elsewhere, while
at the same time giving them as
good a class of work as can be
1 obtained anywhere.

 During the last school year this county had v school districts, with an average daily attendance of 5.677.27, and an average annual cost of S4713 per pupil in the grammar grades In 1914 the average daily attendance was 5.366.11 and the average annual cost per pupil was S42.77. The annual cost per pupil has been increasing as the number of districts have increased, during the last several years. The in crease cost per annum. per pupil during a period of five years is $12.37.
 But increase in cost of educating boys and girls is never objectionable in fact, commendable, if they are get. ting better advantages that are mak. ing better men and wOnen. more cap able of fighting the battles of life and becoming better citizens
 In concluding this paper. it is neces. sary to leape many matters unmen- tioned. that have been given time and attention, but these will be dealth with in our statistical report that will be completed and published within a short time.
 If the results of the five years labor have justified the cost of maintenance of this association, the qualification is immeasurable, if not, the consola- ton of having done our best, unflinch- ingly and courteously is our reward.
 The county officers have all extended to us the recognition of our beinb interested with them in tsudying the problems that are of common interest 10 all taxpayers and to faithful ad- ministration of the county's govern ment. If we have all together sue ceeded, the reward be theirs. We crave no honor, but are always content with economic results.

 After watching the hopeless delibe- rations of the legislators in attempting to frame a salary bill, for month, and discovering the reasons why an agreement among them was seemingly impossible. your secretary drafted a salary bill and presented it to the Com mitteee on County and County Affairs, who in turn presented it to the lower house. That bill is the present law, with the few natural changes, that is on our statutes today. It is not thing 70 be proud of, but the only one that oould have possibly settled the dead. lock at that time.
 The application of this law gave relief to all counties in the state, prin- cipally on justice precincts. The appli- cation to this county makes a differ ence of $1 100000 per month in favor of the tax payers.

TAxPAYERS' REPORT DISCLOSED FACTS 0F
 COUNTY'S FINANCES
N. Gaines, Secretary of the Cockis County Taxpayers Asscciation, Makes Report to Governing Body.

10 OoVerning Dcoy.
 To the Cochise Officers and Members
 of the Cochise County Taxpayers
 Association.
 Gentlemen:
 This being the close of the fifth year of the operation of the Cochise Coun' ty Taxpayers Association. it seems meet t' a general summing up of the thing smpted and the things done should be of interest to you at this time.
 This association was organized in February 1911. its officers elected for the ensuinb year, among whom your humble servant was elected Secretary. and has had the honor of being re-elect- ed each year thereby being in constant service of the association during the whole period, giving periodical ac- counts of his stewardship ill the shape of Annual reports of the receipts and expenditures of the county in general and of each department of the coun- ty government in particular, showing comparisons of the costs of the sev- eral years through which We have passed, having same printed in book form and mailing copies to all of its members and to many other taxpayers who have not, as yet, associated their interests with ours, but who have shar- ed with us in all the benefits of our work and its results. The news pa- pers have been very kindly disposed toward our efforts, throwing their col umns open to the publication of any articles We deemed necessary for the reading public.
 The inalieEable right of any taxpay- CT to be informed about how the mon ey he pays into the public treasury. is going to be spent, to know how much he is getting for his money, to consult with the officers having the power to dispurse public monies, to investigate contemplated public i'm provements, to discuss the feasibility of any proposed public expenditure, is being more generally realized by pub lie officials who have to do with the ex- penditure or public funds, when judg- ment sUDr1red by a knowledge of the business 10 be transacted, is used. and due deference to official opinions is shown.
 Legislative Work.
 Your secretary has been in attend ance upon each and every session of the State Legislature since We have been a state and has had to do with much of the legislation that has had to do with our county affairs, and some that has had to do with the state as a whole
 When we became a state, under constitutional provision, boards of su- pervisors fyed the salaries of all coun- " officers including precinct officers. Tn most oc the counties the salaries were fixed bout any knowledge of he am0un+ cf work or the responsi- klity of the different officers whose salaries were being fixed, and as these salaries were to remain as fixed by the supervisors, until fixed by law. a salary law for all the counties in the
