For Little Folks
Mr. Fox and Ms. 'Turkey.

It had been hard, cold winter for
Mr.. Fox; snow had been on the ground
most of the time, so there was little
for Mr. Fox to eat most of the time.
The turkeys and hens had stayed close
to the barnyard and most of the time
Mn their houses, SO one morning when
the sun was warm Mr.. Fox, who was
driven by hunger nearer to the barn
yard than he usually went in the day
time, was surprised and pleased to see
Mrs. Turkey and her family walking
toward him. down the road.
Mr.. Fox was so excited that he al
most ran toward them, but he was
wise as we'll as hungry, and knew that
if lie was lucky he might entice Mrs.
Turkey and her family to walk with
him, and by doing SO could get the
whole family instead Of one for his
dinner.
He smacked his lips, thinking Of the
days he would feast for he had spent
mapy days that winter tasting. but

GRIM TRAGEDY IS EN-

A grim little tragedy was enacted in the county attorneys office yester- day that resembled in many ways the third act of Way Down East, where the stern old man tells the re- lentless husband of the heroine to Get out before I throw you out" or words to that effect The principals in the scene were pretty Polish woman and her husband, Tom Sabin, an auto stage driver. and County At torney P. w.

 The Polish couple formerly lived at Humboldt and, if the stories told by witnesses are true, the wife was forced to lead a rather gloomy life night she left her hus- band, taking with her $40, which is said to have been hers. Yesterday she purchased ticket to this city and was brought in on an auto stage driven by Sabin. When the stage arrived in Prescott, friend hus- band was on hand to meet it.

LAUDABLE MOVE TO
 MAKE CITY MODERN
(From Fridays Daiiy.)

Instead of mudholes, Prescott is
 soon for the first time in its history
 to have modern streets.
 Mayor Timerhoff announced yester- day a plan of action which meets with the hearty approval of all residents, and which is to be energctically car ried out under the direction of MT.
 King, of California, who is equipped with over ten years experience in that State in road building, when associat- ed with the highway commission.
 The plan is that after gutters arc finished, now under construction throughout the city, scariier ma chine will start digging up the soil. to depth of approximately six inches, after which a 13-ton distillate-pro- pelled roller will smooth down the surface. A specially-designed ma chine with the oil preparation, heated to 300 degrees and carrying up to nearly 85 per cent of an asphalt com pound, will then sprinkle the oil on the surface. A light capping of gravel is the finishing work
 It is claimed that this method of street improvement is being intro duced in many Western States. The first point selected for experimental ton is North Mt. Vernon street, and probably next Monday the work will begin. Nearly all the machinery ar rived during the past week and is stored at the city warehouse, on the s. F. P & F. track, while the tank, which holds two carloads of the oil preparation, was placed in position a few days ago. It is estimated that the streets to be paved will aggregate over ten miles in length.

TOM CAMPBELL'S
 PHOTOGRAPH POPULAR
(From Thursdays Oaily)

(From Thursdays Oaily.)
 If the number of their pictures is any criterion, Hughes, Tom Campbell and Judge Kibbey will easily carry Prescott at the general election. In scores of stores and office windows photographs of the men have been put on display and are attracting much attention, particularly those of Camp bell, whose face is familiar to every Arizonan. Tom Campbell is conceded by all, even the most hide-bound Democrat, to be the handsomest man who ever ran for office in Arizona and, outside of advertising his candi- dacy for governor, enlarged photo graphs of him are being used by many enterprising merchants to draw atten- ton to window displays, for, accord ing to modern theory, there are two things that will cause any woman to look into display window,-a mirror or picture of a good-looking man.

straightforward, unhesitating and honest stand upon these matters he was repeatedly cheered.
 Judge Otis ]. Baughn, candidate for Supreme justice, Joe V. Prochaska, candidate for secretary of State and Norman J. Mckenzie, candidate for State mine inspector also made short addresses.
 The meeting was concluded by Miss Rose Winslow, a prominent cam paigner of the Woman's party. Miss Winslow bitterly attacked Wilson and the Democratic administration for their failure to endorse the suffrage issue.
 E. E. Anderson, State organizer for the Hughes Alliance, who joined the campaign party at Williams yesterday is meeting with unprecedented sue cess. Throughout the entire afternoon Mir. Anderson was securing hundreds of new members for this popular or ganization. Men and women, Repub- licans, Democrats and Socialists are all lining up in support of Charles E. Hughes as result of Mir. Anderson's efforts.

EASTERN PEOPLE TAKE
 OVER TWO GOLD GROUPS
(FIom Thursdays Daily.)

Two quite important mining deals were closed in Prescott yesterday, the Independence group of J. A. Forbes, of the Jersey Lily country, and that of J. H. Cross in Crook canyon, being taken over by D. NJ. Locey and asso- ciates of St. Louis and Chicago.
 The Forbes deal calls for a consid- eration of S25,0OO and that of Cross for $l7,500 In both transactions the owners admitted that a satisfactory first cash payment had been made.
 The Independence has been active at intervals for many years, and treat mcnt has been given on the ground by small testing mill, returns being satisfactory in gold values. The Cross group has also been in a productive stage for over two years, a gasoline propelled arastra treating the higher grade free milling output A large tonnage of low grade ore has ac- cumulatcd on the dump and ready for stoping, and a mill of 100 tons capac- ity is to be erected at once.
 Mir. Locey stated yesterday that both mines will be placed in an active operating stage immediately and close corporation will be in charge. In connection with the Forbes deal, it was also reported few days ago that San Francisco mining men who hold options on other properties in that belt, are ready to take over a large gold-silver-lead group, in which merger is to be effected, and opera tions will begin inside of 60 days.

 This action did not appeal to Sabin and he decided that the proper au- thorities should settle the ownership of the money, SO he marched the cou- pie up to the county attorneys office and let them tell their story. The woman could not speak English but several witnesses of the trouble de- scribed her husbands treatment of her, and when they had finished, there remained little doubt but what Mir. Pole had no right to the money nor to prevent his wife from leaving him If she so desired.
 Pointing one hand at the man, the county attorney ordered him to give the woman the money without any further argument, and then with the same hand pointing at the door he requested the Pole to make use of i, as quickly as possible before the law was enforced against him. The Pole disappeared like a flash and a few minutes later his wife left, endeavor- ing by her smiles to show Attorney OSullivan her appreciation of his ac- tions. No arrests were made in the case

NICE MAN, BUT
 UNFIT TO BE PRESIDENT

FLAGSTAFF, Oct. }. - Driving home his points with added force and eloquence, Governor J. H. Kibbey, Republican candidate for United States senator, told crowded opera house, filled with attentive listeners, what constitute the vital issues of the campaign, both State and national.
 President Wilson is a man of high ideals. Of unquestioned integrity, per haps the best educated president we have ever had. His patriotism is, perhaps lofty, he is an estimable gen tleman but, he is obviously not fitted for the high office he holds" Gov ernor Kibbey told his hearers.
 The presidents training, his en- vironment for many years as head of an institution of learning where he has been instructing unmatured minds has not equipped him with the execu- tive ability necessary for successful president. He still points the 'ad- monitory finger coutioning others to behave or they might be stood in the corner and then fails to back up his threats in a serious manner"
 Governor Kibbey discussed many questions tonight. He dealt with the canal tolls act, the Mexican question, tariff and the situation that will con- front the nation at the close of the European war. As he explained his
