GOV. HUNT IN ROW WITH THE WAR
 DEPARTMENT
"ashington's Request for Removal Of ' Adjutant General Harris Is Ignored; General Scott Turned Down.

PHOENIX, April 29- Substantial ing newspaper articles published last month regarding the demoralization of the Arizona National Guard, Arizo> na papers are printing an abstract of official correspondence between Gov Hunt, Adjutant General Harris and the War Department. The charge that the removal of Harris had been frequently requested by the Depart lnent is borne out by the Cicial cor respondence, which was furnished by Col. G. w McIver, acting chief of the division of militia affairs. It's aprrov- al was, recommended by Maj. Gen. Hugh l.. Scott, and it was later ap- proved and signed by Secretary of War Newton D. Baker.
 , Following the publication Of the eX- pose, Gov Hunt and Harris decIare9 that Captain Cromwell Stace+-. the Y . s. army officer detailed to inspect and 'rstruct the Arizona guard was i1lcon1- potent and that he was fomeat n 2 trouble in the organization. Harris fiatly denied that the governor had re- Quested Stacey to take charge of the guard and asked the department to direct Stacey to that duty until after the annual inspection.
 . ASh6Q concerning CrreSpOnQenc6 in which he highly praised Captain Stacey, the governor professed ignor- lance of such a letter. Yet the gover- nor's letters to Stacey and the War Department, in which Stacey is laud. ed to the skies are quoted in the De. lpartm ents abstract. After newspap. CT stories regarding conditions in the guard were published, the governor wired the secretary of war requesting Stacey's removal on the grounds of incompetence and for the good of the service.
 Col. McIver charges that the first discussion between the department and the Arizona militia arose as soon as Harris was appointed and has con tinued ever since. The abstract indi lcates that no officer will be detailed tc the Arizona guard until further de velopments justify a resumption O. the detail there" The adjutant gen erals request that Captain Var
 Schaick be detailed to the Arizon;
 guard has been denied by the depart ment.

CHIEF SCOUT WITH DODD IN THREE
 FIGHTS
Charles E Tracy, Former Douglas Cowboy, Back Here With Story of Hot Engagements at Tomachic and Two Other Places

| DOUGLAS, May 6.-Charles E. Tracy, former Douglas cowboy, now chief scout for Col. G. A. Dodd, commander of the Second Cavalry brigade in Mexico, is back here with an interesting account of three en- ,gagements in which he participated. He obtained two weeks leave to come here to visit his wife, but will leave for the front Monday. He has made an excellent record as a scout.
 Tracy's last fight was at Tomachic April P, when two American sol diers were killed and three wounded. The names were not given out by the officers. The engagement was be- tween 200 Villistas and 150 Seventh cavalry troopers under immediate command of Col. Dodd. With Dodd were his adjutant, Capt. E. s. Leary, Maj. A, L. Dade, Maj. Winan, Capt. Alvin c. Gillem, Capt. s. F. Dallam and Capt. William P. Moffett, off cers well known in Douglas, most of whom have families here now.
 Open Fire From Hills
 The Villistas were commanded by Gen. Candilario Cervantes, Gen. Rios, Gen. Dominguez and Gen. La Vaca. The last named was assassinated on the street of the town by one of his own men following the fight. When Tracy reported that the Villistas had the town, the Americans made quick march and attacked at once. They were mounted and charged the Villista soldiers whom they saw in the streets of the town. This was the signal c. a volley from the main body of Viliistas, who had hidden behind rocks and trenches on the hill .i,le about the town. The range mas C. yards. The fire was ho. Capt G. :em remarked afterward that there were more bullets flying than ill any aI 22 other engagements in whi Il l.e participated during his military ca. ,ear.
 The Americans, in the face of this fire, charged the Mexicans who were shoting from above.
 Bullets Plentiful
 T was at Col. Ddods side as he led the column,' said Tracy this after noon, and I know the fire was heavy. I saw one bullet land behind my horse and strike between the front legs of the horse ridden by the col onel. We started the fight at 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon, and the Villistas did not give up entirely un- til nightfall. They left 31 dead. How many wounded they carried away, we do not know. We had two machine guns, which helped a lot. There is no fear among the American soldiers. l never saw one of them finch. Col. Dodd, though GA years old, is wcn- der He is always out in the lead, always in the thicllest of any fight. He eats less, sleeps less and travels more than any man under him.
 Ranchers Rescued
 At , o'clock one morning badly frightened Mexican rushed into camp, and reported that Villa had two Amer jeans and eight Carranza soldiers surrounded in a Mexican ranch house 30 miles north of Guerrero. Col. Dodd sent out part of two troops, about 60 men, under Capt. Kendrick. I acted as guide. As we approached the VilMstas, about 30 of them crept up to 50 yards of us and fired. None of US were struck. We beat off the ban dits easily. Our arrival was fortunate for the imprisoned party which was

HIGHEST WAGES IN STATE

Bisbee-The local mining com panies yesterday announced that ow- ing to the average price of copper reaching 27 1895 for the month of Ap- Til, the miners and muckers in their employ as well as the other em- ployees would receive an advance of twenty cents each. This will make the wages of the miners $5. 50 per day and that of muckers $5.25. This is the highest price ever paid to miners or muckers in the state of Arizona and gives to Bisbee the hon. or of having that class of labor paid more than any other mining camp in the state.
