unt-CdmpbeH Election Contest
 (Arizona Gazette, Dec. 28.)

With the Maricopa county in spection of ballots complete the Hunt contest looks decidedly wobbly. The governors claims of hundreds of mismarked ballots have been found to be entirely without foundation. The in spection is proving tremendously expensive, but it is said will be continued.
 There is an unconfrmed rumor that Senator Ives. chief counsel for the governor has intimated that Hunt will have to be pried loose from his office by legal pro- cess.
 No statement as to Hunt S plans has been made, and a deep impenetrable silence overhangs the state house during the closing hours of the administration.
 The present plan calls for Gov ernor-elect Campbell to take the oath of office before the chief justice of the supreme court Saturday morning. This will be filed at once with the secretary of state.
 Monday morning at 10 o'clock, the new governor will deliver his inaugural address from the capi- tol proticol. This will be short, and will briefly outline his policy.
 The presiding officer of this function has not been selected. Judge Sloan, the last territorial and republican governor of Ari- zona, may be the man, if Gov. Hunt refuses to serve.
 Immediately following the in- augural the governor will pro- ceed to the executive chambers where it is expected he will be met by the retiring governor and the affairs of the office turned over to him.
 Should Hunt decide to retain physical possession of the office the courts will be invoked. and a dispossess proceeding institut- ed.
 In any event on and after high noon next Monday Tom Camp bell will be governor of Arizona.

The Yaer's Sheep Supply

October receipts of sheep at western markets were heavy, all the principal points showing gain over the corresponding per iod last year. The big gain was at Chicago which had heavy run from Montana and was back in the feeder business, from which it was excluded by quaran- tine last year. Omaha passed the half-million mark and Kan sas City made a good showing. The only decrease was at Sioux City, which can hardly be con- sidered a sheep mart of magni- tude. Denver came to the front as a leading primary point. The years receipts show gain at Chi cago. Kansas City, and St. Louis, but decreases elsewhere. National Wool Grower.

No Legal Fee Required

Editor of the Winslow Mail has filed his editorial brief in the election contest. He agrees with Dwight and Charlie, hence there are three of a kind. Lawyers frequently break into print but only an egotist will attempt to instruct the court unless he gets a legal fee. "-Phoenix Mes senger.
 No legel fee is required to get an editorial brief out of the edi- tor of the Mail. He can be de- pended upon to argue the case, instruct the court and render a verdict. His egotism is colossal, and his discretion is nil. Xvi dently he has never read that

Sprinkle Streets With Booze
 In order to make a complete cleanup of all the business of the office before turning it over to his successor on the first of Jan uary, Sheriff Jeff Adams applied to the superior court for an or der to destroy the whisky and beer in his possession which he took charge of with the arrest of bootleggers.
 The order was granted, and Friday at II o'clock has been set as the time when it will be trans ferred from the bottles which contain it now to one of the city's sprinkling carts and sprinkled on the streets.
 This has been decided on as a much more satisfactory way of disposing of it than to empty it bodily in one place in the street. The whisky is mostly in pint bottles, which will be emptied one by one into the sprinkling cart, and when all are emptied the wagon will be driven over the streets with the valve open, that the contents may be spread far and wide on the city's thor oughfares.
 A large quantity of beer is included in the intoxicants con- fiscated, and all will be placed in the sprinkler together, and it is estimated that it will about fill one of the 5OO-gallon wagons. - Phoenix Gazette.

Gou. Spry Escapes Assassination

GoU. Spry Escapes Assassination
 A dynamite bomb was placed against the Utah governors resi- dence last Sunday night by an unknown person. A heavy fall of snow during the night pre- vented an explosion of the bomb, otherwise the house would have been wrecked. Gov. Spry was away from home that night, hav- ing been delayed by a railroad blockade, but the members of his family were in the house, and all would have been killed had the bomb exploded.
 The outrage is supposed to have been perpetrated by mem- bers of I. w. w., who have re- peatedly threatened Gov. Spry. since he declined to stop the in- fliction of the death penaly upon Joseph Hillstrom, a member of that order who was executed for murder about a year ago.
 Rewards aggregating $5, ,000 have been offered for the appre- hension of the culprits who placed the bomb.
