The Experience of Alfred Tlippel and Party In
 the Catalinas

Alfred Trippel who returned to the city yesterday has had an experience that few can boast of and which non residents who have heard stories about the torridity of this part of the coun- try will believe with difficulty. He was showed in for nearly two weeks in southern Arizona.
 Just before the late snow fall in the south winch covered Tucson with a three inch blanket, MT. Trippel and a party went into the Catalina noun. tains and had reached an altitude of nearly 5000 feet when they were over taken by the storm. It fell to a deptl of five or six feet.
 Their friends were at first anxiolx about them but a telephone message from forestry station relieved ap- prehension but did not open a way fo, their return. One can travel on foot through six feet of snow without mak ing very fast time but one cannot take horse or burro through a snow of that depth. The animal tendency is to lie down in very deep snow. The Trippel party being encountered with animals, therefore had to wait. so that it was twelve days before they saw Tucson again.

Last Sunday, Countess Morajeska, who was at Florence received d tele-
 phone message from her husband who was at Red Rock, asking her to bring Mir. Dick to the owls Head the follow ing day. He said that he had been having trouble with Carpenter and ex- pected more. The countess telephoned Mir. Dick who arranged to accompany her on Tuesday. The roads beyond Florence were in such a condition that the journey was not completed until
 Thursday.
 Arriving at the cabin, Mir. Dick and
 the countess found no one but on searching the vicinity they discovered
 the counts watch and his rifle and a little later a pool of blood and indicat- tions of a struggle. The stock and bar rel Of the rifle were also covered with blood stains. While they were search ing in the neighborhood Charles Ben
 nett who lives in the vicinity came up and said that the count had had trou- ble with Carpenter and had been taken to the old cabin formerly occupied by the late Captain Jeffords about two | miles away. Bennett said that he knew nothing about the affair.
 The count was found at the cabin. | He was horribly beaten and his throat showed that he had been chOked. He i said that on Monday afternoon he was

 REGISTRATION
Books Will Be Opened At City Hall On February 3, Will Close Ten Days Before Primaries and Reopen Later

City Clerk Frank Thomas is a busy man these days preparing for the opening of registration for the approaching primary and general elections. Registration will begin at the city hall at o'clock, February 3 and will continue until and in cluding February 21, when the reg ister will be closed and remain closed until ten days after the pri- mary election on March 4. On March II books for a supplementary registration for the general election will be opened and remain open un- til March 24, ten days before the general election.
 Every person otherwise eligible to vote at the primary or general cleo tlons, will be privileged to vote un- less he or she shall have registered at this time.

approached by Carpenter who threat ened him and after few words with
 him he turned away to feed his horse. He remembered that he was struck violently on the head from behind. When he became conscious, he lay in the Jeffords cabin. He did not know who had taken him there. He said that he had told Carpenter that his wife and the sheriff were coming whereupOn Carpenter said, q will get you and will get them when they come"
 The count was brought to Florence yesterday and his injuries were treated by Dr. Hoffman. When his hair was shaved away it was found that a charge of shot had been poured into the back and side of his head. Of the shooting the count had no knowledge. 1 There is a theory that after he had been beaten into unconsciousness his
 assailant attempted to quiet him for l ever.
 Sheriff Hall and two deputies left Florence yesterday for the Owls Head
 to make a further investigation of the affair.

 The Music
 When asked about his Dlans for Sunday, Professor J. G. Grath. who is Tn charge of the music at the revival serNlces, sad: Phoenix has had some very memorable music. I pre- sume no one has forgotten the Brown and Curry chorus of two years ago. But l propose to make Sunday q neVer-to- be-forgotten day in congre gational singing. We will have the chorus, but we will have a great chorus in the pews. Everyone will be singing. It is a fact that I would prefer to have a seat empty rathe, than occupied by g man or woman who are unwilling to sing. This may sound harsh. but congregational sing
  ing IS the greatest winning agency aside from the preaching, in a church today
 We will sing some of the best known revival hymns. Charlie Till mans wonderful song. Save Me Through and Through Since Jesus Came Into My Heart" song bI RhodeheaVer in the Rillv S,nda, meetings, and in some of the ol6 tune campmeeting, songs that oul fathers and mothers and their fathers and mothers used to sing.
