Jim's fat neck sank deep into his
collar, his eyes bulged, and his whole

been after me ever since I refused to

Olney Selects Local Manager

Geo. A.. Olney, democratic candidate for governor of Ari- zona, accompanied by w. T. Webb and w. w. Pace, spent last Saturday in Holbrook work in the interest of his candidacy. The News editor enjoyed a half hours visit with MT. Olney. and we found him to be a very intelli- gent and pleasant person to meet.
 While here MT. Olney closed an agreement with Q. R. Gard ner, county supervisor of NavaJo county. to act as manager of his campaign in this and Apache counties. MT. Gardner at once entered upon his duties and ac- companied the Olney party to St. Joseph and WinsIow.
 The selection of MT. Gardner is a splendid one. He has been identified with the political af- fairs of this county for years, having been a member of the state assembly for one term and supervisor of Navajo county for two terms. He is a man ot unimpeacheabIe character. a good mixer and has a host of friends who will do all in their power to nominate Mir. Olney in the pri. mary election. The political cam. palgn of the candidate for gover. nor could not have been placed in safer or better hands than in those of Q. R. Gardner.

Land Filings by State

One of the largest single filings on public domain by the state land department was made Mon day by Commissioner ". A. Moeur, when he listed tracts in the neighborhood of the Dixie national forest, amounting to 53O, ,OO0 acres.
 By executive order, President Wilson recently turned most of the Dixie reserve Tn Arizona back to the public domain. It lies Tn Mohave county, north of the Grand Canyon. Not very much of the district has yet been sur veyed. and the application, filed with the United States land office Monday solicits the immediate survey of such tracts as are listed, but not yet surveyed.

Both con- demned men were until recently residents of Yavaipai county, and when questioned by acquain- tances, were indifferent to the fate which awaits them. Their crime was revoltlng in which the victim was first shot through the head and killed, and his body then thrown into the lake of the Johnson Cattle Co.,, with a rock tied to his neck to cover up the deed.
 The body. however. rose to the surface, was found and the hunt for the criminals started. The Azbills were located and ar rested in Yuma county, and the trial took place nearly one year after the murder. Thomas was a young man of nearly "A years. and was with the Azbills on a hunting trip from Phoenix. It is presumed he carried consider able money and this inducement led to his being killed.

C. H. Moore Lost in Mountains

Os IT. MOOIS LOSL ut NHOuItIOttS
 Charles H. Moore, son of Mir. and Mrs. C. w. Moore of HoI- brook. and brother of Harvey Moore of the local telephone ex- change. has been lost in the Rocky mountains near Frazer, Colorado, since sometime We'd nesday, July 5. Early that day MT. Moore. who is a field sur veyor of the United States for estry service now working near Frazer, left his camp and start ed out alone to check up some work he had done on the previous day. He took no lunch with him as he informed his companions that he would return by noon. Since that time nothing has been heard from him by his coworkers, nor hls relatives in Holbrook, who were notified by wire of his disappearance.
 Harvey Moore. brother of the lost man, left Holbrook Tuesday night for Frazer, it being thought that the search might be contin- ued with more vigor if it were directed by a relative. Young Moore who was in good health when he left camp, and his com panions have been unable to ex- plain hls disappearance. Had he fallen and injured himself he would almost certainly have been found by the searching party that was started out early the day after his disappearance.
 The father and mother of the young man. and other relatives and friends in Holbrook. have not abandoned hope that he will be found alive. Further infor- nation about the missing man is as soon as his brother Frazer.
