FRANK HALE KILLED
A Shooting Monday night on the Gala basas Road, Resulting Fatally to an Estimable Young Man.

NOGALES-Monday evening there basas a shocking tragedy which result ed in the death of well known and popular young man, MT. Frank Hale, of the Fowler-Hale Jitne Company, the victim receiving a fatal wound at the hands of Sergeant Adams of G Con- pany, Twelfth Infantry, U. S. A.
 As the story is related Frank was driving a party of soldiers out to the amusement park at the willows and had stopped on the road to assist a car that was in trouble. Before the machine was started again another car driven by Allen Hale, drove up with another party of soldiers. A dis pute ensued between the two parties of soldiers which after some talk was arranged and the machines were about to proceed when Sergeant Ad- ans, who was in the second machine, drew his gun and fired shot, more in exuberance and a desire to make a noise, it is alleged, than from any de- sire to harm anyone, much less Hale, with whom he had no difficulty. The bullet from the pistol struck Frank in the left side, passing through the liv- CT, splitting kidney and breaking the backbone.
 The fatally stricken man was hur- ried into town and taken to St. Jo- seph's hospital, where the services of Doctors Sneaker, Beckert and Miamia- gaw ere requisitioned; and all that skill and care could do to save a val uable life was done. The young man fingered along until Thursday after noon at 2 o'clock, when he passed away.

MOGOLL0N ROAD |S A LIVE
 ISSUE
Mogollon Mine Managers Will Make Survey From Stockton Ranch to Little Dry Creek.

That the Mogollon Mine Managers, Messrs. Rider and Anderson, are taking a lively interest in the pro- posed Clifton-Mogollon road, is evi- denced by a letter recently received by W. s. Bradfield, Secretary of the Greenlee County Chamber of Con- merce:
 Upon the return of the committee from Clifton, who had a meeting with the Mine Managfiers at Stockton ranch in March, the comparative freight rates between Clifton and Silver City, on the commodities used in Mogollon, were furnished the Mine Managers. In response MT. A. J. Anderson, of the Socoro Mining and Milling Co.,, writes as follows: q was glad to get your letter of March 25th in regard to rates. Since our meeting with your committee
 question of the road from Clifton to Mogollon seems far more practical and desirable than heretofore.
 MT. Kidder' has suggested survey from the Stockton ranch to Little Dry Creek, which he will do as soon as we can. It would seem possible to re- duce this distance to a considerable extent.
 To put our end of the road in the condition you propose to put your end would mean considerable outlay. However, with the reduction in trans portation rates which you estimate, the outlay would be justified, and the matter will be given consideration. ["

GOV. HUNT LAUDS POLITICAL CAREER
 AT BANQUET

DOUGLAS, April 24-The banquet extended to Governor George W. P. Hunt and other distinguished visitors at the Gadsden hotel Friday nigh; proved itself to be an excellent vehicle for bringing Governor Hunt into the open with an announcement of his can- didacy for a third term. He took oc- casion in his speech to lambast his enemies in his usual versatile style, hitting heads here and there with little discrimination. His one and only reason for running was that he had been subjected to insidious at Jacks, many of them; everybody had taken a whack at him, in fact, and he, George Washington Peter, was not the one to stand hitched in the face of said attacks. For that reason ! (dont forget that) and no other, his Kelly is in the ring and he has taken a high dive at it.
 The banquet was preceded by a con- cert by the First Cavalry band in the balcony of the hotel, during which course the governor held re- ,ception. Several hundred people passed through the lobby and were presented. The crowd was busily combed by his lieutenants, who insist ed that every one should be introduc- ed.
 [ At g o'clock the guests, numbering about fifty, assembled in the Gadsden cafe.
 Preaching in Arizona was the sub ject of the Rev. Hubert L. Sparks, who was announced by the toastmast- CT as the man who put hell on the map" The speech contained no dis appointments, although MT. Sparks made no mention of the sport which had made him famous.
 D. A. Richardson, who was to have answered the toast, "Arizona's Gov ernor," cleverly evaded the issue and introduced the Hon. Dan M. Jackson
 judge of the district court of Ell Paso county, Texas. Judge Jackson spoke of the good roads of Arizona, of her wonderful mountains and of her magnificent scenery. His speech was interrupt ed several times by laughter and ap plause, and he intimated that if ever Arizona got tired of her present gov ernor, or if her present governor was defeated by a Republican vote, he would find ready welcome in Texas
 He promised him a Democratic ma jority of 3O0,000.
 IlG governor then arose JO T0SpOuC to the toast, Looking Backward ir Arizona He had evidently failed tc
 catch the title of his address, as his looking backward consisted of [
 review of his own official virtues
 and actions, while he took occasion from time to time to look forward
 to the coming campaign and electins
 himself. His enemies were treated
 with unsilent scorn, although he said
 If he had been controlled by then he would be riding in a gold automo
 bile instead of a white one.' h' : also upheld the constitutional conven : tion as being models after which th' : rest of the world might well copy , He insistedt hat he had fling o' high the banner of righteousness ant of humanity and very dramatically de
 claimed that as long as a shred O flesh hung to his aching bones, or
 corpuscle of blood coursed through hi
 veins," he would not retreat from tn , stand he had taken. Essentially man of peace, he said he would hay r peace with honor or would fight.

BULLET FOLLOWS
PECULIAR COURSE
Leaden Missile Which Snuffed Out Life
of Hugo Alvine is Found Lodged
in His Backbone.

DR.. A. H. Beam. county physician, is
credited with the statement that not
a bullet in a thousand would have
pursued the peculiar course taken by
the one that killed Hugo Alvine, spe-
cial agent for the Rock Island lines,
in Silvis yards of the Rock Island road
several weeks ago, and for whose
murder Dan Chastine is held. DR..
Beam conducted the autopsy for the
purpose of acquiring the evidence that
possession of the bullet would give.
Entering the chest between the sec
ond and third ribs on the left side,
the bullet took a downward course
and struck the backbone at least one
foot lower than the point where it en-
tered. Its course to that point was
not so difficult to follow, declares Dr.
Beam, but its course after striking
the vertebrae had the physician and
DR.. R. c. J. Meyer, coroner, puzzled
for long time.
Finally IN the hope that 1t would be
found somewhere in the backbone, the
spinal column was removed and the
remarkable feature of it was that the
bullet was found lying within the
spinal cord and at a point fully II
inches above where it struck the
backbone.
About the only explanation the ply
stefan could give was that the bullet
had struck the backbone at an angle
that caused it to be DETECTED upward
and that 1t had then shot upward in
side the spinal cord. But even that
explanation seems rather vague, he
said.
That the bullet was lying loose with
in the cord, he says, was shown by the
fact that it dropped out when the cord
was removed from the backbone.
