HAS BEEN DRUNK FOR
PAST FIVE YEA

FAIRMONT, July 5.--Lloyd Ram
sey was adjudged insane last Monday
mornig by the Marion county lunacy
commission. Ramsey who lives on
Spence street, and has a wife and
one child eight years DID, is well
known in Fairmont and has been en-
ployed for the last two years as cook
at a local restaurant According to
the evidence brought out at his ex-
animation today Ramsey has been
drunk for the past five years It was
not until two weeks ago, however, that
his actions became violent and dan
gerous. At that time he quit work
ing.
Last Wednesday he went to Man
nington and after acting in a most
unusual manner and insulting num-
Der of women on the street he was ar
rested. The next morning he was re-
leased but again Thursday his actions
necessitated his arrest. Friday Chief
Watts of Warrington and Night Of
ficer Spear brought Ramsey to Fair
mont and he was placed in the county
Jail Saturday he was released and
taken to his home on Spence street.
That evening about seven o'clock he
slipped away from his home without
his clothes and created considerable of
sensation in the neighbor by his
attempts to gain entrance to a neigh
Dor woman's house and scared a num-
Der of young girls when he approach
ed them and attempted to seize one.
The local officers were called and again
placed him in the county jail. While
in jail and during his hearing TODAY
he smoked cigarettes continually and
for some time has been addicted to
the almost constant practice of this
habit 1t is said that the combination
of alcohol and cigarettes has pro-
duced a peculiar dementia in Ramsey.
Ramsey will be taken to the State
hospital at Weston where it is thought
that he can be best taken care of and
perhaps cured in a few months.

 ARIz. JACK RABBITS

PHOENIX. Fe5. 29.-Sta,e Game Warden Willard yesterday received a letter from John (. Speaks. game warden of the state of Ohio. asking to be put in touch with some one in this locality who could supply him with . coopful of live jack rabbits. il being the intention of the Ohio official to let the big animals get a start in that state. Mir. Sparks had seen the jack rabbits running about on the western plains and thought that they might offer a good target for the Ohio sports men to shoot at if they were once al- lowed 10 get start in that state. MT Willard is making arrangements to supply the Ohio warden with several pairs of the rabbits.
 Several weeks ago Mir. Willard ship ped several dozen Gamble quail to Mir. Speaks, and the birds will be liberated in Ohio and an effort will be made to introduce that bird into the stare. Tn Ohio the native quail is known as the Bob. White. and is somewhat differ ent bird from the one common in Ari- zona. Mir. Willard expects te get number of the Ohio Bob- Whites from Mir SI arkS and turn them loose iu the game preserves and see just how they would do under Arizona conditions.

 AID BY GOVERNMENT

PHOENIX, Peb 9 Tn a recent address in the house. Representa- tive Hayden made strong plea for govern ment aid in the matter of building na- tional roads. claiming that such con- struction is an absolute necessity and that the federal G vernment. as the operator of post roads, is vitally inter ested therein and should bear it's share of the expense.
 Congressman Hayden stated shat he could have wished the bill somewhat modified for the benefit of states like his own where the population is scant y 8 nd the road mileage great. but gave the bill his cordial support as being the best measure yet introduced.

ID DECIDE WHETHER
 THEY CAN OR CANNOT

PHOENIX. Feb. 2s-Not until after att torneys for the Southern Pacific. Santa Fe. and Fl Paso & Southwestern railroad companies get together in Phoenix on Feb. 29 will it be known whether the railroad> are to accept shipments of liquor into Arizona.
 The attorneys for the three big com- ranies are together here primarily be- cause of the ihrse cent fare hearing. which is to begin before the corpora ton commission March 1. The fare matter is now overshadowed in public interest by the interpretation they place upon the personal use decision of the supreme court.
 There is no question that any person has the right to bring liquor over the state line in person, provided that he does not intend to dispose of it in vio- Iaiicn of the prohibition law. The railroad and express company attorneys however. are undecided whether liquor shipments can be handled y common carriers

BRIEF HISTORY OF GEORGE
 OLNEY, CANDIDATE FOR GOV.
Graham County Guardian.)


 The Guardian is authorized to an- nounce the candidacy of George A. Olney as a candidate for governor of Arizona, subject to the will of the democratic voters of the coming pri- mary election.
 It has been publicly known for many months that strong pressure was being brought to bear on Mir. Olney by the democratic voters from every portion of the state, in an en- deavor to induce him to become a candidate. It has been represented to him that he was the man the people wanted, but not aspiring to public distiction, he until now. has persist. ently refused to give his consent to become a candidate.
 Hundreds of letters and telegrams have been received here urging MT. Olney's friends to advise him to be. come a candidate. The people Of this state wish to remain democratic, for they are democrats, and it is believed that with a man like Mir Olney head. ing the ticket, that the party will be so solidified that it will be impossible for the republicans to elect any off cer. either state. county or municipal
 It is particularly gratifying 10 the people of Graham county that MT Olney's first official announcement is made in his old home paper. Every one in this section of Arizona is a friend of George A Olney. He lived in Graham county from 1881 up to about seven years ago, when he moved to Maricopa county, so we know him and if there is a true Arizonan, one devoted to all of its interests. he is of the type of George A. Olney. The Guardian could write volumns about him. of his private life among his neighbors, and in Graham and Greenlee counties we are all his neighbors, but in a political campaign 1t is only fair to the voters to give the candidates official records. SC here goes:
 George A. Olney was born in Texas In 1881, while a very young man ht came to Arizona, which was about the time Graham county was created. be ing carved out of Pima county. Ir 1882 he was appointed under sheriff for the east end of Graham county s,pb now embraces Greenlee c'.un ty. He served in this capacity for fouI years. In 1890 he was elected sheriff of the county and served two terms and then refused to run again. While he was undersheriff and sheriff ol

 Mir. (. NJ Bruce tells the Star that the community adjacent to Huachuca have been intensely interested since the arr.val of the Apache soldiers. Considerable uneasiness was at first felt in regard to their presence but since the public have learned that the Apache soldier spends most of his time in the guard house the feeling of fear has passed away.
 IL seems as the young ladies of the city of Bisbee are getting to be quite liberal in regard to their valentine They are sending out quite a quantity of them this year. especially to those who keep themselves behind their society, and ii seems like they don't care very much for a fellow if he can. 10, afford 10 keep them up like Great Briton supports Queen Victoria.
