HARRY PICKETT WILL
 BE WILSON EIEcToR

At the solicitation of friends in Cochise county and in Phoenix. Harry E. Pickett, formerly of this city and now Of Douglas. Thursday agreed that he would become a candidate for pres idential elector on the democratic ticket in Arizona, subject to the pri- mary election next month.
 Pickett was urged some time ago to become a candidate for the legisla- ture, but his solicitation was turned down on the ground that his profes- sional business would not permit the loss of the time required by the duties of legislator. However. he said that he would be glad to have the honor cf having his name on the democrat:. ballot this fall as democratic presi- dential elector and says if he receives the nomination he will find time this Tall to make some speeches for the democratic party and for Woodrow Wilson.
 Pickett has been a resident of Arizona since he was a mere boy liv- ing in Tombstone until he moved to Douglas to form a law partnership with J. P. Boyle few months ago. He will be an able candidate for presi- dential elector as he has always been loyal to the party and never promin- ent in any factionai fighting or party disturbance.

raUsIY FORD ;,-aij RUNS GOWN ~
 4 BIC Loeo WOLF

SOUTHLAND. Aug. 14.-There are so many stories about the Ford car that they have been gathered and put in book form. but here is one that happened in this section and was participated in by a couple of well known residents of Cochise county. It seems that Kay Riggs, having Jas. Hopkins for company. started from some point in the Riggs settlement for Dos Cabezas. right recently. taking along a shot gun with three or four shells. On the route they noticed a bunch of cattle acting in a peculiar manner and drove up to investigate. finding that a Lobo wolf was among them.
 The varmint, evidently concluding that discretion was better than volar, made nasty retreat when confronted with the armed Ford. A shot was fired but served only to accelerate the movements of the animal. Though handicapped in the start, Riggs de- cided to give chase. and the race was on in earnest. across country having m terrors for the .nnghty car and driver. Thinking that to run over the animal would end the excitement, Mir. Riggs let her out as they came close up to the brute. driving the car com pletely over the animal. but his sur prise was great to see the wolf jump to his feet and make his getaway. this time apparently on high" Re. suming the chase, the former exepri- ence was again passed through. More determined than ever that they would have that wolf if the Ford would hold out, they started again in hot pursuit This time it was do or die" with all
 oncerned and the wolf certainly did
 Iobly. but he had misjudged the capa- bilities of that little peace ship" and
 Is crew. When getting close up to he hurrying animal, Hopkins having dug up shovel from among the equip ment about the car. got out on the fcotboard and as the car passed over the brute, managed to give it a blow l that partially stunned it. so that he was able to get to it before it regained its feet, and dispatched it with the humble prospectors shovel. thereby cinching the s75.OO bounty and reward, | now on these calf killers

DID NOT W5Hxx0NNT0R ON
 so-cAlLep 90 PER CENT LAW

In reporting the presence in Tomb sione several days ago of Chief Jus tice Henry D. Ross. who was here on his campaign for reelection. the Pros .oected stated erroneously that Judge Ross had written the opinion on the so-called Arizona Eighty Per Cent Law. which We are pleased to correct. with the following communication rom one of MT. Ross supporters in Tombstone:
 You made a grevious mistake in the a ticle concerning Chief Justice Henry E. Ross record as a Judge of the Su- 1, Dreme Court. He did not write the opinion nullifying the so-called 80 per .:rnt law. That opinion was written ,y Justice Charles E. Hughes. mem OCT of the Supreme Court of the Uni ted States and now Republican nom- ir .e on the Republican ticket for the presidency. Please kindly make this correction in your next issue and state plainly that the law called the Arizona S. per cent law was nullified by a W ritten opinion of Charles E. Hughes and that Charles E. Hughes was then a member of tine Supreme Court of the United States. The 80 per cent law was an initiated measure and was submitted to the people by initiative petition. filed in the office of the sec retary of state of Arizona July 2nd., 1914. and approved by a majority of he votes cast thereon at the general election held on the 3rd. day of Nov | ember, 1914. There were 25,Ol7 votes for the amendment and 14,323 against.
 and under the provisions of the law | by a proclamation of the Governor dated December 14th.. 1916. took eff, feet on asid date
 Later suit was filed in the Federal ( ourt of this District and before Judge | William F.. Sawtelle. Of Tucson. Ari. l, ona. and then the case was trans. iered to California, and there three
 Federal Judges sitting. Judge Saw. telle wroe the opinion. which declared the law unconstitutional
 The state of Arizona appealed from the decision of the Federal Court to the Supreme Court of the United States. Wiley E. Jones. now Attorney General for the State of Arizona, rep. 1 resented Arizona in the appeal. At
 Washington, D. C., the Supreme Court of the United States declared the SO called 80 per cent law unconstitutiona
 as being in conflict with the 14th Amendment of the Federal Constitu I tion.
 The article appearing in the Pros pector of August 10th. concerning Chief Justice Henry D. Ross. Of the i Supreme Court of Arizona. does Mir
 Ross a great injustice when it says
 he wrote the opinion nullifying the SC
 per cent law as his record shows he
 has always been friendly to labor laws.
