MUCH LOCAL TALK
 ON COLONEL 5 SPEECH

Perhaps the most inspiring thing in Phoenix yesterday, outside of the cir GUS noise, was the frequency with which favorable comment was hearn on tre great speech of Theodore Roosevelt at Battle Creek. published in the Sunday Republican. It was quite natural that this should be es- peciaHy noticeable at headquarters of the Hughes Alliance, although every day is q busy day now at these of ficas.
 It is not so much the new things that Nr. Roosevelt refers to, though he is constantly. turning over some thing that needs airing, but it is the vigorous manner in which he delivers his blows He not only has something to say when he seeks the platform but no one who hears him or reads his speeches, is ever in doubt as to what he said.
 Plans for organizing the Hughes Alliance in other county towns are rapiGly developing. Miss Egelston, wto. in connection with her other work. will look after the interest of inc alliance ir some of the other counties, left yesterday morning for Globe
 The alliance occupies the only suite of ground floor offices in the Elem ing blcck. between the two banks, and cverv person who has even the slight est Hughes sentiment regardless of party utilization. is urged to come in and help in the good work All are invited to call secure literature, and feed tie hungry heart.

CHICAGO, oct. 2.-"Jumbo" Steihm. Indianas s new coach. has developed an open offense that is likely to cause upsets in big nine calculations this tall. according to experts who re- viewed the opening battles in central states football.
 Indiana may be reckoned now as dangerous eleven, always able to slip over a long pass, say critics who base their statements on reports of the hoosier defeat of Depauw yesterday.
 Prospects are bright at Notre Dame, judging from the one sided win over Case. As a scoring machine. the Gold and Blue eleven bids fair to rival some of the best in it's history. Coacn Harper's new quarter back, Chester Grant is expected to prove star.

MARTIN DIES KNIFE WOUND;
 WIFE SOUGHT

Marto Martin, Mexican day labor CT, staggered up to his home i'll Tem- pc, at 1880 last night. and dropped dead, a gaping wound in his neck. Mrs Palomino a friend of the family, saw him fall, and reported to the of ficars, what proved most all last night, m unsolvable mystery. Tempe, Phoe nix and Glendale were searched last night by men from the sheriffs of flee for the ex-wife of Martin. thought to have committed the murder.
 There was hardly a clue on which the officers could work. Marshal Browning of Tempe, hurried to Phoe- nix to cooperate with the local police in an effeTt to locate Sonora Martin, who had been seen. 1t was thought in the south part of town. The search proved futile.
 Sheriff Adams and Deputy Brawner went back to Tempe with Browning. and thoroughly investigated the scene. But for one spot of blood on the ground. at the corner where Martin had turned, in going to his house, there was nothing to guide the off cers to the spot where the blow had been struck-ro sign of a dagger nc indications whatever. No one had witnessed the act or if it had any witnesses, they would not speak. At late hour last night the wife of Martin had not been found. Sus- picion is directed at her chiefly be- cause of the well known i'll feeling that had existed between the pair since they separated. Jealousy on the part Of the woman, is thought to have prompeted the murder Of her | faithless spouse.
 When the body was investigated, it was found that a knife lad been driven into the neck, near the right | collar bone. While no vital spot was l struck, the wound opened some big artery and internal hemorrhages caused death. but rot until after ths dying man had staggered. probably some distance, and had entered his own door yard.

Twenty -four hours after the tragedy. the police and cor oner's inquiry had failed to disclose any substantial evidence of how the three women met their death.
 Without any supporting proof of the fact, I am inclined to believe that death was due to asphyxiation but there is sufficient doubt to warrant the deepest investigation and that I promise to make MT. Tobin stated tonight
 Preliminary search of the mansion for leaking gas or lamps of a fatal nature has failed to show any per manent source of such danger
