CANNON GUARDS
 STATE CAPITOL

Cannon guarding the state house. Horrors.
 It may be horrible and all that, and 1t may cast a reflection on the peace ful instincts of q certain class of pol iticians, but in spite of all that, Care taker Jim keane has mounted d can non on wheels painted the carriage and cassiOn all in nice green with white trimmings, has hronged the can non up until il shines like new. and will within a day or SD, wheel the an cient field piece out In front of the building where it will menace the new ly laid tarVia stretching away down Washington street for a half mile or so Everyone at the state house has agreed that hundred rounds of grape shot fired from the piece, could not make the tarvia look any worse than 1t does now
 The cannon is n relic of the Civil War. having been cast in 1864. Wheth- CT or not it was ever used in any of the battles of that great conflict is not known. but 1t is known that the old piece has reposed for many years until it was green as the grass it lay upon al Fort Whipple. The carriage and cassion have been at the Fort for many years. In fact, Capt. Temple ssistant adjutant general. who came to Arizona way back in the dark ages. when Geronimo was teaching Chinese music lessons to the white population. stated yesterday that the carriage was at Fort Whipple when he first wan dered into the fort as a rookie. fresh from Buffalo. New York He aitec- tionateiy refers to the old piece as
 old Annie and declares that his ear Hest experience in the army was pol ishing her sleek sides, until he could see his own face reflected
 The cannon will not be placed in front Of the state house for protection. but merely as an ornament In fact 1t is doubted if the old veteran will stand the ordeal of being shot. Col. Harris stated yesterday that he was of the opinion that old Annie" would dis solve Into q million pieces. if good sized shot" was placed in her in nerds" and q match applied at the proper spot
