on which there was a cross between the names of Hunt and Osborn. which was thrown out by the court This resulted in his gaining one vote in the precinct.
 In Tucson preclGct No. l, Campbell lost four straight democratic ballots voted individually for him, and Hunt gained one on which the word yes" was written in the square following his name
 Hunts gain in the precincts com pleted to date amounts to IT, or IT less than his packers anticipated. It will probably require the remainder of the week to complete the count of the precincts submitted by him, after which if will be necessary for the Hunt attorneys to prove that the ballots in question are the same as those counted r.- the election of ficials. This will probably take some time, as some of the precincts have more and some less ballots than are shown by the names on the poll books. On this account it is very
 unlikely that there will be any con- sideration of precincts showing gains for Campbell in less than two weeks

PRE ETTY MAIDEN SAYS SHE WILL
 RULE AS CHEF

I am going to be the governor of Arizona" says pretty Willmae Maho- ncy. journal clerk of the senate. Miss | Mahoney does not propose being a third party to the Campbell con test case but in due time she hopes to occupy the position of chief executive of Arizona
 People will laugh at me now, but 1 will be governor just as sure as any i thing in the world. In two years from now l am going to represent my coun- | ty in the legislature"
 Those who stood within ear shot of the young woman did not laugh. In- stead they nodded their heads and said i If she says so she'll get it. Shes not quitter' They probably recalled the fact that Miss Mahoney came to Phoe- i nix from Winslow without chance of getting a clerkship. She went out to the | legislature. She talked to the patronage committee. She pleaded her case well and the job is not only hers but special | privileges as we'll.
 l T didn't throw over the perfectly 1 good job of managing editor of the i Winsow edition of the Arizona Leader nor of special correspondent of the AL l buquerque Journal to come down here and chase politics. l came down here to study-to find out how things are done. This is really the beginning of my campaign
 Miss Mahoney looks anything but the suffragist which she professes to be. She has dimples in the first place, and who would associate a girl with dim pies and laughino eyes with politics. Yet she is one and she had her alibi to prove it.
 You ask Sam Procter about me, she said and Sam duly said she was a l good scout who had defied her family | by being a democrat when every man of them had voted the straight repub- | lican ticket since ever there was such a thing as vote.
 Miss Mahoney isn't going to change her politics when she is old enough to vote even though her father, ]. F. | Mahoney who was superintendent of the reform school for a period of ten years, says he will disown her if she doesn't.
 Miss Mahoney, who is called Tom my at home, was graduated from the | Winslow High school and later at | tended the Sisters convent in Prescott. She is remarkably attractive young girl but even more charming than her beauty is her personality. It is some personality.

GASOLINE PUT j
 OUT BY PYRENE

Gasoline blazing in the gutter in front of the Fike stage line office 2t 10:3 3c o'clock last night, called out the down town companies of the fire department
 Before companies one and two could arrive on the scene, two employees of Fike's armed with Fyrcnc eXtinguish- CTS, completely squelched the fire. Two autos were standing in the middle of the fire area, and only for the quick work of the eXtinguishers, would have gone up in smoke
 As the department arrived at the corner of Central avenue and Adams, a driver of an auto, evidently thnkins that there could be no use for the water plug at that corner in front of the Santa F'e office. drew up directly in front of it, and there stopped his ma chine. There is a city ordinance against such an act, but the driver was not arrested. If the fire had been serious, the machine blocking the source Of water supply, would have hampered the firenien for bit of valuable time

HANGING BOY WINS
FIGHT WITH BUZZARD

SANTA ROSA, Cal, March 27.--A
battle between a giant buzzard and a
fifteen-year-old boy clinging to the
root OF shrub $50 feet up a straight
ledge of rock was won by the boy,
who Is now recovering from an ex-
perience that rivals Poe's fictional
terroTs. .. - .
The boy is Hans Mierbach and he
hung high above pile OF jagged
rocks for four hours. He was walk
ing on the brink of precipice when
his foot slipped and he fell over.
Twenty feet below he caught a root
and hung on. With his handkerchief
he tied his left wrist to the root and
then wrote a note to a boy friend,
bidding him farewell and saying that
no one was responsible for his pre-
dicament.
Just as he finished writing huge
buzzard flew down upon him and
started to peck at his head and body.
The hungry bird inflicted deep wounds
in the boys flesh. Young Mierbach
fought the buzzard with his free hand
for over an hour. He had been tor.
mented to fcnzy and was about ex-
hausted when the bird gave up the
fight.
AT nightfall a searching party found
the boy and rescued him. He had
nearly lost consciousness from his ex.
perience and loss of blood.

U. S. IMPOTENT, SAYS
BAVARIAN WRITER

ZURICH, March 27.-The press OF
the South German states, especially
that of Bavaria, assails the United
States even more violently than the
Berlin papers.
America has made war against us
ever since England decided to crush
u.s." says the Muenchener Neuete
Nachrichten. Under the hypocritical
pretence of neutrality the government
in Washington has permitted the
whole country to be turned into a
gigantic arsenal for the allies.
President Wilson and his cabinet
supported the infamous war of star
vation waged by England against our
women and children and denied our
right to defend our existence with all
means at our disposal.
Great Britain was permitted to
tear international law and all treat.
les to shreds. but of us President
Wilson demanded with high sounding
phrases that we not only scrupulous.
ly obey the law OF nations abolished
by England. but also his one.sided
Interpretation of 1t.
When we proved that we had the
means to prevent American shells and
tools of murder, which have killed
and manned hundreds of thousands
of our men, from reaching our enc
mics and 10 starve out England we
had to expect that the United States
would continue their bloody trade by
force.
THE proclamation of the unre-
stricted submarine war made it a
certainty that America, the secret
ally of England, would now come out
into the open. On February / the
entrance of the United States into the
terrible world conflict became un-
avoidable and the formal declaration
of war from Washington is now only
a question of very short time.
Our statesmen knew that the
United States would give up its sham
neutrality IL England was seriously
threatened. but they also knew that
the American declaration OF war can.
not change the general situation ma.
terially.
"The United States will not be able
to do more for England in the future
than in the last two years Our U.
boats will see to II that the muni
tions transports to England and
France do not increase again.
"Our national existence Is worth
more to us than the so-called Ameri
can friendship. which manifested IL.
self principally in the killing of our
brave men at the front The United
States would patronizingly pat us on
the back and say nice words for us
II we should lie down to die at Eng
lands feet. But we prefer more war
to this kind of friendship and will
fight on undismayed because we
know that victory is sure and that
the Judgment of history will not be
against,us. but against the American
government, which assists our enc.
mics to wipe our race from the face
OF the earth"
