 My brother comes from a race of patriots who know no other ensign save the banner which waves ''o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
 He has five brothers living, who are ready and willing to give their lives. if need be, for the defense of right. We have all been taught to love that grand old flag and the institutions it stands for.
 Thank you, good people, for the monument you design erecting. You are building better, perhaps, that you know, for generations yet unborn will point to that monument as a fitting tribute to an act of loyalty and their lives will thereby be influenced for nobler and kindlier deeds.
 Yours truly,

MINING WRITER TELLS HOW COCHISE COUNTY
 FIRST GOT ITS NAME
L. H. Davis, Resident of Tombstone in the Early Days, Accounts Interesting Conversation Relative to Naming County.

How Cochise county got it's name was interestingly told by visitor in Phoenix several days ago, L. H. Davis, mining editor on the Fl Paso Times, and well known in Bisbee.
 Davis is one of the pioneers of Ari- zona, having lived in Arizona in his younger days. It was while he was in Tombstone about the year 1880 that a committee met in Davis office to consider the naming of the new county which formerly had been a part Of Pima county. Davis graphically de scribed the atmosphere of the place when the committee gathered on this suspicious occasion.
 There we sat in this little office, y said Davis, in a reminiscent manner, "and none of us had much of an idea as to what to call the new county. Well sir, up stands Harry Woods and ad- dressed the committee with the power of an orator. He told how the most unheard of name had been wished on our town, Tombstone, and how he was going to watch it with name just as famous, a name that was known all over the west. And then he announced bis choice of 'Cochise,' chief of the Apache tribe.
 Well, you could have knocked the committee over with a feather. They asked me for an opinion, but hadn't thought of name and so I said that Cochise suited me, and it was a fit ting tribute to the old warrior chief, who had now laid down his arms and was engaged in peaceful pursuits. There was little talking and as we thought the matter over we came to the conclusion that Cochise was as good name as any, and so she stood"
 Davis then reverted back to some of the incidents of the early days of the wild times with lawless men and the opportunities that lay on every side.
 Davis is making tour of the state. particularly around the Weaver dis trict, where he has some gold mining Interests. While on his journeys he will gather up material for the big annual edition of the Times, which is planned to go on the press some time In the fall.

NO CLUE TO CRIMINAL
 WHO DROPPED ROCK DOWN JUNCTION SHAFT
Narrow Escape of Eight Men in Junction Shaft Saturday Night Attributed to Manner in Which Boulder Was Thrown.

Though every ef1ort is being exert ed no clue has at yet been found of the man or men who, on Saturday night, dropped a boulder weighing 14e pounds down the Junction shaft while the pumpmen were coming of shift and were being brought to the surface. Feeling is rife against the perpetrators of the crime
 That a crime was contemplated and figured out in advance is clearly shown by circumstances surrounding the en- tire affair
 The pump men come of shift be tween 10 and II o'clock at night, for one of the shifts, and it was while the cage was ascending from the 1S0O level that the rock crushed down the shaft It would have been impossible for a rock to be thrown from any of the levels while the shifts were going on or coming off for, at such times, the stations are. crowded with men.
 It has been determined that the boulder was thrown from the 1400 level of the mine. The shaft is con creted from the surface. The stations are also concerted. If the boulder had been thrown from the surface and had been dropped into the middle of the shaft, which is true to plumb, it would not have hit the side until after it had crashed into the top of the cage and, probably, killed aIf of the cccu- pants.
 As it was the first sign of the rock was located about 25 feet below the I40O level It would appear as though some one had stood on the station at that point and heaved the rock into the shaft It struck on the opposite side from the station landing and then bounced back and forth until it struck the side of the rising cage and mar rowly missed the eight men who were being brought to the surface
 More than remarkable was the es- cape from the accident of the men. Should the rock have been dropped from a greater distance and directly down the shaft its momentum might have torn the cage from the rope or would have undoubtedly broken it up so badly as to injure, if not kill, all of the occupants. In such case it is doubtful whether or not the exact cause would have ever been known
 Added care is being exercised by the operators to prevent a repetition of Saturday nights occurrence and efyery agency possible is being utilized to apprehend the perpetrator of the crime.
