DECeLnDeE L6Llr 1871
Dear Sir:
what a difference a bicycle would
make in your boys lief
You were just such a youngster
once-brimful Of energy and bubbling
over with sheer JOY Of living.
Did yOH have TO stand on the side
walk and watch the other lads zip
ping by on their bikes-or were you
one OF the lucky ones that breezed
along the broad highway on a glis-
tening wheel Of your own2
If you didn't own a bicycle when
-ou were a bOy-Eive your lad the
happiness you were cheated out Of.
Let his bicycle be his athletic teacher;
deepening his chest, reddeuing his
cheeks, making his legs sturdy and
strong through life-opening up the
great outdoors and teaching him the
true joy OF living every minute to
the fun
And if you did have a wheel-well,
it's mighty safe TO bet that you won't
let the kid grow up without knowing
what il means to be astride a good
bicycle on a long slOping hill, with
nothing TO do but COAST
Your son or daughter haven't really
begun TO live until they own a bicycle
and with Christmas right next
doOr--this is about the right time
TO glance at our stock.
Andy the Way-yOur riding days
shouldn't be over. We've some classy
'grown-up" models that should in
terest you Wed appreciate a visit.
Sincerely, yours,

Something In A Name.

There certainly is something
in a name after all. The name
Murphy" used to be applied to
a potato until it commenced
soaring in price, and when we
thought of Murphy there was a
vision of a clay pipe and a shovel.
But some place back east there
was Murphy who accumulated
a bunch of kale before he died
and in his will he provided that
any young man by the name of
Murphy who would attend Har-
ward college should have his tut
tion paid from an endowment
fund set aside for that purpose.
Charles Murphy, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Murphy of this city, one of
our high school graduates this
year, qualified under the terms
and expects next year to enter
Harvard.

Fatal Railroad Accident.

The explosion of the head en-
gine on a double header pulling
train No. Z Wednesday evening
was the cause of a disastrous
wreck when the train was about
two miles west of Holbrook. re-
sulting in the death of Thos.
Moody, the fireman on the head
engine, and seriously injuring the
two engineers, Messrs. j. G. Will
helm and Frank Bailey, and the
other fireman, Frank Anselmino.
The force of the explosion wreck
ed the track, and both engines

ly one coach is carried on this

ular with all who enjoyed the

Contest Is Settled.

Gov. Campbell has been legal
ly declared governor of Arizona.
After five long weary months
the gubernatorial contest insti-
tuted by Gov. Hunt against Gov.
Campbell has finally been set
tied. Judge Stanford, before
whom the hearing was held,
handed down his opinion late
Wednesday afternoon IN favor of
Gov. Campbell. In his final re-
view of the testimony offered on
the validity of the ballots cast in
the contested precincts the Judge
rejected Douglas No. l because
of the fraudulent work of the
election board, which was the
only precinct rejected. Snow
flake precinct, which was tempo
rarily rejected at the request of
the Hunt attorneys, was restored
to the official count.
The decision of the court was
not a surprise to those who have
been closely following the testi-
mony introduced at the hearing,
and the final decision of the
Court was along the lines he
originally laid down at the out
set of the case, that he was not
disposed to disfranchise a pre-
cinct for minor violations where
no fraud was apparent.
The official count of the can
vassing gave Mr.. Campbell a
majority of 30, and Gov. Hunt
refused to surrender the office,
claiming fraud in the count. The
supreme court granted a manda-
mus, and Gov. Campbell was
seated as the de facto governor,
pending the outcome of the con-
test. The original order was for
a survey of the ballots to locate
any apparent error or fraud in
certain precincts enumerated by
the Hunt attorneys. At no time
was sufficient errors found to
change the official count, but the
contest was continued as a fish
ing excursion to find some tech
nicality to change the result. At
the conclusion of Mr.. Hunts side
of the case, Gov. Campbell's at
torneys at once uncovered the
fraudulent work of the election
board in Douglas precinct, where
the testimony and the ballots
showed that the officers were a
bunch of drunken crooks, who
had remarked nearly fifty of
the ballots in favor of Mr.. Hunt,
on whom they were betting large
sums of money. The rejection
Of this precinct was the death
blow to the contest.
There was no occasion for the
contest in the first place. and Mr..
Hunt was inveigled into it by
the horde of democratic appoin-
tees who wanted to continue the
tenure of their graft as office
holders. To them the rights of
the people mean nothing. 1t has
been an expensive trial to both
sides.

Additional Locals.

Mrs. Mary Connell, fourth vice
president of the grand lodge of
the ladies auxiliary of the B. II.
T., was in our city last Saturday
regarding organizing an auxi-
liary here. The wives, mothers
and sisters of trainmen are eligi-
BILE to membership, and all those
interested can get all the infor-
nation by calling on Mrs. E. A.
Houghton.
Last week we inadvertently
neglected to mention the old
fashioned dance given by the
Parent-Teachers' Association in
the Santa Fe opera house. 1t
was given to raise money to pay
for the flag given the high
school, and it was abundantIy
successful, both financially and
socially. The somewhat rheu-
matte efforts of the old folks to
dance gracefully the old-time
quadrille and Virginia reel, and
the equally grotesque efforts of
the young folks to acquire a
knowledge of the dances furnish
ed an abundance of amusement
during the evening. The success
of the evening was largely due
to the untiring efforts of Mrs.
Murphy, president of the asso-
citation.
With the warming up of the
blood the war spirit is getting
hold Of number of our young
men, and they are beginning to
offer themselves to the govern
ment for service. City Attor-
ney G. G. Bazell left last evening
for San Francisco to enter the
training camp at the Presidio for
three months. J. w. Biller, of
the Western Union, expects to
leave as soon as notified 70" San
Diego to enter the signal corps,
and O. G. Faulkner, chief clerk
in the train masters office, will
go to San Diego to enter the
navy. Several other young men
have offered their services and
are only awaiting official notif-
cation where to report. Wins
low can be depended on to fur
nish her full quota of young men
for the service without any con-
scription, as soon as it is apparent
there is real need for their SER
vices.
