present, says the Fallon Eagle.
Lee Sepulveda waived his prelim.
mary and was put on the witness
stand for the prosecution. According
to his story. he and Mitchell rode
to the Williams Estate Co. corral
where the Levy beef cattle were be-
ing fed and Lee guarded the gate
while Mitchell cut out the cattle they
wanted. Then they drove the stock
to the slaughter house OF the Fallon
Strengthening and Supply Co., and
turned them over to Swift, who weigh
ed the stock and gave tag for the
weights and amounts. II was agreed
that the money should be split in three
parts.
The next morning. the witness
claimed. he went TO the Fallon
Strengthening & Supply Co., Office
and received a check for s396.25. The
tag was made out in the name of L.
Holt TO whom the check was made,
and he said he took 1t to Mitchell

and drew the money. He claimed he
and Mitchell then went to box in the
restaurant at the Barrel House and
spread the money out on a table and
divided it up. The Mexican claimed
that later he gave one third of the
money to Swift at the Churchill no.
tel, this being done in the hall and
that they left the hall by different
ways.

Ion Strengthening & Supply Co, testi
fed Swift had gradually been given
more and more authority in buying
until he occasionally purchased sew
eral head at time; he related In
cidents concerning the purchasing Of
the six head in question.
In the course of the examination
the Mexican stated that after the
money had been divided, Swift told
them everything was all right; that
he had burned the hides. Mr.. Dolf
stated that after the arrest he ques.
toned Swift who insisted he had
nothing TO do with the taking of the
cattle; but when Mr.. Dolf asked
what became of the hides, he said
THAT Is hard one" But he finally
said the hides were stolen between
Friday and Monday. Lester Page
employed by the Strengthening & Sup
ply Co. was also a witness and stated
that when he cleaned out the furnace
at the slaughter house after Swift's
arres. he found pieces of beef hides
partly burned; that he called the at
tention of Sheriff Wildes to this who
took some of the pieces.
Mrs. Hammond, bookkeeper ant

In AnSwer to a Slough of
SARCASM AND PUNK WIT.

We had enjoyed the thought that
Dunbar's Weekly was the only simon
pure asinine exhibitor of journalistic
imbecility in Arizona. We may have
to divide that honor, however, as be-
tween Dunbar's and the Phoenix Mes
senger, after reading the Messengers
sarcastic bombast anent the throwing
out Of Snowflake box, as relating to
the Hunt Campbell contest before the
court.
Sarcasm is usually employed by
those who can't. produce any other
argument, whatever the case, and sar-
casm is usually relished by the un-in
formed to the edifcation of the mis-in-
formed, therefore, sarcasm is the tool
of the coward to mislead as we'll as to
mis-guide.
We fear, however, that the Phoenix
Messenger has overlooked a few things
in it's overflow of punk political wit. In
whipping the devil round the bush it
came near making itself believe that
there are only two real-sure- enough
Democrats voting at the Snowflake box,
viz: The Inspector Of that election and
his brother. This phenomenal come-off
may be responsible for the whole show,
as the Inspector admitted his ignorance
Of the law directing the duties of an
Inspector, and because his brother,
candidate, was not able to carry his
home box.
In other words, had we polled a
majority for the Democratic ticket in
that election we would not have COM
mitted any semblance of a political sin
lin the eyes Of Dunbar's and the Mes
senger and few other one-eyed-ideaed
partisans), but, being American free
born citizens, we exercised the consti-
tutional right to vote our honest senti-
ments, and thus it so happened that
majority voted the Campbell ticket,
only this and nothing more.

is CRIME TO GO UNFINISHED?
(From The Bisbee Review

What steps, if any, have been
taken toward the prosecution of the
men engaged in the election fraud in
Douglas precinct No. II, says the Ari-
iona Republican. 1t was suggested
at the time month ago when this
matter was fresh in the public mind
and the guilty parties were endeavor-
ing to secure the fruits Of the frauds
by perjury, that the federal govern
ment should take it up since the
election of congressman were effected
by the frauds. But last Monday the
United States supreme court, in the
Rhode Island conspiracy cases, hand
ed down a decision which, while not
declaring that the federal govern
ment is without jurisdiction in mat
tiers arising out Of general state
elections, greatly restricts it in such
cases.
Therefore, unless those frauds,
which were of the grossest characters
are not left to go UNPUBLISHED, action
must be taken by the state. If the
state takes no action, and any citizen
can initiate proceedings, no Arizonian
can complain with good grace if the
same thing should be attempted two
years hence.
The forebearance of the state
would be an incentive to renewed at
tempts since it would appear that
those who corrupt the ballot have
nothing to lose and something to
gain. That in the Douglas incident
they did uot ''get away with it" is no
sign that they will not succeed the
next time.
But, is it true that they did not
''get away with it?" We rather think
in the light of later developments
that they did. Not directly, of
course, but effectively. They stole
forty-seven votes from Governor
Campbell and though they were not
allowed to keep them, the votes were
not returned to him. Their failure
to make a "clean getaway also fur
nished the reason and the only reason
why Snowflake precinct was attack
ed, resulting in the loss to Governor
Campbell of 118 votes, and the dis
reimbursement of an honorable, law
abiding community. Altogether we
think the corruptors of the ballot at
Douglas appear to have executed a
very successful bit of thievery.

Judge Stanford of the superior
court of Maricopa county in his recent
ruling in the HINT Campbell contest,
in throwing out the Snowflake pre-
cinct, has perhaps occasioned more
surprise than any happening in the
procedure. Heretofore in rendering
decisions the court has given logical
reasons for so doing, but in this in
stance he gave no cause for granting
the prayer of the contestant.
The Snowflake precinct is now
placed on a par with Douglas No. l,
where everything base in politics was
resorted to on election day. This no
doubt is the hardest slap in the face
a Mormon community has had to take
from court Of justice in Arizona,
and will not be forgotten when our
distinguished judge comes out for the
supreme bench. Even our most loyal
democrats resent the insult, because
of knowing the integrity, the truth
fulness, friendship and standing Of
such fair-minded democrats as Ellis
Stratton and w. H. Shumway, officers
of the election, who say there was no
tinge of unfairneSs whatsoever at the
polls.
0. D. Flake, Navajo county's
representative and a resident of
Snowflake, has been the chief insti-
gator in this matter. He received
only 80 out Of 200 votes in his town,
and to repay them for the respect
shown him he has spared no time nor
means in deprecating it's citizenship.
In all probability future history will
record that Snowflake, like our
Savior, had it's Judas Iscariot.
The Winslow Mail is fornenst
the proposed good roads bond cleo
tion If one didn't know the situa-
ton in it's true light it would be taken
for granted, after reading the Mail,
that Winslow is big enough and proud
enough as she is, don't need any
more roads and don't want anybody
else to have roads. But, that's not
it. WinsloW wants more roads and
better roads. WinsloW also has a
feeling that some day she will be a
county seat of a county all her own.
Good. Any live wire town is to be.
commended for aspiring to be county
seat. And now is the time to be
neighborly, because, can Winslow
ever hope to be county seat without
the consent of the good people of Nav
ajo county? Why not be charitable?

FOUR LITTLE CHILDREN
DESERTED BY PARENTS
Authorities Put Tots In Orphans Home
at Twin Bridges Where They
Will Be Cared for.

Dillon. One of the most pitiful
cases brought to the attention of local
authorities for some time is that of
the desertion of four children by their
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Barney Sharkey,
according to County Attorney w. G.
Gilbert The father of the children
left Dillon at Thanksgiving time, leav-
ing for parts unknown. Later, it is
said, Mrs. Sharkey followed the exam
pie of her spouse and left for Butte,
with the evident intention of securing
employment in that city. That she
was unsuccessful in her quest seems
to be proven by the fact that Butte
officers were unable to locate the
woman.
The children, ranging in age from Z
to less than l year, were left in the
care of an aged and crippled grand
mother at Grant. County Attorney
Gilbert took charge of the case and
ordered the youngsters committed to
the care of the Orphans home at Twin
Bridges.
