Thinking OF soldiers far away,
AS in the camp they lay.
But when II is day,
They will have to go away
To fight the enemy.

That the United States authorities are after the slackeTs in all parts of the United States is very evident from the numerous tele grams and letters that are being received by the sheriff's office asking that infor- nation be sent to the effect that va rious parties had been reistered in Cochise county. Letters and tele- grams have been received from San Francisco. Los. Angeles and New Mexico.

 Several parties in Cocl,ise county who registered have already lost their certificates and have written in Tor duplicates. These will not be furnished by the sherin-s office. as the provost marshal general has rul- ed otherwise. All who have lost their certificates must furnish the county board. which is composed of Sheriff Wheeler. Coumy Recorder krebs and County Physician c. H.

The only word received concerning the drawing and the exemptions is to the effect that the county board. compos. cd of the above named. will handle these matters and that there vii! be no precinct boards.

 REPUBLICAN IN STATE. .-ED|T|0N

In it's mammoth l00-page State wide edition. issued Sunday, and .n which every section of Arizona vas embodied. the Arizona Republicai oi Phoenix. contained the following con cerning Tombstone. which IS re printed for the benefit of cur read CTS:
 A detachment of United States troops early in the summer of 1879 marc lcd from Wickenburg to Fort Hua :huca With the soldiers was a prospcctor. His name was Ed Schiefflin. When they were cross ing the san Pedro alley the prospec- tor disappe: red with his burro outfit. This was right in the very midst of the Apachr ridden country. and the Apachcs that summer were if any thing ;- little more hostile than usual.
 The prospector went into the hills 10 the east in the day time he hid out from the Apaches. He pros pected during ihe night What he discovered in the way of minerals led him Io believe he had come upon bonanza. II later developed that such was the truth.
 Schiei lin. after some time passed in the mountains. without being dis covered by the Apaches. went to Globe. Here he showed his ore samples 10 his brother. Albert, and to Richard Grebe He proposed to return and asked them 10 accom- pany them. The story is that when they were about to leave with their outfit SchieTlin was advised in words something like this:
 If you attempt to open q mine in the Apache country you will find 2 tombstone and not fortune"
 Schiefflin thought that sounded pretty good and so he named one Of the best claims he had located The 1 Tombstone" From that claim the great mining camp that soon sprung up there was named. As luck will sometimes prove. Tombstone was To- cated in one of the prettiest places 10 be found anywhere. The gifts of nature were showered on the region around the bonanza with the grew some name. The name has stuck ever since. the county seat or Co chise county being loathe 10 part with ! 1t Tor another whenever such a pro | DOsal was made.

and the said alleged absence from the land was not due to his employ. ment in the Military service render ed in connection with operations in Mexico, or along the border thereof, or in any mobilization camps else where in the Military or Naval Or ganizations or the National Guard of any of the several States. .--
