INTREPID SCOUT TRAVELS
 TRAIL OF BEYOND
(From Saturdays Daily)

Emmet Keogh, an early-day Ari- zonan, brother of Patrick keogh, famed as a military scout, passed away at Sherman, Texas, recently, at the age of 7o years. His death was due 10 blood poisoning. his right hand being wounded slightly by a nail while opening a box containing several cans of syrup. The third day after being injured the infection de- vcloped, and although amputation was given, the deadly malady could not be checked.
 A press account of his death is quite interesting, as 1t revivcs his thrilling life for many years on the San Carlos reserve, when he was with his brother engaged in Apache Indian work in the field. The Ger onimo episode is recalled, and all though the deceased was not on the ground when the surrender of this chieftain to General Miles took place on the Mexican border, Mir. Keogh, however, was a civilian factor in as -isting the military to effect this coup. The article revives names in military fame dating back to 1872, among the commanding officers men toned being Generals Howard, Crook, Kautz, Willcox. Miles, Chaf- zee. Lawton. while of lesser rank are Captain Crawford, Captain Leon ard Wood( now a Major GeneralD Captain Burke. Captain Lynch, Lieut. Thomas. Cnow g Brigadier General. rctired.l and many other Indian lighters of fine military record. Mr. Keogh particularly mentioned Lieut. \. O. Brodie, of the 2d L. s. Cavalry, stationed at Camp Apache, in 1872, when this young officer gained fame in whipping with detachment of IS troopers six times that many red skins. for which he was commended by the secretary of war, and by Cen cral Howard. whom he was escort ing to Camp Grant The above of- f'cer finally reached the rank of Colonel. T.. s. Army and while on the retired list passed away in New ter sey during May, of this year. Col. Brodic was governor of Arizona un- der the Roosevelt administration. Mir. Keogh lost an eye in an Indian fight, and was wounded five times during his thrilling border life He has a nephew residing in this county, Phil lip Sheridan Grogan, a miner in the crome field. who has been advised of the death of his uncle.

WORKMEN HERE TO |: START JOB AT WHIPPLE
(From Fridays Dailv)

A force of nearly TOO workmen ar
 rived in Prescott on last nights train
 from Phoenix. and this morning the
 first actual construction work on the big hospital at Fort Whipple will be
 started.
 The first group of buildings to be erected will consist of an administra-
 ton building and a number of mess halls and bunk houses, this group be- ing designated primarily for the use of the men who are working on the big contract. Several carloads of building material are now here and other shipments are arriving daily, and within the next two weeks a large part of the lumber. cement, tile, etc, which will be used in the con structiou work will be on the ground
 All of this will be under the direct supervision of the construction quar- termaster ana will not be in charge of the post commandant or any of the other military officials who are permanently attached to the barracks.
 No attempt will be made to secure any s;zable amount of help from Pres colt. but the officers in charge will make arrangements to gather their building crews and laborers from various points of the State. For the past three or four days four large cars loaded with cement have been standing on the tracks at Fort Whip pie while the government was being demurrage at the rate Of S4O per day simply because nobody could be found in Prescott who would help unload the cars, but with the arrival of the party of workers from the south last night, the present labor shortage will, for the time being at feast. De eliminated. It is said that within the next 30 days. more than 2.O0O men will be brought here from different points in the southwest toI work on the new hospital, the gov ernment using the same methods toI secure big punches of help as were applied locally several weeks ago when the federal authorities wanted men for work at the new powder plant at Nitro, West Virginia. The first buildings to be put up at the fort will therefore be those which will be necessary to house and feed this big army of workers ard until this is done, no attempt will be made to begin work on any of the perman- ent structures in the hospital group.

CONSERVATIVES DO
 PLATFORM WRITING

PHCENIX, Oct. 3.-After adopt ing a. platform written for the most part by the conservative wing of the Democratic party, the Democratic council adjourned. Only after bit ter fight were the radicals defeated in their attempt to insert a plank op- posing the adoption of any amend ments to the constitution during the period 1f the war. This plan was aimed at the working mans compen- sation act The wobblies were pres cnt in force. Among those who at tended ;hc meeting were George D.. Smith. Socialist candidate for gover- nor, Joe Mcbride, Lester Doan and H. s. McCluskey, all labor leaders. The conservatives were in control of the resolutions committee and out voted the radicals in the party coun- ell. They could have put through a resolution asking Golfer to withdraw but he stood pat and they came to the conclusion that a resolution of this character would accomplish nothing.
 The platform was finally whipped into shape by Mulford Winsor, of ficial word painter for the party. It does not suit Charles Roberts and the radical Hunt and Golfer men but the candidate for governor was so glad to get by withoNt having the question of his ine'igibility raised that he was willing to accept any kind of platform.
 Although Dave Babbitt the Flag staff merchant was named chairman, Leroy Ladd will be the real director of the Colter campaign. He was in the saddle at the meeting of the state committee and the party council.
 A business session of the executive committee was for the purpose of dis cussing ways and means of raising a campaign fund and the assessment of state office holders It is common gossip that Golfer shot his wad in the primary and now looks to the party to finance his campaign. This may have been the reason for picking Rabbit as chairman as he is rich and in a position to assist materially in this branch of the work
 Rumor has it than an effort will be made to get Judges Cunningham and Ross to take the stump for Colter but it is hardly believed that they will consent. The psychological effort would be splendid in the view or Democratic leaders. in view of the fact that the question of Golfers in has been raised.

Don't forget to redeem your War
Savings pledges. The government
needs the money. State Director
Fries has just received the following
telegram from Secretary Of the Treas
ury McAdoo:
81 most earnestly urge upon you
that your organization make every
possible effort to the end that pledges
for the purchase of War Savings
stamps be fulfilled before the close OF
the year. The Government monetary
requirements were never greater nor
more pressing than they are today
Expenditures for November were
greater than in any similar period.
These expenditures growing out of
the war must be met by borrowing
from the people and their magnifi-
cent response heretofore to the Gov
ernment's requirements makes me con-
fident that they will not fail to con.
tinue their support to the end that all
payments resulting from war necessi.
ties will be promptly met. Much re-
mains to be done. Our brave troops
must be maintained and paid until
their work is fully accomplished and
they are returned to their homes. This
is not time for us to relax our efforts

ing plans for larger and even more
