PIKERS

The Douglas press is yelling itself hoarse now because
of the fact in the recent county seat fight Tombstone beat
Douglas and her real estate option crowd by about 500
votes and under the law framed and passed through the
lobby of the Douglas crowd, the county remains in
Tombstone for the next six But on this point the
tin horn gambling spirit of the Douglas crowd asserts
itself for having been beaten in fair and square
they propose that Bsbee have the law changed that
another vote be taken the matter years from

SOME THINGS TO REMEMBER

During the county removal campaign, it is
well to bear III mind few things concerning the Douglas
removasts and their tactics of mud Singing and deceit
Douglas at time attempted to refte the real estate
option expose connection with the courthouse SITES be-
they knew it the truth and Tombstone had the
dope from two reliable men to whom II was proposed
that they make "sOme easy money they would lend
their support for votes.
Charles Overlook Of Douglas and Judge S. W. Mccall
of ServOss spread the propaganda that Tombstone had
the money behind it, when Douglas the that had
the ssh fund put up by the interests Neither this
denied
The Douglas grafters did deny that the interests
were behind the removal movement i'll which clique
W. E. Schwamm, Liberty Bond Stacker had hand in the
deal They did deny that the records would have
remained i'll rented buildings, had removal carried which
would have cost the taxpayers at least $1,000 per month
for at least two with the records scattered all
town They merely cOntented themselves with using dirty
mud Singing tactics attacking Tombstone the grounds
that the corporations advancing the money fight
removal We venture to add that Douglas is afraid
publish truthful list OF contributors to their
fund along side of TOmbstone's.
The remOvalsts did deny the infamous lie that it
would take 100000 to repair the present courthouse,
the Douglas member of the board j. NJ Sparks
full contractor who has been behind the removal scheme
for years, introduced such and
Ond because the other members thought it absurd that
they refused consider it further People here wonder
what c. NJ. Roberts, supervisOr-eect, would have told
Sparks had he been the board.
Another lie exploded that Douglas claimed it cost
$4,000 to the court last Tombstone when it
shown by the budget for the year that only cost
$4,000 Also they did not deny that when they hired two
show how much it would cost if that jury had been in
Douglas that he figures used because they
revealed the fact that the jury would have the
payers if the court had been located in Douglas

INFLUENZA BAD ON
INDIAN RESERVATION

KINGMAN, Nov $50 terrible has
the influenza become on the San Car
los Indian agency that it is impossible
to build collins in which to bury
them. The Indians are in fear of the
disease, as much SO as of the small
pox, and it is possibly this that has
caused many to do things that brought
oE the disease instead Of avoiding it.
On the Navajo reservation influenza
has caused many deaths. 1t would
seem that mortality is greater from
this disease among the dark races than
among the white, but possibly on ac-
count Of greater precautions being
taken by the whites.

which went strong for Douglas,
