ures rushed at him. He threw up aI arm to ward off the club aimed at his head, but succeeded only in breaking the force of the blow. AS he staggered back stunned, a bullet glanced along his forehead and ridged a furrow | through the thick hair. A second stroke of the club jared him to the | heels.
 Though his mind was not clear, his body answered automatically the in stinct that told him to close with his assailants. He lurched forward and gripped one, wrestling with him for the revolver. Vaguely he knew by the sharp, jagged shoots of pain that the second man was beating his head with club. The warm blood dripped through his hair and blinded his eyes. Dazed and shaken, he yet managed to get the revolver from the man who had it. But it was his last effort. He was too far gone to use 1t. A blow on the forehead brought him unconscious to the ground bleeding from a dozen wounds.
 On his way back to Seven Mile Creek camp Gordon Elliot rode down to the ford. In the dusk he was almost upon them before the robbers heard him. For moment the two men stood gag ing at him and he at the tragedy be- fore him. One of the men moved toward his horse.
 "Stop there !" ordered Gordon sharp ly, and reached for his revolver.
 The man-it was the miner North rup-jumped for Elliot and the field agent fired. Another moment and he was being dragged from the saddle. What happened next was never clear to him. He knew that both of the bandits closed in on him and that he was fighting desperately against odds. The revolver had been knocked from his hand and he fought with bare fists just as they did.
 They quartered over the ground, for Gordon would not let either of them get behind him. They were larger than he, heavy, muscle-bound giants of great strength, but he was far more active on his feet. He jabbed and sidestepped and rctreated. More than once their heavy blows crashed on his face. His eyes dared not wander from them for an instant, but he was working toward a definite plan. As he moved his feet were searching for the automatic he had dropped.
 One of his feet, dragging over the ground, came into contact with the steel. With swift side kick Gordon flung the weapon dozen feet to the left. Presently, watching his chance, he made dive for 1t.
 Trelawney, followed by Northrup, turned and ran. One of them caught Macdonald's horse by the bridle. He swung to the saddle and the other man clambered on behind. There was a chatter of hoofs and they were gone.
 Elliot stopped over the battered body that lay huddled at the edge of the water. So badly had the face been beaten and hammered that 1t was not until he had washed the blood from the wounds that Gordon recognized Macdonald.
 Opening the coat of the insensible man, Gordon put his hand against the heart. He could not be sure whether he felt it beating or whether the throb- ping came from the pulses in his finger tips AS well as he could he bound up the wounds with handkerchiefs and

 The horse splashed through the ford and took the little rise beyond with a rush. Just before reaching the brow of the hill, the animal stumbled and fell. As its rider went headlong, he caught glimpse of cord drawn taut across the path.
 Macdonald. shaken by the fall, began slowly to rise. From the shadows of the bilberry bushes two stopping fig,

TWO POUNDS FIXED
 AS LIMIT ON CANDY

A special order limiting the sales of candy to individual consumers to two pounds at a time has been promulgat- de by the federal food administrator for Arizona Heretofore there has been no limit to the amount of candy which might be purchased at a time.
 This order, it was explained, is in line with the action taken in several other states in the interest of sugar conservation. Illinois has limited candy purchases to one pound and California to two pounds for any one purchase.
 The action is taken by the food of- ficials to keep Arizona from exceed ing it's allotment of sugar for the month of November With the recent increase in the sugar ration for house hold purposes from two pounds to three pounds, no material hardship will be worked on the public, it is pointed out.
 A circular letter has been sent to all drug stores and confectiOners ask ing their full cooperation in observ- ance of the new order to soldiers, sail ors and Red Cross nurses. who are ex- cepted.

CAMPBELL RESPONDS TO CONGRATULATIONS
 OF TAMMANY LEADER
GoVERNoR-ELEcT SENDS MES SAGE IN REPLY TO ONE SENT HIM BY JOHN TWoMEY, THANK ING HIM FOR SPIRIT OF PATRi- OTTO AMERIcANIsM

Locally, the hopes of the demo- cratic leaders have expired for putting over the election of Senator Fred Col ter as governor of Arizona. This was evident yesterday when John Twomey, recognized as leader in the fight for Golfers election and since the voting a constant booster for the belief that he had received the majority or the ballots, sent a telegram of congraidla- tiou to Thomas E. Campbell, governor elect.
 The reply, received last night, said:

 Brewery Gulch, Bisbee. Arizona. Knowing the jealous labor and loyal support your forces gave Senator Col ter. your congratulatory telegram with its splendid spirit of American ideals, touched me deeply and was sin- cerely appreciated. Your good wishes for a successful administration can be attained if you all labor to that end as honestly as intend to do. Ex- tend my compliments to the good losers.

CONDITION OF
 THE QUARANTINE
 STILL UNSETTLED
No Official Notice of the Sew en Points Required by State Health Officer; Williams in Arms

The quarantine situation in the Warren district is still in the same condition as it was on Tuesday night. Neither County Health Officer Hunt or acting City Health Officer Bryan have received any further advices from Phoenix since the telegram was received from Dr. Brown at Phoenix and published in The Review yester- day morning The local health off cers feel that one of the seven points that Dr. Brown maintains should be enforced. that Of washing the cell ings. walls and furniture of the churches. schools and moving picture houses. is impracticable. In some in- stances in the city 1t would mean the running of decorations, varnish, paint ings, etc.
 There is considerable comment be- ing made in all parts of the state about the continued strict enforce ment of the quarantine and the addi- tional restrictions that were laid down by Dr. Brown after the meeting held in Phoenix There were a number of new cases reported yesterday, but not as many in proportion as has been in the past There are some who have recently taken the disease who are in q dangerous condition.
 Williams. one of the first towns in the state to be visited with the dis ease and placed under quarantine is up in arms against the continued en- forcement of the quarantine. This may be seen by the following story that was printed Tuesday by the Phoenix Gazette:
 The town of Williams. through its town marshal, Bobby Burns, has served notice upon the state that it will regard a continued enforcement of the anti-influenza quarantine as an overt act against that village and forthwith will launch upon a war to the hilt against the state board Of | health.
 Telegrams to that effect were sent by the town marshal to Acting Gov ernor Sidney P Osborn, Attorney General Wiley E. Jones and to the Gazette. The town authorities at Williams made their move on the l STOuuu ludl dll udiiSCA Dl luA NhCA Aof | ages of the influenza epidemic has passed in Williams.
 A hurried war council' was held by acting Governor Osborn, Attorney | General Jones and State Health Off | cer Dr. O. H. Brown As result of exchanges of opinion among these officials it looks as- though Williams ] invitation to combat will be accepted. The town, through it's marshal, has | expressed it's, intention of opening hostilities in court. It's war aims are stated in a telegram as justice to the town of Williams On the other side the war aims are justice to the disinterested people of Williams and justice to the rest of the state.

 Dr. Brown. state health officer, who has the responsibility of enforcing the rules and regulations of the state board of health. made the following comment upon the situation that has developed in Williams:

there was an alarming increase in the number of influenza cases.
 Tn the face of the circumstances the state board of health is going to sit tight on it's order to Williams to maintain the quarantine. This town is not suffering any greater hardship than other towns in the state where the quarantine is in effect, and we can see no reason why exceptions to the quarantine should be made

THESE ARE BAD MANNERS

The Dispatch has resolved never
o have a weird to say about public
lbuse Of privileges and violations of
confidence bestowed, no matter what
)ccurs,-so long as it is a local af-
fair. Our reason is a good one. We
want to be permitted to pursue our
'egular course Of the days duties I'M
molested, and when some sinner has
oeen "jacked up" for his short comings
takes too much time to stop the
oack talk. But here is reason for an
exception.
The management of The local lyceum
,Gaciously permitted the school boys
3nd girls to attends the programs
free,-that is usually a custom, but
t isn't a custom for grown boys and
iris to sit in the rear and ruin an
,yening for others near them by talk,
ng and giggklg and twittering.
Last might some very rude boys and
iris 1--WE are sorry that we have to
ny it, sat in the rear of the school
uditorium and ruined the evening
bsolutely for those who had seats
ear them. The elderly persons paid
or their seats and had a right to en-
oy the evening, but they could not.
Boys aNd girls with the slightest
it of culture and rehnment would
OF dare venture such an evening in
UGH a place. Those who talked and
lughed paid nothing for their places.
ut they spent their time spelling the
'rogram for those who did pay.
This is not fair treatment TO the ly-
cum management nor to the patrons
yho pay their way.
The Dispatch hopes such boys and
Urls are few. 1t hopes they will be
ever at the next attraction, and on
i'll interference stops before anybody
las to say a word further about it,
Cheap people break into a program
ike that rendered last night and do
lot even know they are cheap.
