 occupied by Treasurer Harry s. Ross and his assistants. A change will | be made here. Mir Ross the present county treasurer will leave for Phoe- nix. 10 assume his duties as state ltreasurer, having been elected to that position at the recent election. It is understood that he will take some of the help that he now has in the office with him to that city. His for mer deputy, Vaughn Wood, is now in Phoenix, acting as secretary of the
 state tax commission. The position of county treasurer will be filled for
 the next two years by Guy c. Welch.
 who is present sheriff of the county.
 He has been filling that position since
 the resignation of Sheriff Wheeler,
 when the latter went to France. He
 had been filling the position as under
 sheriff or chief deputy since MT.
 Wheeler was elected, seven years ago.
 MT. Welch has not made any an
 nouncement as to who will be his as-
 sistant in that office.
 The supervisors come next. Two
 members have been elected, l. c. E.
 Adams of Lowell, who will hold of flee for four years, being the hold over by reason of the fact that he received the highest vote at the re- cert election and Chas M Roberts of
 Wilcox whom, it is understood, will make his home in Tombstone. The other member of the board will be J. M. Sparks of Douglas, who is the holdover.- The retiring members are | Vance M Johnson of this city and | John Rock, of Tombstone. When the | board is organized it will elect a chair man from it's members. This dis posed of. the matter of the selection | of a clerk will be made. So far there have been two names mentioned for the position, Oscar Doyle, of Lowell. and Charles Mahan of this city Oscar Doyle was at one time acting deputy | clerk of the board and has some eX- perience with the work. He is a dis tant relative of I. c. E. Adams, while Charles Mahan is a son-in-law of MT. Adams. A peculiar circumstance comes with this situation. While Mir Doyle was acting as assistant clerk, as he was a member of the state legislature. The law provides that no of the legislature shall hold an elective or appointive office in the state while he is a member of that body This question was raised by State Senator Roberts. now supervisor elect and as a consequence Doyle was compelled to resign as was William Graham, who was acting as a dep uty sheriff at Lowell under Sheriff Wheeler and John Merrill, who was acting as a court baliff. Roberts will now have a chance to place Doyle back in the office A. c. Karger will be the retiring clerk, and he has ihe reputation throughout the state of being the most efficient clerk of any of the boards of supervisors. He has hosts of friends throughout the who will miss him from the office of the board. Mir. Karger stated yesterday that he had mode no defi- mite plans for the future, but expected to continue to make Cochise county his home His able assistant, E. C. Porter, will engage in some sort Of business in the county.
 At the end of the hall comes the recorders office, there will be no change here, as MT. Krebs was re- elected to fill the same office, and will no doubt keep his same force of deputies. His record in the office is one of courtesy and ef-
