 We wait and believe that the mill lions will be properly accounted for without working Governor Cox and the democratic campaign committee.
 But what a startling scoop Editor Cox would have made had the un- explained money been found in the hands of the republicans! What dire designs, maybe, to buy the presidency and the near fifteen millions of dem- ocratic men and women voters for about 30 cents (Mex.) each!-Albu- querque Journal.

HE WON'T BOOST FAIR
 TO UNFAIR PEOPLE

Arizona state fair program will not be complete this year unless the man. agement can promise that those who attend will not be robbed by excessive hotel rates, room rent and restaurant prices. Last year the city of Phoe- nix was disgraced by both restaurants and room rent hogs. Is there any assurance that our visitors will be treated fairly this year? Unless such assurance is given this newspaper will not boost to bring the people of the state here, to have them held up by lodging house and restaurant swine. Phoenix Messenger.

ness, Graham would drop a bullet through the frying pan or coffee pot. This intimation out of the night was usually effective in inducing the herd- CT to forget his appetite and move his band early the next morning.
 Several old residents of the Pleas ant Valley section later collaborated on the subject, and decided that 29 men had beeen killed in the war and that 22 graves of the Graham faction could still be found in the vicinity of the Stinson ranch. Only four of the Tewksburys died, but the most awful feature of all was the manner of the death of two of them. John Tewks- bury and one Jacobs had brought in bands of sheep on shares. Both were ambushed near the formers home and killed. Their bodies, in sight of the house, were left to be devoured by hogs, while members of the Tewks- bury family were kept away by show CTS of bullets from hillside, on which the Grahams are reported to have watched. Finally Deputy Sher- if John Meadows entered the valley, to bury what was left, defiant of the wrath of the Grahams. The Tewksburys were half-bloods, their mother California Indian, and it is probable that their actions thereafter were based upon the Indian code of revenge.
 Few were left of the Blevins fam. fly of the Graham faction. The men shot at Holbrook by Sheriff Owens were active Grahamites. The elder Blevins was killed in the hills near the Houdon ranch and a skeleton found in later years is said to have been him. A party of a dozen Tewks- burys killed Al Rose at the Houdon ranch as he was leaving the house early in the morning. The favorite mode of assassination was from am- bush on the side of trail. One of the last episodes was the hanging of three of the Graham faction-Scott, Stott and Wilson--on the rim of the Mogollons by a large party of the Tewksburys. The three had been charged with wounding one of the Tewksbury faction.
 Many of the participants on both sides were killed and wounded, and the Tewksburys came out victorious. One of the fleeing Grahams was Charlie Duchet, a fighter from the plains. He had celebrity from an af- fray in which he an an enemy were provided with Bowie knives and were locked together in a dark room. Duchet emerged, leaving his enemy dead, but he was permanently crip- vtal h,, ,a,.;onv ,io cbaS op tho uy,-; sf e and arms.
 The end of the war was the killing of Tom Graham. His clan, about all gone, in 1892 he fled from Tonto Basin and established himself and the young wife on a farm near Tempe. He was shot from ambush opposite Double Butte school house while he was on his way to market with his first harvest. The deed was witness ed by two young women, named Gregg and Cummings; who positively identified Ed Tewksbury as one of the murderers. A strong alibi was produced for Tewksbury in Pleasant Valley, but he was later convicted, but on change of venue the trial ended in hung jury and the case was dismissed.
 Tewksbury finally died in Globe, in 1904, where, for awhile, he had served as peace officer.
 The assassination of a lad named Yost in Reno Pass ended what has been called one of the bloodies wars of the west, and one which had no result save cruelty and bloodshed.

School Election To Be Teld Tomors
row; Board Of Education Asks
Six Additional Mills to
Meet Expenses.
BUDGET CALLS FOR BIG
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS
Two Voting Places; City Hall and
shanoan Springs; Polls Open
from 6 a. m. to p. nj; All
Urged to Cast Ballots.

Tomorrow Chickasha voters will
so to the polls to cast their ballots
on the proposition of allowing an
additional levy of six mills for the
purpose of operating the schools of
Chickasha next year in keeping with
a program of Advancement, inelud-
ing improvements on buildings as
well as increases in salaries Of teach
ers.
The board of education today
made the following statement with
reference to the election.
Under the laws of this state. q
levy OF over five mills cannot be
made by the board of education
without the additional amount to be
levied being passed upon favorably
by the voters OF this school district.
1t has, therefore, been necessary
every year for the board of educa-
tion to submit to the voters at
special election held for that purpose
the question Of an additional levy
for the purpose Of running the schools
of this city for nine months Pc
riod. The voters have always re-
sponded favorably, because the whole
community is in favor of nine
months school. Last year 1t was
necessary to make an additional la-
Wy OF four mills, thereby making
total levy OF nine mills
This year, owing to the high cost
OF labor and material, and the right
full demand of all that there be a
substantial increase in teachers' sala-
res for next year, it has become
necessary to increase the levy six
mills this year, making total levy
of eleven mills. This small amount
of increase in the levy will enable
the board to give substantial in
crease to the salaries OF the teach
ers, which Is right and Just, and it
win enable us TO keep our teaching
force intact, and keep up the high
standard OF our schools at a very
small increase over the levy of last
year
I'VE also wish to call attention to
the fact that it is absolutely neces-
sary to furnish certain equipment
to the different school buildings this
year, and the prices have increased
the same as they have in other lines.
1t has also become necessary TO
place sidewalks at the various build
ings and to do certain grading at
each of the schools, and we ask a
careful reading of the budget which
has been published. II will be seen
that no money is asked that is not
absolutely needed in order that the
schools may run for full period of
nine months, and keep up with the
advancement OF the leading sehols
Of this state.
"We trust that each citizen inter-
ested in our schools both men and
women, will take the time to go to
the polls and cast his or her vote
for the additional levy tomorrow.
There is only one voting place
IN the city, and that Is at the city
hall. The voting place outside of
the city is shannon Springs. The
polls will be open from six o'clock
m. until seven o'clock p. m"
