During the first part of the month of July Pedro Dominguez and Antonio Menchera were employed as muckers at the Clay mine at Morenci. On the morning in question Dominguez ar | rived at the mine first and seated nm self to await the arrival of his victim. 1 Beneath his coat was concealed the | deadly weapon As Menchera ap- preached Dominguez walked up to him, and without warning, shot him through | the neck, death being almost 1nstan- | taneouS.

AL RUFF IN RACE FOR
 SHERIFF NOMINATION

The list of candidates for nom;na- tions for county offices following the expiration of the day for filing peti- tions did not contain the name of Al Ruff, one of the candidates for the Democratic nomination for sheriff. MT. Ruff was one of the first to file his nomination papers.
 It is said that some of the other candidates for the nomination have made use of this inadvertent omission of his name as the basis of a report that he had withdrawn from the race He has been a resident of the valley practically all his life and is one of it's best-known citizens.

Alfred M. Barrett, acting commissioner,
was asked to serve as mediator.
Striking employees and representa-

Both sides informed Mr.. Barrett they
were willing to come to reasonable

complaints that taxi drivers were carg-
ing 81 to So, and in some instances $40,
to carry trunk. Under their hacking
licenses the only charge permitted Tor
carrying an article of baggage is 20
cents.
Nh. Barrett, after hearing both
sides. said:
"Thc companies have shown us quite
clearly the reason they are not oper-
ating is that the men have gone out on
strike for increased wages that would
amount to S350000. A lockout was
charged by members of the union.
Both companies said their financial
condition was such that they were un-
able to pay the wage demands. The
Wcstcott Company lost $1,000 during
the last year and did not pay any divi-
dcnds. The New York Transportation
Company showed deficit of $4,000 af-

which amounted to $4,000. Before pay

he characterized as lis annual report
"a the Federation, he went over the
work of the last Legislature and gave
An idea ofwhat he hoped TO accomplish

Among the problems which he be-
ueyed would need special attention he
peintcd 70 the bad conditions ia the
STATE hospitals, the lack o. medical Ia

,hroachou; The state. the present IN
satisfactory state prison system and
the critical housing situation. With
regard to the last question he declared
that while the special session will un-
doubtedly adopt some remedial meas
ures. the real solution lay in the worker
ana investor meeting on some common
ground to insure the speedy erection
Of more homes.
Housing Report To-day
Following the Governors address q
committee OF nine was appointed to go
over the entire housing problem and
outline plans, to be submitted to the
snecial session of .ac Legislature on
September 90 A report on these plans
will be presented to the convention to-
morrow.

nhasized to-day with a eulogy of Gov

The day was also marked by the in.
PRODUCTION OF resolutions demanding
that the charter of the Rockefeller
Foundation be revoked, that the Irish

for the damages to his car showed
very little respect for the committee

men gave their time and money to-
wards getting up an affair Of this
kind, il would seem that the gentle
man in question was out Of order for
compensation whatever. Any driver
of a car who goes headlong into a
ditch or ropes should be classed as a
reckless driver and his license revok-
ed. We have east, west, north and
south around US. 1t is the drivers
duty Ito himself and to others) to
keep an eye straight ahead at all
times, no matter what direction. Had
it been the writer's car that was
smashed, we would have went home
at all speed and put the car away and
said nothing. But Of course Il was
all to be regretted and We are glad
the gentlemen is with us yet. Let us
hope that others will be more careful
and look ahead.
