The Chief task or the convention,
the statement said, twas to prevent the
sale of presidential nominations at auc-
ton to the highest bidder. Had this not
been done the party faced not only GER
tain defeat, but crushing dishonor. The
6S New York delegates who voted for
men on the first ballot were the chief
factor in stopping the Hindenburg
drive to overwhelm the convention by
the power of unlimited money and by
strongarm methods in preferential prl-
marieS."
How 1t Happened.
The statement points out that the
first ballot gave General Wood sub
stantial lead G-and that 'the first task,
therefore was to bring the vote of his
nearest rival, Governor LOwden, at least
up to Woods vote"
Pennsylvania. Massachusetts. Mich
iyan and Ohio, could not help Lowden, it
added, because the release of delegates
In those state probably would have Civ

1T was clearly necessary, therefore"
the statement continues, "for New York
to become the Belgium of the war and
] cheerfully gave my approval of the
plan to turn New York's vote to Low
den in increasing volume on the second,
third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh
ballots.
1T was this New York vote for Low
den taken from the 6S votes that had
been cast for me that gave Lowden his
lead in the fifth ballot and that enabled
him substantially to equal the Wood
vote on the ballot Immediately follow

Helped Harding Drift.
"When, after the seventh ballot, it
was clear that Lowden could not be
nominated, we helped the drift toward
Harding, and on the ninth ballot be-
came the decisive psychological factor
by giving Harding GO votes.
Harding and Coolidge" the state
ment closes, 'are first of all patriotic
Americans, and next. Republicans to
the core. We are to have the satisfac-
tion of supporting and clecting a real
Republican ticket. We may now look
forward with complete confidence to the
restoration of the national government

and reverence for the constitution of
the United States"

HUNTING SCALPS ON
 RESERVATION DANGEROUS

Prospecting the Navajo reserva. tion for minerals is permissible, but combing the country for wild animals is different situation, said Luther Morton and Empor Laner, in Prescott last Sunday, fresh from the Indian country. They are professional hunt CTS and trappers and went in last month, like a zephyr, but got out like a cyclone, they stated. Said Laner in broken English. "We wanted game scalps, but nearly lost our own in stead, and we haven't lost any mines or big Navajos, either." Their back track work to outside the dead line of the reserve was somewhat fleet of foot, and they had an escort of red men along also Both are headed for the Bradshaws to hunt small game, the wildcat and fox being preferred. They have an outfit of five dogs and four mules, with other apparatus aboard. They give the following market quotations for pelts: Grey fox, $7.50; raccoon, $7; northern lynx, ST; wildcat, $3; coyote, first-class, SIS; black fox, $750; skunk, $5; young lion, $250, and so on. The price for all pelts is now the highest ever known and the demand at present is the greatest.

JUDGE GIBBONS GIVES
 DECISION ABOUT ESTATE

After having under advisement since September 25, the distribution of the estate of Curt Conemeyer, Judge Andrew s. Gibbons, of the Apache county superior court, has rendered his decision, according to word re- ceived by Assistant United States At torney J. H. Langston.
 The decision holds that two part Indian children of Cronemeyer, whose heirship was defended by Assistant Attorneys Langston and Holub, should receive $5,000 each, the message said. The children were claimed to have been born on Apache reservation, where their father and mother had a trading post. The children's claim tc the estate was contested by Sophie and Emily Cronemeyer and Hermine Meyerling, residents of Germany, claiming to be sisters of the trader. The sisters were held by the court to be heirs to the remainder of the estate said to have total value of about $4O,OOO. The case had been in the courts three years.

I. w. w. TRIAL SUR-
 ROUNDED BY DIM HAZE

Just when the now famous Bisbee deportation cases will come up for trial before the superior court of this county is matter of speculation among both attorneys and the general public, not to speak of the court. Judge A. c. Lockwood, before whom the trials will be held, said he was as much in the dark as anyone.
 Judge Lockwood said he had in- formed the attorneys on both sides that he was ready to set the cases at any time, but that up to the present no settings had been requested.
 George M. Roark, assistant county attorney, said that it was probable the cases would be set for about the first of February, as it was probable the county attorneys office would be able to clean up other business which would interfere with giving entire at- tention to the deportation cases in time to take up the deportation matter by that date. However, he qualified, he had not discussed the matter fully with R. N. French, county attorney, recently.

 TO SAN PEDRO DIVISION

R. H. Futile, superintendent of the local division of the Santa Fe railroad has received word that effective at once he has. been promoted to the superintendency of the San Bernardo no division, and will leave to take up his new duties.
 We are glad to hear of Mir. Tuttle's promotion, but are loathe to lose him from our town. During the seven years which Mir. Futile has been with us he has made hosts of friends not only here but over the entire division in which he has had charge. He has managed the affairs of the company in the most efficient manner, and has been one of our most public spirited and valuable citizens, always willing and ready to get behind and give his assistance to any propect or improve ment which tends to benefit the town. He has been very active in lodge and society circles, active member of the Chamber of Commerce and is presi- dent of the Arizona State bank. While Mrs. Futile, his charming wife, has been one of our society leaders and is noted for the very smart social affairs over which she presides, and is our most tireless worker in charitable af- fairs and will be greatly missed by her numerous friends.
 Mir. Futile will be succeeded by R. M. Mathie, of Needles, California, who comes to us with the very highest of recommendations. Mir. Mathie will arrive today to take active charge of his new duties.-Winslow Mail.

UNITED VERDE WOULD
 ABANDON RAILROAD

The Verde and Pacific Railroad company has applied to the state cor poration commission for permission to abandon the road between Jerome and Jerome Junction. The road has been operated at considerable loss for months past and now that the road from Clarkdale to Jerome is practically completed, the narrow gauge has about outlived its useful ness. The steam shovel operations at the United Verde have advanced to a point that would compel the removal of the freight depot to the Wye sta ton if the operation of the narrow gauge were continued and all freight hereafter will reach Jerome over the standard gauge line from Clarkdale. The passing of the old road to the Junction, while marking great step in the advancement of the district, will be regretted by many who have enjoyed the scenic delight of the trip. It is understood that the rails will be taken up and the property entirely dismantled.

DOG STOOD GUARD
 OVER MASTERS BODY

How shepherd dog stood guard over her masters body for two days and three nights to protect it from has been revealed by Humane Officer J. w. Canning, of Phoenix.
 Ermos F. Williams, son of J. H. Williams, of Phoenix, died July 15, last, while herding goats and sheep in the mountains about 56 miles north of here. He fell over as though from heart disease, his father heard after wards.
 A Mexican herder called "Lady," the shepherd dog, to the body and said: "Stay with him." The Mexican walked toward Phoenix until he met an American, who telephoned news of the death to the youths father.
 J. H. Williams started from Phoe- nix at once. Because of hard rains and washouts, he had difficulty in getting into the mountain fastnesses where the focks pastured. Finally he reached the spot where the body lay, the dog still on guard. She growled viciously as he approached, he said, but as soon as she saw he meant no harm, she licked his hand. She was worn by her long vigil, half starved and gaunt with thirst, but when he tried to drag her to place to drink, she resisted fiercely and ran back to the boys body. There she stayed until neighbors had been sum- moned from miles away to take the body to Phoenix. Then she consented to be turned over to the head shep- herd of the Williams flock, who had instructions to see that she receives always the best of care.
