QUEEN OF NIGHT LIFE KILLED
 BYiLOVER, WHO KILLS SELF

When five shots in quick accession rang out in the vicinity of 160 South Stone last night tragedy of the old days of the border took place. Maria Flores, queen of the night life of Can anea in the old days, woman who came north under the drive of the rev olution, with many thousands of dol lars made in the days when Cananea was wide open camp, lay dying on the floor of her little home, killed by her discarded lover, Jesus Marie Du- pon, who lay dying by her side, his lips white with carbolic acid and a bullet in his heart, declared he had killed her, so far as could be made out, because she would not wash his clothes. At one time Maria Flores, fa- nous as beauty, was the center of a gay company in Cananea. At her death she was broken woman, retain ing sufficient of her beauty to make Dupon jealous and desperate sufficient to kill her and take his own life. He was rushed to the Arizona hospital but the carbolic acid had done it's work together with the bullet in his breast. He had committed the murder with a Al caliber revolver.

CARNIVAL AT CAMP
 VERDE IN SEPTEMBER

Camp Verde's second annual cow boy carnival is to be held at that place September and 6, according to R. k. Mulholland, president of the Verde Valley Fair and Amusement assoc1a- tion, who was in Jerome recently.
 The first cowboy reunion, carnival or what you choose to call it was held last September and is still being talk ed about wherever riatas are twirled. The work of the various contestants was just as fast as has ever been seen at the Frontier Days in Prescott.
 Horse racing, calf tying, bull rop- ing and numerous other events of the range are on the program. Sew eral thousand dollars have been hung up in prizes by the Camp Verde busi- ness men and stock growers.
 President Mulholland is the leader in the preparations that are now go- ing forward. He has che assistance of R. w. Wingfeld, Ralph Monroe, Leslie Clayton, Harvey Hance, Ed N. Cherry, Fred Mickle, Mabry Gardner and numerous other we'll known val ley citizens
 Already the association has received assurances that cowboys from all over northern Arizona will be entered in the various events and there will be several contestants from the southern part of the state. Doc Pardee is com ing over from Prescott to act as an nouncer.-Jerome News.

J. D. DUNN WILL RUN
 FOR ASSESSOR AGAIN

County Assessor J. D. Dunn an- nounces that he will again be a candi- date for the office of county assessor and asks the support of his friends in the primaries for the nomination on the democratic ticket for that office.
 Assessor Dunn has made an envia- ble reputation as one of the assessors of the state who is qualified for. the office and during his past terms of of flee has added many thousands of dol lars to the total valuation of the wealth of the county by his efforts to place all property owners on an equal footing in the payment of taxes.
 While the job of an assessor is much like that of running a newspaper in attempting to please all the people all the time, Mir. Dunn has succeeded in pleasing a majority, which is very good record for that office.
 Mir. Dunn says his platform is the same as it has always been, that of giving his best and most conscientious services to the whole people all the time and to see that each one pays his prorata share toward the upkeep of the county in accordance with the amount of property owned.

GAMBLING WILL BE
 ALLOWED TO REOPEN

There is a very persistent report in Agua Prieta that the Chinese club, the gambling place closed some time ago by General Mange, will be reopened on August 1. The Chinese owners of the place assert they have the necessary permission to start the games on that date, and the city and federal author ities of the town across the line do not deny the rumor.
 General Mange took steps to return to the Chinese s7000 taken when the hall was closed and to give back the paraphernalia, and this will be done soon. The Mexicans arrested at the time of the raid and started on the way to Hermosillo were released at Cananea, and it is said no action against anyone taken in custody at the time is expected.

WHY DON'T WILEY JONES'
 STENOGRAPHER RUN TOO?

As Leslie Hardy, former assistant, is also out for the place, making, with State Attorney General Wiley Jones him self, three candidates, as it were, from the one office for the same position, it looks very much as if now was the time for some good democrat who has never been connected with the attor- ney generals office to come out and give all three trouncing at the pri- mary.
