|V|CHAN MARTINS LIFE HANGS ON TWO
 SLENDER THREADS

The life of Nichan Martin. sen- fenced to be hanged at Florence to- morrow for the murder of Arthur De Steunder in the eastern part of Yavapai county nearly two years ago. hangs on only two threads, how strong or how slender, is yet to be determined. It was thought that since Judge MeAllister of the su- preme court had stated that he was powerless to act upon a petition for a stay of execution in the absence from the state of Judge Ross, the only other living member of the su- preme court, that only a reprieve by Governor Campbell would permit Martin to live until his application to the supreme court of the United States for writ of rieview could be passed upon when the court convenes on Oct. 3.
 But his attorney. Stephen H. Abbey of Florence, who was in the city yesterday, stated that before applica- tion is made to Governor Campbell the last remedy in the courts would be sought today.
 Attorney Benton Dick will appear before Judge Sawtelle of the United States court to institute proceedings which may lead to a stay of execu- tion. Of course, application will not be made for a stay. It Is thought that a petition for writ of habeas corpus will be made, and in the event of its denial, the court will be asked to allow an appeal from fsuch an order; that would carry with it a stay.
 The attorneys for Martin are aware of the policy of on-interference with with the state courts that Judge Sawtelle from the beginning has maintained, but they think that the circumstances are such that he can depart from the policy without ap- bearing to slight the state courts.
 These circumstances are that the supreme court of the state Is power less either to grant or denysthe appli- cation for a stay of execution, with only one member of the court in the state. Beside, it is pointed out a justice of the supreme court of the United States has ordered the appli- cation for a writ of certiorari filed in that court. and that he had sug- gested that application be made to the state supreme court for stay inasmuch as in the absence from Washington of all the members but one, it was impossible for the order to be made there.

6 per cent to the persons other than the plaintiff.
 This is the latest development in the controversy of the last three weeks between the loan commission and the Bankers Trust company. E; Fl. Rollins and Sons and the Harris Savings and Trust company of Chi cago, the last two having assigned their interest in the matter to the plaintiff.
 The complaint is based on a con- tract entered into last spring be- tween these three firms of brokers and the loan commission following the enactment of a law by the legis- lature for the issuance of tax an- ticipation bonds each year for two years. not in excess each year of sO per cent of the taxes for that year as determined by the board of equaliza- tion.
 Option on Other Issues
 Under this contract the plaintiff and it's associates took over bonds to the amount of s1.500,00s at 61z per cent interest, paying for them par and accrued interest. There was in the contract a clause giving to the purchasers an option on the same terms on subsequent bond issues, at the same price paid for the first issues.
 It is stated in the complaint that on Aug. r the commission, by reso- lution, ordered another bond issue of S1,500.000 on those terms, thus rec ognizing the contract. But on Aug. 30, it is stated, the commission &C., cepted an opinion from the office

FRANK GEORGE |S
 PLACED IN PRISON
 TOSERVE LIFE TERM

Well. George. this will be your permanent home"
 "Yes, and I'm satisfied"
 You didn't expect this. did you,
 NO, I didn't"
 This conversation took place yes terday afternoon just outside the state penitentiary at Florence. The parties to it were Charles w. Sauer. deputy sheriff from Jerome, and Frank George, convicted murderer Of Undersheriff Ed Bowers of Yavapai county at Prescott. who was being brought to the prison by Sauer and Joe Furst. present undersheriff of Yavapai county.
 Within a few minutes George had entered the penitentiary. his photo graph had been taken. his hair clipped and a number given to him preliminary to his beginning a. life sentence as the penalty for having shot and killed Bowers on July 1. when the later entered Georges home to quell disturbance there.
 According to Sauer, George was very fearful of the verdict to be ren- dered against him during his trial, and the conversation yesterday was an indication that he considered him. self exceedingly fortunate in becom- ing ''lifer' instead of an occupant of the death cell.
 Despite continued rumors in Pres colt that attempts would be made to take George from the authorities and hang him, no overt act was com mitted there. according to Sauer. Feeling against the convicted mur- derer, however. was high, and no chances were taken with him. Sauer and Ef1rSt left Prescott with their prisoner by automobile at 8; 15 o'clock yesterday morning and ar rived in Phoenix in time for break fast Florence was reached in the afternoon. and the two officers were back in Phoenix at 6 o'clock last eve

or the attorney general that the conn mission was not bound by the terms or that contract. That opinion held the option feature of the contract to De invalid since it contravened a paragraph of the law authorizing the bond issue which provided that each issue should be treated separately the terms of the sale to be fixed by resolution of the board. Therefore, in the opinion of the attorney gen. eral, the commission could not bind itself, previous to any one issue of the bonds, to a course of conduct with respect to any subsequent issue.
 An order to show cause was issued by Judge Joseph S. Jenckes of the superior court No. and made re- turnable today, the complaint having alleged that the advertisement of the loan commission had stated that bids for the bonds ordered issued by the resolution would be received on Sept. 10, the day following

 SOLD AT 3O CENTS

One hundred fales of No. 2 Pima cotton were sold yesterday in Phoenix at 80 cents pound. The sale was made by the Western States Securi- ties company. representing several growers. The cotton was purchased by NJ. F., Smith of Calder and Rich mond.

THANKSGIVING DAY FOOTBALL


The final game of the foot ball sea-
son in Winslow will be played in
Winslow ON Thursday afternoon,
November oath. This Isl Thanksgiv-
ing Day and a holiday and it is hop
ed that good crowd will be out to
see the game.
The team from the Flagstaff Nor
NAL school will be here and an ex-
citing game is certain to result
Winslow beat this team earlier in
the season by a score of II to 0
for the second time in ten years
and they are prepared to wipe out
the insult. Their team has been
much strengthened and improved
and the Winslow boys will have to
show something to win again.
Elsewhere in The Mail is writeup
of the game with Prescott which
Winslow won by a score CT q to IA
and by which they won the cham
pionship of Northern Arizona. This
team has gone through the entire
season without a defeat and it is
certainly safe to say that it is one
of the best school teams in Arizona.
Come out and see them play their
last game. The game will be called
at 3 . m. and an admission of so
cents will be charged
Friday of this week the team
goes to Gallup and it is expected
that they will add another scalp to
their lengthening string. Captain
Creswell will accompany the team
to lend encouragement although his
broken shoulder will not permit him
to be in the game.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
(Verla Oare)

The foot ball team will go to Gal
lup Friday to play a return game
We hope that our team will be as
victorious in this game as they have
been in the preceding ones.
The student body of the High
School had the privilege of hearing
Mr.. Davis of the State Educational
Board and DR.. Matthews, president
of the Tempe Normal school speak
Wednesday morning The talks were
very interesting and we are sure
much good was received from them,
The dance which the Seniors gave
for the students and faculty Friday
evening was a decided success. Nov
ell and clever costumes were worn
by almost every one. Anna Leonard,
who was dressed to represent col
Onial dame, received the prize given
to the girls for the most original
and clever costume. Bertram Spell
who was dressed to represent col
colored gentlemen" received the
boys prize.
Last Friday morning the Junior
High school students and the High
school students met together at the
high school for the purpose of cele-
brating Armistice Day. Papers were
read by a member of each class;
Velma Inscore represented the Jun
Tor High school: Joe ' Rohrer, the
Freshman class: Mary Babcock, the
Sophomore class; Katherine Bauer,
the Junior class; and Byron Shields,
the Senior class. These papers con-
cerned Armistice Day. Mr.. Kerr and
Mr. Snyder gave interesting talks
about their experiences overseas,
The band also played several selec-
tions. After the program the stud
ents of the High school formed into
line and paraded through town. A
circle was formed untown and sew
eral wells were given. The purpose
of the parade was to boost the foot
ball game that afternoon.
This is the last week of the sec
ond six weeks. The report cards
will be given cut the week following
Thanksgiving vacation. 1t is hoped
that the students have worked more
earnestly this six weeks than they
did last.
Our foot ball eleven" won the
Northern Arizona championship in
foot ball last Friday afternoon when
'hey defeated Prescott 27 to IA. This
was a very fast game and it afforded
many thrills for the people.
