Posse Trails Slayers of Fisher Toward Border

Jesse Fisher, 5S, was killed Wednes- day night by murderers,, at the Slaughter ranch house at San Bernar- dino. He was shot with what is be- lieyed to be high-powered automatic revolver when he went to the room where ranch commissary store was located, adjoining the home ranch house, to investigate noise he had heard while running with Miss Stowe with whom he had been looking after some turkeys near the building
 Hearing a noise, MT. Fisher went to the commissary, and opening the door, called out, asking who was in side. What was said to Fisher by the unidentified men inside of the com misssary was not heard by Miss Stowe but she did hear MT Fisher say All right" as he turned from the com missary store door.
 At that moment there were two shots from the inside of the commis- sary and Fisher fell Miss Stowe fled into the house, no doubt thereby sav- ing her life, as the general belief is that she would have also been shot
 Fisher Dead When Found
 When the officers arrived they at once went to the commissary room where they found the body of Fisher. One bullet hole was found; the bullet entered Fishers body just under the left shoulder and the bullet came out under the right niple and was found in a pool of blood under the dead body. .nother bullet had passed through his abdomen. Miss Stowe was uncertain as to how many shots were fired, but we MeXicans who later appeared at the ranch, and who were employees, said that two shots were fired.
 It seems after Fisher was slain, those who killed him fled and joined others of the bandit gang, who were guarding the ranch hands, who allege that they were caught and tied by the marauders before three of them went to the ranch house.
 According to two Mexicans. who claim that they had been tied and held under guard, they were over come by a body of more than half dozen Mexicans, and that after they were bound with cords. three of their captors went towards the ranch house
 They said that after the shots had been fired at the ranch house the three men returned, and with the two

 "On April 30. when the latest tabu> lations were available,' said Hugh L. Kerwin, chief of the bureau of cancellation tonight there were F strikes before the labor department for settlement. In addition, there were 30 controversies which had not reached the strike stage. The total number of cases now pending is 51, eight of which are new.
 Since April 30, thousands of men have quit work in the marine strike sporadic printing strikes and in the building trades. Reduction of wages form the basis Iof all these disputes. The department has no reliable es inmates of the actual number of mon involved in the new strikes as yet, however"

CITIZENS PROTEST AGAINST REMOVAL OF
 TWO DEPUTY SHERIFFS IN THIS COUNTY

Bearing petitions numerously signed a delegation from Metcalf and Duncan appeared before the Board of Super visors on Monday last, asking that the Board reconsider it's recent action in reducing the deputy sheriff force of the county in those precincts.
 At the meeting of the Board last month the order made vacating the position of deputy sheriff at Metcalf, now filled by Holland Bass, and also at Duncan, by Chas. Brooks, on the ground that such deputies were no longer required. At the same time a deputy at Morenci was also dispensed with.
 The citizens of Metcalf now repre- sent to the Board that in their opin- ion there is need for deputy sheriff in Metcalf as a large number of idle men are in the camp and it is neces- sary for an officer to be Jn duty both day and night.
 The necessity of a deputy sheriff at Duncan was advocated before the Board by citizens of that place on the ground that Duncan is the gateway to the county and it has been demon strated in the past that in the appre- hension of rum runners and other lawbreakers at that point the deputy at Duncan plays an important part.
 At times during. the consideration of the matter the discussion between some of the deputies and members Of the board was somewhat heated. The Board received the petitions and took

ARIZONA TAX ON MIGRATORY FLOCkS UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Phoenix. Arizona, May 4-The state law taxing migratory fiocks of sheep and goats, herds of cattle and bands of horses owned by non-residents of Ari- zona was held invalid in the supreme court today. The decision was rend- cred in the case of James Smith, resident of Utah, appellant, against w. P Mahoney, sheriff of Mohave county.
 Smith was tried and convicted be- fore a justice of the peace in Mohave county of having brought sheep into the state without paying the tax on them He was fined $750 and in default of payment was committed to the custody of the sheriff The appellant procured writ of habeas corpus, but Cn the hearing the court denied the writ and dismissed the petition. It was from that order that the appeal to the supreme court was taken.
 The appellant attacked the license tax as being in violation of the donsti- tions of both the state and nation. The state contended that it was police measure requiring the payment by non-residence of license fee for the privilege of grazing stock in Ari- zona.
 ReNenuG, NOI FOiiCe ACI
 In it's opnion the court said:
 "It is apparent at first blush that the license provided for in this extraordi- nary act is imposed for the purpose or revenue and consequently does not fall within the protection of the police power of the state It cannot be said with any degree of confidence that the nrin,amry object of the act is the pre- of off evil or that it has for it's primary aim the preservation of the public health morals. safety or welfare. It shows on it's face that regulation is not it's Durrtose. but that refenue or undue restriction in the interest of others not embraced in the class designated is the aim in view.
 We say this cautiously and without any intent to reflect upon the motives Of the legislature in adopting the law We are bound to know that the license of 9 cents per head for each sheep or yoat and 50 cents head for each 1 head of cattle or horses grazed or pas | tured within the state of Arizona, eX- l acted of every nonresident person, i firm association, partnership or cor 1 r0ration. is far in excess of the reason 1 able expense of enforcement of any i regulation. Certainly this is the case when such license must be paid to the 1 sheriff of every county in the state where such animals are graZed or pas. tured."
 I. In conclusion the decision states:
 We are clearly of the opinion that the get involved in this case and under which appellant was convicted. is un
 constitutional and void. and the iudg
 mont of the lower court is therefOre
 reversed and the appellant is dis
 charged"
 The opinion was written by Justice
 Baker and was concurred in by Chic . Justice Ross and Justice McAliSter.

men who had been guarding them, left going towards the border.
 The two men, whose hands were bound with cords went to the house of another Mexican employe, who united them. They say the reason that they did not go to the ranch house was that they feared others of the band of assailants were still in that vicinity.

 The three ranch employees were brought to Douglas Thursday morning and are being held pending further investigation. The officers made as complete a search of the premises as far as was possible during the night but no one was encountered except the ranch employees. Several horses were found to be missing from the ranch Later one ,of them was found and showed evidence of having fallen It is believed that the rider was thrown, and abandoned the animal. perhaps for another
 intenton to Rob Ranch
 The theory of Dr. Greene and Mrs Slaughter, who arrived on the scene to console Mrs. Fisher. is that the slayers tof Fisher were part of band who had deliberately planned to make a clean sack of the Slaughter ranch. taking everything in sight and killing all who attempted to prevent their purpose. Mrs. Slaughter feels sure that some of the former ranch employ es are implicated in the foul plot which ended only in the death of Jes- SC Fisher. who was her cousin.
