NEWS OF INTEREST GATHERED
 HERE AND THERE IN THE STATE
AUDITOR FAIRFIELD MAY
 BE BANK COMMISSIONER

Who will be named state superin- tendent of banks under the new bank ing code at a salary of S5,000 per year? This question is arousing con- siderable speculation in capital and banking circles, especially in view of a new development in the situation.
 Charles w. Fairfield, state auditor and bank superintendent, was the author of the banking ode passed by the special session, and it was taken as a matter of course that he would be named to the newly created posi- tion. It has been learned, however, that Fairfield is now considering one or more outside offers which are said to be much more attractive, and it would not come as surprise were he to resign from his present official duties.
 In the event that Fairfield goes in as the head of the new department, he would hold office until January 15, at which time the then governor, un- der the terms of the code, would ap- point someone to hold office for a term of four years. The new code becomes operative July 1, 1923, at which time the first appointment will be made.
 If this is accepted by Fairfield, it would leave the office of state auditor to be filled. It is generally believed that J. c. Darcey, deputy auditor, would be promoted to fill the vacancy, thus creating vacancy in the deputy ship. The name of P. R. Mines, inn migration commissioner, is mentioned as a possibility in this connection. During the special session, an attempt was made to abolish the office of im- migration commissioner. This failed, but through the insistent demands of certain democratic members of the house, no appropriation whatever was made in the appropriation bill for car rying on the work of this important office. Hence, Mines will have the honor of an office without pay after June 30, and to remedy this, it has been suggested that perhaps he will be made the deputy auditor.

A STRANGE CASE OF EX-
 SOLDIER WHO LOSES MEMORY

A young man arrived in the city Monday from Holbrook who was suf- fering from lapse of memory and who is in need of sympathy. He cannot tell where his home is and has told several different tales. He states that his name is Chas. Card we'll and all that he can remember is that he is a member of the Elks be- longing to No. CPS and he thinks it is located at Oklahoma City. He fur ther states he is member of the American Legion. Both of these or ders are in communication with var ious lodges. The Elks have no No. CPS lodge at Oklahoma City but the lodge of this number is located at Milford, Mass. At this writing his relatives or friends have not been To- cated. He further states that he was insured while making a transcontin- ental trip with an unknown couple in Ford car. He was furnishing the gasoline and driving the car. They experienced trouble at Holbrook and while he was attempting to repair the car the man of the party drove into him and injured his head and since that time he has suffered lapse of memory and cannot recall his home. They placed him on the train and bought him ticket to this city. He carries three insurance policies and it is hoped to shortly be able to clear up the mystery and if possible appre- bend the guilty parties who injured the young fellow. .Winslow Mail.

TAKES POISON TABLETS
 BY MISTAKE; IS DEAD

Three strychnine tables, taken in the belief that they were laxative preparation, proved fatal to Chris Leopold, butcher of long standing in Globe. Leopold suffered an acute attack of convulsions shortly after entering a Globe restaurant and. though taken immediately to the county hospital, where stomach pump was used, the aged man suc-- cumbed to the poison. The deceased had not for the past six months been employed at his trade but had been living on his mining claims in the Sleeping Beauty district where he is said to have made rich strike sev- eral days ago. He came to Globe yesterday for the purpose of having certain samples assayed, and is said to have complained at that time of feeling ill.--Silver Belt.

MEXICAN DIES AS RESULT
 OF SHOOTING AT SELIGMAN

Insisting with his last breath that the shot that hit him was the result of an accident, Plasido' Lara, Mexican, died at 8 o'clock Tuesday at Prescott. Lara was taken to Pres colt following the accident in which he was shot at Seligman by Virginia Munoz.
 According to the story told by both Lara and Mrs. Munoz and Perea Munoz, husband of the woman, the three were talking and laughing when Mrs. Munoz picked up revolver and was tossing it around when it ex- ploded, Lara being hit in the abdo- men. The bullet caused an internas hemorrhage, which resulted in Lara's death at the Mercy hospital.
 In his statement to Father Tor rente, the Catholic priest, and to As sistant District Attorney Westervelt, Lara said the whole affair was acci- dental.

SNAKES ALIVE

Live rattlers have fallen off to 8 cents pound. The rattlesnake king of Texas has over 100000 on hand in the face of this slump. It is pretty tough when a man has eight or ten carloads of hungry rattlers to have the market all shot to pieces over night. People who used to worry where their next rattlesnake was coming from do not seem to care for them any more. In the face of a bear market a man who has nothing much but a flock of impatient rat. tiers may easily feel the pinch of poverty. Unless the people of Amer ica should take it into their heads to buy rattlers as Christmas presents for their young it would look as if the rattlesnake king was due for a hard year.

RACER KILLED
 IN SHIPMENT TO YUMA

A valuable race mare owned by W. s. Stockton, of Wilcox, Arizona, had to be shot early Thursday morning when it fell between baggage car and the platform in the Southern Pa cific yards while employees of the American Railway Express were transferring the animal from one car to another.
 The horse, accompanied by it's own CT, was being returned to Wilcox af- ter a three-months campaign at Tia juana. The express car carrying the crated racer arrived in Yuma over the San Diego and Arizona Railroad and it was necessary to make trans fer to car in train No. no early Thursday morning.
 The mare became unruly when rN- moved from the crate and in plunging fell between the platform and the car.-Yuma Sun.

THIEF CAME A LONG
 WAY TO GET CAUGHT

Dan Kyle, erstwhile of Kansas City, travelled long way to escape the clutches of the law. But he must have been reading Diamond Dick lit- erature where there is no law west of the Rio Grande. "Them wuz good cid t,aya." But it's not so any more.
 Deputy Sheriff w. G. Kelly formed a reception committee to welcome the stranger in our midst. Few can get by fellow with the name of Kelly. So to make the long trail of Dan Kyle into a short tale, the gentleman in question, accused of having appro- priated $2200 from a collector for a chain of grocery stores in K. C., vas brought to Holbrook, waived extradi- tion and will be sent back to Missouri. It may be the "show me" state, but we have the officers who can do it. Holbrook Tribune.
