Rev. John G. Lamb


Relatives here, Friday, received
news of the death of Rev. John c.
Lamb, aged 20, at the home of his
daughter in Groveton, n. H, where
he had gone to pass the winter.
His death was the result of shock.
Mr.. Lamb passed his youth and
early manhood in Montville. About
1880 he became active in religious
work and for several years he was
a Methodist minister filing several
charges with good success. Failing
health compelled him to give up the
active work Of a circuit preacher
but his name has always appeared in
the Methodist year book as one of
the local ministers, and he has been
much in demand to conduct funeral
services and on special occasions.
He was a pleasant, impressive and
sympathetic speaker and his life has
been an exemplification of the high
est Christian character.
He located in Troy, where he en-
gagged in business. He is survived
by widow, the daughter above
mentioned and two sons, George and
Cliffopd Lamb, who reside in Massa-
chusetts, many more distant rela-
tives and host Of friends also
mourn his passing.

der a mesquite bush 200 feet off
the highway in the Gila section
about six miles from here. The
body had lain under the bush for
two months, those who viewed it
asserted.
Officers who checked the body
for marks of identification were
able to find nothing but silver
watch, an ancient blue soldiers
cap with some gold braid around
it and a few trinkets. The body
was garbed in a pair of khaki pants.
The man was evidently we'll along

Undersheriff Dunn is of the
opinion the corpse is that of Rus

border at San LuiZ few months
ago because he was not able to
show immigration papers, and who
disappeared some time afterward.

TO RALPH CAMERON
SOME FAIR QUESTIONS

Senator Cameron, you are asking
the people of Arizona to return you
to the senate that you may, among
other things, protect their interests
in the Colorado river. By general
agreement, and your own admission
that stream is the most important
natural resource left to this state.
To see that the state is deprived
of none of its Colorado rights is.
therefore, the most important duty
that can devolve upon any repre-
sentative whom Arizona may send
to Washington.
But will you, when the crucial
moment comes, protect first the in
terests of Arizona, or the interests
of your wife, your son, your secre-
tary and your business associates
in their string Of mining claims
staked for 25 miles along the low
er reaches of the Grand Canyon
and Bulls Head dam sites?
Simply because your own name
does not appear on the list of loca-
tors, will you now tell the voters
of Arizona, as you once stated on
the floor of the senate, that you
have no personal interest in the
Colorado river?
VIII you use all your boasted in
f1uence with the national admins
tratlon an dWith the government
departments to set aside those To-
cations, conflicting as they are with
the claim of Arizona to the bed
of the river?
The government has brought
suits to eject your friend, G. Hen
ry Stetson, your wife, your son
and various other persons closely
associated with you and Stetson
from the canyon. Those suits are
still pending on the federal court
dockets at Prescott and at Carson
City, Nevada.
Have you done everything in your
power, Senator, to bring those ac-
tions to speedy trial and eliminate
one of the clouds hanging over Ari-
zona's title to the Colorado's bed ?
On the contrary, have you not
used your bOasted influence to de-
lay the hearings?
The government cases against
your wife, your son, your partner
in many Grand Canyon ventures,
and various others who appear to
be merely dummy" locators, were
prepared by Harold Baxter, ap-
pointed by Attorney General Stone
as special prosecutor in matters in
volving land titles in Arizona He
alleged that there was not sufficient
mineral to justify the placer claims
that stretch along the Colorado for
% miles, nor any at all to warrant
the lode claims superimposed over
the placer locations and covering
the Boulder Canyon site.
Is it not fact that you eXerted
your bOasted influence and brought
about BaXter's removal when he
was fully prepared to go to trial?
The people who elected you to
office may think it their privilege
to question you with regard to what
you know Of the intentions and mo-
tives Of these litigants whose claims
are so directly at variance with
those Of Arizona even though mem
bers of your own family be num-
bered among those who have plast-
cred mining locations over three
of the five best dam sites in the
Grand Canyon
In the event the government fin
ally succeeds i'll having those cases
brought to trial, and wins them,
will the defendants not appeal and
delay final settlement for years,
even as you dragged out for a quar-
ter of century the disnnte over 1T
