CLARK MAY ASK FOR
RECOUNT OF BALLOTS

Phoenix- 1t became known here
Monday that supporters of E. S.
Clark, Republican nominee for gov
ernor in the recent election were go
ing ahead with plans for a recount Of
the ballots of the state Governor
Hunt was given a majority of 333
after the official canvasses of the
tally sheets had been made.
The delay in taking steps for re-
.ount, it was stated, has been due
to the effort to raise sufficient funds
% participate in a contest, should
the votes indicate that one should be
prosecuted. The recount of the ballots
would take about two weeks and
would not cost a large sum, but
should contest ensue it is estimated
The cost would be something like
$4,000 for both sides. This is based
)n the expenditures Of 1916 when
Governor Hunt contested the appar-
mt election of Thomas E. Campbell,
and, by supreme court decision, was
given the governorship, although
Campbell was shown with a majority
in the election. The court would have
no alternative but to accede to re-
quest for a recount

SUFFOCATED MINER
FOUND STANDING IN
CORNER OF CELLAR

Standing erect in a corner of
concrete-walled basement, with hands
raised TO shield his face, the body Of
Lucas Hernandez, 80 years old, Mex
ican employe of a Miami mining
company, was found early Sunday
morning by searchers following a fire
which burned a six-room frame dwell
ling under which Hernandez and an
other miner had sleeping quarters.
Awakened as smoke and flame
filled their sleeping quarters, resi-
dents of the floor above attempted to
rescue the man trapped below, but by
that time all means of egress from
the room had been cut off by falling
joists and flooring. It is assumed
that Hernandez, awakened from sleep
and finding escape cut off, was
crowded by the flames and falling
embers into the corner in which his
body was found and that he died of
suffocation. The body was badly
burned.

BODY OF MURDERED MAN
FOUND NEAR WICKENBURG

Shot twice through the chest, the
body Of jim Hall, "a, miner recent
ly known to have been employed at
the Gold. Bar mine, Is miles north
east of Wickenburg was found Mon
day by Warren Willis of Phoenix
shortly before noon, lying face down
in the brush, at the foot of 15-foot
embankment, about a mile southeast
OF Wickenburg in the direction of
Phoenix on the Hassayampa trail. Ex-
cept for the gunshot wounds, there
were no marks of violence.
All the appearances indicate muir
der From the footprints and the
drag marks in the sand, it seemed
that Hall had been lugged dead from
some vehicle, presumably an automo-
bile, dragged to the roadside and
then rolled down the embanl1ment.
DR.. ]. A. Copeland, after driving to
the scene of the discovery, pronounc-
ed that death had occurred at least
IL hours before the body was found.
From the position of the wounds
and the course traversed by the bull
let's, which had been fired from a SO
calibre automatic pistol, the doctor
believed that Hall had been shot first
in the back, had wheeled to face his
assailant and received second bull
let in the chest The first shot had
bored clean through the body, but the
bullet was so nearly spent that after
leaving the body a little above the
heart, it lodged in his clothes.

BOY HERO AVENCES The
SHOOTING OF HIS FATHER

Lawrence Moss, 10, released re-
Gently from the state industrial
school at Fort Grant, is held prison
er in the county jail on charge of
robbery in connection with the shoot
ing and robbery Saturday of w. f.,
Perry, SO, proprietor of a grocery
store at Lateral IA and Glendale ave-
nue., Phoenix.
The robbery occurred about II
O'Clock yesterday morning at Per-
ry's store. The proprietor, according
to his story to deputies, was counting
his money preparatory to deposit
ing it in a Phoenix bank, when Moss
entered the store.
"Stick 'em up" Moss is said to
have told Perry as he entered the
store. The proprietor in the belief
. that Moss was joking, failed to COM
ply with the order. The next instant
Moss opened fire, sending one bullet
through Perry's jaw and another
through his right lung.
The bandit next grabbed up the
money in sight, totaling more than
$500, and ran from the store.
At almost the same instant, Lynn
Perry, the storekeeper's son, enter
ed the establishment, took his fa-
theirs Nun from behind the counter
and followed Moss from the store.
He fired four shots at the fleeing
youth, one of which struck the fu-
gitive in the neck, infhcting flesh
wound. Moss, according to young
Perry, turned and fired one shot be-
fore he disappeared in a nearby
field

"UNCLE JOE" CANNON ENDS
MOST EVENTFUL LIFE

"Uncle Joe" Cannon died at Dan
vile, H., last Friday at the age of 90.
In the rambling brick mansion he
had built for his bride many years
ago, life slowly ebbed away from the
old statesman whose iron-handed
tactics in congress won his the title
of car Of the house back in the days
before he fell, in 1910.
The anne dominant spirit with
which "yyJncle Joe" ruled the house of
representatives SO many years was
summoned by him in his fight against
old age. He continued his daily walk
down town until physicians ordered
him to replace it with an automobile
ride, and in recent weeks his fading
mind and body had not permitted
him to leave home.
Last May however, he attended :.
birthday party giveo by Danville XII
wanians honoring his ninetieth birth
day anniversary and portioned the
big cake among boy scouts while pho
tographers clicked their cameras and
in June he broke ground for st. James
Methodist church, which he joined af-
ter his retirement from congress and
where he sat in the pew his late wife
occupied so many wears. He was un-
able to appear at laying
ceremonies in August.
A cold contracted III July gave him
much worry, and it was then he toe k
to motoring instead oi walking. The
first indication that his condition was
grave was given WHEN his daughter,
Helen, was summoned home from
Europe hurredly in September.
For the first time since he voted
for Lincoln, in 1860, Cannon failed to
cast his ballot a weci; ago last Tues
day. He would have gone to the
polls, he said, but long period OF
rainy weather prevented him fr1m
registering.

christened him "Uncle joe" And I'M
der that title, confirmed by millions
who never saw him, yet knew every
line of his worn face and whimsical
trait Of his intense personality, tUn-
Gle Joe" came at last to end his ca
reer as eldest statesman of the na-
ton; the man of longest service in
the congress; the object of honors

The terms of the contract are re-
garded as extremely liberal for both
parties. The combined sheep COM
panies will pay $685. 900 for the 10000
odd acres of range, and will allow
the receiver for the Coburn cattle
outfit full facilities for gathering,
holding, and selling the cattle. 1t is
stipulated that the work must be
pretty well in hand by next July /,
but there are provisions whereunder

that in order to clean up the range.
Sheep may be brought down by pur-
chasers must be so regulated as not
to interfere with the cattle move
ments, and the cattlemen are to
have the use of corrals and holding
grounds for their work.
The TIT acres of patented land
constitute several small ranch hold
ings with considerable improvements
such as houses, barns, implements,
water developments, and these
acres Control" great deal of for
est grazing area. There are many
fences in this district compared with
other forest grazing areas and some
Of them are constructed with the
advice of the forest service. III. Basil
Wales, until last summer the super
visor of the Prescott National Forest
gave a great deal of time to the study
of range conditions in the Basin, and
was extremely interested in the work
ing out of fences in order to control
the grazing both of sheep and cattle
here.
The sheep outfits are to pay $15,-
900 on delivery Of the contract, $10,-
600 before January / and the remain
ing $4,000 before next July l.
It is estimated that there are $500
head Of cattle remaining in the hands
of the Coburn receivership and that
these can be gathered and sold in
Is months for Approximately S175,-
600.
The bond holders originally receiv-
ed sd, 500 toward their 100000
principal. There has been about $685.
900 realized since the receivership
started. With the S65, 900 for the land
and the S175,000 the cattle are ex-
pected to bring, the financiers will
realize something around quarter
of million dollars from the invest
ment.
Pending the working cut of the
contract Of sale, whereby the cattle
are to be replaced by the sheep grad
ually during the next year or so, the
parties will operate by means of
working agreements as needed.

! Bloody Basin, Wrested from the In
dians among the earliest of the patch
es of ground the white man fancied,
late COS into Seattle range" within
the meaning of the range law, will
go to sheep.
A deal was authorized yesterday
| by the superior court whereby the
trustee for the bondholders of the Co
burn Cattle company, defunct as an
institution now for over year, may
sell this ancient stomping ground
of the beef critter to a group of sheep
interests of northern Arizona for
winter feeding ground. The Horse
shoe range which totals TIT acres
of patented land and 21,117.3 acres
| Of leased land, is near one of the
four great sheep driveways that
traverse the Central Arizona cattle
range and connect the high plateau
of Coconino county's sheep range
with the desert" in Maricopa, Pinal
and Yuma counties.
The approval of Judge Sweeney
was signed to the transaction
whereby there can now be seen af-
ter some years, the final working
out of the liquidation of an enormous
cattle fiefdom. And yet there is no
great tragedy in the conversion of
this beef barony into squalid re-
public Of sheep, for by all accounts
the land involved in this enterprise
is said to be more adapted to sheep,
than to cattle, and the United States
forest service, which has had con-
siderable opportunity to study range
conditions in the Basin, approves of
the transfer.
Just prior to 1870 the first cattle
ranching was started in this section
now included in the Horseshoe. It
was Judge E. w. Wells who brought
this domain into classification of
"cattle range" Subsequently, many
small ranch holdings were set up and
in 1916 the Coburn interests made
sweeping purchase that consolidat-
ed the ground of the Kellogg, Hook
er, Fain, Hazeltine and others into
the great Horseshoe ranch. And for
decade, the Horseshoe was the
name by which a great and import
ant beef producing enterprise was
known in that part of Yavapai and
Gila counties.
The wear of time and economic
tides, implacable in themselves and
exalted in power by the conditions
peculiar to the war and postwar per-
iods broke the big structure on
which the Coburns had erected this
prosperity. The unwise expansion
under the lash of war time necessity
and the slump in values at the sud-
den end of the war, caught this out
fit as it did many others, and the
Horseshoe entered into the phase Of
big financing just as hundreds of
other huge holdings have had to do.
The ranch was bonded for 100000.
G. Austin Haskell and Robert Smith
represent the bond holders in this as
they do in several other cases in this
vicinity.
Now that the affair is emerging, the
picture is palmer, and there can be
seen with some clarity, the working
OFT of the financial as well as the
economic (cattle versus sheep) trend.
The bond holders will probably real
ize a net of S250,000 on their S375,000
of bonds remaining unpaid at the
time the matter was forced into the
courts.
