, ness along the street, as they express
ed themselves some weeks ago when
the discussion of the subject was being
quito freely INDUCED in. Mr.. Rice
takes the position that the fair oln
rot be the work CT week or month,
but must be the product Of effort thLt
will extend over months and CT q
careful organization that will bring the
wide diversity of interests of the coun-
ty into complete harmony with the
idea by the exhibition of their prod
ucts at the fair.
It was pointed out by one of the
directors Of the bd rd who learned of
M. Rice's statement, that IL furnishes
remarkably strong commendation oil
the board of directors because of their
cause of Rice for president. "The
attitude that Mr.. Rice assumes in re-
gard to starting the work now and
seeing that funds are in sight for it
is the finest gta rantee of success of
the effort" said this director. "And
the attractive things about it is that
Mr.. Rice has made conditions that are
possible Of meeting and at the same
time that make possible success of
the fair effort. II appears to me ttIlt
il was the best possible solution OF
the problem Of how to insure an other
Yair when Mr.. Rice was chosen to head
our organization"
Secretary George B. Doubleday Of
the Douglas chamber of commerce has
been closely identified with the fair
association because Of his secretarial
duties talked of the situation yester-
day. because of my relations with
the fair association through the sec
retarysfip of the chamber have been
in rather close touch with the associa-
tion and also with the public sentiment
req riding fair meeting" said Secre-
tary Doubleday. KNOWING the lineup,
I am delighted that Mr.. Rice was Sc
lected president because am con-
vinced that he will bring to the posi-
ton every attribute that is needed
ed to make the fair meeting next fail
the best that has ever been held IN
the county.
I'm the first place, Mr.. Rice is in
sympathy with the pl1n to hold q
fair meeting. He has never wavered
in his advocacy of the benefits of
fair meeting. He has always been
ready and willing to carry MS snare
of effort snd expense in bringing about
the fir meeting. He believes in plac-
ing such enterprises suarely on bust
ness basis and he knows how to handle
the business features and when they
are well handled if that duty is as
signed to others. He has discern
ment of ability in men and will be
able to make a careful selection of a
fair manager who will put the fair
over with credit to the association. 1t
was a fortunate selection in making
Mr.. Rice president Of the association
in my opinion
The fair association owns its
grounds and the buildings are in rea-
sonablely good condition. The track
is suitable for use and the property is
paid for. The association owes less
than $500 and as one person put it, is
sound and solvent as a going concern.
It was regarded as probable, after
Mr.. Rice issued his statement, that he
would call q meeting of the board of
directors within a few days and that
the problem OF meeting his conditions
for accepting the presidency would be
taken up and acted upon

The primary object of the week

DIES
AFTER MONTH
AT HOSPITAL

Charles Rogers, the colored man
who drank poison at the county Jail
in Tombstone more than month ago,
died at the county hospital here on
Tuesday morning at $3.50. Rogers, who
was awaiting trial on a charge of muir
der at the time he drank the poison
had steadfastly clung to life since al
though how he lived with the poison
eating at his vitals was puzzle to
physicians and nurses.
Deputy Sheriffs Brown, of Tomb
stone, and Ash land Reed of Douglas
had been guarding the man since he
was brought to the hospital here.
Each deputy took turn at the night
guard and one at the day guard so that
in 12-hour shifts the three men have
watched lat the beside of the dying
man continually. Deputy 0. A. Ash
was with him when he died. The body
was brought to the Porter AmeS NOR.
tuary where it was prepared for burial.
Rogers was charged with the murder
of soldier of the Tenth cavalry at
Fort Hrachuca and was to have been
tried in the superior court. The case
had been set and but few days be-
fore tine for the trial the man drank
a quantity of disinfectant preparation
used in cleaning the cells at the tsil.
At that tune physicians did not ex-
pect the man to live more than few
hours, but he revived and at times
seemed on the way to recovery only
to relapse and grow gradually wG1ker.
