A Drastic Measure.
Phonelx, Ariz., Nov. 3. The
most drastic proposition yet
submitted to the Arizona con
stitutional convention was In
troduced today by Delegate
Cunnllf, of Yavapai county. It
provides for the lmpeachement
and removal from office of
Judges without according them
a personal hearing.
The proposition eamn up be
fore the convention assembled
as a committee of the whole,
and was the subject of much de
bate. Final action upon It was
delayed by a close vote.
--
there Is much seml-arld land, and
under the Kincald homestead law
many land seekers bad taken out
claims. This land the ranchers used
for grazing purposes they were dis
pleased when fences were put up and
the land was divided Into smaller
tracts.
The homeseekers were, It Is al
leged, at first subjected to a number
of petty annoyance. Then' followed
more serious efforts on the part of
the ranchers to drive them from the
country. This feeling resulted in a
crisis, the demands charge, when,
during the spring months a Tald
was planned and 30 armed ranch
men and ranch workers descendod
upon the homesteads.
Destroyed Machinery,
Half a dozen of the raiders lev
eled rifles at the homesteaders and
kept them covered while the rest of
the party cui up hari.ess, trampled
down crops slid destroyed machin
ery. 'As they rode away from the
lands they had devastated,, they
threatened .bodily Injury and death
to the homesteaders, It Is allaged,
unless they left their claims.
C. 3. Davasher was one of the men
whose homesteads, It Is alleged,
were visited by the raiders. He
threatened to shoot the mob If any
of Its members ever returned.
It Is charged that Perry Yeast-
swore out a warrant against Davash

bond to keep the peace.

ROBBER

Assassin Fired Two Shots
Left '$40 in It, and His Purse, Containing $193, Was
Left in Buggy $40 Was Found Under Bridge This Morn
ingMemoranda Shows He Had $7500, But Whether With
Him or Not Is Not Known.
One of the most atrocious and
cold-blooded crimes that has been
committed In thd history of Marion
county was the murder and proba
ble robbery of J E. Roberts, an old
and highly respected citizen of this
city, which occurred at the covered
bridge which spans Mill creek near
the reform school, about 6:30
o'clock last evening, as near as can
be ascertained , by the meagre evi
dence at hand. No clue has been ob
tained as to the Identity of the per
petrator of the deed but it Is evi
dent that robbery , was the object,
and it was done by some one who
was familiar with the old gentle
man's planB and was aware that he
was In the habit of carrying money
with him.
The first report of the murder
was made by Earl Gardner, a young
man of this city who was returning
to the-city with a livery rig which
he had driven Into the country, who
found the body of Mr. Roborts lyinj
at the south end of the covered
bridge wltba large bullet Bole In
the head and Jife very nearly extinct.
He reported the matter to the sher
iffs omoe Immediately and also sum
moned medical assistance for the in
jured man but the victim be
yond human aid when the doctors
arrived and expired soon afterward
When found Mr. Roberts had cash
and currency to the amount of $283
In his grip which had been rifled by
the assailant, and In his purse
which was found in the buggy, ami
$40 In gold was found In the water
underneath the bridge by Superin
tendent Looney of the reform school
this morning.
Mr. Roberts baa been making his
home with his son-in-law and daugh
ter, Prof, and Mrs. U. S. Dotson, ot
1009 Union street. He was an ec
centric old gentleman and, as near
as can be learned, has been keeping
account with the various banking
houses of the city but has not drawn
out any monoy in any considerable
amount for some time past. It is al
so learned that, according to mem
late to act on the matter, and the city
attorney hods that the matter can be
submitted at any time within 30 days
of the regular election, aud save the
expense of a special election, as the
city recorder Is required to submit it
to a special election within 90 days,
If the council does not act. That Is
the opinion of counsel for the citizens
backing this movement, to tak the
selection of a water board out of the
bands of the city council, and place
It in the hands of the mayor, and
reducing the number of the board
from five to three, and maklug It non
partisan. The city attorney rulea with the
petitioners, who number about 300,
and come from every part of the city.
welcome.
WAS THE OBJECT
PROBABLY SCARED
PART OF THE FilOflEY
Grip Was Cut Open, But Robber
oranda found upon his person, that
he was Indebted to the Unite States
National and the Capital National
banks. He has been in the habit of
carrying money with him in amount
varying from $200 to $300 and this
points to the theory advanced by tho
officers and his relatives that the
crime was committed by some one
who was familiar with, his habits
and had been shadowing him for
some time' past and either waylaid
him upon his Journey to the home
of his brother, near .Turner, last
evening, or may have been riding
with him In the buggy.
Strang Huns from Porch.
Professor Dotson thinks that Mr.
Hoberts had been shadowed by
someone for the purpose of robbery
for several days and this conclusion
is arrived at from the fact that, a
few nights ago, Mrs. Dotson heard
aome one upon the front porch of
their home and when she turned on
tho porch light, a rmn. ran away
and dlsappt.je& - lu ibe -drri(t;.

I face but she describes him generally

suit of clothes, Nothing further
was seen of this mysterious stranger
and the Incident was forgotten un
til the murder transpired. ' .
Paid Iclts in Cash.
It Is not'deflnltely known whether
or not Mr. Roberts carried a large
aunt of money with him upon this
occasion but one ot his eccentricities
was that he was never known to
pay off an obligation with a check
and always paid In cash. A memor
