There was civil case before Justice
Thomas Yesterday that was the source of q
great deal of amusement II was the SUIT OF
Sm;tzmver against kesler, for the recovery
of board bill. kesler is a brother OF Mrs.
Smitzmyer and was helping on the farm
o. H. Bentley conducted the case for the
plaintiff and @. W. G. Jones, assisted by L.
b. Wall managed the defense. Mr.. Smitz-
rnver kept the court and everyone present
in roars Of laughter BY his humorous re-
marks while giving his testimony. Mr..
Bently and Mr.. Jones spread themselves to
their fullest extent in making their argu-
rnents, both gentlemen exhibiting wonderful
literary attachments and legal lore. An
EAGLE reporter visited the court in the heat
Of the action; when Mr.. Jones with his coat
Off and the perspiration rolling down ms
cheeks. was hammering the knotty points OF
the case into the court, with vehemence
that could hardly fail of conviction, while
Mr.. Bentley sat by as grave as a chief jus
tice perusing the statutes in search OF the
law bearing on cases Of this kind. The re-
porter, owing to pressure of business was
compelled to forego the pleasure Of hearing
all the Arguments.

Yesterday WAS an unusually lively day
from business point OF view. A lar Sc
number Of farmer teams were in the city
and Main street and Douglas avenue were
literally thronged with vehicles of every
description during the day. All our mer-

trade. If grain would take any decided up
ward turn our city would undoubtedly wit

the Democratic candidate was elected, and
fearing the depressing eject upon the mar,

A statement in our last weeks issue appears to kaye been mis- construed as referring to all the employees of the prison. Such was not the case. No reflection was intended upon the manage ment of the prison. but simply the utterances of an individual guard. The guard as a body are well known as men of bravery, efficiency and well qualified for their position. They will com pare favorably with any similar body in the United States, and in no way are responsible for the action of an individual guard.

As election day draws near much chinning and private work is being done by the different candidates for office.

An absurd report was started

An absurd report was started in this vicinity that the manager of the SENTINEL was instrument tai in having the section hands removed and their places filled with Chinamen. The absurdity of this canard should be plain to every sensible person. The rail- road company are in the habit of attending to their own business affairs. They do not interfere with county matters except to protect their own interests. Take Yuma county, for instance. They pay two thirds of the taxes that go into the county treasury, and should have, the same as any other taxpayer or firm, some voice as to the disposition of that money. They have been at an almost incredible expen>e in the repairing of bridges, washouts, etc., in this territory during the mast year, good portion of which money has remained in the ter ritory. They have been and are a benefit to this county and should he protected m their property the same as any other firm. It wil invariably be found that the indi- viduaIs who talk the loudest against railrods and other inter- nal improvements are not repre-

Before the SENTINEL again greets it's readers the election ag- ony will be over, and peace will reign. The country now is in a turmoil and will continue so until next Tuesday. Men are crying themselves hoarse and newspa- pers are using barrels of ink in trying to make people believe that if their particular candidates are not elected the country willgo to the devil. But when the sun rises on next Wednesday morn ing it will be found that no mat ter who is elected the country will pursue the even tenor of its way, and no material disaster will overtake us. In most of the counties in this territory the fight has been one of the most bitter ones ever experienced. Howev- CT, when all is over we have no doubt that all past differences will be forgotten and everyone will unite and join hands in working for the best inteles of the territory. All have blown off the surplus steam that has been accumulaiing for the past two years and should now then be ready te settle down to legiti- mate business.

In aDswer..to the statement in last weeks Republican in regard to the extravaganza of the school board of trustees of district No. l, we give the following as the total expenditures as shown by the books of the treasurer. In addition to the usual current ex- penditures 600 feet of piping was laid from the railroad company's water mains to the school house. Also, new desks and school furni- ture of the latest approved mod els were purchased, which all our citizens know were an absolute necessity for the proper advance ment, comfort and sanitary con- fort of the pupils. During the term of the trustees a fine library was established for the benefit of the school children and many needed improvements made on the school building. We think that any unbiased citizen will give the trustees credit for aD honest and economical manage mentof their trust. The only com. plaint comes from parties whose sole animus is personal malice and spite; who have have no chil- dren to educate; whose names do not appear on the roll for taxes for school purposes, and who have no interests whatever at stake. Following is a tabulated list of the expenditures:
