 CTucson Citizen, Rep.)
 Mir. J. 1T. Kibbey, of Florence, was yesterday appointed one of the Asso- ciate Justices of Arizona. The tele- grams, however failed to designate the district to which he has been assigned, but the general impression is that he relieves Judge Porter of the Second District. Be this as it may, we are pleased with Judge Kibbey's appoint ment, and we feel that his promotion will be no less gratifying to the peo- pie than it is to us. Judge kibbey has resided in the Territory for year or more, and is largely interested in Pinal county, he being the attorney for the Florence Canal Company, whose mammoth ditch will reclaim over 100000 acres of the finest land in America. Judge Kibbey is a young man of possibly 8 years of age, na- tive of Indiana and lawyer of excell- ent repute. The Citizen congratulates him on his appointment.
 (Tombstonc Epitaph, Rep)
 By reference to the dispatches in another column it will be seen that J. H. Kibbey, of Florence, has been appointed one Of the Associate Jus tices Of the Supreme Court of Arizona, and will probably take the place of Judge Porter. The writer is we'll ac- quainted with MT. Kibbey, and can congratulate the people living in the Second Judicial District on having a gentleman of his attainments and ability to administer the law for them When the Daily Epitaph learned ol his candidacy it predicted that he would receive the appointment. The Epitaph tenders congratulations to MT Kibbey.
 Phenix Arizonan, Dem.
 Judge Joseph H.

Those that know him report him as being a lawyer O. more than ordinary ability and a per feet gentleman withal. It is reported that he will succeed Judge Porter il the Second Judicial District. Judge Kibbey visited Phenix about three months ago.
 lPhenix Herald, Rep.
 The long expected appointment of <; new judge for this district has excited only favorable comment. Although a stranger comparatively in the terri tory, judge Kibbey seems to have i'm pressed those of our citizens who hay, met him, as a pleasant, intelligen gentleman. Jose NJ. Ochoa, of Flor ence, now visiting Phenix, declare him to be socially all that could b, expected. H. H. Wharton, who ha recently been thrown in contact witl the new Judge, confirms this opinion There can be little doubt but that il manner he will make friends and be come generally popular.
 With respect to professional attain ments our reporter Is informed tha he practiced law in Richmond, Indi ana. His father was for many year a respected circuit judge ill that state On leaving the bench he associate his son in law practice with him, S that our new judge is doubtless wel versed in the practical details as wel as learned in the theory of the law During his year and half residenc in Arizona he has, as attorney an secretary If the Florence Canal Con pany, been compelled to study irrigs ton questions not only from pract cal point of view, but also in their lt gal aspects. Such experience canno but be valuable to judge whose a tention will be so largely called to il rigation matters.
 Messrs Baker & Campbell hay known him professionally for som time, and are doubtless best a3quain ed with his attainments. They ar highly pleased with his appointmen and confident that he will prove yer acceptable and successful judge. H is said to be between 35 and 40 year of age.
 Not a fit. but an expression of d, light. "About week ago." says Lc Angeles, Cal. druggist, "a Chinama came in with a lame shoulder. I sol him a bottle of Chamberlain's Pai Balm and guaranteed that it woul cure him. He came in again last nigl and as soon as he got inside the doc began to swing his arms over his hea like an Indian club swinger. I thougl the blamed fool had a fit, but he fina ly stopped long enough to say "Me, cine velly fine, velly fine; ale san make me feel plenty good" Chambe lain's Pain Balm is without an eau forsprains, rheumatism, aches, pains lame back.
