HOUSING A STATUE.

The attack of the recent cold wave upon the Nae

without effect. While IL is true that the Greenougn
statue represents the father Of his country clad 10

THE DOHENEY CASE.

Twelve of William Doheney's peers have been unable to agree upon ver- dict. Six voted for his acquittal, and six for his conviction. Four men thought him guilty of cold -blooded, premeditated murder. Six men would have found him guilty of manslaughter. The case has excited unusual interest, owing to several uncommon features. The mur- dered man was killed by his son, but the prosecution claims under aggravated cir cumstances. The deceased, there is no doubt, had been an unnatural father and brutal husband. That he may have merited violent death might also be conceded, but that such punish- ment should be meted out by son is point for argument. It was not shown, as we read the defense, that the homi- eide, William Doheney, could not have escaped from the West.End Hotel, where the tragedy occurred, and pre-. vented a collision with his father if he had desired. The fact that the defend- ant testified that he staid to keep pos session of the property is sufficient to show that dollars and cents cut con- spicuous figure in the trouble. The elder Doheney did threaten his son the night of the killing, but it was similar to the idle threat uttered, perhaps, & hundred times. He was not armed when he called his son to come down. He could not have taken his sons life if he had desired, and the public in gem eral will not hesitate to say that the son took an unfair, an unnatural, advantage when he emptied the contents of @ shot, gun into the parent who gave him life. In this fast-going age it is not well to allow tillial duty to be buried too deeply. There was not, perhaps, one of the men of twelve who sat in judgment on Mir. Doheney, nor one of the attorneys for the prosecution or defense, nor one of the witnesses who testified in court, nor many of the vast throng of spectators who crowded the room of justice, who would not have gone to the iarthermost ends of the earth rather than face the alternative which William Doheney faced. He may have acted from i'm pulse. We hope he did. but whether from impulse or reconciliation the crime of homecide is one of the blackest in the annals of crime. The bad character of deceased; his cruel treatment of wife and children; his desertion, all com bined, do not whitewash the crime of his killing.
 All the members of the jury evidently failed to read it in that light, but the public unbiased by the eloquent and howery language of counsel see more clearly.
 It is very much regretted, likewise. that the jury was unable to agree on a verdict of some kind. As the result now stands the County will be put to heavy additional expense, and the ends of justice do not promise to be propor- tionately subserved. It is unfortunate in the extreme that such things occur, and yet in the case at hand, taking the circumstances as they were, it probably would have been difficult to have reached any other conclusion.

A NEW DISCOVERY

It is always hard to make people be- lieve that you have the best, especially when the article is newly invented one. They will look upon all proposi- tions made with suspicious eye but we trust they will give careful considers tion of the proposition we are about to make. We intend to show the people of this Territory the only road 70 prosper ity. We do not wish to show that State hood will alone develop the resources of this glorious country, but we contend, and do so not because we are now person. ally interested in this question, for we be- came interested because we saw the ad- vantages and necessity of going into this business, but because we honestly believe that the future prosperity of this Territory depends upon the reclamation of the desert lands ty windmills. We know what we say because we practice what we preach. California today is what she Is on account of windmills giving her "the start in life." The Ermotor is the latest improved mill and shows an increase of thirty-tve per cent in power over any mill manufactured. It is simply wonderful machine and performs wonders. For instance, a 16- foot Ermotor is equal--and is guaran- teed to be soto any 24-foot wheel made, and at an elevation of say thirty feet will work two good eight-inch pumps, which will throw 5000 gallons of water per hour. This means l92 900 gallons per day, and If you have large reser- voir you can let the mill run night and day. One hundred and ninety-two thousand gallons of water would irrigate ten acres of fruit trees per each tariff. Think oft. Do not doubt this statement, for we will sell our hills with this guar antee. We know the Ermotor will do it, and if it don't you are under no obliga- ton to take the same. We also guarantee that l6-foot Ermotor will work four inch pump 500 feet deep. Cattlemen this deserves your careful consideration, for you can save immensely by putting in an ErmOtor, and use your steam pumps in cases of emergency. The Ermotor will pump l00J feet. All steel and will last life time. Send for cir culars and further information.

THE Gazette argues from wrong prem ises when it cites us to the Texas code. The history of Texas courts and Texas justice do not run parallell with Arizona-Not by bottleful. Few States in the Union, If any, can show such a succession of impudent and unpunished crimes as the great State of Texas. Few States in the same Union can show a better criminal record than the wild and woody Territory of Arizona. The Doheney case, now before the public, is one of the few exceptions where murder has not been as promptly punished as horse stealing. Our courts in the main have been excellent and the work ac- complished by them such as gave satis- faction and confidence to the law-abiding citizen. Lynch law is dead letter in this Territory and it would not be if justice was tempered with. We agree with our contemporary though, when it says: Life in Maricopa county must be cheap when it is put in the balance with boquet of flowers and the senti- mentality of women."
