side Informs the wayfaer that the saloon
is called "The Station" The saloon is
located at the corner of West Newark and
Tonnelle avenues. The shades were drawn
and the front door was closed. The side
door on Ionnele avenue was slightly ajar,
however. Another entrance much,used by
growler rushers was through the hallway
entrance from West Newark avenue.
There were a couple of toughs at the
bar when entered the place. The place
was dirty and thick with flies. An ill
looking fellow was behind the bar. The
drinks that Were served were wretched.

place a little tot of girl, who was not
over six years old, asked for aud received

the stale beer were SO sickentng that did
not larry in the place.
MEETEE'S PLACE.
John McEntee, another Alderman,
hagrantly violated the law. McEnsee
keeps a saloon at No. 222 Newark avenue.
This saloon, though not as low place as
Keogh's, was bad enough. The front
door, of course, was closed, but entrance
was gained through a hallway. The
sleepy looking bartender woke up from a
reverie when entered and served me
with drink. While waiting outside l
.tenements enter the place with cans and
when they left the cans were filed with
beer.
REPUBLICAN KAISER.
The biggest saloon in Lafayette is that
owned by Alderman Kaiser in conjune-
tion with his brother. 1t is called the
Lafayette House and is on johnson ave-
nue. One would think to look at the
place that Kaiser could afford to close up
his place on Sunday as his profits during
the week must be large. But the place
was open yesterday. Entrance was
gained through a side door. There was
no one in the saloon when entered, but
the bartender and a young man. One
could get any drink on the calendar, and
the bartender did not hesitate to serve
Children with pints OF beer.
The Sunday liq uor traffic carried on by
the Aldermen IS a profitable one and 1t
has been said that these officials make
more money on this day than any day in
the week. While proprietors of saloons
near these places operated by the Alder
men make some attempt TO cover no the
fact that they are violating the Sunday
law The Aldermen make no attempt to
conceal the fact and assure their
customers that they may fear
nothing. as policemen dare not arrest
them. The open defiance of the police
powers and wholesale ignoring of Judge
Lippincott'S orders to have saloons kept
closed on Sunday is disgrace to the city,
and thousands of people are patiently
waiting for Mayor Wanssr to direct Su-
perintendent Smith to close. The Su.
perintendent is waiting only Tor Mayor
Wanser to move in the matter.

The Governor did not order the tt ,ops
out on the strength of any alarming re-
ports from Homestead, as all was quiet
during the day in that town. His action
was brought about by telegram received
at eight o'clock last evening from Sheriff
McCleary, in which that official said b g
was powerless to enforce the law, and
called upon the Governor to furnish q
large military force.
Sheriff McCleary's message read as fol-

Before the last word was spoken, the
two men were in the saddle galloping
toward Sawmill Flat, and Jennie Dun
bar began to count the minutes until
their return. She had not intended TO
deceive them when she gave the order
Lees name; she only did 1t to add
weight, for scarcely man in Rosario
but would have deemed II an honor to
make some sacrifice for the brave physi-
clan who had served them so we'll.
1t was o'clock In the evening when
the two messengers started from 10
sarlo. At FIVE o'clock in the morning
they were back with Hawkins and Cad
well, the former Of whom had come will
ingly enough, the latter after some
demur.
The anxious girl was waiting for
them, and at once conducted them 10
the cottage where Richard Dent, In all
the throes Of the last stages OF the fever,
awaited his srapidly approaching
end. They were none too soon. for the
power Of speech had already left him,
and dellrium would speedily set In.
Lee, who was in the room, was much
surprised when Hawkins and the others
entered. and would have ordered them
ont. But Haw kins had been advised OF
what was necessary by Jennie.
Excuse my rudeness, Doc" he said,
'but am here by virtue OF my magis-
terial commission received from the
Governor Of Arizona. Now, Caldwell,
you ask questions Of this poor cuss. i
will listen.
Caldwell at once began: "Do you
know anything Of the murder of old
Squire Bowes Of Leybundale, YORK
shire?"
Dent nodded.
"Did this man, DR.. Lee, have aught
to do with it?"
A shake OF the head was Dents reply.
do you know who did commit that
murder?'
Again Dent nodded affirmatIvely.
'sCan you tell Us who did?"
The dying man nodded once more aud
ieebly pointed his forehnger at himself.
"And your name is Richard Dent?"
Another nod.
THAT will do CALDWELL" said Haw-
kins, who now stood over Dent doc
tor, hold up tbs sick mans hand"
Lee complied.
Now, them" said Hawkins. "you

Bowes at Ley burndsle, Yorkshire, EGG.
was committed by you, Richard Dent;
and that John Lee was not party to the
act in any way, shape or manner? That
is the truth. so help you God?D
For the last time Dent nodded assent,
and then all but the doctor left the
room.
Richard Dent was the last victim OF
the yellow fever at Rosario; but the
quarantine was not removed for some
weeks, during which all the SawmiIl
Fiat people were CON PEELED to remain

On the 1st day of January John Leo
was SUI at Denver. and there, about \
week later, letter from Jim Hawkins
Iouno him. The following is the letter,
WIN all grammatical errors eliminated:
CIrY OF SAwMILL FLAT, ARIZONA !
TERRITORY, January 1. 1850.
Dear Friend-Ws have Just held our
election for mayor. The boys nomin-
ated you, aud we polled a full vote.
You are elected by reclamation. Hur-

hold OF the city? All the boys send

once went down TO ''take hold"

Is still its honored mayor, and he will

Q1ebt the privilege OF addressing my
friends-and others-in this room"
1t was we'll for John Lee, as well as
for the man who had cast so terrible q
slur upon him, that he promised what
was evidently to be an explanation at a
future meeting. Otherwise, there would
probably have been q terrible uproar
that night in the embryo city of Saw
mill Flat. As II was, DR.. Lees request
was complied with, aud the meeting
stood adjourned for one week.

There was another pause, during
which Lee gave Dent some medicine 10

"Why don't you tell the boys, doctor?

or dozen like me, II you only say the

When John Lee left, by the front

lay dying, Jennie Dunbar, who, unseen,

ponies out here at the back. I'll bring
them round while you rest"
Lee was wide awake by this time, and
his professional interest was aroused.
He had plenty TO think Of now beside
his own troubles, and that suited John
Lee. He set all that his modest lardef
contained before the tired messenger,
and gave him glass Of whisky and
water.
''Do you feel like doubling?" Lee
asked the man half an hour after his
arrival.
"You bet do, Doc. I'm made over,
and Pm good for q hundred mIles-by
the Lord, doctor, you're the stuff, You
are. 1 suppose you know, sir, that
once you're in Rosario you can't get
out"
Come on; never mind that. Let's
start"
Both men stepped outside, where the
ponies were waiting. Lee locked the
door, and with a piece of chalk wrote
upon 1t: "Gone to Rosario-yellow
fever" Then they leaped into their
saddles and eantered away.
The settlement or town OF Rosario was
much larger place than Sawmill Flat,
although the settlers were by no means
so prosperous as those at the Flat.
Rosario was now visited by that fearful
scourge from which none OF Uncle Sans
territory bordering on the gulf and the
Mexican line is altogether exempt. The
terrible summer climate, the morasses
and swamps, and the bad drinking
waterfall lend their aid to the plague
itself. which, when it once breaks out,
fees before nothing but the winter
frosts.
1t was noon when Lee and his COM
panion reached the "dead" line OF pick
cts, posted for quarantine purposes
around the afflicted place by people Of
the adjacent districts, and there the
physician parted with his guide.
Lee was not at all fearful. he had
himself suffered from the ''yellow jack"
In q mild form; and he had afterwards
been one of the most active and sue
cessful doctors when the scourge had
visited New Orleans two years before.
OF course he incurred some risks, but
not so many as those who had never
been attacked by the disease, or who
knew nothing of the correct method for
treating it.
He was q welcome arrival In that
miserable community Of dead and dying,
and he plunged right into his work. Be-
fore dark he had visited every case, and
enrolled corpse of assistants to nurse
the silk and TO enforce the rules which
be dreR 70 minimize the spread OF
the pla. iightfall, too, he had
