Suit Against the Arizona Con-
struCtion Company.
Action Begun Yesterday Afternoon
by Col. c. S. Masten on Three
Separate Causes.

Suit was begun yesterday in the
district court by Col. w. @. Masten
through his attorney u. G. Israel
against the Arizona Construction COM
pany to recover s2l 900 on three separate
causes OF action.
In September, 1891. Col. Masten took
sub-contract under the defendants
engaged in the construction OF the dam
for the ella Bend Reservoir and Irriga-
ton company, to furnish the rockwork
Tor that structure. = According to the
specifications OF that sub-contract the
plaintiff was permitted to procure the
stone from within limited distance OF
1900 feet from the work in progress.
Afterward by direction OF the chief
engineer he was compelled to bring the
material from distance Of 5000 feet
although there was a sufficient supply
OF suitable stone within the limit
specified in the contract. 1t Is charged
that the object of the order was to in
crease the cost OF the construction to
the Reservoir and Irrigation company
and that the defendant has COLLECTED
such increased cost. For overhaul
charges theplaintiff prefers claim OF
$4,000.
1t is further set forth in the complaint
that in March Of the present year the
work was temporarily abandoned on
account Of high water and that the
plaintiff was not afterward permitted to
complete it, but that the defendant is
now engaged upon it employing men by
the day.
In consequence the plaintiff demands
50, 800 for non-fulfillment OF contract on
the part OF the defendant.
For another cause OF action the plain
tiff alleges that certain wagons, tools,
supplies and material were converted
by the defendants to their own use, for
which claim OF 800 is set up.
The papers in the case were filed late
yesterday afternoon and service was
obtained on o. l.. Pease, of Gila Bend,
the formal agent OF the Construction
company, az he was leaving the city
last night. Mr.. Pease is in no way con-
nected with the company, which is
foreign corporation and under the
statutes of the territory must have q
local resident agent. Mr.. Pease was so
appointed 10 conform to the statute.

a New ynrietr of Game.

Many new plants have been brought
to light in the recent explorations by
Englishmen. Frenchmen and Germans
in equatorial Africa, but one in particu-
lar has a special claim to the attention
of West Indians.
In the Upper Niger region, where
great heat and moisture combine to pro-
duce luxuriance Of tropical vegetation.
a giant variety OF sugar cane has been
found, which is described as possessing
great saccharine richness and being re-
produced from scc!, which in this variety
is well developed.
This is indeed news to the sugar
planter, and from botanical point Of
view confirms the theory that our pres
emit cultivated varieties are descended
from an original perfectly Towering
and seeding plant, the perpetuation Of
which by cuttings impaired In course Of
time the original attributes of the par
ent variety. The agricultural board
and local planters should take particular
note Of this reported discovery, and SO
also should the government botanist.
Such variety Of cane introduced in the
island would be worth millions of Tus-
ser silkworrns, and prove infinitely
more advantageous for its prosperity.
And it is to he hoped we shall soon hear
something more Of the Niger cane

A NARROW ESCAPE.
A Freight Car Overtakes Man on
the Track.

- ~'e'N wi ONS' NhNSo u Ntoi vi
the Track.
An exciting incident and narrow
escape from terrible death was wit
messed at Tempe yesterday morning,
and those who saw 1t were breathless
with terror.
When the train from Marlcopa
reached Tempe some time was taken up
in switching freight cars. Many OF the
passengers left the train and were
standing about the depot apd tracks
talking and taking observations.
Among them were two gentlemen from
the east, one of whom was standing on
a side track absorbed in conversation
with his friend. He failed to observe
the rapid approach OF box car until
1t had almost reached him. He had
sufficient presence OF mind to make no
attempt to get off the track, but turned
instantly to run down the track. He
was overtaken by the car and literally
showed along before it. He managed to
retain his feet, though twice he APP
peared to lose his balance, and then
spectators shuddered and held their
breath.
The car ut length slackened it's speed
and the lucky man was given time to
throw himself outside the rails.

TIE SUMMER COTTAGE.

It's Growth In Size aud In Importance
During Recent Years.
There have been signs that the in
stitution known as the summer hotel
has reached the height Of its popularity
and power in this country, and that its
continued progress is more likely to
slant down than up. The reason Is not
that city families are learning to spend
their summers at home, for they flock to
the lakes, the mountains and the sea-
shore in greater numbers than ever. but
0 smaller proportion Of them live in
hotels and considerably greater pro-
portion in cottages. At Bar Harbor
several of the largest hotels have re-
manned closed, not because the vogue Of
Mount Desert has waned, for it was
never so much the fashion, but chiefly
because the island is full of cottages and
the 'best people" live in them, thereby
damaging the hotels directly by the
loss of their own patronage, and in
directly by ccasing to serve them as
bait.
The tendency which is illustrated in
an exceptional degree at Bar Harbor is
generally noticeable in the majority OF
the summer places, and a natural and
commendable tendency it is. The part
of the population to which it is most es-
sential to get out Of town are the wom-
en- and children, and for them hotel life
even in the summer is decidedly a sec
ond best expedient. The American
hotel bred infant, with whom Mr.. Henry
James in the earlier years of his literary
industry helped to make the world ia
miliar, is a type which it is as well
should not survive outside of the fiction
of the last decade. Without admitting
that it ever was very prevalent type,
it is safe enough to assume that the
more American children are enabled to
substitute the atmosphere Of summer
home for the garish delights of sum.
mer hotel the better it will be for the
manners OF the rising generation.
OF course it is by no means a new
thing for rich Americans to have sum
mer homes. The growth of moss and
! ivy on scores of the Newport houses at.
test that. OF course, too, a summer cot
tage is a luxury, and Injuries are ever
prone TO make their first bows to the
people with the most money. Neverthe
less there are cottages and cottages, and
whenever families that have been used
to taking refuge in summer hotels once
make up their minds that they would
like cottage better there is no sound
financial reason why they should moi
eventually have one. The main diff
culties are to decide where it shall be
and to bring the falaily's mind to the
point of giving hostages to return to the
same place several summers in success
sion. For Of course, unless one is rich
enough to have an assortment Of scat
tered dwellings, it is an extravaganza
to build house unless he is going tC
occupy it or can rent it.
No doubt the possibilities Of vagrancy
in the summer hotel method constituted
originally one of its chief charms. Il
enabled people to try at least one new
place every year, and ascertain finally
where they preferred to go. But thi,
very quality in it has helped the devel

RETIRING FROM BUSINESS.
$4,000 Worth of Goods fol
Sale.
Dillon g. Kenealy Offer Rare Bar
gains to the People of the Salt
River Valley.

After due consideration we have final
ly decided to retire from business in
the city of Phoenix. This important
step we have fully discussed, and have
arrived al the conclusion TO close out
our business in this city in order that
we may be able to give our undivided
attention to our several interests in the
city and county Of Los Angeles. In
closing out this business we are aware
OF the fact that we are going to sacrifice
one of the largest and best assorted
stocks of dry goods, clothing, gents
furnishing goods, shoes and hats in the
city OF Phe nix. as well as the most sue
cessful and best established concerns in
the territory of Arizona.
During the past six months we have
had several applicants for the purchase
OF this business, but to dispose OF our
large and varied stock Of goods great
sacrifice of property is indispensable, and
we have therefore concluded that the
people Of the SaltRiver valley who have
80 steadily and literally given us their
trade and patronage during the past
nine years IN the city Of Phenix are
the best entitled to whatever sacrifice
we shall be compelled to make in dis
posing of our stock OF goods. On
Thursday and Friday of this week we
shall keep our store closed in order to
remark our entire stock OF dry goods,
clothing, mems furnishing goods, hats
and shoes for this great closing out sale.
1t is our intention to close out our
stock as quickly as possible. therefore
every article and piece OF goods in our
store shall be marked at invoice cost in
the eastern market. This is the most
genuine closing out sale of frst-class
goods ever offered to the people of the
Salt River valley. On Saturday Oct. 30
we shall commence the sale OF our large
and well assorted stock which will be
continued from day to day until all the
goods are disposed of. We respectfully
call the attention OF housekeepers,
hotel and restaurant proprietors, farm
ers, mechanics, miners and the general
public to this great sacrifice of first
class goods.
