A CONFLICT.
The Re-districting Bill Turns Out to be in Conflict with
 the U. $. Statutes.

It was not until Judge Kibbey called the attention of the judiciary committee of the council to the U. $. Statutes on redistricting that it was discovered that the power to name the places at which courts shall be held was taken away from the legislature and placed with the judges. The act in which this power is given or taken away is that of Feb. llth. 1891, by which the fourth district was formed and fourth judge isppointed for this territory. It wss
 ter this that ihe committee having the redistricting bill in charge met and agreed to report the bill by . unanimous vote that "It do not pass." A substitute for the bill was prepared by Shannon of Graham county, and was to have been introduced today, in which he would seek to again be an- nsxed to Pima county the same as it formerly was and the southern dis trict, comprise Cochise, Graham and Pima. This substitute would have been voted down.
 Another substitute was to have been introduced by Cheyney provld- ing that the present arrangement of districts be continued, winch would keep Cochise and Pima still together, but Tombstone to be named as the place for holding the U. $. court in- stead of Tuc.on, as now. This sub stitute would have passed the Council and assura-ces of its passage through the House were given. This plan was totally wrecked by the unfortu- note clause in the act of 1891, and was oi course abandoned The pres ent piar is. to s"~r -. ~ the bill as it passed the House, amend it by strik- ing out the parts naming the place of holding courts and leaving that for the judges to determine for them selves.
 This would place Cechise and Gra- ham in one district, and it logically follows that either Tombstone or Sol- omonville will be named as the place of holding court, with chances favor ing the former. This bill would have to go back to the House for concur renee.
 The PResPEcToR is able to state that this blll cannot pass the Council, but vote will be taken on 1t If pos- sible today simply to place the mem- bers on record.

A LIVELY TIME.
A Deputy Marshal and a Dep uty Sheriff Cause Coaster nation in Judge Dun
 cans Court.

The examin ation of the three Mexi- cans charged with smuggling occurred before Judge Duncan On Saturday, and those wno failed to be there missed c treat.
 Deputy U. s. Marshal Shilliam went to the county jail to get the three Msxicans and escort them to the court room. Deputy Charley Bradley was there and not knowing by what authority Shillism asked for the men he refused to give them up until the jailor should arrive. shillism grew abusive and questioned Bradley's right to hold the prisoners at all, when General Wardwsll came in and sought to pour oil upon the troubled waters, but received . tongue flashing from Shilliam for his interference. After Bradley found out who Shilliam was he gave the Mexicans to him, and ap- parently the war was over, but it was not.
 Jailor Ritchie. who is the self con- stituted father of everything that ex- ists around the court house. did not relish the action of the U. s. deputy, and went immediately to the court room to ask for. an explanation. The court was in ssssion and Shilliam was in court.
 Ritchie went straight to him and asked for an explanation. shilliam waved him s6 with his hands, saying he wanted nothing to de with him, ct the same time making motionwith his right hand toward his pocket. Ritcbis did not wait any further de- velSpmeuts, but pulled his Colts and began to jsb Shillism in the stomach. The latter retreatsd as rapidly as the jabs came.
 The court was in an uproar, which lasted until Ritcbie concluded te stop iabbing, No serious damage was done beside few bruises on Shilliam's bedy, although there is . runner ahoat that the end is not yet.

Preve.tsnx Future Misery.

If there is in this vale of tears a more prolific source of misery than the rheumatic twinge. we have yet to hear of it.

As sosn e the agonizing com plaint manifests itself, recourse should bs had to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which cheeks its further inreads and 'bsnishes the rheumatic poison from the system.

IN SELF DEFENSE.
John Riley Kills Jim Easily, a COlOred Soldier at the Hua-
 chuca Hog Ranch.

John Reilly, proprietor of the Hog Ranch just of the reservation at Fort Huachuca. came in town Sunday morning and gave himself into the charge of Constable Frank Broad, saying that he had killed a man there in self defense. He was placed in the county jail.
 Coroner Koska held an inquest on the remains of the man Riley said he had killed, and the result was that the jury brought in a verdict of justifiable homicide. The testimony of eye witnesse. co the affair proved ths. de ceased fired several shots before Riley fired.
 Easily and a companion named Crawford were down at the ranch and were under the influence of liquor. They both had guns. There was nothing iu the testimony to show how the quarrel began, but Easily covered Riley, who was behind the bar, with his pistol. Riley told him to put up his gun, but he refused to do so, at the same time backing away until he reached the hall, when he began firing. The first two shots struck the bar, the balance going wide of the mark,
 After he had fired three CT four shots Riley began shooting. As to how many shots were fired no two witnesses can tell the same story. One says sixteen and another nine. Of these shots three took effect in Easly's body in the region of the chest. The fatal one entered the left breast and came out through the back. Easily went out back, fell and expired short = ly afterward. He was negro, aged 8 years, and private in Co. c. 24th Infantry. -
 The body was tu-.nnea over to the authorities at Huschuca, where it was buried today.
 Riley's examination was set for this afternoon at Justice Ko.ka's court, when additional evidence was expect ed to be brought out.

representatives were on hand. Judge Baker cited two authorities on the subject. Allen English ststed that their side was unable to find anything bearing upon the point, and at length maintained that the writ was . good one, basing his argument upon the statute entirely.
 He was followed by Mir. Baker, who argued that the writ was absolutely void, as Justice Sloan expressly made the writ returnable to himself ss asso- ciste justice and not to a court.
 Judge Stilwell spoke at length in support of the writ. He was followed by Judge Campbell, who presented a strong argument against any further proceedings under the writ.
 Judge Sloan went over the matter thoroughly, and sustaired the objec- ton of Messrs. Baker & Campbell and dissolved the writ.
 Judge Stilwell arose and called the attention o! the cour: ts the fact that Judge Sloan was to blame for the writ being void. "I called the attention of Judge Sloan," said he, "to the wrong position he was taking when he issued the writ. At that time I went over to his side. now he has come oyer to my side"
 Judge Sloan replied: "I take the entire blame for the error upon my shoulders, but the result only goes to show that when undue haste is made in such matters we are any of us liable to make mistakes"
 Judge Sloan stated that the ceart would adjourn today.
 The next move to be made by Messrs. McAllister and Mnnmonier was outlined in open court when Judge Sloan intimated tha. a writ re- turnable in June would probably be the proper caper.
 Some talk of a writ returnable to the distritt court in Tucson this week was also made, but nothing was done on Saturday although some plan will be arranged in Phoenix today.

DON'T HURRY.
As a Result of Undue Haste Writ of Mandamus is Thrown Out of
 Court.

W. H. Stilwsll at Tucson on March 31st went before Judge Sloan and procured e writ Of mandamus compel ling Chairman Perkins and Clerk Hawke of the board of supervisors to recognize J. P. McAllister as a mem- Der of the board, or to appear at Phoenix on Saturday, April sth, ard show cause why they had not done so. The board met on Monday, transacted its business before Thursday noon, sd- journsd until July lst and did not recognize MT. McAllister.
 On Saturday last Messrs Perkins and Hawke .'ppeared at the Supreme Court room to show cause why they had not recognized Mir. MsAIlistsr. They were represented by Baker & Campbell of Phoenix, who were made acquainted with the case an hour be- fore the court convened. The plaint- ifi, MT. McAllister, was represented by Messrs. English, Stilwell and Land ot Tembstone.
 The case had attracted considerable attention and many members of the bar of Maricopa county were present. Mir. Baker, on behalf of the Board, stated the facts Of its attorneys being unable to be present, MT. Heney being iD Washington and Col. Herring in Sonora, that he had not been able to prepare himself on the case or acquaint himself with the facts. W. H. Still we'll strongly objected to any further time being granted the Bsari in which to answer.
 Before the court had time to say anything on that point MT. Baker was on his feet and without asking for further time sailed into the writ and ripped it up into shreds. He took the opposition by surprise, and the court after hearing MT. Stilwell on the other side adjourned ull l 30 to give counsel an opportunity to pro duce authorities.

THE IRON HALL.
What Delegate Fernald Has To Say on the
Matter.

Mr.. N. S. Fernald, of this city, dele
gate to the Supreme Sitting of the Order
of the Iron Hall at indianapolis, Indiana.
and, as delegate, representing Maine,
New Hampshire and Vermont, returned
home Monday.
Mr.. Fernald says that it rests entirely
with the members of the order, indivi-
dually, whether the Order shall be con-
tinued, and that all who desire that it
shall be have now an opportunity to ex-
press their wishes by paying a per capita
tax and signing petition to that effect
directed to the Courts at Indianapolis.
The laws of the Order have been
amended SO that no member can draw
more than four weeks benefit in any one
year, and changes made so as to restrict
materially the power of the Supreme
Chief Justice, dividing a great deal of
this power among the officers and COM
mittee, the committee to consist of one
member from every state from Maine to
Florida.
Mr.. Fernald says that the Order is not
insolvent, that it is possessed of several
millions of dollars in the hands of the
receivers. One branch of the Order in
this city alone holds certificates of the
value of more than $276,000.
