restrictions made by the expected

Marshal Meade says the story that
Frank Heney was seeking judgeship
here is utterly absurd. Mr.. Heney, he
says, was once urged II make al APP
plicatiOn FOR the position, when his
chances would have been brightest for
getting it. He refused, however, his
private practice being much better.
Mr.. Meade says, Mr.. Heney's law prac-
tice Is good for $4,000 year upwarde.
Cattle prices, says Stockman Thomas
Driscoll, will probably be no higher this
fall than usual, as might have been eX-
pected in view Of the late big losses.
He says one or two states or territories
might lose all their cattle without af-
fecting TO any extent the prices. He
also says cattle will oe fat in another
NORTH or six weeks. The calf crop in
Pima county is light this year.
Once again delays have been under
gone by the Southern Pacific passenger
service. Last nights rain was very
heavy to the eastward, on the water
sheds Of the Rillito, and in consequence
that erratlc stream took another sudden
rise. The result was the taking away
Of ninety feet of track at the twin
bridges" near Red R2ck the approaches,
cribbed up after former washouts, being
taken out. The passenger train, due
here at this morning, was kept there
till noon today. Laborers were put at
work of repairing as soon as the water
permitted. The passenger train from
the east staid in Tucson this morning.
