WARMING UP.
Lawyers Take More than Pro-
 fessional Interest
In the Celebrated Land Case Now on Trial Before Justice
 Austin In Tempe.

There was not vacant seat in the court room yesterday morning when the constable formally announced court to be open. Jack Halburt, who was at the witness stand at the adjournment of court the day previous was again at the stand and the argument as to the admissibility of the case made by the directors of the Normal school to the Daggs Bros, was continued. In the heat of the argument Judge Campbell at times was greatly excited and it looked at one time as if Mickey" Stewart and the Ph9nicians mayor would come to blows.
 Judge Campbell in answering an argument of Judge Woodward's stated that "never have l heard such as- ininty expressed in court. They dare not go at the real facts of the case,' Mir. Stewart then rose and said "0h yes we dare do anything," to which Campbell replied by saying: "Oh yes I know you dare" Stewart replied ''Then we are both in the same category" From that on it became personal issue between the opposing counsel and the judge fearing that the dignity of the court would be lowered by personal encounter said: "If you gentleman want to fight we will ad- journ court for twenty minutes and go to the fighting" This remark of the judge caused counsel to somewhat quiet down and the argument was resumed.
 When both sides had finished their argument on this point and had asked the judge for an opinion he said: "What was all this argument about any how? When informed he re- marked; "Well, I don't know any thing about it, but will decide the best know how and the dissatisfied party can go to higher court, l overrule the objection"
 The minutes of the board and the opinion of Attorney-General Herring were then read by the witness, also the proceedings of the meeting held Febru- ary 24th, the day on which the Daggs brothers received their case; no new facts were brought out on the cross-ex- animation and the witness was ex- cused.
 W. A. Daggs and P. P. Daggs were the next witnesses called by the defence, but nothing except what had before been mentioned was elicted.
 Doc Dimes, the next witness, proved 6 stumbling block for the plaintiffs, and for once Mir. Campbell made mis- take in sizing up his man on cross- examination. for Tn place of Doc Dimes being common sheep herder he is a bright and intelligent man, being a graduate of an eastern college, notwith- standing he has been foreman over the Daggs Bros., sheep ranches, the past ten years.
 Dimes evidence closed the case for the defence, and both sides were now ready to go to the jury on their final srgu- ments.
 Judge Woodward was the first to speak, and he cited many decisions of the United States supreme court which tended to prove his side of the case. His argument lasted over an hour and was closely followed by every man in the court room.
 Mr. Kingsbury then took his inning and read to the jury law as he understood it. Fully half hour was consumed by him in this way and at the close of his summing up court adjourned until 9 o'clock this morning. As Judge Campbell and Hon. w. q. Stewart will close the case some interesting events are looked for and the court room will be crowded to its utmost capacity.
