Chief Justice Baker Is
sues the Writ.
The Prisoners Will Be
Here Tomorrow.
The Second Contempt Hearing
at Tucson Yesterday.
Unusual Character OF the Petition
for the Writ Which Risked Every
thing on its Issue.

A writ Of habeas corpus in the Dun
bar-Barnes case was issued yesterday
by Chief Justice Baker and was made
returnable tomorrow afternoon at two
O'Clock. As has been stated, applica-
ton was made for the writ on the
grounds first, that the contempt alleged
was only constructive and that the pro-
cedure against the defendants was in
formal. They will be brought from
Tucson tomorrow morning.
The action of the chief Justice has
been awaited with a great deal of in
terest, both by the friends of the gen.
tlemen in contempt, and by lawyers,
who were, however, generally OF the
opinion that the writ would be issued.
Application might have been made to
either of the associate justices of the
territory and they could have issued
though perhaps not with that of long
line of presidents. Interference with
the Jurisdiction of coordinate court,
in contempt cases, in which the power
of the court is discretionary, is provided
for in many cases, among which is that
of case in which it may appear that
the discretion of the court has been
abused, as has been alleged in one
of the grounds on which the ap-
plication was based in this case, that
the contempt was only constr uctive and
not real.
Coordinate courts, however. are usu-
ally moved by question OF propriety or
judicial courtesy, which may defeat the
the purpose of the law. In this case,
however, the action before the chief
justice, in his capacity as such, and not
that of coordinate court, the matter
is Invested of any question of propriety
or courtesy, and is given something of
the character of an appeal from court
of inferior jurisdiction.
The petition for the writ was unusual,
being based upon the entire record of
the proceedings which was made part
OF it. 1t was prepared by Judge Israel,
who chose to risk the issue upon the
chief Justices examination of it rather
than upon the usual hearing on the re-
turn of the writ. Its presentation made
by Judge Kibbey was particularly able
one and produced many expressions OF
compliment from the court and bar.
The hearing of Messrs. Dunba and
King in the contempt case growing out
of the publication of the newspaper
comments was to take place at Tucson
yesterday. The commitment of both
was confidently predicted by their
friends. 1t was also expected that Mr..
McClintock would be formally dis
charged yesterday.
The Gazette's editorial and reportorial
forces have been receiving hourly &C.
cessions and on the last count num-
bered forty-two. A great deal of the
matter prepared yesterday will not ap-
pear in cold type, not because it is
wanting in merit or interest, but be-
cause there was no room for it.

NIGER WELLS.
A Mythical Location With a History
of Disaster.

of Disaster.
On the old Wickenburg stage road,
between Morgan City and the Vulture
mine, not far from the place where the
famous Gribble murder took place and
the big bar OF gold was captured by the
robbers, on the barren desert is a
mythical location with history of dis
aster, called Niger Wells, but how the
name originated is conundrum to the
travelling public, who pass the spot in
lum bering stage and see signs of a
well, while from the topography of the
country it looks as though it would, be
at least 1000 feet to water, if such lux.
ury is even possible to be obtained at
all.
Recently a gentleman was travelling
over the line in company with an old
timer and the history of the christen7
ing of this spot in the desert was Oh
tanned. Several years ago, when the
travel over the road was heavy and the
Vulture was running in full blast,
teamsters were very much inconven-
fenced by being compelled to haul wa
ter from McGinnis' station or even
greater distance, to enable them to
cross this waterless tract, and syndi-
cate was formed to sink a well, with a
hope that an intermediate station might
be established. An accident, however,
which cost a colored man his life, put
sudden stop to the work. While draw.
ing up the dirt heavy plank was care
lessly let fall into the well and it des-
cended on the mans skull with suffi-
= cient force to mash his skull. A man
went down and found that he was dead,
after which consultation was held and
they decided to save funeral expenses
by filling the we'll with dirt, thereby
burying the body so deep that Gabriel's
blast will hardly jar on his tympanum.
Another effort was made later on to
sink we'll some little distance from
the scene of the disaster, when two
other negroes met a similar fate. In
dams in those days sometimes passed
through that section and while the
men were working they were attacked
by a band of Apaches and one of their
number killed. The Indians threw the
dead body in the we'll and it fell on the
head of the man below, breaking his
neck. This well, too, was partially
filled and the enterprise was abandoned.

HE NEVER CAME BACK.
A Deep Laid Scheme which Didn't
"Gang Agley."

An honest, Swedish looking chap of
about 80, dressed in the rough clothes
of rancher, walked into Ham brook &
Schorr's furniture store yesterday
morning and gladdened Mr.. Ham
brooks heart by placing an order of
goods for the amount of about $50. He
said his place was about four miles
from town near the ranch of Col.
Christy, that he was fixing up the
house little and that his wife would
be in with the team at about II o'clock
with the money when he would either
pay for the goods in advance or would
pay for them upon delivery.
Mr.. Hambroo informed him that
payment upon delivery would be salts
factory, and the customer was about to
depart when suddenly as if it had just
occurred to him he said:
Could you let me have dollar to
make few purchases until my wife
comes in?
"Whv certainly" said the confding
furniture man, as he handed over one
Of the round shiny idols of the van
pushed senatorial minority.
The honest looking rancher took it
with thanks and hasn't been seen
since.

Missouri Reunion.

A call was issued recently for a meet
ing to organize Missouri society. The
meeting was held last evening and three
men were present, two of these from
The REPUBLICAN force. Bylaws were
adopted, making any one who has ever
slept on Missouri soil eligible and the
day following Thanksgiving was set for
general reunion. While but three
men have yet been found, they con-
cluded that by liberal advertising others,
whose nativity has not yet been estab-
lished, might be found in the territory
who could come in the organization,
which is to be permanent. Will Spear,
of THE REPUBLICAN,, was elected presi-
dent, and Pat King secretary, while the
other fellow holds the position of treas
urer and orator of the day.

In a Few Weeks the Electric
Car Line will be Extended
Westward.

1t is the experience of all cities which
have attained considerable growth in a
short time, that the districts which
have increased in population most
rapidly are those which have been
made accessible by extension OF street
car lines.
Look at Denver.
Think of Los Angeles.
Mention any large city of rapid and
recent growth and you are confronted
at once with the same old story. In
all you will find beautiful suburban res
idence districts wherein now the best
people OF the town have their homes,
where the hborhood is all that is
desirable where the churches and
schools are new.
You will be told in every instance
that this district was few years ago an
uninha bited tract. You will beinformed
that the car lines were extended to in
clude it, that people began to buy and
to build at first perhaps slowly, then
with rush.
Thus it will surely be in Phoenix.
The Capitol and Collins additions are
within few weeks to be included in
the route of the electric car line. The
material for constructing the road has
been purchased by Gen. M. H. Sher-
man. 1t will be shipped here in a few
bdavs. Work will be Immediately be-
gun and continued until the road is
finished and the cars running.
The clang of the bell and the whirr
OF the electric car has been objected to
by few persons, whose nerves are
sensitive and whose delicate physical
organizations have been disturbed and
wrought up by what such importunates
consider rude discordance. To the for
tunate possessor of lot in one of these
additions, the sound which heralds the
advent of the first electric car, will be
as of sweet music. Beethoven's Pastor
al symphony by Theodore Thomas
orchestra could not be more soothing
to his spirit. He already hears the
jangling of the coin OF profit as it
mingles harmoniously with the bells
of the swift moving harbinger of pros
perity propelled by the mystic power
which Franklin first drew captive from
the clouds.
The extension is coming. surely, COM
ing quickly. Those who buy lots, now
will as surely reap magnificent returns
upon their investment.

ANEW LITERARY SOCIETY.
The Phoenix Lyceum Launches upor
its Career.

its Career.
The Phoenix Lyceum, new literary
and musical society which has just been
organized, for the purpose of entertain
ment and culture, is the latest candidate
for popular favor in the line of amuse-
ments. Its object is to present to the
public monthly entertainment of a
character which will merit nothing but
the highest commentator. 1t mum bers
among its many members the best
talent and the most active workers
in Phoenix literary and musical
circles. Nor is it intended to slight the
dramatic art, and few OF the most
popular dramatic gems will find ex-
preston under the efforts of this literary
pioneer.
An elaborate programme is under
preparation for Thanksgiving night,
and it is safe to say that this initial
effort will be surpassed by none that
has ever been witnessed in the city.
Among its special features may be men
toned character impersonation, in
costume, by Miss Gertrude McMullen,
who needs no other recommendation
than the mention of her name dialect
recitation, by Mr.. Cherry; vocal
selection, by the Lvceum Quartette.
Mrs. J. E. Phillips. who points to an
enviable record In Philadelphia literary
work, will render Macanlay's "Virgin-
ins," in costume. The first appearance
in this city OF the celebrated child artist,
Miss Minnie Gieger, who has already
won reputation for mandolin touches,
will besgreeted by popular appreciation.
This does not complete the list. but in
dicates the general tenor of the pro-
gramme. A full lat will appear later
on.
The officers are experienced IN this
line of work. The president, Mr.. W.
G. Steele, who will preside for the first
term, is we'll known for his connection
with the Denver Dramatic Club of Colo
RADIO. Mrs. J. E. Phillips, as vice-pres
ident is an able and energetic second to
the president. Mrs e. Myrtle Steele sec.
rotary and treasurer. will transact the
duties of her Office with the same genial
courtesy which has won for her an
enviable reputation as society favor
lite. A crowded house awaits the
advent of the initial entertainment
which will occur at the opera house on
Thanksgiving evening.

and somnolence. The culprits were
Mexican and Yaqui Indian. They
took three days each. The only inter-
esting part of the cases was the effects
taken from the prisoners, one of whom,
the Yaqui, was relieved of fat-iron,
a belt, can of baking powder, case
knife and string of gaudy beads. The
Mexican was plainly dressed, with
small purse that contained 10 cents, or
sufficient to have purchased two more
glasses of beer, which would probably
have changed the class of his case no
doubt, had be been allowed to complete
his spree, which usually ends after
money is all gone and sufficient time
has elapsed to taper off the jag by
means of total abstinence.
