effect that the forest fires have reached
the Watson farm in Forest county and
several oil wells are now burning. The

feared the fire viii spread to adjoining
oil property. There are no indications OF
rain and should the wind rise it would

More GiIa Bend Canal Litigation
 Under Way.
 Another turn was taken yesterday in the affairs of the Gila Bend Reservoir and Irrigation company by the filing of suit with the following extensive title W. II. Linn and Charles B. King, executors of the will of Charles P. King, William M. Benton, J. N. Gift, William Mclean ct als, severally for themselves and all other creditors vs. The Gila Bend Reservoir and Irrigation company, the Arizona Construction company, the Peoria Canal company, Jos. B. Greenhut, Jno. H. Francis, c. E. Crowley, Redmond Toohey, Jno. c. Wynd and J. M. Bur nett.
 The plaintiffs allege among other things that money WAS advanced by them to the Arizona Construction com pany, now insolvent; that this company and the Gila Bend com pany constitute 8 new corporation known as the Peoria Canal company and that these com panies in June 1893 entered into an agreement for the adjustment of theil affairs. The plaintiffs allege that they were not parties to the agreement whose effect is to tie up the assets O. the construction company so that creditors cannot reach them and they claim that they are not bound by this agreement.
 This is the last of series of suits in stituted by persons friendly to the Arizona Construction company, de signed to freeze out the Gila Bend com panv.
 The same object WAS sought two or three weeks ago by these same person: in an attempt to intervene in sui pending between the Peoria Canal com pany and the Gila Bend company.
 The probable result of this litigation i if it goes on will be to reopen the ole disputes existing between the Peoris and Gila Bend companies Tn which ex tensive frauds on the part of the Con struction company are alleged. The suit is regarded as continuation of an attempt by the Peoria capitalist to force the Arizona people to the wall

The End, Verdict and All Is Now in
 Sight
 The testimony in the Sortillon mur- der case was concluded last night and the pleadings will begin this morning.
 The witnesses for the prosecution yes- terdav were Maha, the mother of Guerra. the mother of the murdered baha, Bill Bush and Jerry, Mohave h. dians, Pedro Aguero, Jose Ruiz, M. Greenleaf, Mackey and Drummond.
 For the defense there were Calvert Wilson, Mrs. Muzzy, Wm. Baer, W. H.. Elliott, the defendant Sortillon, Court Reporter Weed and A. Franks. The general testimony though not so exten- sive as at the former trial was much the same; at least it failed to throw any additional light upon the murder.
 The story of the Indians was remark able in one respect. It corroborated Guerra's account of the murder, but only upon that point was there unan- unity. Upon other incidents they were contradictory, evidently showing that they had agreed upon that one feature of the case and had wholly neglected 8 concerted story upon all i the others.
 i Ali the other witnesses testified in substance as they had done at the for mer trial.
 SortiIlon's testimony delivered in broken English and multiplicity of gestures was contradiction of Guerra $ story at every essential point. The case will reach the jury today.

 Jno. Thomas and Thos. H. Jones, two miners from Victor, arrived in Altman on their way to Cripple Greek today. They were suspected of being non- Union men and notwithstanding their protests that they were not, they were set upon by the strikers, knocked down and given a severe beating. Several shots were fired at them.
 Thomas finally escaped and made his way into town. When he arrived here he was exhausted. He had five bad scalp wounds and depression of skull. Jones is still missing and it is feared he is lying in some secluded place dead or seriously injured.

THREATENED BY HIGH BINDERS

Charley Sam in Disfavor Among
 Ills Indignant Countrymen.
 Charley Sam, the Chinese proprietor of the Reception restaurant, is in dis favor among his countrymen and he is terrified by highbinders' threats against his life.
 He was a witness in the recent snug gling cases and the Chinese believe that his testimony was damaging.
 On Wednesday word was brought him by friend that he was to be assassin ated in his restaurant some time be- tween half past six and seven o'clock in the evening. Later he received a formidable summons to appear at g o'clock at Quong Yu's store. The mat ter came to the notice of the authori- ties and under their secret protection he decided to obey the summons.
 The murder, if it was seriously con- templated, was deferred and Charley was given a chance to square himself by having the testimony taken from the stenographer's notes translated into Chinese for their inspection. He also saw United States District Attorney Ellinwood, who made an ap- pointment to meet delegation of fifty Chinese last night and clear Charley oi the charge against him. MT. Ellinwood says that Charley was not only not 8 damaging witness to the accused snug glers but was such an unwilling wit ness that he was worthless to the government. IL was necessary to dis: charge him and substitute Joe Holland to make out the case.

WASHINGTON. May 24.-Representa- tives of the Central Pacific company appeared before the house committee on Pacific railways today 10 give their views on the Pacific railroad bill intro duced by Mir. Riley of Pennsylvania. President Huntington spoke of the diff culties encountered in organizing and building the road. The impression that the builders had been made rich was erroneous. When the road was com pleted there were no government bonds left but many debts. The company always managed to keep it's credit good. Shares had been sold from 75 to 80 to pay the debts and Wells-Fargo company had been paid $1,500,000 for carrying the mails and the Central Pacific re- ceiyed but $400,000.

United States District Attorney FL linwood has made an excellent fight, but there is an impression among spectators who attended both trials that the governments witnesses have weakened, a circumstance due to the varied character of the Indian testi- mony. It is not believed that the de- fendant will be convicted. Were the case stronger against him, but, still not absolutely dead against him, one thing would tend to operate in his favor, and that is that under the United States law there is no middle ground. He must either be acquitted or found guilty of crime the penalty for which is capital.

By the Associated Press.
 WASHINGTON. May 24.-The senate bribery investigation committee has sent the testimony taken in the first part of it's inquiry relating to the at tempted bribery of Senators Kyle and Hunton to the printer and expects to re- port to the senate within few days the result of it's investigation. It is understood that the report will en- tirely exonerate Senators Hunton and Kyle in the matter.
 The committee today began secret inquiry into the connection of the sugar trust with tariff legislation. E. D. Edwards WAS examined. He claimed that Secretary Carlisle had appeared before the tariff subcommittee and in- sisted that sugar be given protection because of party pledges made before the election. Edwards also asserted that the sugar trust had given $500,000 to the Democratic campaign fund in 1892, or to the Democratic organiza- tions and that Moore & Pelly, Senator Brice's brokers, were in possession of the latest amendments to the tariff bill when Senator Voorhees, sad no amend ments had been agreed to. The cen tributions to Democratic funds were on the understanding that sugar would be protected. Edwards said the sugar trust perhaps did not give the money as trust, but as individual mem mbers made the contributions.
 MT. Edwards sad his first intimation of MT. Havemeyer's interest in the tariff legislation had been received from an interview with that gentleman pub lished in the Brooklyn Eagle last January, in which MT. HavemeveI is reported to have said: "We are not without influence in the senate and the tariff bill will be looked after when it reaches there."

 The Temps says it is not so much the Anglo Congo treaty as the fact that England wishes to establish buffer state between the eventful possessions of France and Great Britain in Central America, following the example of the Siamese buffer state. According to the Temps there is danger also that Eng land will ultimately absorb the upper Nile region.
