i wlerd and extraordinary than that of the "jackus" which according to Judge Buck WAS variously "burro" and a ''mewl." The judge IS evidently not good ornithologist.
 The stallion was an animal of aliases. In Kentucky he was known as Norfolk. Like many two-footed residents of the territory he had found it convenient to change his name and rejoiced during his residence in the Salt River valley in the cognomen of Bay Billy.
 Such incidents of his career have cropped out during the trial were as follows:
 As the sequence of a long life of shame he had been afflicted by name- less disease which was believed by MT. Linville, the owner, to be incurable. Most of the veterinary surgeons in the valley had given the case up as hope less. An arrangement concerning the terms, of which there is difference of testimony, was entered into between the plaintiff and the defendant under which the plaintiff took charge of the dissipated old charger and began treating him. The result was only semi-satisfactory. The more virulent symptoms of the disorder, 1t is true, were removed. For instance an old extensive and sickening sore was so nearly healed that as the testimony showed, lit wasn't as big as half dollar; well, somewhere between half dollar and two bits;" probably, in fact, if the facts had been sufficiently developed, the unhealed sore would have been shown to be about the size of h irtu -fuo hIo reminiscence of the disease finally passed away, but during the process of the cure such 8 sweeping structural change had occurred that Norfolk was practically valueless. He was traded to MT. Tompkinson. in whose posses sion he died, for gray mare. The gray mare was exchanged for mare and colt and some Indians appearing on the scene proved ownership of the mare and colt.
 "Sic transerunt equus ct asinus," which means, That's the way Norfolk and the jackass passed over the range."
 The defendants cross bill is based on an alleged agreement under which he was to receive $50 as the proceeds of the experiment upon the stallion.
 The arguments were lengthy and con- sisted largely of repartee in which MT. McGinn established superiority. Re- torting to statement by Judge Buck that the defense had been extremely liberal to the plaintiff in the matter of admitting his testimony, MT. McGinn replied: "Your iberality is of the kind that kills hog every year and gives the ears and bristles for the relief of poverty"
 The jury gave the defendant $1. The verdict seems inconsistent with the evidence. The plaintiff ought cer- tainly to have received the amount sued for or else he should have been decreed to pay the whole claim of the defendant. AS it is the claims of both or neither party have been recognized. The Seventh Day Adventist Church
 The Seventh Day Adventists of Pho- nix are considering the matter of build ing 8 church. The mem bership is about thirty and it received great i'm petus during the recent minlstration of Elder Bartlett. One of the leading members of the church here is Prof. c. D. M. William, professor of Natural Science at Healdsburg college, Healds- burg, Cal. During several months of the year he lives with his family on a pleasant farm a short distance east of this city. He IS expected here soon so definite action as to the new church will not he taken until he comes
