MADAME POWERS SAFE.
A Jury Decides That She Is Not Run
 ming a House of Ill-Fame

The trial of Minnie Powers, charged with keeping house of iE-fame within the 400-yard limit, was concluded yes terday afternoon in Justice John stones court. The prosecution had all it's evidence in the preceding day and yesterday morning the witnesses for the defense took the stand.
 The case had attracted great deal of attention for the court room was damned with interested spectators throughout the trial, for case of this character is always interesting to some people.
 The prosecution presented nineteen witnesses, a few being resident mem bers of the grand jury which had called attention to the violation of the 400 yard limit. These jurors, and in fact, all the witnesses for the prosecution, could not state positively that the place was being maintained as an designation house The general reputation of the house, they were willing to concede was one of that character, but of their own knowledge and belief could not swear that it was.
 The defense introduced sixteen wit nesses, most of them people who re- side in the locality of the Louvre, D and all of reputable character. These witnesses all said that the former rep utation of the house was well known, but that since the council had rele- gated the women of loose morals to the reservation known as block fl they had not noticed anything wrong with the place. The place appeared to them what it purports to be, lodging house, and they had seen no evidence that the place was being conducted for i'm moral purposes.
 Madame Powers indignantly denied that the place was an assignation house and that she had been running a lodging house with a beer garden in conjunction.
 The jury after being out fifteen min utes returned with verdict of not guilty. The house in question is situ- ated on the corner of First and Van Buren streets and within 8 stones throw of the Central school building. For years it has borne a reputation anything but savory. A few years ago the legislature passed a law making it stringent offense to run a house of il-fame within 400 yards of a school house. Then the houses of ill-repute had ito move somewhere else.

MOLLOY GETS HIS CASH.
Judge Baker Decides Against the City
 Council.

In 1889 the common council passed an ordinance providing in terms that the city marshal should receive a sal ary of SIP month for all his services, which at that time included the offices of city assessor, tax collector, street commissioner and poundmaster.
 This ordinance has never been changed and under it every marshal, including the present incumbent, has received S125 a month, with the sole exception of MT Molloy.
 Prior to the time Molloy was elected to office the duties of assessor and tax collector had by legislature enacted al two different times, been separated from the office of city marshal.
 Molloy was elected and entered upon his term of office May g, 1894, and served in the same until May Il, 1895 performing these duties in connection herewith of street comm ssioner and poundmaster, but not finding favor in the eyes of the councilmen they sue ceeded in keeping back $25 each month of his lawful salary. It was in evi- dence that he kicked as only Molloy can kick, but of no avail. Finally in October he employed Judge Woodward to right his wrongs.
 The judge went before the present council and explained the law of the case to them. They offered him s10( as a compromise This he refused stating that Molloy as not a mendicant that his client was entitled to his entire salary, $500 of which still remained unpaid, or he was not entitled to any, thing.
 In the trial before Justice Johnstont Molloy was winner and the city ap- pealed the case to the district court and which came up for trial yesterday Judge Baker in an exhaustive opinion decided in favor of Molloy.
 i The council had by resolution cu Moloy's salary to $1OO per month the resolution was spread on the min. utes of the council, but that was all The court held that in order to make

ground-and that he had been immed-- ately cremated.
 The Indians pointed to a dying fire as evidence of the fact. After the judge and jury had examined the coals and ashes and discovered in them sey- eral human bones, they returned to the court house and rendered verdict in accordance with the above facts,
 It was at this stage of the proceed ing that the justice of the peace dis covered that the murder had been done on the military reservation and at once discharged West, giving as his reason for doing so that it was a United States case and that he had no jurisdiction in the matter.
 Court Commissioner Masterson is sued a warrant for Vests arrest and he now is in jail awaiting a hearing before United States Attorney B. B. Ellinwood of Tucson, who is expected here Monday.
 From the evidence taken at the cor oner's inquest it was shown that West had been selling the Indians whisky for some time and when the Indian met with the injuries that caused his death he was drunk and wanted West to give him more whisky and on the latter's refsal he became ugly, and West fearing for his life, grasped the cordwood stick and dealt the Indian many blows over the head with the above results.

Don't forget that Mrray's is "the' place of Phoenix to eat.
 No mystery about it. Whhen the Shakers offered some time ago to give away bottle of their Digestive Cordial ito any one who might call at their New York office, there was a rush and a great many people thought they were crazy.
 Subsequent events prove it Ito have been a very clever advertising trans action, for although they gave away thousands of bottles, it was in the end profitable; nearly every one that took free bottle came back for more and paid for it with pleasure, saying they fhad derived better results from it's use than from any other medicine they had ever used.
 There is nothing So uniformly sue cessful in the treatment of stomach troubles as the Shaker Digestive Cor dial, and what is better than all, it re- lieves at once.

A YOUNG CORRESPONDENT.
Selected to Represent Phoenix in tht
 Christmas Examiner.

There were lively times at the high school yesterday morning. Around the yard and in the school rooms were little knots of eager students, all with a single predominating subject-the se- lection of a representative for the Phoenix schools upon the 4staff of the Christmas Examiner. On converting a formal election was held, the com petitors for the position being Miss Coombs, Miss Meagher, Miss Clanton, Miss Dysart, Harry Logan, George Quinan and Lloyd Damron. The last named was successful by a handsome plurality of the votes. He was called forward and made proper acknowledg- ment to his schoolmates of his obliga- ton for the compliment conferred.
 Master Damron is by his teachers given the highest of praise for ability in school work, and especially in con- position and rhetoric, and there can be no doubt that in his hands the work will be well performed.

PATRoNlze HOWE INSTITUTIONS
From the Northneld News

The colleges of Vermont are fully ca
pahle of furnishing her young men and
women liberal aud abundant education.
with this fact beyond argument, it be-
comes the duty of parents and school di-
rectors to do all possible to persuade
those who purpose to continue their edu-
cation beyond the high schools aud acad-
emics to seek such liberal instruction in
the State where the first and higher rudi-
ments are obtained. Placed upon sound
business principle, home industries should
be patronizcd; placed upon the larger
plane of patriotism, the higher educa
tiOual institutions Of Vermont should be
sought for liberal education. Vermont
ers educated in college in their own
state have less dangerous temptations to
resist, less that is undesirable to unlearn
after their college DAYS are over. if they
really desire to he true men and women:
and in their future life no matter where
they may cast their lot they are more pa
triOtic to their own State than is possible
to those whose higher education is at
tanned outside their own home further
more 1t has been demonstrated times
without number that the graduates of
our Vermont colleges are the peers of
the college men of any institution
