In the Case of Czar-
 noWSki VS. Holland.
Bob Grigsby's Chickens Are at
 Last Terribly Avenged.
The UnSuStained Verdict of Jury in a Justices Court
 Year Ago.

Things went with whirI in district court yesterday and four jury cases were concluded in less than so many hours.
 One of considerable interest was the suit of Czarnowski vs. Holland, to re- cover $250, commission on a real estate deal which was never quite con- summated.
 Nearly two years ago the defendant listed with the plaintiff three lots on East Adams street for sale. The prlce put upon the property was $5,000. Within a short time the defendant found purchaser. ". T. Smith. The preliminary papers were executed and the purchaser paid $1 ,00O, the rest to be paid upon terms agreed upon.
 In the meantime the defendant was filled with regret and desired to evade the responsi bility he had assumed. His mother came in and claimed the her son to enter into any negotiation for the transfer of the property. A suit was begun to enforce the contract but was defeated or abandoned, the defendant acknowledging that he had listed the property for sale but claimed that the price understood or meant ty him was $5 900 for each lot instead If S5, 900 for the three.
 Suit was then begun by Czarnowski to collect his commission. The case was tried before Justice Johnstone, judgment was rendered for the defend ant and an appeal was taken.
 At the trial yesterday the court de- cided to strike out the contract that had existed between the parties on the ground that there YVES @ misapprehen- sion on the part of the defendant. The plaintiff wss permitted though to show
 the actual value of hls services in nego- tlating the transaction. He declined to do SO, but would rely, his attorney said, on the fact that the contract had been stricken out, thereby intimating that an appeal would be taken.
 The court then instructed the jury to
 find verdict for the defendant.
 Little Henry,' or Honest Henry,"
 the diminutive colored person who got
 confounded with Bob Grigsby's Buff
 Cochin chickens about a year ago. was convicted in three minutes by the court house clock. This was notable case in the criminal annals of Arizona. It was first tried before jury in 8 iustice''s court, and though Henry had pre-
 viously admitted his guilt and though
 all circumstances pointed unswerv- ingly to it, the jury disagreed. One of the jurvmen afterward , admitted the full double strength
 of the territory's case. "But,"
 said thls juryman. Little Henry
 denied the whole business and there we were, so what could we do?" At an- other trial he was convicted and an sp. peal was taken. He was released on f bail, but oscillated between his country residence and jail for 8 variety of ofen-
 ees. Ills last was larceny committed
 on COW.
 Henry is Democrat from way back, 5 of the Jacksonian stripe to whom as a victor belong the spells. During his residence in jail for lactomenia the late
 city election occurred and local Demo- cratic authority on election laws argued and proved that Henry though his l, home was outside the city limits, had acquired legal residence by reason of his frequent inhabitation of the county jail which is situated within the
 corporate limits. Henry was actually permitted to vote. He will be sent enced today and Bob Grigsby's chick ems will be avenged.
