He Gets It in on the People of Pres
 colt.
 Manager Charles Canal. of the Flagstaff Baseball club is hot. The heat that melts the little cclluloid article which he uses to keep his collar attached to the ncckb band of his shirt is only equalled by the warmth which permeates the Apollo like physique of Manager Ralph SIessinger, of the Pres colt nine. The latter individual is so fiery that he can't smoke cigar. It burns at the wrong end if he tries it.
 The cause of the confagration of human feelings is Billy the Bear slayer" who is now extinct by three months sentence in jail.
 Before getting into the county bas- tile here, Billy took a trip to Prescott where he passed himself of as the swell sport of Flagstaff.
 "rm the backer of two faro games, the silent partner of the best saloon in town, a st0ckholder in the bank and am running the baseball club,n de- clared the gentleman who is now being cared for by the tender hand of Jallor Drum.
 The people of Prescott were not ac- quainted with Williams marvellous feats as a prevaricator, and they be- lieved him.
 "I want to arrange two games with the nine here," remarked Billy to Mir. Slessinger.
 The business was concluded. Billy was wined and dined and the Bear slayer engaged several rooms to ac- commodate the Flagstaff boys at the Burke hotel. On the strength of it, William borrowed several dollars. The games were to come off on April 30 and May 8, respectively. When the club from this town failed to appear on the first mentioned date, people in Prescott were wrathy. It had been advertised and all arrangements were made to entertain the visitors. When they failed to come an investigation was made and the fraud was discov- ered
 Should Billy again visit Prescott, several people declare that he will leave there in a coffin.

 Yesterday afternoon Alfred Lamson and Walter Lewis entered the rear door of Edwards drug store and ab- stractcd the contents of the money drawer, securing $l6. Mr. Edwards heard the thieves and gave the alarm. The bold robbers ran across the railroad and Marshal Hochder'ffer pur- sured them, overtaking them on the outskirts of town. So quickly had the thieves been followed that they were discovered in the act of burying the money, which was all recovered. The grand jury will investigate the ease today and the chances are that the bold operators will land in Yuma. In searching the prisoners inc marshal found number of gold rings. sup posed to have been stolen elsewhere.

sUsrAINs THE INCORPORATION.

SUSTAINS THE INCORPORATION.
 THE attempt to have the incorpora. tion of Tempe declared void has failed The supreme court has declared that the act under which che town was created is constitutional, and the re- progressive element has been. placed where it belongs--in the rear. The establishment of cities, towns and vil- lageS wherever the number and den- sity of the population warrants it, is one of the fundamental principles of a republic. Local self-government has and always will prevail within the United States, wherever it does not in- terfere with the general good of the people at large. A municipality can always regulate it's own affairs better than state legislature could do so and outside interference would be detri- mental instead of beneficial. A meas ure which is good in one locality may be bad ip another, because of the pe- culiarities of the reople and the dilfer- ent methods which are to be found in the various sections of the country. A strict law against gambling may be operative in some parts of the east. but in the west it would be abortivc. So also would different laws that are gov. erned by environments. What would advance one townln the territory would reiard another, The legislature would find it impossible to make one enact ment fit both cases. The only way is to create towns wherever it Is possible to do so. Tho person who opposes the incorporation of a municipality is either prompted by bad or mistaken motives.
 The court also decided that jury trials could not be demanded in casee where ] violation of 2 local ordinance was charged. unless the ordinance itself granted one. The defendant, however, must be accorded the privilege of put ting in evidence.
 This decision permanently settles the question of the legality of Flagsttf as a town and hereafter all talk to the con- trary can be considered as bosh.

RESOLUTIONS OF CoNDoLENCE.

I~- Resolutions of coincidence and re spect were unanimously passed by Flagstaff lodge, No. z, F. & A. M.. ai it's last regular meeting in obedience to and as usual on such occasions a committee of three was appointed by Flagstaff lodge, No. z, F. X A. M, as follows, Brothers J. B. Tappan, W. D. Fraser and acting Worthy Master J. Guthrie Savage, to draft resolutions of extreme sadness at the death of our brother, William G. Stewart.
 Death is always sad, and when an acquaintances of SD many years, as co. adjutor in the legal and political in- terests of our city and territory, where he has ever been SO prominent for the years we have known him.
 He was q man not without his faults, but had many excellent manly traits and stood we'll and high as q pleadcr at the bar, whole-souled, happy com panion, quick witted, ever ready to help d friend, ever battling for what he thought was right.
 He may have successor in this territory, but his place in our opinion can never be filled. We think the highest tribute we can pay our associ- ate is that in many ways he was a manly man,
 Therefore, we have the following resolution to offer on this occasion:
 WHEREAS, By the evolution of na- ture and the destiny of man the sum- mons called death has entered our fraternal circle and removed in the meridian of his ambition and the zenith of his usefulness our witty and courageous companion and brother. Hon. William G. Stewart, of Flagstaff, Arizona,
 Be it therefore resolved, That in his untimely death the bar has lost one q. it's most brilliant pleaders, the c;tv oro of its valuable citizens, the territory an able defender, That which brinos us together casts its gloom of sadness 4ver this group of sorrowiny brothers he was one who served his constituents and friends well. We can scarcely believe that he has left us, never to answer roll call again. He was well and widely known throughout our territory and we are deeply sensible of the loss which this city has sustained
 Resolved, That copy at these reso- lutions with seal of our lodge and attpst of our secretary be sent tho aged mother. also copies to his be. reaved wife and sister, and copy furnished the papers of our city for publication, and page of our lodge record be devoted and properly in scribed in memoriam.

THE Flagstaff Board of Trade seems to have been killed by hard winter. At least it is not in evidence this spring when great many improvements are being made. If such Il body is ever going to be of any use to d town, 1t is when the latter is in it's infancy and growing. Should the old board be too dead to resurrect new one should be created to fill the vacancy.

RUSSIA has stepped in and is now attempting to bully Japan into sur rendering her virtual prOtectorate over Korea. The Bear will find that the little nation of the east is not to be bullied. Japan may consent in con- sideration of further money indem- nifty to waive her possession of Liao Tuug peninsula, but she will never allow even au enemy the size of Russia to flighten her out of the fruits of her victory over China.

THE scheme of the council to have Flagstafi own its own water and light
 tug system is good one. It has been found practicable and satisfactory in other communities and the tendency of all progressive municipalities is that way. Both institutions are pub lie ones and wholly So.3 They are sup ported by the people at large and should be controlled by them. Con- petept men can be employed to con duct them as readily by the town as by private corporations, the expense of their maintenance could be reduced to minimum and large saving to everybody could undoubtedly be made. The ownership of such establishments by cities is no longer an experiment., but an established fact. But on the other hand where the town is unable to carr, out the necessary public service for want of funds. these all important matters ..f water and light should not be delayed.
