A PRECEDENT MADE.
A Prescott Justice of the Peace Has
Made Prize Fighting Easy.

The Phoenix Gazette" says: Justice
Moore has sprung new legal idea
that will be handed down to coming
generations, and it will be of value to
the Texas people when Corbett and
Fitzsimmons mix. He decides that a
recent fight in Prescott, where regu-
lar fee was charged and two men
fought to finish, was fake, pure
and simple, consequently those par
ticipating in it are not liable under the
territorial law prohibiting prize fight
ing. Hereafter the way will be easy,
as those who fight may lind any num-
ber of witnesses who will testify that
the performance was rank fake and
but few such affidavit men would ever
be held to answer the charge OF fperjury.

diet that Arizona will be admitted dur.
ing the next term of Congress. Ad-

May VISIT the Grand Canyon.

1t is more than likely that many of
the delegates to the National Irrigation
Congress apd others will want to take
n trip to the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado. This was mentioned as a
possible diversion last year to the
members of the National Irrigation
Congress when they were in session in
Denver. 1t was stated, however, that
there would be limit to the number
that could be accommodated. Walter
G. Hadley returned from the Grand
Canyon the other day. While there
he made arrangements by virtue OF
which it will be possible for as many
to go as care To, and the rate will be
made very low, so that the expense
will not be prohibilory. A definite
announcement will be made immediate.
ly after the congress convenes here, in
order that applications may lie received
and registered and final satisfactory
arrangements completed.-Albuquer.

ROBBERS FOILED.

An Unsuccossful Attempt at Trnin Rob.
bery-But tho Robbers Got the Laugh,
CAMDEN, ARK, Jan. l.-Six masked
men made an effort to rob the north
bound Cottoubelt train duo here at 10
o'clock at a tank ten miles south of Cam
den. Their object was to secure the ex-
press money. The train stopped as
usual to take water and the negro por.
ter got off the train to 20 around to the
tank to let the water on. He was stop
ped, however. by a Winchester in his
face and ordered to uucouple the cars.
This order was obeysd and the engineer,
who was under guard, was made 10 run
the car up from the train, a distance OF
half mile.
The bandits discovered too late tina.
they had made water haul, taking the
baggage car instead OF tho express car.
They had to grin, take their medicine
and SO to the wooda. The leader told
tho engineer that he had the laugh on
them, but would SEQ him again. The
work was so quickly done that tho pas
sengers did not know what was going
on until the would.be robbers had
found refuge in the dcnse forest.
