WANTA GRAND JURY
PETITION Was PRESENTED TO

MI Stanley Presented it by Reqnest--His
Honor Takes the Matter Under Advise

and Registers a Kick on Behalf of Some
Tax Payers--Says it is Too Late to Order

ation--They All Smile.

Hon. W L Stanley presented Pc
for the appointment of grand jury for
the May term OF the district court. Mr..
Stanley said that he presented it By
request and that he would make no
arguments in favor of it as the peti-
r, ton explained itself.
Judge Reed said any citizen had a
right to petition and that he should
Cite the matter a fair and impartial
consideration. He thought the grand
jury WAS provided for in cases where
the ordinary provision for the enforce
ment of the law failed and if he found
that such conditions prevailed here
IL would be his duty on the presenta-
ton of the petition to order a grand
jury, otherwise il would not

law requires that the grand jury shall
be ordered thirty days before the COM
mencement Of the term of court at
which they are to serve and it is now
to late. If he were to order grand
jury now for the May term it would
not be legal and their indictments
would not amount to row of pins"
The petition is very respectable as

lars of expense whether il effected any
good results or not
1t was thought this would end the
case until Judge Reed got ready to
decide what ne would do in regard to
the matter but not so.
The petition was presented by Mr..
Stanley in the forenoon and after court
convened in the afternoon Senator
OBryan called up the matter and
entered MS protest against the calling
Of a grand jury. He said he did this
on behalf of A numter of tax payers.
Mr.. O'Bryan claimed that the law
provided that a grand jury should be
ordered thirty days before the begin

asked for the grand jury to be ordered
for the May term and there are now
less than thirty days intervening Of thu

Yesterday afternoon Constable Jas.
Russell drove down Main street in his
buggy with the communion set Of the
First Baptist church in his possession.
He had il attached under a suit brought
by Rev. l.. A. Hall. pastor of the Cen
trail Baptist church. That is not all
he had attached. but as il was the
most sacred if no. the most valuable
article in the church he was taking
extra good care of il. and took II home
for safe keeping. The fact is all the
property of the First Baptist church
was attached including Bibles, furni-
ture. pulpit and everything that goes
TO make up the equipment of the church.
O'Bryan & Carbon were the attorneys
who brought the attachment.
The case is the result of the quarrel
Rev. L. A Hall has had with the First
Baptist church, and which has extend
ed back several months. As is well
known, he was the pastor OF that
church until the trouble eliminated in
the split which resulted in quite .

Hall and forming the Central Baptist

claims that the First church owes him

balance that he has commenced the

THE PENITENTTARY.

Aside from the benefits that are encirled around this community in its plea for the location of this in- stitution at Prescott, there are facts to back up the argument and fig ures to prove it. The question is one of principle in the desire for a removal which must be apparent to the dullest mind as year by year they face insult after insult. It is the proposition of Arizona taxing Arizonans to maintain this den and slurring them afterwards in totally disregarding the territory by the patronage that is given to Southern California directly. The favoritism is so plain that since the creation of this institution the records show that of nearly a million dollars paid out by the territory four-ffths of that sum has virtually gone to Cali fornia. It is only recently that Ari- zona producers have received any recognition for their industry of years by being permitted to offer their goods or wares, but even in this respect they are limited. The favoritism that has prevailed in the system of maintaining this concern Is simply fragrant, and why submit
 ted to by the people is remarkable, The question of removing this in stitution, whether it be to Prescott or any other point, is the sacred duty of Arizonans to reflect on, and it is through their representatives they speak to-day modestly but em- phaticaIly. As a political center of chicsnery and corruption it speaks in tones of insolence to the people, and were the territory's in terests to be accounted for at the present time a mill on every dollar expended since 1875 could not be realized from its sale at the present time. The day has come for a chsge and the sooner it occurs the quicker will the question be settled forever.

SUICIDE AT wHIPPLE.

 A Veteran of the Army shoOis HimsslE
 Another suicide occurred at Whip pie this morning, by Sergeant Major Muehlig, of the Huh Infantry, shooting himself in the forehead with a Winchester rife. No cause is given for the deed, other than it is due to overwork, incidental to his duties. Previous to committing the act this morning, he seemed jovial in disposition and conversed with his son, saying that he would have to care for some one m. the future, and to be a good boy, which is now linked to the deed as one that was premeditated. He attended to his duties as usual this morning. and went to his room in the old headquarters building, where, at S:3O o'clock, he was found dead. From the appearance of the rife as it lay between his limbs, with a piece of red tape attached to the trigger, together with water around the room, which had been placed in
 the barrel to deaden the report, he was determined to accomplish his destruction without attracting any ones attention in the adjoining rooms. He was seen in reclining position by several, after the deed had been committed, and while the rife was also in position, and it was only after he had failed to answer a question, was it known that he was dead. He left 8 note saying: "I cant stand this any more" He had been in the army for IF years, l2 of which he was sergeant major of the I1th Infantry and at the time of his death was the senior non-com- missioned staff officer in the regular army. He also served in the Ger man army during the Franco Prussian war in lS70-1 and received the iron cross for distinguished
 services. He was born in SaXony, Germany, about 47 years ago and leaves a widow and six children. He will be buried tomorrow at the post at 10:30 a. m. with military honors.

ARIZONA JOURNAL-MTNER
IT.. c. MARTIN. Editor and ProP'r.
A,1INING RuREAU.

Tn view of the prominence of this section since the completion of the new road south, and the re- putation Prescott enjoys every where as a mining center, the idea naturally suggests itself that some thing of a display in this line of our resources should be in existence to prove the claims we advance and demonstrate above all other things to visitors that our existence is due by no means to illicit conditions.
 Of late there have been number of people visiting this city, from all centers of the country, and the absence of the usual places of ren- dezvous of public nature, so com mon in other cities has called from many something of a rebuke to us. particularly so being the question of lack of mining display. Most people are attracted to this section on the ground of mining, while a few come for their health. It seems strange then, for us to presume in having what We do not possess, so far as proving it goes.
 The inauguration of a mining bureau and above all things one that will be kept up in a sincere and spirited way. would simply be better than a bonanza. It would create with every stranger an everlasting regard, Demonstrating that our beast is a legitimate one, for here would the product of hundreds of mines be shown in evidence, Aside from the beneficial results that would follow such a concern, per sonal pride would always be cen tered in the institution to make 1t a success. No bulky bins should be permitted, but on the other hand neat and durable receptacles should be secured, and above all con venient location should be acquired and kept in tidy condition. The Worlds Fair display of minerals attracted millions, and it would seem that the eye never tired in be- holding the riches and beauty before it. Even old and experienced miners look again and again at the results of nature, while younger people are seized with fascination as they see the wealth displsyd so rudely. The mines around Prescott can fill an acre with samples, and there is no reason why the queen mineral exhibit of the west should not be accredited to us. It will pay, and we should have it.

PHESrx, March 12.-Gov. Hughes yesterday afternoon vetoed the Vol fey relief bill and the Gazette Pub fishing Company's relief bill. An effort will be made to pass both measures over the veto, but whether it will prove successful or not, re- mains to be seen.
 Both houses spent the afternoon in committee of the whole, and sent back a number of measures with various recommendations.
 Council bill Number Sixteen was recommended fsvorably in the House. It provides for dividing the counties into supervisors districts, and for holding an election every year. It was vigorously opposed by Gaddis and Martin, but met with favorable consideration when it came up in the House. This morn. ing it was ordered recommended to the committee on counties and county boundaries. but there is little hope of having it furtl'er amended, and it will, without doubt, pass as amended aud printed by the House.
 The bill for the reduction of the salaries of prison officials, passed by a vote of sixteen to six.
 The bill providing for the removal of the normal school to Tucson, and several other bills, met with an untimely end in the House this morning, by being indefinitely post poned.
 The Council adjourned till Thurs day morning at 10 o'clock, and the House will not hold an afternoon session to-day.
 PHKxIx, March 12.-The Terri torial Press Association met yes terday morning, and elected the following officers for the ensuing year: J. W. Darlington, president; J. c.
