WAR AVERTED. An Armed Body of Men
 Make a Raid On J. H. Rigdon'S Ranch to Stampede Cattle. Resistance was Made and the Attempt was Futile. The Outcome of Controversy Over the Leasing of Some Land
 to Rigdon.

It looked very much as if there would be blood shed yesterday morning in the Fowler district north of town. An armed body of men who all looked de- termined made an appearance early in the morning at the ranch of J. H. Rig don and attempted to drive out bunch of cattle MT. Rigdon was in bed at the time but was quickly made aware of the invasion on his prem ises of an en emy. He jumped out of bed with blood in his eye, and putting on his clothes as he ran he hastened to meet the ad- vancing foe.
 A Mexican was the first luckles in- dividual to cross his path and the first thing he knew he was sprawling on the ground and MT. Rigdon was on the horse he had been using moment be- fore. The rest of the armed body were trying to run the cattle out of the pas ture, and it was Rr. Rigdon's avowed intention that the cattle would remain on the premises.
 MT. Rigdon's two sons made an ep. pearance armed with shotguns and re- volvers and joined their father in as- eletluS Io IcpOi tho AH'auoio. 4uc other faction finding they could not round up the cattle left the place and came to Phenix.
 To get the straight of the story it will be necessary to go back year. About that time MT. Rigdon leased section of land from the Fowler company and in payment of the rent WAS to give 35( pounds of wheat per year for each and every acre.
 He managed to pay the bulk of the rent about month ago and balance of $500 was still due which he refused to pay stating that the Fowler's had not fulfilled their contract in not furnishing the required amount of water to irrigatt the ranch.
 The Fowlers had 400 head of cattle that they wished to pasture and they came to an arrangement with MT. Rig

 J. B. Woodward, attorney at law The sanitary condition of the city is disgraceful. Dr. Purman and TIE RE. PUBLICAN should have the thanks of the people for demanding Its improvement. l am satisfied that the people are unit for reform in this matter and that only few kickers are opposed.
 D. Battin, proprietor of the Phoenix Oil company-No objection to the inter- view of Dr. Purman Stir them up little. Only good can come from im- proving the sanitary condition. T. A. Orr. real estate broker-I have only praise for the fearless stand taken by Dr. Purman. The idea of Dr. Pur- man doing or saying ought to hurt the city is the sheerest bosh. The doctor is gentleman with high sense of horor and has come to stay and invest all he has in the real estate of the val ley.
 A score of other gentlemen were seen. Some did not want to be quoted and others had given the subject no atten- tion and knew nothing beyond what they had read in the papers since the agitation was begun last Monday. All | were glad, though, that It had been be- gun, they believed that if Dr. Purman believed the situation was alarming it
 was really so and agitation would certainly mend it.

 The principal reason for not allowing Wodehouse to see the prisoner is on ac- count of his attitude towards this gov. ernment. He has repeatedly meddled in it's affairs and has treated it with con- tempt and on different occasions it is rumored the British government has presented claims of indemnity amount ing to $345, 900 against the Hawaiian government on account of several Brit ish subjects being imprisoned during the existence of martial law and re. leased without charges having been made.

don that the latter was to receive SO much per head per month for pasturage which would be credited to the amount still due them for the rental of the land. Everything being satisfactory the cattle were placed on pas,urage and when the month was up MT. Rigdon presented a bill to the Powders for something over two hundred dollars for the pasturing of their cattle. They re. fused to pay the claim on the grounds that the amount was to be credited to his account but Mir. Rigdon would not have it that way. Seeing that they could not get any settlement with Rig. don they attached his personal property at the ranch and he put in a counter claim for damages. One on the Fowler boys was placed in charge by the sheriff as keeper.
 MT. Rigdon then came to the city and conferred with his attorney, G. P. Bull lard who advised him to seize the cat tie under the lien law.
 A couple of days ago, Henry Fowler, the keeper, with the assistance of @ Mexican attempted to fill the water holes on the ranch so that the cattle could get water. Rigdon made an ap. pearance and told the Mexican to de- sist or he would shoot him and told Fowler the same thing. He then called to somebody in the house to bring him gun. Fowler being unarmed and fearing Rigdon would shoot him. left the premises. Yesterday morning he thought he would make another at- tenn pt to get the cattle and fearing that Rigdon would carry the threat to shoot him into execution he took along several armed men as matter of ore. caution. The result of ths visit has already been stated.
 Finding that they could not stampede the cattle from the place Henry Fowler then resorted to ruse. He went to Glendale and had warrant sworn out for Rlgdon and his sons. The warrant was issued, but Rigdon was brought before Justice Johnstone in this city and while he was absent the Fowler faction swooped down on the ranch and drove out the cattle. The case against Rigdon was set for o'clock yesterday afternoon and at the appointed time all hands were present, but the complaint made ont by the Glendale justice had not arrived and as the case could not be tried on the warrant Justice John. stone dismissed the case on motion oi the district attorney.
 The case will be settled by civil pro cess.
