County Supervisors Likely to Be Prose-

of m HIerk

PHOENIX, ARIz., April 1.-THE Grand
Jury, VIII ich met several months ago, made
an exhaustive examination OF the books of
the various county officers and charged
the Supervisors with gross carelessness in
spending the county's money, especially
on, road work and jail contracts. The
books of the board were in such bad shape
that the jury could not check them up in
the limited time it had to work but it rec
commended the dismissal of Clerk E. b.
kirkland and the appointment of more
competent person. This was done. The
jury brought in no indictment against
the Supervisors and, consequently some
OF the heaviest taxpayers of the county
formed Citizens League to make further
investigations and take such steps as
seemed necessary for redress.
1t was soon discovere d that Clerk Kirk
land was defaulter to the amount of $3.50,
but his friends returned this sum to the
county and he was not prosecuted. Since
that time other shortages have been dis
covered from time to time, which will in
crease the total defalcation TO about $1,000
Kirkland has left the county.
The league has been working secretly
and holding weekly meetings and on Mon
day the result of the investigations is to
be made public. 1t is learned on GOOD
authority that it had been decided to be-
gin criminal action against the Super

Bail.
SHERIFF BURR's DISCOVERY.
Finds Clothing Corresponding to That
Worn by the PoStofflce
Robbers.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, April 1.-THE
murderers of Postmaster John Hayes Jr
Of Puente have been captured; at least
two brothers are in the County Jail
charged with the offense. They are B. w.
and George D. Ming, residents of Puente.
Sheriff Burr brought the prisoners with
him yesterday evening upon his return
from the scene OF the tragedy. He kept
their names and the fact of their arrest
for the murder secret until to-day, as he
was not altogether satisfied that he had
the right men. To-day. however, he filed
complaints against them and had them
formally arraigned for the murder before
Justice Young, who held them for exami-
nation without bail.
The Ming brota ers are laborers and have
lived at Puente for many years. Their ac-
quaintance and former association with
the Cummings desperadoes of Ell Monte
directed suspicion toward them. An oil
coat, linen duster and white hat, cor
responding to those worn by the robbers,
were found at their house, and were the
primary cause of their arrest. Other cir.
cumstantial evidence has been unearthed,
but they steadily protest their innocence.
The murdered mans body was shipped
to San Francisco to-day.

Y0LO JURY D|SACREES,
Fails to Reach a Verdict in a
Case Important to Hop
Growers.
Litigation Affecting Contracts Entered
Into by San Francisco
Firm.

WOODLAND, CAL, April 1.-THE case
of Uhlman & Co., San Francisco hop
dealers, VS.. Wylie & Casselman, hop growers
of 4olo County, which has been stubbornly
contested before a jury in the Superior
Court the past three weeks, was concluded
to-day, the jury disagreeing after long
wrangle.
Not only were several thousand dollars
involved in the result of the suit, but as
test case it would have affected hundreds
of hop-growers along the Sacramento
River in this county, under similar con-
tracts. In May of last year Uhlman &
Co. entered into contract with Wylie &
Casselman to buy their hops for five years
at cents per pound and later advanced
$lT00 to be expended for picking. When
the hops were baed Uhlman & Co, sent
their agent to the ranch. He examined
the hops and declined 10 take them, on
the ground that they did not come up to
certain conditions named in the contract
Suit was commenced last August against
WyIle d CaSselman to recover the amount
OF money advanced on promissory notes,
and an attachment was placed Oh the hops
The crop was sold upon an order of the
Superior Court at public auction for 3
cents per pound.
The defendants filed a cross-complaint.
alleging that the notes were given as re-
ceipIs for the money advanced TO them,
and asked for damages in $4,000, the diff
ference between the sum they had already
received and the amount called for In the
contract.
One of the main contentious in the ca Sc
was as to the quality and soundness of the
hops, and on this point more than forty
witnesses were examined and much con-
Trajectory testimony adduced. The jury
stood eighe for the plaintiffs to three for

the county at Fraternal Hall this morn
Ing, the occasion being a special meeting
of Pomona Grange, which is made up of
all the subordinate oranges in this section.
G. w. Norton, the master of the grange
was the first speaker, and he was followed
by Walter Greer, worthy master of the
State Grange, who spoke briefly, and then
introduced Past Master Daniel Flint OF
Sacramento, the speaker of the day.
Flinr's subjec. was, 'The Declaration of
Purposes of the Grange" From the
declaration of principles the speaker went
to the benefits that had accrued to all
those joining the grange, and showed that
much more intelligent farming had re-
suited from the work of the organization.
The farmers had been brought closer 10.

from the frequent meetings of the progress

tivating the soil, and in this way had re-
ceived practical benefit. as well as enjoyed

Street COnanissioner Cozad Refuses to
Vacate His Office.
SANTA ROSA, CAL, April. 11.-Politi-
cal circles were profoundly stirred this
afternoon when it was definitely known
that D. w. Cozad had filed a com plant
contesting the election of John McMinn
to the Office of Street Commissioner.
The complaint Is short and to the point,
alleging that McMinn, the Democratic
nominee, and Carleton, the Republican
nominee. were members of the American
Protective Association. and that Just be-
fore the election the two candidates agreed
to pool their issues to defeat Cozad, who
was then the holder of the office and in the
held again, independent of party ties. The
complaint further declares that to procure
the Endorsement of the American Protec-
tive Association McMinn paid to Carleton
sum of money and agreed to give him q
place on the street work; that Carleton &C.
cepted the money and offer OF work and in
return induced his friends to vote for Nc
Mimi. Cozad charges that McMinn's
statement of expenses did not include the
amount paid to Carleton.
Cozad has refused to give up the tools
and supplies OF his Office and says he has
proof Tor all of his allegations. Judge
Crawford fixed on April % as special day
on which to hear the case.

Cigarette smoking IS one of the evils

PHGNIX. ARIz., April 1.-THE politi-
cal pot is boiling in Arizona. Last night
the wing of the Republican party led by
Editor Wolfley of the Daily Republican
held caucus to select delegates to the
county convention, called for April 15.
But one ticket was voted for, the other
wing of the party having held a primary
on the Sth. There will undoubtedly be
two sets of delegates from this county to
the Territorial convention, as two county
conventions are to meet, on the 14th and
18th, and both will select delegates to the
Territorial convention.
Both sides threaten to carry the contest
up to the st. Louis convention If neces-
sary. Unless a compromise is effected
there will be lively times among the men,
bers OF the party.
Oifice-seekers are already besieging
Governor Franklin, but if he has inti-
mated TO any one what his course will be
they have kept it close secret. 1t is ru-
mored that Thomas Smith, an old Demo-
cratic warhorse. would like to be Terri
torial Treasurer, and has secured the aid
OF Editor Woltiey in working for the ap-
pointment. In return Smith is to use his
influence to have Wolfley appointed as the
Republican member of the Board of Con-
troll. which manages the affairs of, and
disburses all the money for the support of
all Territorial institutions. This board is
composed of the Governor, Auditor and
one citizen member appointed by the Gov
ernor.
Private Secretary Burnett has been TAX
ing an inventory of supplies in the Gov
ernor's office and finds but few penhold-
ers and ink wells, but no stationery. 1t is
claimed that the allowance of $500 by the
Legislature and $500 by the United States
for contingent expenses has been ex-
hausted and yet there are several months
to run, during which time Governor Frank
lin will have to buy his own postage

urer Cole has published a statement to-day

SAVED TO SANTA CRUZ.

Court Held in a Quaint Shanty That
Smacks Of the Early

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, April 1.-When
Judge Logan instructed Sheriff Besse to
announce the cOnvoking of the Superior
Court for Santa Cruz County this morn
ing he looked about the narrow room of
his temporary courthouse and smiled. The
humor of the situation seemed to have
caught the audience, among which were
the members of the Board of Supervisors
The neat little shanty hastily put together
for the preservation of the title to the land
gift from the Cooper estate stands in the
shadow Of the new brick and stone struc-
ture in course OF construction and looks
more like a contractors Toulouse than a
place for holding court. There was prac-
tically no work to be done by the court to-
day.
One small order was made and Clerk Ed
Martin was instructed to enter an order
declaring the removal of the court from
the Hotaling building on Front street to
the present abode of justice. When court
adjourned it was until Monday next, and
on that day the regular business will pro-
ceed as usual.
The half hundred spectators who looked
upon the proceedings th is morning seemed
divided in sentiment between the serious
and jocular aspect OF situation that ne
cessitates the holding OF court in this
small wooden building.
1t reminded many OF them of the days
of the pioneer courts, though the carpeted
floor and papered walls reflected change.
The more serious passed upon the causes
that have made this wooden building a
necessity, and regretted that Santa Cruz
County had suffered the indignity of un-
necessary delay. Another cause for delay
in the construction of the new building
came up to-day in the refusal OF the terra
Gotta workers to proceed with extra work
in the lining of the vaults until Superin-
tendent Beck shall guarantee their pay
ment. This difference will probably be
adjusted by Monday and the work proceed.

made himself known as a clever amateur
on the stage. He received bis training in
Portland theaters.
George Bush '9s, as Said Pasha, made q
satisfactory king, and sang, in better form
than ordinarily. F. p. Abbott. from an
artistic standpoint, was the best singer OF
the evening" His Hassen Bey, the devoted
lover, was good bit OF work; but his
voice lacked fire. Terano was assigned to
w. A. Sutherland, who has very sweet
voice. but is not certain on the upper notes.
Unlike most daShing Mexicans, Suther-
land made Terano appear as if suffering
fram a fatal attack of sleepiness and
ennui, while the nervousness of the ideal
hunting Terano was quite perceptible.
Nothing but praise could be given the
female characters. True, the unaccus-
toned garments bottle red the women
somewhat-the traditional vestments of
harem beauties are enough to worry the
nineteenth century maidens-but for all
that the girls were accorded but merited
praise for their work.
Miss Farrell as Belah Soiah, made the
most of her serlo-comic role. She entered
with zest into the delineation of the sus-
ceptible female on the wrong side of thirty,
and appeared at ease in her part. Miss
Mcmillan sang Serena's part in excellent
voice. Miss Mann's Interpretation OF
Alti was very favorably commented upon.
She has voice Of utmost clearness and
wide range. Her "make-up" as the
Raiah's daughter was above anticipation.
Taken all in all the opera will long be
remembered as another victory for Stan
