The big water suit was closed yes
 terday and Judge Hawkins has
 taken the matter under advisement. ! Owing to the importance of this ! question and the interest there Is
 back of legal solution of the quss- | ton, there IS little doubt but what
 a speedy and yet a careful opinion
 will be given by Judge Hawkins on ! It. The case was one of the ablest ! in a legal sense ever fought in this | district, there being eight lawyers
 retained. Many flattering express ' sions are heard in favor of T. W. ! Johnston, whose able and logIcal ' presentation of the case was mas 1 terly and at the same time brilliant. ! Regardless of any legal interest in ! the matter and for the welfare of ! the community. our people hope ! the question will soon end and that the present unfortunate condition of the city will find a remedy from that which Is cursing it daily and retarding its progress.

 Mrs. J. Fl. Kibbey, and her daugh- ter, were passengers on Sundays north bound train en route east, from Phenix.
 Buckley O'Neill left fer Pheni1 to-day. It is useless to state that his mission to the capital Is one affecting himself principally and populism incidentally.
 Judge St. James, of Jerome, is visiting our city, this being the first time he has been among us for sev- eral months. Louie IS one of the veteran HassayamPers of Arizona, and naturally IS receiving a cordial welcome.
 Dr. hamblin, ex-superintent of the territorial insane asylum, passed through on Sundays north bound train, en route east, where he ex- poets to remain until October, when he will return to Phenix and en- gage in the practice of medicine.
 Harvey Helm, of whom nothing but agreeable things can be said, owing to his amiable disposition and his SandOw make up, is paying our city a brief visit. He IS from Wickenburg and will return to that place tomorrow.
 Charley NJ. Clark, the agreeable Jeromeite, strayed into Prescott on this mornings train. He is he same iovial person as of yOre, and sings ~ the praises of the big min ng camp in many keys. From the looks of things in Jerome generally, it is inn possible to put 1t on thick enough in sizing up the future of that town.
 The Sulphur Valley News, pub lished at Wilcox, Cochise county, has the following complimentary mention of two young ladies of this city: Misses May and Vernie Roberts. two of Prescott's s most ac- complained and graceful young ladies now have char Se of the tele- phone exchange at that place. For the past year or over. they have Ie- sided there with their parents, MT. and Mrs. Wm. Roberts, and have made many friends, as they will continue to do so in their capacity. They resided from early girlhood up, until few years ago, at Bonita, and ara well known in this section. Since leaving here, when both were mere girls, they have grown into handsome young ladies and have many admirers. The Prescott tele- phone subscribers are to be con- graduated in having such amiable ladies in cnarge of the central office, and we predict that the young men of the clty will now find mora attraction taan ever in talking over the phone"
