THE SUPREME aCAURT.
A Revival of the Famous Fred Smith
 Case.

In the supreme court yesterday the cases of Lawler against the Bashford- Burmister company and the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix Railway company against Hurley were submitted. The most interesting feature of the day was in the ordering, on moidion of United States Attorney Ellinwood of interest on the judgment of the United States against the bondsmen of Fred Smith, the defaulting receiver of the Tucson land office The circumstances of Smiths dedication back in 'S9 are familiar to nearly every land owner in the valley The total amount aggre- gated about S25,OO0, nearly all paid in by entrymen in this valley and for which the government for time re- fused to be responsible. Finally by special acI5 O. congress credit was given each entryman for the amount of his personal receipt from Fred Smith and patents were issued accordingly.
 Fred, who, by the way, is a son of Extra Billy" Smith of Virginia, and a brother of the present chief justice of New Mexico, departed between two days for South America, where he is yet supposed to be. So his bondsmen became liable.
 Somehow however, United States Attorney Harry Jeffords could prove only $500 to sue on when he won his case in the United States district court in Pima county. This amount was adjudged without interest curi- ously enough, and after affirming the decision of the lower court the su- preme court awarded interest at per cent from April, 1890, adding little matter of AZ per cent ito the judgment.
 There are about twenty bondsmen from whom this is to be collected, a majority of them being resident in Phoenix

missed with instructions ito go to the camp, get the rest of the band, their horses and impedimenta together and return to the city hall for a grand re- view. All this was accomplished and when the procession of gypsies came up the two prisoners were discharged They mounted the wagons and the whole band, consisting of about fifty men, women and children, drove rap idly away, the men waving their hats and lowing politely to the representa- tives of the municipal government. The noses of their horses are turned toward Phoenix where the gypsies were assured they would be hospitably received as the enterprising boomers of the capital are offering extraordi- nary inducements to immigrants just now.
 Beside the gypsies there were thirty hobos, one nights catch, in police court. They had come directly from Phoenix, or as directly as hobos could be expected to come, considering the vigilance of trainmen.

SHE STOLE NO MONEY.
The Japanese Woman Discharged
 From Custody.

The Japanese girl, Honda, and her paramour, Frank Coleman, were dis charged yesterday by Justice John stone and the costs were as- sessed upon the prosecuting witness, one Okai. The costs were paid and the pair will probably be found again on the northern train at its start this morning, to again take up their journey to Leadville.
 There was no evidence to show the appropriation by either of the $1,OO0 claimed or any amount of cash The main villain in the tragedy appeared to be l5he brother of Honda, who un- doubtedly sought the aid of the law to keep the woman in Phoenix to earn money for him as chattel of prostitu- ton. It is understood that nearly all the Chinese and Japanese women of the town are held in a similar serfdom and are slaves to an even greater ex- tent than if it were in the ante-bellum days.

Brazilian Gypsies Steering for the
 Capital City.

Tucson Citizen: Now would be an opportune time for a hostile power ito make war on Brazil. A considerable part of the citizens of that new repub- lie have been in Tucson and yesterday set out on an expedition against Phoe- nix. On Saturday morning complaint began to be made at the marshaTs of flee against a band of gypsies who were in camp near town. They were infesting the outskirts of the city, beg ging, wanting to sell old pans and kettles, to tell fortunes, and unwilling to accept no as an answer On Sun day Marshal Paul arrested five men and kept them locked up over night. Those five constituted only a drop in the bucketful of the gang. The others speak only Portuguese, and the Por- tuguese interpreter was taking a day off, so that not much could be gathered of their mission in Arizona What the prisoners lacked in linguistic ability they made up in polil,eness and earn estness and squalor, dirt and outland- ish garb. Among their effects was found passport signed by the Bra gillian consul at La Guayra and at | tached to it was a passport from T. J. Golding, United States vice-consul at the same port. The documents were made out in the name of the leader of l the band, Juan Jorge.

Suicide In Japan.

IN Japan has been written by Mr.. Saito

tistics extend over ten years and show
that suicide has been on the increase
In Japan, both actually and in proper
ton to the total number of deaths In
1888 and 1886 the number in proportion
TO the population reached it's highest.
Mr.. Saito observes that during these
years there was great rise in the price
OF the neceSsaries of life. In the case
OF japanese women the age at which
suicide is most frequent Is about 20;
the corresponding period with men is
25. Comparatively few women commit
suicide after the twenty-fifth year, but
men are not safe until they are past 40

a Remarkable Nevada Wood

One of the most remarkable products
OF Nevada is species of wood known as
mountain mahogany, which, when dry,
IS as hard as lockwood, very fine grained,
red in color. and of very high specific
gravity. 1t has been used for boxes
for shaftings. and, in some instances,
Tor slides and dies in quartz batteries.
1t burns with blaze as long-lasting as
ordinary wood, but after going through
what appears to be regular combustion
it is found almost unchanged in form,
being converted into a charcoal that
lasts about twice as long as ordinary
wood, giving out immense heat, greater
than coal. all the time.
