QUICK JUSTICE.
Juan Valenzuela Convicted of Murder
 in Fifteen Minutes.

After fifteen minutes deliberation a district court jury yesterday convicted Juan Valenzuela of the murder of Crisanto ValenZuela, his uncle.
 The trouble occurred June 13 last in little group of miserable brush work huts north of the Maricopa & Phoenix roundhouse, where a number of MeXicans of the lower class were holding hilarious carousal, with cheap wine as the inspiration.
 In the midst of the hilarity the younger Valenzuela suddenly and without apparent provocation, whipped out a large knife and attacked his uncle. Like a madman he fiourished the gleaming weapon and cowed those who attempted the defense of his vic tim. Step by step he drove the old man to the door of his own home hacking at him all the while with the knife, until finally the old man sank bleeding and grooming in the door. way. The wounds proved fatal and Juan Valenzuela was held for mur. der. He is about 30 years old, an6 his record will not recommend hin | to mercy

Col. Myron H. McCord and Mrs. Me Cord entertained a company of Wis consin people yesterday A four horse team and the new Hotel Adams omnibus were employed in a drive to the canal dam, one of the Arizona Im- provement cOmpany's orchards and the
 HOle-in-the-Rock An elegant lunch was spread at the orange orchard and
 news from home" formerly north ern Wisconsin, which told of snow storms and blizzards helped to enliven the day of perfect sunshine and sum- mer zephyrs. Even the omnibus was built at Janesville, Wisconsin, so the
 Badgers were strictly in evidence. The party was composed of MT. and Mrs. McCord and son, Guy McCord, formerly of Merrill; Mr. and Mrs. La Shantz and two daughters, formerly of Merrill; Dr. Wylie, Mrs. Wylie and two daughters, formerly of West Su- perior; Mrs. William Knox and Miss Knox, formerly of Wausau; Mrs. c.

thoroughly understands the place. For guards there are Wynkoop, Sullivan, Decorsley and Parish, all good men, but some of whom have the advantage of weight over others. For tackles there are R. Fowler, Seman, Waters, Dunbar and Kirkland. For ends, Lin vile, Cooley, Freeman and Troops. Linville shows remarkable sprinting powers and his playing displays brain work. He can think, and moves as quick as his thought. Cooley is. the last years end and thorough foot ball man.
 For quarterback the team is for tunate in receiving, in addition to Cobb, Harry Cotton, recently from the east, where he has been explaining a team. He is quick, sure and hard player. H. Fowler and Evans and Dunbar are trying out at halfback. All are good men, Evans and Fowler having played in those positions last year, when they proved their merit Dunbar is a good man at half, though he tries to go it alone too frequently For fullback Willis and Rulings are aspirants. Willis played at that post last year and he will probably play there this year. Rulings is a star tackler and punter, but has not trained enough.
 Taking the candidates as a whole there can be picked a team that with constant training will standAup against any in the west.
 The boys are practicing every even ing at 6,30 at the armory or the jail, and every morning at at the West
 End place. As positions on the team will be assigned to those who practice
 most and show best qualities, it be-
 hooves all aspirants to get out to every
 practice. Thursdays game will show
 whether they have practiced well or
 not.
