The Casa Grande Canal.

Judg" j. H. Kibbey returned
yesterday morning from Florence,
where for ten days he has been in
attendance upon the interests of
his clients, the farmers who own
lands under the notorious aud i'll
fnyorta Florence canal.
But the judge has not been in
Jail, nor even under arrest. Neither
has been his colleague in the case,
Attorney w. r. S'ona, Dan
Stevens, a county supervisor, and
probably. the leading citizen of
Pinal county, was found guilty Of
contempt, admonished aud mildly
fined by Judge Rouse, and cifa :,
ton i'll contempt was threatened
over the two defending attorneys,
butit syet has not been served.
The cause of all this, the imme-
date cause, lay in the order of
Court Commissioner Miller in re-
leasing tho temporary lnju .cti1n
wherein the farmers were prohibited
from interfering with Manager
Hammond or the Casa Grandc
canal. as the new incorporation is
called. The attorneys, pointing to
sections CAT ami 64S of the revised
statutes, aver that court com
missioner has, temporarily, in legal
orders, ETC., the power OF district
judge during the absence of the
judge. Judge Rouse thought
otherwise. He fred Judge Miller
by mail, and appointed in his
place Thomas Weeden, clerk Of the
court at FLORENCE, Then he upset !
the Miller rulings, and in answer
to prayer Of the farmers, placed
the canal into the hands Of a re-
ceiver, but, iii Difference to the
canal company, made Manager
Hammond the receiver SO author
lied. Then it was that came the
action in contempt above noted.
There has been sixteen irrigators
a very roll of the most prominent
men in the county, arrested for
riot in taking the canal away from
the receiver. Three Of the sixteen
were tried, with result of ver-
dict of not guilty-in each case, and
then the diseriet attorney moved to
dismiss the cases against the re-
mainder.
Thus rests the Florence water
war, but there are individuals who
aver that it is sure to break ont
again in added force. The trouble
had its rise IN the following circum
stances: The Florence canal was
built in 1887, with a rated capacity
Of 10000 miners inches. 1t passes
through vast body of as fine land
as is known in Arizona, This land
was located by settlers and rights
were bought to a large portion of
the canals capacity to furnish
water. The canal company got
into financial straits and the ditch
was neglected till it would carry
less than 5000 inches. Then the
canal was sold under foreclosure
and purchased by the Casa Grande
Valley Canal Company, which
sought to issue new deeds to hol-
ders of water rights. AS the new
deeds contained provisions OBJ
noxious to the farmers they were
refused. The canal shut off the
water at the headgate on the Gila.
The farmers seized the canal and
trouble promptly began, How it
will end will assuredly be a topic
for another tale.

After presentation by w. A. Rosencrans,
Duane G. Cooper was nominated by accla-
nation for county clerk and the action
was the cause of several rounds of prolong-
ed cheers.
For register of deeds three of the most re-
spected, honest, intelligent, popular and ca
pable men in the county were placed In
nomination, and 1t is safe to say that sell
dom, IL ever, were the words of the speak
ers more influenced by the personal regard
which they had for the ones named. The
men were the pride of the communities in
which they had all long resided and the de-
votion which they had shown to their
friends, to the republican party, redeeming
as they had their former democratic strong
holds, made the claims Of the men greater
than those of any three ever presented for a
conventions consideration.

policy of consolidating all the post
offices with the big ones in their
vicinity, which the administration
has been pushing Of late, and to
emphasize its disapproyal it added
an amendment to the regular post
office appropriation bill, limiting
the consolidation Of post offices to
those located within five miles OF
the corporate limits of cities.
If congress endorses the action of
the house committee on military
affairs nothing short of the presi-
dential veto will prevent Gen. Miles
being made lieutenant General.
The committee BY vote eight to
to four decided to favorably report
the joint resolution offered by Rep
resentative Hardy of Indiana to
promote Gen. Miles to that rank.
The fight which Secretary Lamont
under Mr.. Cleveland's orders of
course-has been making on Gen.
Miles, has n AIDE friends instead OF
opponents for the resolution. The
fact that some people didn't want
Gen. Miles to enjoy that because he
wasn't West Pointer has also
acted in his favor. His promotion
would be a deserved compliment to
the volunteer officers of the late

why these two noble leaders had moth
