Quite an amusing incident occurred
here last week which was nothing more
nor less than n trade between Mack
Rogers and Vess Ridgeway. IL seems
that Rogers had two-ycar-old calf
which was neither large nor of medium
size, but altogether small. and Ridge
way had horse of twenty odd sum
mers, that he wished to dispose of i'm
some way without committing murder
in the first degree. hence trade was
suggested, and both parties being anN-
ious to trade, the bargain was closed
at once, and Ridgeway walked home,
having traded his horse for calf. IL

WILL TEST THE CASE.
MT. Gardiner Insists on Carrying Out
 His Water Contract.

A month ago the city council re- pealed franchise granted some years ago to J. J. Gardiner to construct and operate a water and sewerage system. The franchise was repealed by the council on the grounds that MT. Gardi- ner had not complied with the provis- ions of the franchise.
 MT. Gardiner maintained that he had not violated any of the conditions and yesterday placed a Mexican at work excavating on Third street for the pur- pose of laying a water pipe.
 The matter was reported to City At torney Evans, who at once had a war rant issued for the arrest of MT. Gar diner, Warren Gregory, who was in charge, and the Mexican. The charge alleged in the complaint was that of obstructing the streets.
 Both the principals were released under bonds in the sum of $25 each and the Mexican allowed to go on bonds of $5. The case will be tried in the police court some time during the week. It is the intention of Mr. Gardiner to fight the case to test the legality of the council in revoking his franchise.

HANSON SOCIETY ENTERTAINS.

The Lamson Literary society last night gave delightful entertainment at the college. The affair was an in formal one, being more of a business meeting of the society, followed by a short programme. Misses Ida and Rose Mognett, Jeanette Williams and Ida Smith individually rendered some very pretty instrumental solos, Frank Couch recited cleverly and the pro- gramme was concluded with debate on the subject: Has the American Negro Too Much Liberty?" The af- firmative was ably sustained by Messrs. Frank Curns and Norman Orme.' The former eloquently gave some word pie lures from his own observations in sup port of his theory. MT. Orme confined himself to statistics and warmed to his subject aggressively. George Kirk land and R. c. Stanford presented the negative side of the argument i'll a logical and convincing manner.

LOST ON THE DESERT.
Pathetic Story of the Sufferings of
 John Clark, Carpenter.

A haggard, emaciated man, the story of whose sufferings seems almost be- yond belief, was brought to the Tomb stone hospital the other day from the San Simon country. The experience of the man, who is a carpenter named John Clark, has been most pathetic one.
 Several weeks ago Clark, apparently an industrious, respectable fellow, was in Phoenix looking for work He failed to obtain employment, so he de- cided to steer eastward, to the home ot his friends. He was penniless and was obliged to try the brake-beam and box car mode of travelling.
 Far out on the desert between Bowie and another station, brakeman found Clark on the train, which was stopped for his ejectment in a lonely and dreary waste. He was without l water and food and after he had trav. | eled the ties until he was footsore anG disheartened he cut across to where ht thought he diScerned a ranch house il | the distance. Darkness overlook hin and in his search for the supposed AeshSiA hO ulolly OCCcuO uOpOlCSSly lOS in the heart of the barren waste Aftel several miserable days of wandering he found a seipage of water in a ravint and was enabled to quench his thirst
 Clark's only food during all of hi. trying experience was acorns and oal buds, and when finally discovered b, some cowboys he was a pitiful sight being half naked and delirious iron his sufferings.
 From his story, learned from hin after his mind had been restored b! food and drink, it appears that he hat been wandering on the desert almos two months and his only sustenanc, during that time were the acorns ant oak buds.
 Clark will be patient at the hospi tai long time.
