Messrs. ProtO have taken to the dis trict court the water case decided against them on behalf of Robert and Wm. J. Ekey, by Justice Harrison. Wednesday Judge Rouse, in the ab- sence of Judge Bethune, who is ill, issued from the district court at Tue son awrit of certiorari. The plaintiffs got judgment for sl0 and costs, amounting to $40. The grounds upon which the application for the writ was made are several. but the chief one was that the judgment being for less than S20 the'applieants were prevent cd from taking an appeal. They con tended in the first place that the right to the canal was really involved in the suit, a property of the value of several thousand dollars, and that therefore the case was never within the jurls- diction of a justice of the peace. It is also said that the case was irregularly brought before the justice by whom it was tried Having been taken on a change of venue from Judge Taylor's court, in which suit was brought, it should have been transferred to the court of the nearest justice.

A pipe line seven miles long is under construction, and with that completed there will be water sufficient to handle i50 tons of ore daily.

The Land Grant scttIed.

The supreme court of the United States has finally rendered a decision in the Nogaies grant case, and the grant is now not worth the paper in which it was written. The first inti- nation came Monday evening in a telegram from Judge W. II. Barnes to Jos. Pascholy, stating that the dis patches in the Tucson Citizen had re- ported the grant knocked out. Later in the evening came telegram from Matt G. Reynolds, attorney for the people, to Louis Proto, chairman of the committee of Nogales property owners, conveying the same pleasing intelligence.
 Everyone is relieved at the receipt of this welcome news. With titles as- sured there is now an inducement for improvement of property, and it will gradually result in a marked change in the appearance of the town.

nations and artistic decorations made a picture of fairy land long to be re- memDered
 The masked ball at the Chisem resi- dence on Tuesday evening was d it. ting climax to the pleasures of the season. The scene was as in the ball of Sunday night but the acts varied. The fun began with the entrance of the maskers-abcut fifty of the young ladies each clad in white dominoes and masks all Of the same style and color, making the wearers undistfn- guishable in their ghost like ralment, and for an hour and a half. as the la- dies adopted leap year privileges pre- vious to unmasking the gentlemen were kept guessing and many of them are guessing still. It was pretty sight and summed up in remayk made by one present--an American who said to one of the ladies of Guaymas: Madam, have attended many functions in my own country, many where the halls were grander, the decorations more lavish and ex- pensive, but never one in which the general effects were more pleasurablc than the picture which we are looking at tonight. It is credit to Guaymas and her people," and the latter phrase might well be applied to the entire carnival.
 Later in the evening came the cas- carones with their attendant fun;a and when the last quadrille was danced at 5;30 the following morning the guests departed with unanimous opinion as to the success and pleasure of the oc- casiOn.
 A list of the guests would be too ex- tended. Besides the notable and rep resentatiye people of Guaymas were many from Hermosillo, also ST. Ramon Corral Governor of the State, General Escobedo, Senator Redo, c. II. Doug las and many others.
 The refreshment department was well conducted under the personal su- peryision of Sefor Marchebout.

GUAYMAS' CARNIVAL.
A Short Account of the Festivities at the
 Sonora Metropolis.


 Sonora Metropolis.
 Tie carnival at Guaymas this year from the opening procession Sunday afternoon until the closing dance of the grand ball Of Tuesday night was an emphatic success and much credit is due to the committee who so sue cessfuly carried through the entire programme.
 The festivities began Sunday after noon, February 10th, at about three o'clock, with a procession of carriages all gaily and tastefully decorated with flowers and palm branches. The pro- cession formed at the depot and passed through the principal streets and around the plaza. It was headed by the carriage driven by Don Luis A. Martinez. Ills equipage was literally bower of roses-the beauty of the outfit was only eclipsed by the beauty of the occupants and every onlooker enyied Don Luis and his charge. This carriage was only one of many gaily decorated vehicles, and although some were not embellished with the same profusion the occupants were just as pretty and consequent effect as strik- ing.
 Among the unique features of the procession and one that caused much amusement was the turnout of MT. Redo as master of Roman ?lchariot drawn by--it is hard to say what as the animals were apparently of myth ological origin and represented noth- ing in the "heavens above, the earth beneath or the waters under the earth" His triumphant course was attended by sundry explosions more or less terrific produced by seeming ly endless supply of Chinese crackers.
 The memorable day closed with a a grand ball at the house of MT. Peter B. Chisem who kindly placed his resi- dence at the disposal of the merry makers. The spacious corridors were beautifully decorated with palms and bunting, the flags of all nations hay ing been kindly loaned for the oc- cassion by the commanders of the var ious war vessels in the harbor. At the broad entrance of the house the flags of Unsle Sam and Mexico were gracefully blended and in the place of honor in the main hall the same com bination was noted
 The orchestra was placed in the right corridor out of the way of the dancers willie the band of the 12th Regt., in front of the house played se- lections during the intermiSsion.
 The dancing commenced at ten o'clock in the evening and was kept up until five o'clock the following morning.
 It is impossible in the space at com mand to describe the many brilliant costumes worn by the participants they were all tasteful and well select ed and taken with the brilliant illum-

offered the victor Although the contest was
limited to ten rounds, there was hardly a
spectator in the pavilion tonight who did
not expect to see one or the other of the
fighters go down to defeat before the full
limit of the fight had been reached. The
men themselves evidently expected the same.
Fitzsimmons and his trainers were conf
dent that Sharkey would be put out in from
one to five rounds and Sharkey expressed
every confidence that he would defeat FitZ-
simmons within seven rounds. The betting
public naturally leaned toward the man OF
experience and the odds in Fitzsimmons'
favor averaged about 2R to l. in some few
cases going as high as to /, but just before
the hight started, the prevailing odds were
about 20 to .. There was no lack of Sharkey
money at these figures and many bets were
offered at even money and accepted that
Fitzsmmons would put his man out within
six rounds.
