Zellner of Whte Oaks N. M, will run a match race with Tempe's favorite S-year-old, Kid, who is owned by Charles Williams. The purse is $500, one-haf being put up by each horse. Fiddle is supposed to be IS years old, but, really, she Is older than the records, and her st ong point lies not in her age, but in her running power and wind. A good deal of money will go up on the side, and so far as the Salt River valley is con- cerned, at least, the interest is very keen. The race will be exciting and a large attendance is promised

MESA KILLING CASE.
Riggs Tells How Grant, the Hobo,
 Came to Die.

The evidence in the case of Steele, Riggs and Daily may be gotten in to- day The prosecution finished yester- day afternoon and Riggs, one of the defendants. was put on the stand. Most of the testimony put in by the territory yesterday was formal, re- lating to the character of Grants wounds as described by Dr. Wylie ot Phoenix and Dr. Brack of Mesa. They testified that the wounds were sufi- cient to cause death.
 John Pomeroy, justice of the peace and the acting coroner in this case, was also on the stand. The most dam aging testimony was given by Deputy Sheriff Slankard, who said that after the arrest of the boys they told him where they would find club and other implements of war employed in the fatal fight. This evidence was all the more damaging since it is calculated to destroy theory advanced by Riggs . when he was put om the sand. He and the other defendants, he said, went to the winery, not impelled by revenge, but at the request of Mrs. M. J. Forster, who lived across the road and had been annoyed, if not ac- tually frightened, by the noise made by the hobos inspired by Jones' youthful, uncultured and enliyening wine The idea was to drive them away from the winery and altogether cut of the country.
 The hobos had taken refuge in a haystack and refused to come out of it. At length one of them was dragged out, thrown down and beaten with a small piece of board. He was a stranger, whose name has been for gotten in the midst of the more tragic things that happened to Grant. He too, was dragged out, and falling, his head came in violent contact with a cultivator which a farm hand with almost criminal careIessness had left there over night. It does not appear from the testimony of Riggs than Grant had been assaulted with any

1t Occupies Time in the House In Spite Of an Agreement to Post- pone It's Consideration-A New Immixration Measure.

Washington, Dec 1.-The sanata was in session just fifteen minutes today, the adjournmeick being until tomorrow, out of respect to President Mckinley, who is today in attendance upon the funeral of his mother. The motion to adjourn was made by MT. Hoar of Massachusetts. "All the sen ators," said he, fare awed by the great calamity that has overtaken the chief magistrate of the nation. He is today in attendance upon the funeral Of his mother. Out of respect to him and as an expression of sympathy for him in his affliction, move that the senate do now adjourn No business beyond the introduction of bills and resralu- tionS was transacted.
 Among the bills Introduced was one. by Mr. Kyle of South Dakota, to change the immigration laws eff the United States. He gave notice that hat the proper time he would offer the bill as a substitute for that which is now pending before the senate. The bill provides that all immigrants shall have their test of education made by the United States consuls at onts nearest to their homes. It is a seri- ous hardship for these people to cross the ocean with a prospect storing them in the face of failing in the test at the port of a foreign country. This feeling of stage fright doubtless so seriously affects many of them that they are unable ito do themselves jus tice i'm reaching the prescribed regu- lations of the constitution of the United States.

It was decided to postpone consideIa- ton of that clause providing for the maintainamce of the civil service com mission until after the other features of the bill had been concluded.
 It was apparent from remarks made by member that the entire subject will be exhaustiNely debated. There is seemingly no disposition to curtail the discussion and it is probable it will not Joe concluded before the holiday recess.
