A CASE OF CONTEMPT.
A Reporter Who Sought to Influ ance
 Court.

newspaper man narrowly escaped the necessity of being purged of con- tempt of court yesterday T. E. Tolan was on trial in Justice John stones court for misappropriating property amounting to about $80. In the midst of the proceedings, while Judge Kibbey, assistant district at torney, was delivering fervent plea recommending the commitment of Tolan to jail to await the action of the grand jury, Walter Gregory. city editor of the Gazette, entered the room by a rear door and handed an addressed envelope to the justice.
 Col Johnstone directed Judge Kib- bey to suspend his argument, and he tore the letter open. It's contents were: "Col Johnstone-Dear Sir: It is curre8tly reported on the street that a rumor has reached you that the defendant, Tolan, is a democrat and that in consequence you have de- termined to hold him to the grand jury"
 Justice Johnstone tore the envelope open and read the missive. His usually impassive face began to take on color and in a moment became inflamed. He handed the letter to Judge Kibbey, who on reading it angrily asked that an attachment be issued for MT. Gregory, who had presented it. The attachment was not issued immedi- ately and later in the day during the examination Mir. Gregory appeared in court accompanied by friend who in terceded with the justice and assist ant district attorney in behalf of him,

MARK SMITH IN TOWN.
His Views on Legislation and Political
 Events.

Hon. Marcus IA. Smith, delegate to congress, who has ia.ely returned from Washington to his home at Tue son, came to Phoenix yesterday. He Is stopping at the Commercial hotel. In a conversation with a Republican reporter last night MT. Smith said among other things, that h. Spelieve1 no obstacle would be prt tlenAed in congress to the approval of thel leanitol bill passed by the late legislature. He would introduce the subject at the earliest possible moment.
 Regarding legislation generally, MT. Smith said: "I believe the session will be short, the last extraordinary session so thoroughly covered the ground that apparently little remains Ito be done. Still, you cannot tell. That reminds me of my friend, Brooks, of the New York Herald. During a short session his paper telegraphed him asking him when in his opinion the session would come to an end. Brooks ln a moment of felicitat on Ie. piled: It will certainly end on March A. The same night he received the following dispatch from the Herald: You are too good a constitutional lawyer Ito be frittering your time away in the newspaper business The Her aid will release you at once and secure a less talented person."
 lRegardlng the elections, MT. Sm-t believes the returns are. an expression in favor of free silver, especially in Greater New York, where Coler. the most pronounced Bryanite. defeated Ashbel P. Fitch, the most pro- nounced gold standard man, for comp troller by majority of 10000, the largest received by any democratic candidate. "Fitch's political career said MT. Smith, "has been curious and checkered. He came to congress as a republican with an overwhelm ng ma jority. He was returned as a Tam many man with an equally large ma jority. Last year he became a gold bug at a time and place when and where everything seemed favorable to his political fortune
 MT. Smith will remain in town until tonight. His friends will be pleased to learn that Mrs. Smith, who has been feeble for several years, Is i'm much better health !.

A MURDER AT MESA.
The Dead Body of Hobo Found Yes
 , terday Morning

There was evidently a murder at Mesa on "Wednesday night. The body of a man, alfterward identified as that of Andy Grant, hobo, was fou d early in the morning in the rear of John X. Jones' winery near the linn it's of the village. A coroner's in quest, conducted by Justice POmeroy, was held upon the body in the after noon. The testimony was confusing, but showed conclusively in a gene al way that the Mesa wine is provocative of homicide. On Tuesday night there was a terrific fight at the winery, in which a young man named Dana, John Riggs, Henry Steele and Claude Young were more or less severely handled by the hOboS.
 What happened that night nobody knows exactly. There was trouble at the winery. Dana, Riggs, Steele and others were engaged in a game of billiards. They were accosted by sev- eral hobos, who asked them how much money they had. The question led to a quarrel, during which th7 lights were turned out and billiard cues and beer bottles were used with painful effect and the hobos were left in possession of the field.
 Of what happened the next and fatal night still less is known, and what little has been obtained is gath cred from the testimony of Claude Young at the inquest. He said he was on his way home that night, following Henry Steele and John Riggs, who were on horseback. As they were passing the residence of M. J. Forster, Mrs. Forster called to them to come in. She said she was frightened by the quarrel ing on at the winery. They went in. This was in the early part of the evening and this fact is important, for the quarrel in which the killing is sup posed to have occurred took place con- siderably later. Young said he saw the last fight. There was a comming- ling of beer bottles and other weapons and he saw Grant running toward the rear of the winery, where his body was afterward found
 The wounds consisted, by the way, Of broken nose, a confusion on each cheek and one over eacn eye. The physicians, Drs. Bright and Drane, testified that the wounds must have been made by hard weapon, like beer bottle.

GET THE BEST.

Every live business man knows that cheap advertising is always the dear est. If you have someth ng good to place before the public put it where it can be seen and give it some mag netic qualities. The same rule ap- plies to communities that have some thing good to sell or give away. Cheap pamphlets, misf1t souvenirs and pri- vate puffs find their proper goal in the waste basket, but a piece of lit erature, like volume of the Treas ure Land' series, is read with inter est and prized as standard work It is handed around and placed on li- brary shelves, and does not lose it's value for years.
