Doctors Disagree Over the

The Woman Supposed to Be Mrs. Luetgert Seen at kenosha, Wis. -Has at Last Been Unearthed By Chicago Police.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-The seventh week of the Luetgert trial opened with P.o- lessor Eckley, of the college of phg gsi- clans and surgeons of Chicago, on the stand for cross examination in con- necticn with the identification of Northwestern medical college briefly examined the temporal bone introduced by the state and emphatically declared that it was not the temporal bone of a human being. He also stated that the femur shown him was not that of a human being.
 One of the incidents of the trial was the saving of temporal bone by Dr.. Diess in the presence Of the attorneys in the anteroom. The surgeons were slow and Judge Tuthill growing i'm patient, sent a bailiff after them, say ing: Those fellows have been out there long enough to saw a cord of wood" The battle of the bones waged all day, one set of experts disputing the identifcations and theories of others
 There is a rumor to the effect that woman has been found at Lincoln, H., who will go on the witness stand and testify that she was the woman seen by the police and others at Ke- nosha, Wis, on May 8, and 5. Cap tain Schuetter had a talk with this woman on Sunday.

A PHOENIX OPERA HOUSE.
A Temple of Amusement at First Av-
 enue and Adams.

Phoenix is now nearer having a mc1arn opera house than ever before. Last spring J. L. Wilson, the Prescott merchant, bought a tract of ground at the northwest corner of Adams street and First avenue, fronting on Ad- ans. Since then Mayor w. o. O'Neill of Prescott has become interested in the investment and arrangements have been made for the erection of a building extending from First av- enue to the lately completed Padgett building. The plans for it have al ready been prepared by a firm of Los Angeles architects. The money for the construction of the building is said to have been already secured, the final arrangements having been made during the late visit of General O'Nein to Phoenix. A part of the building at least will be three stories, and per haps all of it. The style of architec- ture shown in the plans is ornate and modern.

eff the advertisement and put his barn in it's former virgin state. The show people declined to talk with him on the ground that that was their busy day, they had more important business to attend to and they began giving directions about driving tent poles and doing other things. MT. Leitch returned to town and insti- tuted attachment proceedings in Jus tice Johnstcne's court to secure a claim of $50. The bovalapus was named in the writ as an animal upon which that amount could likely be realized, since bovalupuses or boval- api are so scarce that they are valu- able. The writ was made out in Jus tice Johnstcne's own hand and was given Captain Fly Mcdonald to serve. Justice Johnstone never was a Spen- cerian writer and he isn't as good and legible writer as he used to be before so many offices, county, terri
 torial and ecclesiasticaa, were in- f1icted upon him. Captain Mcdonald Is not a handwriting expert, SC it is not unnatural that he should have at tached the cal1iope
 When the captain made his return there was consternation on all sides MT. Leftch had no use for a calliope and couldn't sell it. He had the writ changed so it would include a couple of horses. A show representative
 came forward and put tip $50 with enough more to pay the probable costs 1 The president of the Phoenix Bil

San Francisco, Oct. 4.-Solly Smith of Los Angeles was given a decision over George Dixon of Boston in a twenty-round fight tonight. The match was virtually for the championship of the featherweight class, and Smith is now at the top. The fight was not a remarkably fast one, the men taking no chances except in two or three rounds, when Dixon essayed to force matters. Smith, however, who has greatly improved since he last met Dixon, had all the better of the in fighting, using his right with effect both On the body and head
 Smith was cool throughout the fight and came out without a mark Of any kind. His blocking and ducking Of Dixon's leads were features of the fight and kept him out of harms way.

WHOSE SHOW IS IT?
How Mir c. P Leitch Acquired an
 Interest in the Main Circus

Whether the show in town yester- day belonged to Walter L. Main or ex-Territorial Auditor c. P. Leitch was subject of legal controversy yesterday afternoon, which came about iii the following way: MT. Leitch owns ranch five miles west of town. Just before he left for his former Ohio home a month ago he had a fine barn 1 built with a frontage Of fifty feet 1n the road side, finished in smooth blamed redwood lumber, with numer- ous doors for the exit and entrance of the horses, and numerous windows for ventilation. On the comple- tion of the building Mir Leitch con- : it yesterday morning for the first time i since his return. The frontage was covered with an ornate and well i worded advertisement of Walter L. Mains menagerie and circus, the portrait of the bovalapus, or amphibious, man-eating mon ster, predominating. The posters were so carefully and securely ad- l justed that neither doors nor aper- lures of ventilation were apparent. MT. Leitch's horses had to go out the back { way to get their drinks, their recrea- ! tiOn and their breath.
 | MT. Leitch has colored caretaker named Gravelly on the ranch. He ! oC1y yr1 1,i
 1 GraVelly said that they had been most 1 ly put on in his absence, but that he i came home just as the work was being i finished. He raised aa objection on the part Of MT. Leitch, but the adver- Using agent told him MT. Main would square it with the owner. Simulta- neous with MT. Leitchs arrival in l frcnt Of his mutilated barn a lot of Indians came fro mthe other direction and began looking around for the entrance, under the impression that the show was to be given there. MT
 Leitch and Gravelly finally got them to understand that the seat of the circus, menagerie, bovalapus and all was in Phoenix. The Indians were at length persuaded to move on OF the
 representation that the doors would close at noon and those who presented i themselves after that date would be excluded from the entertainment. MT
 Leitch followed the Indians and hunt ed up the show manager, who offered

4 DAY WITH THE CIRCUS.
Which Overshadowed the Menagerie
 Feature

Walter L. Mains show was a very craditable entertainment. It did not run so much to menagerie as it did to circus, which, after all, is what most people go to shows for. As a circus, it is one Of the best that ever visited Phoenix
 The show got in late on account of an accident to one of the cars, so that the street parade was postponed three hours, in the course of which hund- reds of people who had made long journey across the desert got tired of waiting and became fault finding. But when the parade came it was worth waiting for. The most noticeable feature of the parade and the only one in which it differed from the av- craze parade was the excellent condi- tion and quality of the horses. There was a wild jam when the show was gating in the hot sun about the entrance for hours. One red faced woman was squeezed and crushed UnrOuSn the JICk6L Udher 5 IeuL WlIu child in her arms crying. She came out into an open space, no canopy over the menagerie department, and i'm agined that the whole of the show was 1 before her. 'tThis," said she, ''is the darndest fake in the shape of a show I ever saw.' The animals were not
 great in variety or species, but they l were well kept. The bovalapus was unlike anything that majority of the spectators had ever seen, its trucu ! lent appearance and savage low gave
 an appearance of truth to the repre- i sentations of the show bills.
 1 But if any one was dissatisfied with 1 the animals his dissatisfaction was l dissipated when he got into the circus | The performances were many new i and all were marvellous. The lion l equestrian was a center of interest. The sideshows were in full bloom
 There was no gambling, no skin games l of any sort. The management was | gentlemanly, the employees polite, and 1 altogether the impression left behind
 by the show was favorable.
