a good practice for the Doctor and sat- isfaction for the patients.
 The world is full of trouble and even the good people of the south side get their share. In travelling the troub loue path of life we frequently come to a place where the road forks, and with the best intentions in the world scms of us will always turn the wrong way, but unfortunately there are times when it is hard to find out W hich path is the right one. Man Is prone to look out for his own interests fret and let his neighbor take care of himself. A caee of this kind developed in Tempe yeeter
 day, and while all concerned have FiRhte
 shat are entitled to consideration, it seems as though howeter it may be de- cided some one will have to suffer. The southern branch of the Tempe canal furnishes water to the csnsiRre
 fields and number of small ranches ss
 we'll as stock and pasture water for some ot the leading cettlemen and al tslfs Paiesrs. At this season of the year, in order to supply ample water for the canaigre fields and those at she lower end. the canal needs cleaning. At least such seems to be the opinion of Messre. J. E Price and NJ Worm ser, two of the three canal directors, and who are interested in the oanaigre fields. Accordingly Mr. Price placed a sspoon near the head of the ditch two OF three days ago. In the night follow ing 1t was removed by some person or persons seemingly unknown 50 the pub lie. Next day the sepoon was replaced and an officer put in charge. Yester- dsy the canal was dry enough to clean and MT. Price put force of men at work. Meanwhile the osttlemsn had been thinking up their case and method of sction. They clsim that the raachers along the canal engaged in alfalfa raising and pasture renting are entitled to water when it is there ready for delivery. They say that past ex- perieuce has taught them that it takes about two weeks to clean the ditch dur ing which time their pasture would sui fer greatly and stock would either die OF lose the accumulated flesh of the season and that they were already feel ing the effects of the artificial dTouth and some had already begun moving theiF stock to other portions of the val ley at an expense to themselves and loss to the FencheFs. Accordingly last even c M Mullen representing the interests of Hogan, w A Bolton, MF. Jacobson and Mr. Collins the agent ot MT. V. Cant wentup and egsin removed the tspoon allowing the water to pass down the canal. Mir. Price then had them arrested and they in the meantime had sworn out warrant for MT. Pfice's ar rest. This brings all concerned into court where the matter will probably bs settled. There was more OF less werliks demonstration yesterday and some talk of personal encounters but better judgmsn prevailed ss all ars seeking their rights rather than noto- Riety OF trouble.
 From Thursdays Daily.
 MP. George N. Gage has returned from Prescott.
 Charlie Mullen will ship two carloads of cattle to R. W. Maxwell, San Ber- nsrdino, tonight.
 Messrs. Mullen, Bolton, Jacobson and Collins were released yesterday as the officer making the arrests failed to se- cure warrants OF further prosecution.
 There was big raise in the river last night but it at once began falling again. Enc Phoenix stage was delayed bhis morning and did not gst in till about noon.
 There have been several csses of tpidip9 importance in the local courts lately. The Justice mills are grinding pretty regularly but there is too much chsff in the grain to make much of grist.
 The cattle men got en Injunction yes- teRdey restraining the Tempe Canal, south branch, directors from cleRning l their ditch. Fearing that the law | alone was not strong enough they exer- 1 oised their pull with the weather seF- VAOc ob0 BOb O t0IhoSOLtA sbob 5osplCo l the whole business for the present.
 The militia company will hold its reg 1lar weekly meeting tonight when the | work of rejovensting will continue. | There are several applicants for mem oershlp and the future is promising. During she absence of Capt. W. B. Mullen Lieut.. o. ". Miller is in com- nsnd.
 The eKcursionists that letb here last night for the coast aEe still here. They efo all right, but they came back. They ound the bridge over Lake Kyrene had ,een washed out. Lake Kyrene is s ,ery quIet, well behaved bit of country D dry weather, but it is ss turbulent .nd dangerous as the, headwete of the Znkon when it storms. Aud the pe- uliar part of it Ia that it never storms xceps when somebody wants to travel l hat way.
