The PheniX Republican and the Prescott Courier are having a little newspaper spat. The Courier, re- plying to an article in the former paper, recently said
 "As for Mr. O'Neill, he is able to take care of himself. While he does not belong to our political faith, and while we have opposed him in every election and always supported the straight democratic ticket, we regard him as an independent and brave man, and if be has ever worn a corporation collar, We have never heard of it."
 The republican comes back at the Courier with the following:
 "The statement has never been denied, to our knowledge, that a year ago, at the Ysvapai democratic convention the foreman of the Courier, whose policy is that of the Courier's editor, sought to have the name of Buckley O'Neill substituted for that of Mark Smith ss the dem- ocratic nominee for delegate to con- gress, and that the editor of the Courier, who was present, did not object to the proposition. What about this, honest Mir. Homemakerf"

NEw YORK, Oct. I3.--E Evangelina Cassie Cisueros, who recently es
 eapcd from the Spanish prison in Cuba, was passenger on tho Ward line steamer Sonora which arrived today from Havana.
 Miss Gisneios' escape and safe aF- rival ca the Sonora was one of the most daring fsats eyer attempted aud successfully carried out. While still in prison, iIer friends secured a passport for "Janna Sala," and state room No. 3 ofI tho Sonora held in the same name. On Saturday, when the Sonora ytas to leave Havana, detectives watched her going with e1traeAution. Their vigilance would probably have, prevented the depar- turo of Miss Clsneros from Cuba had it not been for refreshments which were served them by friends of Miss Cisnaros aboard the ship. The refreshments included wine. The chief of police of Havana came aboard when the refreshment part of the plot was in progress, and he too .Sti a NAEtiHA tNl Aht Hiies or OteurfCe faction. feE minutes before the Sonora was ready to pull out from the dock, rim young follow came running across the wharf. He had nc bsggage and was fashionably dressed. lie walked quickly up the gang plank. The detectives stopped him, "my name IS Juan Sala,s he said, aud showed his passport. Eyerything was satisfactory, so the ssnor was allowed to go aboard. Mss Cisneros' friends, when they saw everything was satisfactory, dis embarked aud watched the ship pull slowly out under the frowning Spanish guns, carrying the fugitive safely under tbe Stars aud Stripes. Miss Cisneros iId not court danger any m0re than was necessary, and at ! once went to the cabin. Next day, when Morecasile was left far behind, ! she appesrei on deck transformed into SeHorita Juan Salo Alta Cassie ! } Cisneros and dressed in a becom- ing gown.

WAS IT VALID CONTRACT
The District Attorney Asked Co Institute Suit Against the Board of
 Supervisors

The Yavapai County Railroad anC Redemption bond case has taken s new turn. It will be remembered that an order was passed by the board January :, 1897, employin ing counsel to assist the district attor ney to defend the county in the suit instituted by Kitchen X Co. to recover the interest due on the un. paid coupons. By the terms of the contract SLIGO were to be paid down and $4,500 more were to be paid during the present year, with a further sum of $S,000 contingent on the suit being finally decided in favor of the county.
 4 few years ago Judge J. J. Flaw kins rendered a decision in Apache county, wherein T. w. Johnston sought to recover $500 for services rendered under a similar contract, that the board of supervisors had no authority to incur such an ex- pense to the county.
 An act passed by the legislature of 1893 provides that whenever any board of supervisors shall without authority of law order any money paid out of the county treasury, for salary, fees or for any other purpose, such supervisors and the party or parties in whose favor such order shall have been made, shall be responsible for all such sums of of money and twenty per cent addi- tional thereon"
 The act then provides that the district attorney of such county is empowered and it is made his duty to institute suit, Sc, for the recovery of the money.
 It provides further "that if any such district attorney shall for twenty days, after request made by any taxpayer of such county Tn writing fail to institute suit, then any taxpayer of such county may institute such suit in his or her own name," the conditions of such suit being provided for Tn such act.
 Under the provisions of this act a taxpayer of tho county yesterday StTFtu Nlltltu hObtSC Oh Nhc AAoNAANe attorney asking him to institute such suit at once for the recovery of the money paid on the above con tract and to enjoin the board against the payment of any further sum on such contract. A copy of written notice was also sent to each of the three members of the board of supervisors and to the ex-member. In the notice sent the allegation IS made that the sui. of Kitchen x Co. for the defense of which the con tract was enter, d into aud for which the appropriation was made, has been dismissed and no service has been rendered to the county, in ad- dition to citing the case decided by Judge Hawkins to the effect that boards of supervisors have no au- thority to make such contracts.
 Ii at the expiration of the twenty days the district attorney fails to institute the suit, the above men toned taxpayer proposes to insti 70 tute it at his own expense, m the name of the county, as provided for in the above act.

 Wlfe'a Money.

The coroner received telegram yesterday from W. Walker, of Pres colt, Ariz., stating that Walkers wife had died suddenly at No. 2i0 Sau Pedro street, this city, on We'd nesday afternoon.

 Coroner Campbell found that the woman, who was colored, died at tho time stated. Mrs. Hughes, the proprietor of the house where Mrs. Walker died, said that Mrs. Walker, in company with a little girl named Jessie Smith, came to her house two weeks ago. She routed room for Sl.50 per week. aud, with the little girl, lived economically. Only x9, she sverred, had been found in the room when Mrs. Walker died, and tho coroner's search failed to reveal any further amount In the dead wonlan's trunks he found threo watches, several deeds to property in Arizona, and an insurance policy.
 A Miss Cole, who lives in the same house, informed the coroner that Mrs. Walker had told her when she came that she Mrs. WalkeE) had left Arizona with SI00.

She complained constantly of feeling Ill, and Dr. Sykes who was called in at the time of her death, gave a certificate attributing her demise to pulmonary consump- tion.

A PRESCOTT rsvEsrIoS.
A Bicycle Guide which Promises to Dc Beon to whesInaen and a Fortune
 To It's IhventaFa.


 Prescott promises to come into 1 national prominence soon, on ac- count of recent invention of two of her citizens. The inventors who are likely to thus bring the town into such renown are E. J. Austin and Robert Brow, their invention being bicycle guide. While the former was camped at the Last Chance mine last winter he con- esived the idea and worked 1t ont to partial solution when Mir. Bow was taken into the secret and the two worked forthree or four months improving on the original principle until at last they succeeded in getting a perfect attachment and one which promises to become indis. pensable on every wheel.
 They have secured patents on it in the United States. Great BritSia and Canada, and parties who have seen 1t pronounce it first class in vention. Two of the most noted wheelmen in the United Stated have examined it and frankly state that the bicycle has never heretofore been complete without this attach ment and wonder why it has not been thought of long since.
 The guide is adjustable to any make of wheel and can be placed on it in few minutes. Its object is to steady the wheel, not only making 1t easy to learn to ride but gives 2 steady motion to the wheel, under an expert rider. The wheel with this attachment on can be guided by simply swaying the body, and rider can shoot from the wheel, smoke or do almost anything, as the guide gives the rider perfect control of the wheel without the use of the handle bars, except to make sudden turns.
 Having secured their patents, the inventors have contracted with a firm in Connecticut for the manu- facture of 1000 guides, the first of which will be completed the latter part of this month or the first of November, when they will be placed on the market for sale.
 Prescott would be the last place in the United States probably where an invention of this kind would be to emanate from, IS there are few towns in the country with as few bicycles in proportion 10 the owing to the mountain Ous country surrounding the town. It Is also peculiar fact that neither of the two persons who made the have ever ridden a wheel.
