for use, the station at Jefferson and

DISREGARDED A SUBPOENA
w. s. Lynn Must Go to Oakland on
CONTEMPT Proceedings

G. A. Coch, deputy constable from
Oakland, arrived here yesterday after
w. S. Lynn, a colored man, who was ar
rested by the local officers on telegram
from the north. The case against Lynn
is rather peculiar one. He was for
merly employed at the United States
mint. A few weeks ago he decided to
move to this city, but after his goods
were all packed up and his tickets pur-
chased for his family, he received
subpoena to appear as a witness in a
civil suit Of trivial character, involv-
ing the matter Of S27.50. Lynn either
forgot about the subpoena or disre-
garded it. A bench warrant was issued
for him and he was brought into court
on contempt proceedings and locked up
in Jail pending his hearing.
While in Jail Lynn's wife called upon
Judge Cliff, who had issued the bench
warrant and was, it is claimed told that
her husband would be sentenced to six
months in Jail. When this was learned
Lynn had his friends come before Judge
Allen, an associate judge, who agreed to
admit him to bail in the sum Of 5000
Lynn's friends put UP the money and aa
soon as he got out of Jail he boarded the
Mariposa, which was about to sail, and
came to Los Angeles, only to be arrested
here on a telegraphic warrant which had
preceded him. Now Lynn. will have TO
go back and there seems to be no end Of
trouble before him. The officer who
came down after the prisoner says that
the man is highly respected in Oakland
and the consensus Of opinion Is that he
Is a much abused man and that his
trouble has resulted rather from mis-
take than from any intent to do wrong

whittier 1t had sunk. But there are
others, more liberal in their views, who
contend that the appointment should
be outside of politics; that Hughes has
deep interest in the university, and that,
politics aside, he Is personal friend of
McCord, and one who did as much as a
Democrat could do to secure McCord's
appointment. But it is fact that the
appointment has created friction.
THE LAST CALL
Tuesday is the last day on which rail-
way exemption notices may be filed, to
secure to the roads the benefit Of the
fifteen years release from taxation per-
mitted to new railroads that shall COM
mence construction in Arizona within
year from the passage of the act. The
notices had to be filed in six months,
and that time expires Tuesday. If all
the railroads projected shall be con-
structed, Arizona will be gridironed as
we'll as Illinois. There is every assur-
ance that at least half a dozen Of these
projected roads will be built.
All things considered, with the con-
struction of new canals and new rail-
ways, with the development Of natural
resources and the improvement of nat
ural conditions, with higher prices for
her products and added. capital for her
mines, it cannot be considered too optim-
istic to predict that the winter will brin &
to Arizona the highest degree Of pros
perity ever enjoyed by her.

In San Francisco there were 2S1 real
estate sales in August, amounting to
$S56,058, and the report comes from that
city of increased inquiries for small
properties and of the same condition of
affairs as exists here with regard to in
vestment properties.
THE CHICAGO MARKET
Reports from Chicago, where the real
estate market has been in a very dis
couraging condition for some time, that
there is good ground for the opinion that
the bottom has been touched, and that in
the course OF year or two, some activ-
ity may be seen and that there
is slight turn for the bet
ter already. Ii view of the large
amount of Chicago capital that has been
invested in Los Angeles the condition of
affairs in that city in matter OF more
than common interest here.
The Economist says:
"It is not too much to expect that consid.
cradle increase In certain lines Of bushes ss
will be shown this fall and that next spring
the trade will be fairly satisfactory. While
the market has been getting deeper and
deeper into its depression the population of
the city has been increasing, capitalists

gency. liquidation has been strengthening
the general situation and confidence has
returned to certain extent with the re-
vival in other lines of business. Pretty
soon the great mass of the people will have
some money laid by and they will want
to purchase lots. Thus the market will
grow little by little, and we shall get back
to a normal trade. No such chaos has ex-
listed here or will exist as that which fol-
lowed the panic of 1873, nor will the process
of recuperation be the -drawn-out
agony of those years. but q real estate
market is slow market, and to talk of
the recovery that is coming as one would
talk Of boom in stocks or a great lift
inwheat is to talk foolishly.
