Tempe is quiet but the country round
about is engaged in the busy rustic Of
farm life that makes this country what
it is. Crops loos promising and hay
harvest is rushing. The fact that the
old crop of hay was entirely disposed of
before the new crop came in should have
tendency to keep prices up to legiti-
mate figure.

The Territory vs. J G Gonzales was
the official title of cause tried by
Justice Oarley and jury yesterday
afternoon, in which the defendant was
accused Of INDUCING in language dis
graceful TO the state and offensive to
the ears of his wife and mother. II
appeared from the testimony that
family matters were in q deplorsble
condition; that the white winged dove
Of peace could not disburse harmony in
sufficient quantities 80 obviate the re-
action from q natural inoomp8tability
IF temperament. The defendants there
lore when working under high pressure
sometimes blew out the cylinder heads ,
much TO the perturbation and disoon- {
Ient Of interested relatives with whom
le came in contact. Is was evident I
hat something ought to be done and in
he sbsencs OF more vigorous measures 6
b was decided to punish the defendant
or the questionable quality OF mis- Ian G
,usge. The complaining witnesses, r
lowever, did not oare to ternish theI :
God name of the accused so they were
little weak in their Remuneration. The
ury decided not to mix for the present q
nd returned a verdict of not guilty. +
