ANOTHER HOLD-UP.
A Victim a Young Woman Frightened
 Perhaps, Beyond Recovery.

The ,third of a series of hold-ups near Phoenix wflthin the last week occurred on Sunday night. 1t was attended by possibly something worse than a fla tality, for one of the victims, a young woman, has mot recovered iher reason and 1t Is feared that it is permanently unsettled The hold-up took place at half past eight o'clock, quarter of a mile this side of the insane asylum and not far from the point at which J. E. Stovall was niobbed last week.
 William Railing, an attendant at the asylum, and Minnie Babby, who, with her father is also employed at the asy- Ilm, left the inst titutiCn shortly be fore half past eight to accompany Gertie Babby, a younger sister, to tihe home of her parents a half mile dis tant They went down the asylum grounds inside a hedge fence. When they reached the conner and turrel out into the road two men with handkerchiefs tied over their faces sprang from the hedge and holding revolvers at Railing's head, ordered him to throw up his hands. He did SO, but the girls screamed and ran. The younger ran only a short distance before she fell screaming Railing ran to her side and the highwaymen dis appeared The girl called the name of Thomas King, whose house was on the opposite of the road. Without stopping to put on his shoes MT. King ran out and found Railing and the de- mented girl.
 She was still screaming, 'fOh, make them take off the handkerohiefsv 'fOh, don't let them hurt mer'

CHIEF JUSTICE STREET,
The Oath Administered and Work Begun.

After long, but unavoidable period of idleness business was resumed in district court yesterday morning. Lo2g before 10 o'clock, the hour to which court had been adjourned by Commissioner Orenshaw, the court room was filed Among the audience were many ladies who had come ito witness tihe administration of the oath of office to Chief Justice Street.. Soon after 10 o'clock Justice John stone, who had been selected for that office, entered the room followed by the chief justice. The caremony was impressive, but short, after which the new chief justice made a brief, but pleasing address. At its close the ladies rose to go, for nothing remained now but musty matters of law, Judge Street having expressed wish that the demonstration arranged before hand might be dispensed with. As the ladies passed out they shook ha-ds with the judge, cong. atulating him upon his elevation.
 As soon as the judge was seated the business of calling tha civil calendar was begun. When it was flnfshsd a1 order was entered for a grand jury to be impanelled next Monday. It will be drawn today.
 The committee appointed at the last bar meeting to draft resolutions of respect in tihe matter of the death ct the late Chief Justice Truesdale was expected to meet at Baker & Alexan- der's office at 4 o'clock yesterday af- ternoon and report in open court to- | day The meeting was, however, postponed.

BUCKEYE LITIGATION.

 lawsuit. A lawsuit is to a re-
 rural community what a presi- tial inauguration or a heavy gffA prize fight is to the nation at Ege- This litigation was the action of J. K. Wood against E. A. Tovrea for damages effected in the course of depredations by a drove of hogs upon the agricultural belongings of the plaintiff. The defendant is a resi- dent of Phoenix. The hogs were held in reserve in the Buckeye region, des- timed for the Phoenix market. But all this has been already explained. The parties to the Litigation met in Jus tice Micthell's court early on Saturday morning. The defendant was repre- scented by GeoTge P. Bullard of Phoe- nix and the plaintiff by Moses B. Clan ton, who brought into the case not only the skill of a trained lawyer, but also the zeal of a neighbor and the patriotism of a resident Of Buckeye. Proceedings were begun by the read ing of the following comp aint by the plaintiffs attorney:
 'In the Justice Court of Buckeye Pre-
 
 of Arizona. J. K. Wood plain if vs. E. A. Tovrea, defendant.
 'fNow comes the plaintiff and alleges in his complaint the following allega- tions: That defendants hogs tres passed upon the lands of the plaintiff and destroyed the crops belonging to the plaintiff, to-wit: Eighteen acres of sorghum, worth s90; ? acres oi sweet potatoes, worth $50; 3 acres oi corn and pumpkins, worth S21; one ~e of watemelons, worth $50; dam- ages done to fifteen acras of alfalfa $20. all of which is contrary to thG statutes made and provided for. Plain tiff prays judgment for damages in the sum of S230, together with al costs that have accrued and that may accrue in bringing this action.

 Q--How many acres of sorghum had you?
 A.-Eighteen.
 Q.-It was destroyed?
 A.-Yes.
 Damage was about $a0?
 A-Yes.
 The defense tried to prove CT dis prove nothing.
 In his opening argument MT. Clan ton painted a brilliant word picture of the Buckeye country until it was laid waste by the defendants hogs, which, like all hogs, were possessed of the devil by inheritance from those biblical hogs which ran down a hill into the sea and choked it, thereby interfering with navigation The sum asked for damages, Mir. Clanton be- lieNed to be not only moderate, but rldiculously low. If those melons. so ruthleSsly devou1ed, had reached ma tunty and had they been taken by MT.

If that eighteen acres of sor ghum had attained its full stature and had been ground, conve ted irto syrup | canced and put upon the eastern market ,the plaintiff might have ceased from labor
 MT. Clamton described the glorious possibilities presented by that sweet potato patch, out of which grew drsams of the comningling of it's i golden product with the tooth some possum of the south.
 That ruined alfalfa might have been converted into beef, which, at the present high prices, represem. ed only am appalling loss to the plaintiff.
 In his address MT. Clantol referred to the defendants attorney as 'ihe gentleman from Phoenix" who was eloquently described as an accessory of the hogs, after the fact

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
Doubt. Then Unbelief, D,sob adienne
 and Death

At the First Baptist church last Sunday evening Rev. Dr. Halsey preached the second of a series of ser mons on 'Life and Death," from the text found in Genesis 3:4, ''Ye shall not surely die.''
 The following is a brief resume of the sermon The devil was a liar from the beginning He endeavors to deceive men today as he did in the days that are past. Shun as you would a snake a man who would lead you to distrust the bible. What Satan fights for is to lead man to disobey- wilfully, intentionally, the commands of his Heavenly Father.
 We are to obey Gods comma d 5 whsther they seem to us to be reason able or unreasonable, just Or unjust. Parents sometimes seem to their children to make unjust demands upon them, but in later years the children, saved from sorrow, learn that their parents were right and loved them. Baptism is the putting on of the heavenly uniform. To say that something else will -do just as we'll is as senseless as it would be for new recruit in the United States army to say: "I don't see the need of putting on this blue suit. I should think that any other color would do just as well.''
 The temptation is first to doubt. then to disbelieve, then to disobey. Sin works death, death to all that is pure and beautiful and holy in the soul Disobedience is sin. Both physical suffering and spiritual death are the result of sim The soul that sinneth shall die.
 The sermon closed with an anec- | dote of a dying soldier whose only prayer was one of thanksgiving for a | good mother, a hope in Christ, dying grace and home in heaven Sonora Gallardo gave beautiful solo at the offertory, after which the Or dinance was administered.
