 THE COUNTY PRINT1NG.-The ! beard of supervisors is busily engaged
 in closing up the business of the year.
 A session was held yesterday and the
 final one will be held today The
 printing bids were opened yesterday
 The bidders were J. O. Dunbar, the
 Arizona Gazette, and the H. H. McNeil
 Company. The beard will award the
 contract today. It might have been
 done yesterday but for one thing. The
 lowest bidder did not include every
 thing in his proposal that the county
 will require. It is charged by his com petitors that his bid is ruinCusiy low
 on what he has specified, but that he
 expects to even up by his charges for
 articles which do not coms under the specifications.
 SUING FOR COMMISSION. Only
 one case was tried in district court yes
 terday. That was a suit by J. L. Shep-
 herd against William Bear to recover
 commission on the sale of a mine.
 The mine is situated in the Harqua
 Halas and was sold by Shepherd to
 ex-Senator stephen w. Dorsey for
 $S.000. The plaintiff claimed a com
 mission amounting to one-sixth of the selling price. MT. Dorsey was expected here as a witness in the case, but did
 not appear. The suit is in many re-
 spects similar to that of Emily Aubury vs. IgGacio Garcia, tried two weeks
 ago and in which the plaintiff was
 given judgment, which has since been
 suspended.

 DUTCH DITCH NO 2.-The city work on the Dutch ditch, or rather Dutch ditch Nc. ?, yesterday in spite of Judge Streets injunction is sued the day before in the case of Sarah R. Norton and G. B. Norton against the city council. It was dis covered that the opera ions had net yet extended to the property described in the complaint and injunction. The chain gang will therefore dIg the dftcn flush up to the Norton line. Then work will probably be begun at the western e;ld of the Norton property and carried to the extremity of the pro- posed ditch. The unfinished section lt will be made later. There is another { 'eature of the case. The city claims that the road in front of the Norton place is county road. This is denied Dy the other side, and though the con .roversy has not been settled, Road )verseer Thomas King says the county las been working the road for fifteen ,earS. In the event that the thorough are along which the ditch is being dug I S a county road the compliments can lot reasonably object to it's becoming he site of the ditch. !
