 town the night before, hitched his horse to a post and
 left it there until 4 o'clock this morn ing, when it was taken to a livery
 stable by an officer. The owner of
 the horse says he is not guilty and that
 the trouble is that the police do not
 understand the record of that horse.
 He does nothing from weeks end to
 weeks end but eat alfalfa and has
 grown so high spirited and proud that l it has frequently been found neces- sary to tie him up for day at time to teach him his place. He had eaten so much previous to his being brought to town that it wouldn't have hurt him if he had remained at the post twelve hours longer.
 A newspaper man sat in barber chair yesterday. Another man came in and asked him if it was true that Matanzas had been bombarded and
 l0O Spaniards killed. The news paper man did not know and the in ouirer went out, but the subject fingered in the mind of the barber Tt wasn't much of battle," said he. "No," said the newspaper man. Only 100 were killed,' said the bar Der. That's a1l," replied the news paper man. "No battle at all." said the barber "Only a skirmish," re- piled the newspaper man. Then the barber wanted to know to what ex- tent the slaughter should go to dis tinguish a battle from a skirmish. The newspaper man had never seen a rule on this subject laid down. but the barber supplied one. He placed the number at 25.000-
 Charles Goldman through his at torneys, Baker & Alexander, yester- day made application in probate court for both special and general letters of administration on the estate of M. Wormser. The application for spe- cial letters states that the estate is in such a condition that it demands inn mediate attention. According to the petition the estate is not nearly SC large as was supposed. The value of the real estate is placed at S100.000, the personal property at 5000. The latter consists of shares in various branches of the Tempe canal, live stock, household furniture and S100 in cash. The heirs, of which it was sup posed at first there was only one, are numerous. They are Diana Lippman Of Medilbron, Alsace-Lorraine, a sister of the deceased; Florentine Jacobs of Tacoma, Washington, niece Joseph and Meyer Jacobs of Tacoma, nephews Milonie Jacobs, and Sarah Jacobs of San Diego, nieces, J. Jacobs of San Diego, nephew. Michael Jacobs of San Francisco and A. Lipp- mann of Hueneme, Cal, nephews. The last two are now in the city. There was no will.
 Mr. J. A. Baird, former assistant livestock agent of the Santa Fe at Albuquerque, now a resident of Las Cruces, N. M, is in Phoenix from Fl Paso. He is in the valley buying beef cattle for the Nation Butchering com pany of that place. He sent a carload out from Tempe last night and will go over this week to secure another carload He has an option on some very fat stock Nation & Co. will butcher the twenty-nine head sent them yesterday within a week. If MT. Baird finds what he wants right along and at prices to suit he will b7 in the valley frequently during the current year. lie Sdlu ludI Iue e0os Valley (N. M) railway was in new hands and would be pushed from Ros- well, N M, to Washburn in the Pan handle of Texas. Here the road will connect with the Denver & Fort Worth. The distance from Roswell to Washburn is 250 miles. This con nection means the attraction of cattle trading from the main line of the Santa Fe to large extent. The Pecos Valley road connects at Pecos City with the Texas & Pacific, feeder of the Southern Pacific at Fl Paso. Mr. Baird is greatly pleased with Phoenix and it would not be surprising to hear of his locating in this city.
