A NIGHT RIDE.
The Brave Performance of Little
 Arizona Girl.

Arizona has one little girl who has the foundation for a heroine. She is Ora Adams, the 13-year-old daughter of J. D. Adams, the McDowell cattle man. Last Saturday night her mother was seized with illness. By 1 o'clock in the morning the illness had so in- creAed in violence that it seemed likely she could not live until morn ing. MT. Adams had gone out couple of days before with a party of men to round up cattle in Sugar Loaf canyon and was not expected back for sever al days. His stricken wife desired his presence as soon as possible, but there was nobody to send after him but the little girl, as she was the only one about the place who knew where the party would likely be in camp She saddled a horse and set out in the night over one of the bIeakest and toughest trails in Arizona, and which through a part of the canyon Ied through almost impenetrable dark ness. She knew where the men wou d likely be in camp near a spring in a smaller canyon which led off from Mcdowell. She found them as she had expected, and so swift had been her ride that within an hour and forty minutes she was back at ner mother's bedside with her father

MATTERS OF REAL ESTATE.
An Instrument Calling Up Some Old
 Litigation.

The filings in the county recorders office yesterday made an apparent show of activity in real estate. But most of the instruments did not relate to recent deals. One, however recalled an old and at the time prominent transaction. It was a quIt claim deed conveying from Nellie c. Redewill to W. O. O'Neill and General William Barnes of New York, the south half of section 10 and the north half Of section 15 in township 1 south, range west. The property was deeded by Mrs. Redewill to the Equitable Mort gage company in 1890 Subsequently Mr~0'Neill and General Barnes, a well known New York politician, who had been associated in various enterprises, became involved in litigation with the mortgage company over breach of contract in the matter of certain canal bonds. They obtained judgment against the company iii February, 1893. The above described property was lev jed on and in course of time was sold by the sheriff and bidden in by the plaintiffs. A sheriff's deed was exc cuted to them in November, 1894. Mrs. Redewill's quit claim deed perfects the title, which lately passed to Captain O'Neill.
 There was also filed a deed from Joseph W. Wilson of Prescott to w. O. O'Neill half interest in the lots at the corner of Adams street. and First avenue, Phoenix, now occupied by the O'Neill building. The consdi- eration was 5000.
 The following, though, are recent real estate deals: Mildred H. and Benjamin Eager, tract in Dennis ad- dition to Stella Hambrook, $1,500; M. H. Sherman and wife to- Stella Ham, brook, lots g and 10, Capitol addi- tion, $400.
