THE BUILDING BONDS.
Some Things Overlooked by Local
 Fault Finders vs

Territorial Treasurer Johnstone yes terday received certified check for S5,000 from Charles R. Mayer of Columbus, O., the successful bidder for the capitol building bonds. Before ac- cepting Mayors bid the treasurer was informed by telegraph that the check was in transit. There is a misunder- standing, perhaps wilful in some quar- ters, regarding the awarding of the contract. It has been asserted by Phoenix paper that after the payment of the 21s per cent commission the ter rltory would have only S97, 800 left. As a matter of fact under the law author izing the bonds the proceeds cannot be less than $100,000 The commis- sion is to be paid out of the general fund. It is stated, too, that Mayors was not the lowest and best bid As another matter of fact there was really no other legal bid. Farson, Leach & Co.'S. bid named lower com mission, but it did not contemplate the taking of the whole issue at once It proposed to take up the bonds as the territory needed the money for them. This proposition could not be entertained under the law, and if it could have been it would have been a doubtful business move to undertake the construction of the capitol build ing when complications might arise, as they have risen before in territorial bond transactions.
 Another feature of Mayors bid which has been overlooked by fault finders is that it contemplates the printing of the bonds and whatever other costs that may be incurred by the bidder. This will reduce the rate of commission to an appreciable ex- tent

The defendant denies that he fired the first shot, but that he was fired upon and wounded by someone whom he did not know. The jury was then consigned to the charge of the bailiffs again
 After that W. F. Schaller was ar raigned on charge of aggravated as sault His attorney, Thomas E. Elan nigan, announced that plea would be entered .iils morning. Assistant Dis trict Attorney Buliard asked that the bond be made sufficiently heavy to in- sure Schaliers presence. He reminded the court that Schaller had once been fugitive and suggested that the bond be placed at s1,0O0. MT. Flannigan denied that Schaller had attempted to flee. He had gone to Globe to work and as soon as he learned that he was wanted he surrendered. His bond was fixed at $500.

Durrant's father and friend left
Durrant and walked around the gal
lows to the front while Durrant and
his escort climbed the thirteen steps
to the platform of the gallows.
At last he stood upon the trap. He
gave no sign of weakness. His slight
figure was erect as though it were his
marriage morning. On arriving on the
gallows the rope was knotted about his
neck. The murderer held his chin higI
in the air to make room for the stiff
new line knotted in the peculiar man
ner of hangman's moose. By an unus
uaI privilege the condemned man was
permitted to wear a low collar, OpeI

the ashy paleness Of terror. 1t was
the white face of man who, knowing
that he has Il momentous thing to dc

State Prison on Friday, June 18th. On
the afternoon of April 10 Durrant was
taken from the county Jail where he
had been confined ever since he was
held to answer in the police court,
and taken TO San Quentin
Durrant was never tried for the muir
der of Miss Williams, but the evidence
of his guilt was as conclusive as in
the Lamont case. Miss Williams lived
in Alameda and on the afternoon she
was murdered Durrant was seen to
meet her at the ferry anu -oard Il
west bound car. She came to this city
for the purpose of attending an enter
tainment to be given by the churt-. in
the evening. and it is supposed that
when Durrant met her he made an APP
pOintment before going to the enter
talnment. At any rate, Miss Williams
went to the home of a friend in this
city, and at 7:30 o'clock started for the
entertainment. Half an hour later she
was seen standing in front of Emman-
uel Baptist church talking to DURAN
She was never seen again alive At
$50 that night Durrant arrived at the
residence of Mrs. VOCAL. where the en-
tertainment was being given, with
flushed face and highly nervous condi-
ton. He asked to be shown TO Il toilet

library where he had strangled Miss

of her clothing down her throat. The

ANOTHER MOVE.
The Merchants Loan and Trust Com
Now Wants to FOreclOSe on the
Arizona Canal Property.

Inc MefcndIIS LOAN anu Trust OOul-
Now Wants to Foreclose on the
Arizona Canal Property.
The middle in which the Arizona
Canal and Improvement Companies
are placed promises to become more
hopelessIy muddled than ever.
The Merchants Loan & Trust Co..
have filed two amended complaints in
the District Court, to the original COM
plants asking for the appointment of
a receiver for the Improvement Com
Dany and the canal. The amended
complaints complaints do not refer in
any way to the receiver but call for
foreclosure and sheriff's sale of the
property The foreclosure is asked for
the purpose of paying the principal
and interest on the bonds held in trust
and which amounts to S315, 200 six per
cent first mortgage bonds, $4,000 of
a second issue with interest at the
rate of five per cent. There is an adj
ditionaI claim for $685., 900 at eight per
cent.
Governor Hamilton, of the firm of
Hamilton & Armstrong, was asked
what effect this move on the part of
the Merchants Loan & Trust Company
would have in the suit of the Glen
dale company asking for a receiver for
the canal. He said that it would have
no direct bearing whatever, as it was
only intended to defeat the receiver
ship matter. However, the receiver
for the canal is already appointed
and what bearing the matter will have
on the appointment of Mr.. Hall as
receiver for the Improvement Com
pany remains to be seen.

Tragedy in Phoenix.

Tragedy in Phoenix.
! An amusing story has just come to
| light. There is in this city an eX-
business man who having once tasted
of the joys of matrimony, concluded to
! try it again. He was a widoSer and
! had a Partially for widows. He made
| it a special object to become acquaint-
ed with as many as he could, with the
avowed intention of marrying the one
that was agreeable and who suited
his fancy. Through the medium of a
friend who eXtolled the charming
qualities of Il certain young widow he
became enamored but the one obstacle
was that he was not acquainted with
the woman in question
His friend suggested that he write
letter to her explaining the condition
of his heart and offering her his hand
in matrimOny. The suggestion was
timely and the letter was written and
put in the post office
Two days passed and no answer,
and the writer of the letter was fear
full that his offer had been treated
with scorn by the object of his affec
tions. Saturday afternoon he was
standing On the street corner when an
irate man walked up and asked him
if his name was so-and-So- The an
swer was in the affirmative. when to
his establishment the other drew back
his fist and struck him in the face,
accusing him of having inSulted his
wife
Explanations followed when it was
learned that the letter went to the |
wrong party, although there was a |
of names. The widow did |
not receive the letter, but it was open |
ed by the husband of the woman to |
whom it was supposedly addressed
