USE LESS USELESS FENCING.

A dozen years experience in the
west has convinced us that on ma
jority of eastern farms there is more
fencing than it pays to keep up-a
fence that isn't kept up better not be
there. Fewer fences and better ones
would be a grand motto for some
farmers to adopt and live up to. Use
less fences are not only an expensive
luxury in themselves, but they oc-
cupy much land that should be put to
better use. Of course, there is con-
siderable permanent fencing neces-
sary on the well-regulated farm, but
it is not always wisely arranged as
regards size and form of fields, and
it will be worth while for the owner
Of the farm which is subdivided into
little square patches to study the
fence question carefully. He will

THE ROAD TO GLOBE.
A Meeting in the Interest of the Pro-
 ject at the Hotel Adams Tonight.

The interest in the Glebe road pro ject has begun to take a coherent shape which will soon result in the building of the road. A meeting of business men and ot1ers will be held at the Hotel Adams at 1:3O this even ing. Several gentlemen have sig nif1ed a wish that such a meeting be held at as early a date as possible in order that the movement might be given a definite direction. Several representative residents of Globe a-e now in town attending the l. O. O. F. grand lodge and will most likely at tend the meeting, since Globes inter est in the road is greater if possible than that of Phoenix.
 Business men have agreed that the cost of such a road as has been pro posed will be small thing in com pariSon with the benefits that will be derived from it. Globe now receives all it's agricultural products from either the Gila valley or small and almost inaccessible ranches from which the products have to be carried out by burros. The Salt River valley has an abundance of things the peo- pie of the great mining camp need and which they can well afford to sell at lower prices than Globe now has to pay. That will be Globes share of the profit and the conversion of these products into cash will be the Salt River valleys share to be divided among farmers, merchants and la borers. The people of the south side have understood for long time the advantages of Globe road, but never | until since The Republican has taken | the matter up have they succeeded in arousing an interest on this side of the river.

SUING FOR SURETY MONEY.
An Action by Washington Man
 Against a South Side Resident

A suit with a story behind it was begun in district court yesterday by Charles Bruhn of Tacoma, Wash, against J. s. Peterson of this county. The story contained in the complaint is as follows: On June 10, 1890, a man named W. F. Wright began suit against one Thomas Johnson in the superior court of Pierce county, Washington, for the recovery of $1.5G0. He obtained judgment, an attachment was issued against personal property supposed to belong to Johnson, and the property was levied upon by the sheriff. Peterson came forward and claimed ownership of the property Under the laws of Washington he filed an affidavit of ownership together with bond for s2OOO, twice the value of the property, after which the sheriff turned it over to him to be held pend ing the determination of the owner- ship. The bondsmen were Bruhn and three other men. The case of Peter son vs. the sheriff and Wright for the settlement of ownership was tried on October 10, 1893, and resulted in a judgment against the plaintiff and his bondsmen for the value of the prop erty, $2,096.45. and costs, s33695. There is hiatus of little more than three years in MT. Bruhn's history of this litigation.
 The next recorded event was the payment by him on December IA, 1896, Of the amount of the judgment Those three years were presumably spent in variety of ways; for instance, in learning as so many men have learned before and as so many men will learn until the world comes to an end, that the office of surety is not always a formal position, but is sometimes at tended by great responsibilities. He then doubtless occupied himself in kicking himself for some months for finding this out. Then he probably spent some time trying to induce his cosmetics to assume part of the load. But all this is unprofitable con- lecture, impossible of verification It is only certain that he paid the judg- ment and that he is trying to make MT. Peterson pay it back to him with interest since that fatal December IA, 1896, amounting to more than $2,700-
