man. In fact he was Familiarity known
as Honest john From doing odd
Jobs he drifted into the contracting

ing his speciality. His unfortunate
connection with the storm drain is
still fresh in the public mind. 1t

fastened his death. John made a
confidential friend of ex-Mayor b. F..
Knox, and when he realized that the
end was near turned over to him what
little money and effects he had. with
instructions to give him a respectable
burial and pay off his obligations as
far as possible. Mr.. Knox will carry
out this wish. John some time ago
bought Il lot in Calvary cemetery.
There he will be laid to rest tomor-
row afternoon. His remains are now

ALLEGED ENTERTAINMENT.
A Sensational Case Brought in From
 Glendale.

A rather sensational case by reason of the prominence of the parties was brought in from Glendale yesterday. Late in the afternoon Mrs. R. A. Brett, who with her husband is occupying Rancho del Higo, better known as the Thompson ranch, came to town and made complaint in Justice Johnstone's court against E. F. Belvin, the fore man of the ranch, charging him with the embezzlement of 104, ,520 pounds of hay valued at $500. The embezzle- ment is alleged to have been commit ted on June 23. Mrs. Brett made the complaint because her husband had gone east.
 A warrant was issued and Deputy Sheriff Charles Slankard brought Bel win in. He said that the arrest created great surprise at Glendale and that half the population stood ready to go on his bond.
 c. T. Hirst and others came in and signed the bond, which was fixed at $750. The case was set for trial next Monday afternoon. Belvin is deaf and conversation with him is carried on by means of an ear trumpet. He is respectable appearing man. MT. Hirst save the charge against him is without foundation. He said that Belvin was employed as foreman of the ranch last fall, that his salary is not only in arrears, but that he has been paying part of the expenses of the ranch out of his own funds. A few days ago he submitted a state

THE UPPER CHA.
The War Fever Is Prevalent in That
 Fertile Valley.

Mir S. NJ. Cullom, deputy collector of internal revenue for Arizona, re- turned yesterday from an official trip to Globe He is pleased with the min ing camp and especially pleased with he beautiful upper Gila valley. The Gila Valley. Globe & Northern railroad has now been completed to San Carlos, midway betewen the former northern terminus, Geronimo, and Globe. But that is the easiest half of it to build. The rest of the way is over gradually ascending, though not abrupt hills.
 The thing principally talked about at Globe is Governor McCord's regi- ment There has been an informal enlistment of nearly enough men to form a company.
 The same sort of a war fever pre- vails throughout the Gila valley. MT. Cullom stopped at Stafford and found everybody talking about going to war. District Attorney Wiley Jones has enlisted about 150 men. Farmers complain that they are unable to get sufficient help to harvest their crops. The recruits are willing to work, but they are afraid to get out of touch with telegraph stations, fearing that the regiment will be called out and they will be left. They have put themselves under waiting orders with out pay.

It speaks volumes for Paine's celery compound that of all the many women who have recovered health by it's means very many were induced to take it through the persuasion of other wo- men-sisters, mothers or friends.
 When a sick and feeble sufferer is seen to gain steadily in health and vigor from taking Paine's celery com pound no room for doubt is left to the most stubborn minded person. This joyous transformation from sickness to health is going on in thousands of homes this spring.
 Here is the eXperience-liket that of hundreds of others-of Mrs. R. H.. Studds:

Its tires were not quite two inches wide and they cut deep furrows into the solid gravel as it went along. A half dozen such wagons passing over the best street in Phoenix, to say noth- ing of an ordinarily good country road, would leave it almost impossible. In states in which the good roads movement is well under way, this mat ter is regulated by law. The regula- tions vary, but in one of the eastern states a two-inch tire wagon is not permitted to carry more than 1,50O pounds at the season of the year when the frost is coming out of the ground. At no season of the year is it allow able to put more than 2.000 pounds on such a wagon. The load is permitted to increase with width of tire. A farmer is allowed to put as heavy a load over a four or six-inch tire as his wagon will bear These regulations are rigidly enforced by the super visors of road districts. Thus the broad tire is coming into fashion and farmers instead of cutting up and wearing out the roads keep them good.

A REDUCTION OF BAIL.
Writ of Habeas Corpus in. the Case of
 J. A. Porterie.

Officer J. A. Porterie, by his attor- ney, H. M. Willis, yesterday made application for writ of habeas corpus for the purpose of securing a reduc- tion of the bail under which he was held to the grand jury for killing Pas qual Gonzalez. Judge Street directed the writ to issue and set the matter for hearing this morning. The bond fixed by Justice Johnstone was S2,0O0. Officer POrterie has so far made no effort to raise it, though he probably could have done so. It was said that he had friends who would have come to his relief if he had made applica- tion to them and besides he had prop erty valued at about $2,5O0. It is said that one reason why he has made no effort to get out of jail was the ex- cited state of mind into which a part of the Mexican population had been wrought and that while he was not fearful of an attempt upon his life, he did not care to aggravate his enemies.
 All the cases of the Japanese labor CTS against the Anglo-American Ca- naigre company were argued and sub mitted yesterday.
 The case of Goldman & Go. against Pendergast was dismissed at the cost of the plaintiff. The same entry was made in the case of Wilcox ct al vs. Brown.

istocrats can mingle with the tougher elements of the regiment may spare their concern. Even if the aristocrats hesitated to mingle, which they don't, they would not have to worry in any case, for the aristocrats are in one troop and the others in others. It is a fact that cowboy and clubman alike take care of their own horses and eat the same fare. If the clubman eats at the hotel, that is an exception less fla grant than it looks, for the cowboy sometimes goes to the eating house in town. The difference is not greater than in all volunteer regiments, where privates, of course, do not keep their places as the regulars do.
 The best thing about the rough rid CTS is that they are heartily tired of and really a. little dismayed by their newspaper notoriety. Wanting a chance to make a name of their own. they are hampered by this ready made one, which they rebel against, but which it is hard to see how a com mand, springing into such motley be- ing, could have averted.

SAILORS AND SHARKS.
Sailors are Poor Swimmers But They
 Do Not Fear Sharks.

Two facts that may seem somewhat peculiar to shore folks" said an ex- sailor of the navy, "are, first, that only about one-half of the men-'o-war's men in our service or in any other ser vice, in fact, know how to swim, and, second, that sharks are the most cow ardly of all living creatures. It is odd that so large a proportion of the na- val sailors don't know how to swim, but it is probably due to the fact that great humber of our man-o'-war's men nowadays come from the interior of the country, where there is no water for them to learn how to swim. In the old navy-and I put all of my ser vice in the old navy, so called-the man who couldn't swim was, as soon as discovered by his shipmates, 1n- confidently chucked over the side when swimming call went, and he just had to swim. Of course, the men wouldn't let fellow who didn't know how to swim drown before their eyes, but they would see to it that he made a hard stab at the art of swimming be- fore they picked him up. If he didn't succeed in swimming the first time. overheard he would go the very next time all hands took plunge over the side at swimming call, and thus all of the men serving on the old line of packets become swimmers before they left the service. It is forbidden to throw a non-swimmer into the water now. but I think it would be good thing if the practice were still contin- ned. The officers of the ships today insist upon the apprentice lads learn
