SHEEP IN AFlZONA.

Grading Up Mexican Sheep Profitable in
 Arizoaa.
 Starting with poor grade of Mex ican sheep, sheep men in northern and central Arizona, by imported Merino. Southdown and Cotswold strains, have graded ap the poor quality of Arizona sheep to very fair average on all ranges and very good strains on many of the ranges, and well-bred sheep on some. The climatic conditions are as good in Arizona for sheep as other stock. The alfalfa of central Arizona is fine food for them, as also the pine grass of northern Arizona. Hereto fore all atteni ion has been paid to cat. tie, but sheep are now receiving their share. The industry is confined most ly to the higher attitudes. It is very seldom in the past that whole bands have been frozen up in Arizona in a night as in the northern states, because in driving them short distances, by easy stages warmer localities in lower valleys can be found in which food can be obtained equally as well. Sheep in Arizona are going to be profitable if the rains continue with the same ire quency the coming year as in the past. producing the same generous pistur. age.-Stockman.

Hard on Sheep.

Harry Scorse of Holbrouk was driv- ing his sheep out of the Moy0llon mountains into the Verde valley when the big storm Of week ago came up, and had one of his feet badl yfrozen the first day and suffered great deal from the exposure he was subjected to. He lost number of sheep during the storm. Julius Wetzler's sheep were turned loose when the storm came up Us they were overtaken Ut a mos, un- favorable place in the mountains. The sheep have since been gathered up and the loss was considerable from starvation. Hugh Campbell, who has d number of bands on the way to the valley. is feeding his sheep hay, and his loss will be slight. l. the weather remains warm the feed will start on the desert and ranges early and it will be the best in many years. H.C. Yae- ger says, expect to hear from my sheep tomorrow in regard to their movements. There was no loss in my bands during the storm and the snow in the Verde valley has melted and the sheep are finding plenty of food. .--Phoe. nix Republican.

Mr. Bailey and his friends to pass the
resolution. At tie outset Mr. DeArmand
made point of order against the ctgn
larity of the resolution, put Chairmon
Richardson did not susta II the point. In
order to test the strength of the Bail Y

Mr.. Bailey said after the caucus:

be plain to all thinking prs Ms that the
stories of serious divisions in the Demo-
cratic party were the invention of a
few sensational newspapers"

Case Out of Attorney Graham's
lands.
Philadelphia, Dec 1O.-Suprcme Court
justices Green and Williams today
granted rule allowing the defendants
in the Quay conspiracy case to argue n
petition for writ of certiorari remov-
ug the proceedings from the court of
Quarter Sessions to the Supreme Court.
The rule is returnable January 7th, and
all proceedings are stayed in the mean
time
The Senator and his attorneys do not
hesitate to admit that their object in
securing delay for the trial is to take the
case out of the hands of District Attor
ney Graham. Mr.. Graham, they say,
is an enemy of the Senator and has
displayed great eagerness in unjustly
prosecuting him and his co-defendants.
In support of their prayer TO the SUI
perior Court, the defendants aver in part
that the prosecutions were instigated and
inspired chiefly by James Gay Gordon,
late n Judge of the Court of Pleas of
Philadelphia, acting in concert with 9TH
or open and avOwed political enemies Of
Matthew s. Quay, and that Gordon as
private counsel for James McManes,
President of the Peoples Bank. obtained
possession of letters written bv the Pc
titioners relating solely to their own
private business transactions and of pri-
vate memoranda alleged to have been
lrodo by Cashier Hopkins. These let
terS and memoranda were copied for the
purpose of using them for political pur-
poses. Gordon being then candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Cover
nor. That although Gordon had posses
sion of this information about the oath
day of March last and although the in
formation was. from that date. also in
the possession of Thomas w. Barlow, as
receiver of the PEOPLES Bank. and as
special first assistant district attorney of
Philadelphia county, yet no complaint of
any kind whatever was made against
the petitioners until the third day of Oc-
tOher last, when warrants were issued
charging the petitioners with the often
seS. That the warrants were issued
shortly before the recent State election,
which involved the election not only of
Governor. but of members of the Leg
islature who will be called upon to vote
for United States Senator to succeed
Mr.. Quay who is candidate for re-
election. In instigating and procuring
the warrants. Gordon was inspired bv ex-
press and personal malice against Quay,
as is evidenced by the fact that Gordon
publicly charged hih with having been
instrumental in preventing his nomina-
tion for Governor at the Democratic
State convention That on or about
November 23d last Gordon resigned from
his office as Judge
1t is further averred that the further
prosecution of the indictments is now
being unduly pressed not in the interest

political enemies of Matthew $. Quay
for the sole purpose of influencing. preju-
