THE BATTLE OPENED
The Bnrk-MUrfdY Hearing Was Commenced
 Yesterday.
If May Not Be Ended in Time to Give Either Plriy inc SheriffS Office as a Christmas Cliff.

The Bark-Murray contest was begun in district court yesterday morning. The contestant was represented by Judge c. r. Ainsworth and Mayor Ad- ans, and the respondent by Messrs. Baker, Bennett and Alexander. J. M. Burnett and B. M Gregory were ap- pointed tally clerks on the part of the court. w. P. Medley acted as clerk for the contestant, and c. B. Ming for the respondent
 The hearing progressed only far enough to indicate that it is going to consume much mere time than had been counted supon, notwithstanding it has been gone about in the most sys.e- matic and time saving way. There was a difference of opinion as 10 the method of conducting the recount. The attor- neys fer the rc5pondenlt wanted every thing settIed as it came up. That is, they wanted the contested and uncon- tested ballots cour'ted together. The court, however, adopted the method pursued by Judge Baker in the Bell Hooker cOirSesI. He announced that the uncOntesded ballots would be first counted and eliminated from the con- test. Then the contested ballo'ss would be taken up and a rule would be estab- lished with reference to each kind of

balloa to which objection is offered Later in the day MT. Bennett suggested another change in the manner of count ing. He wanted the count announced from time to ,ime by the tally clerks in order that in case of an error it might be rectified without an entire recount Judge Street was unable to see what u5eful purpose would be served by the adoption of MT. Bennet.'s proposal. The attorneys for the respondent re- piled that the court and all persons interested would know how the count was running The court replied that if he had good luck he would evade such a knowledge until the count had been concluded.
 There are twenlty-four precincts in which a recount will have to be made. East Phoenix precinct No 1 was taken up first. The pallets were taken from the hook on which they had been strung, by Mir Ainsworth, who either allowed and passed them to Judge Baker, or else gave notice Of contest. In the first case the ballots were re- corded by the tally clerks and in the latter case they were filed with the clerk of the court. Only one precinct was disposed of and another, East Phoenix precinct No 2, begun. The result in No. 1 was: Murray, 237; Bark, PIP. There were thirty-two con- tested ballots. To seventeen of these objection was made by MT. Ainsworth and to fifteen by Judge Baker.
 The original count in this precinct gave Murray a majority of twenty three. If all the objections should be eitller sustained or overruled the ma joTity would remain unchanged.
 So far as the count proceeded in pre- cinct No. 2, East Phoenix, three objec- itions were made by Mir. AinswOrth and two by Judge Baker. At 4 o'clock court adjourned for the day. The counted uncoTlnted and contested bal lots were put back into the box, which was locked and the key given into the hands of the clerk The box was fur ther secured by sealing wax, which was given identification by the pres sure upon it Of a $5 gold piece belong ing to Mir. Bennett.
 In this investigation nobody trusts anybody else farther than one can can throw bull by the tail.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY. :

w. M. Ward: I will ship carload of oranges to New York today ito the firm represented by MT. Cohen, who was here a short time ago. The picking is about all done with the exception or the late fruit, which will be left on the trees a week or so.
 
 Col. Cotton: There was a bicycle race out at my ranch last night be- tween one of my employees and an or ange thief. The fellow rode up to the grove and started to fill a gunnysack with fruit when one of the boys saw him and made a dash down the land at rate that would have made a good pace for Birney Bird or some other fast rider. The thief saw him coming and mounted his wheel at 100-yard handi- cap, but my man got close enough to him to satisfy himself of the thief's identity. He left the sack at the fence, and I propose to hold it until the fel- low comes after it. I know his num- Der, and I will give him a few days to come after the sack and get the or angeS he left scattered on the ground If he does not come I will gel an officer after him and make an example of this young man who belongs to a thieving and destructive class in the valley.
 
 Harry Cowell of Wickenburg: I'm not an extensive real estate owner of Wickenburg and have no special inter est in booming the town, but I think ought to call the attention of persons seeking a pleasant winter resort to the climatic conditions there. During ~-le la.e snow storm which ragged every where else in Arizona not a flake fell in Wickenburg. Though on all sides of it three or four miles away the snow was heavy. Wickenburg, by the way, is about 1 1,OO0 feet higher than the Salt River valley. We had a very little snow there just before last Christmas. That was the first snow fall since 1881.

Judge Erwin returned from his flying
trip to Alaska last week and expects to
return on the l2th inst. While north he
visited Dyea and went rs far IA the sum
NIT on that trail and afterwards stopped
at Skaguay and informed himself con-
corning the condition uf the trail that
starts over the mountains from there.
The object of his trip was to ascertain
positively the condition oi hose two trails
and having accomplished this he left at
once for home.
At Skaguay he saw Griffin and STRAIT
ton and reports them "a prospecting
nicely. They are in the real estate busi
ness and have the best office of any sort
that he saw while away. Lots are boom
ing and while the judge was in the office
cost them only $3.50 few weeks before
The abandoned outfits that they bought
last fall they still hold and they are not
vet fully decided whether to go in to
Dawson next season or not.
Judge Erwin is at present buying
horses for his expedition and when he
goes north next time will proceed to
Daw son where he will make his head
quarters and act in conjunction with A.
G. Coburn who is interested with him
and who expects to make his head
quarters at Dyea or Skagusy. They do
not wish the nature of their enterprise
made public at present but can depend
on the well wishes Of hosts of friends in
Yakima.

and locate claims. Ten of them are now
up on the Pelly River, where Fred Jungst
is with our goods. He is representing
w. ii. Gets. They were calculating
to prospect Pely River, and that is why
we left our goods there, but we have most
of them traded off for goods here to par
ties going out.

we had to carry it from about ~
miles back on the trail, but hear there
is plenty OF it up Lake Linderman. II is
no trouble to lower boat from Lake
Linderman to Lake Bennett with hall a

pounds and five men.
You can run the canyon with a iull

the left bank at White Horse just before
the river bends to the left, with high
bank in front on the right side. TIE
