He replied:
ella Bend is still there, and quite

decision of the United States supreme

great disappointment to our people,

won victory-if there is victory left
in it-but because it fastens another

The engineer calculates that it will be

date Labor is scarce, the weather is
getting warmer, which will probably
render it more difficult to get, and
this may delay construction. But
there is plenty of energy behind the
enterprise and it will not be retarded
materially by any drawback that per-
severance can overcome. 1t will open
up mostly mineral sections. The coal
fields of San Carlos will be an import

Fort Grant is the prettiest post in
Arizona or elsewhere, and the credit
is due to Brigadier-General E. V.
Sumner, who was colonel only when
he was there and took such interest in
its improvement. We all loved him
there, everybody that met him liked
him, and we all feel the honor of his

There was only one way to see
across the street late yesterday even
ing and that was with the aid of the
X-ray, the dust from the unsprinkled
streets was SO dense. 1t had been
gathering in volume since the early
morning sun had deprived the thor
oughfares OF the moisture which had
been precipitated the day before. BIZ
cyclists, street car drivers, horsemen
and drivers of public and private con-
veyances felt the need of fog-hOrnS to

But the mere discomfort of the dust
was not the worst OF it in the minds
of many timid persons, who imagined
they could see in the tawny cloud
spectres of the bacilli tuberculosis
which had been carelessly expectorated
upon street and sidewalk during the
preceding winter and spring by humid
reds of consumptives. Whenever two
or three people met Git can hardly be
said that they met at all; they just
bumped I'D against one another), there
was Indignation in their midst. Every
assemblage became a protesting con-
vention. The war with Spain was for
the moment forgotten. What profit
was It, though Sampson and Schley
had Just battered down the defenses of
Santiago. if the citizens of Phoenix
were to be choked to death before
they could enjoy the fruits of that
glorious achievement? They envied
the Spaniards of Santiago and Manila
At least they were in no danger Of
suffocation. The air had lately been
purified by screaming shot and burst

The rumble of a sprinkling wagon
was heard on Washington street. but
the wagon could not be seen Then
there was another Then the wagons
went the other way and finally their
outlines could be discerned i'll the
murk. They had effected an opening.
It was soon after learned that the
council had resolved to resume street
sprinkling and had just resorted to
energetic measures
Among the bills not allowed at the
council meeting the night before was
the claim of Wilson Bros, the sprink-
ling contractors, for $240. 1t was not
paid for the reason that there was a
misunderstanding about who should
keep the carts in order. They needed
instant repairs. The council decided
to withhold the warrant until the con-
tractors attended to the repairs. The
contractors decided to hold the carts
in hoe until the council came to time,
and in the meantime the populace was
confronted by prospect of asphyxia-
ton and an invasion by disease germs.
Under threat of legal proceedings the
contractors released the carts in the
afternoon; they were put in order as
quickly as possible and Phoenix began
to be resurrected from a living burial.
The sprinkling contract will be re
newed at meeting of the council

Cause of Action In Mcintyre VS..

Lake City on Trial-Probate Orders
and Miscellaneous Court Notes.

The case of Peter Burke VS.. H. NJ
Ryan ct al. came on before Judge
Hart yesterday. 1t is a jury trial, and
Will doubtless continue during the day.
In this action Burke sues Ryan because
of an alleged failure to deliver about
$4,000 shares OF stock which Burke
claimed was due him from Ryan, as
one OF the trustees OF the Ajax Mining
company. Burke claims that about
$4,000 shares were due him, and that
he got $4,000 only.
In the hearing yesterday the plalntlff
testified that he took the $4,000 shares
and receipted for them and did SO with
the understanding that as soon as he
did so he would begin suit to recover the
balance. He claims that Ryan con-
verted the stock to his own use, ana
that he wrongfully withholds the same
from him.
In the damage suit of Charles Bur-
CESS VS. the Salt Lake City Railroad
company, appellant, the supreme court
yesterday handed down an opinion,
