was nothing in them but himself. A
 fine gold watch, a present from his wife, and abort $1750 in cash wsre
 gone, He said he would have made no | complaint about the money, but he wants the watch A couple of men
 tried to raise $1.25 on a gold watch at
 a cigar store, but couldn't get it. Ten
 minutes after they were gone an off cer lefC a description of the stolen watch. The cigar dealer had not eX-
 anined the watch offered to him and
 did not take enough notice Of the men to enable him to give any sort of description of them.
 | NEEDS NO PROTECTON.-Th Was an unnecessary suggestion in ThP Republican, yesterday morning theit specimens of liars be imported \ sample of the Kansis Mars work was placed on exhibition. The man who made the suggestion. has overlooked local talent ill gazing toward Karsas.
 There is DeputY Sheriff Charley
 Sfankard. for instance. q man without
 any special training. He just picked
 it up himself. Yesterday morning he
 described his repLtSe of various or-
 slaughts of mosquitoes made upon him
 between $ D. m. and midnight of Sun
 day night. In the absence of any
 more mosquitoes the engagement
 ended. Yesterday morning Eltt1s Sim
 Lindsey. who removes debris from
 the court house plaza. gathered up
 wheelbarrOw load of dead mosquitoes,
 WI ich wGs but small part of all that
 fe1. Many of the iniseCtts nDortally
 wounded. craWied off into the grass to
 die and doubtless their mangled re- mains will be found there at the next
 cutting. There need be no special in
 ducement to the Kansas liar to come
 here. Neither need there be tariff levied against the outside liar for the prGtecti0n of the local industry. It is
 robust enough to meet all corners on eQUhi terms.
 GOT EIGHT DAYS. There are many four-mile houses in the vicinity of Phoenix and at least three of theml are situe,-sd on the road between Phoenix and Tempe at a distance 0f from half a mile to mile apart. But distance does not count in an en- chanted country like Arizona, andlI ''four-m:1e house" has become a term that means just what it means whether i.5 can be explained CT not. There is a sort of tacitly understood definition, however, that the term means a place where there is an Op- portunity to quench thirst, usually with somethig more tangible than soft drinks. But MT. Thomss Ray IS the proprietor of a four-mile house on 1 the Tempe road that enjoys the dis tinct:0n of being strictly a temperance : institution Fernando Soc0-tO came ! along yesterday and worked Up dis i turbance there He could not under ] stand how a four-mile house could ex- l ist under 9 temperance regime and by the time he had fully explored the ! place and satisfied his curiosity ne i had become so inquisitive that he was ! turned over to an officer. It is not ! known hether he is a DreyfusaId or al i anti-Senlite, but his disturbance was i thought by Justice JOhEstone to be i worth about eight days and it as so l ordered
 BORN TO TROUBLE. $. M. Ivy was arrested yesterday on We1ran1 sworn out by Justice JOhns.one charg-
 ing him with breaking headgates be-
 longing to Francisco Valenzuela. It is not the old gentIeman's first ap- )earance in court, and he seems to nave 3 natural un-agonisIn aglins'S some one or another of h.s neighbors hs greater part of the time. Nothing $ known Of the circumstances of his present difficulty, except his statement hal .he plaintiff had been stealing water from him for the last ten years,
 nd he thought the destruction Cf the leadgates might have a s3lutafy in Iuence in the reformation Of the plain if as well, perhaps, materially in rease his own Watar supply. h this 7ay he hoped to do good to others 2s yell as to again get on speaking terms with justice in the matter of water dis .tbut.on Lastly, there lurked Jus'- T aint suggestion Of vengeance in nls
 cart and in case the destruction Of he headgate did not quicken the onscienca of the plaintiff in this ac- ion. he thougt. it might serve as cod sized thorn tC. ibs secreted among he beI of rosse on which Valen- uela was being cacIted to 2fflUence nd eventually a hone in the skies. Therefore he named some ten or welve witnesses that he desired sum- . loned in the case to prove that the lair..iff was water thief of the deep st dye. The justice kindly explained } him that his line of defense was nos alevant tc the subject; that if the Iaintiff had killed all of the defend nit blood relations, or borrowed h-S twn mower and never returned .'-, or 0isoned his dog, or even run for the I gislature, none of these evidences { f a perverted character on the part f the plaintiff could ameli0rate his -ims. He must be tried on his own ' sc0rd. After this explanation and le further "hunch' given by the lagis.rate that in the event of a COL .cion the defendant would have tO
