After taking up the whole of the
morning session of the district court on
Monday with the getting together and
impaneling of jury for the
hearing of the trial of Walker for the
killing of Dick Bennett, about twelve
or fifteen witnesses were examined on
both sides. the prosecution being as
sisted by Attorney c. F. Aims
worth of Phoenix, at this time, Tues
day evening, the case is being argued
and viii be submitted to the jury to-

The city council was advertised to
hold meeting last evening, when
'ickers' were invited to be present, if
any such there were who might have
protests to enter against and argu-
ments to make against any of the pub
lie work now being prosecuted. 1t was
said that the petition against the grad
ing of Montezuma street would be
considered and acted upon, but as there
failed to be quorum present owing to
the absence of the mayor and one or
two members of the council from the
city, the only matter taken up for corr
sideration was an informal reading of
the proposed ordinance relating to
plumbing licenses, and the plans and
specifications for the proper construc-
ton of sewers and pipes. The kickers
however, were in attendance en- masse.
The Church of the Advent, Episcopal,
is growing and gaining again in the
attendance Of its members after it's
loss and falling off during the time
when there was no rector here. The
present rector, Rev. Fred Bennett, re-
Gently from Albuquerque, n. NJ, is an
enthusiastic worker in both church and
Sunday school matters, and under his
able leadership and superintendency
the Sunday school is thriving and grow
ing very satisfactorily. He is devoted
and strong adherent to the doctrines
and forms of the church worship and
makes a special endeavor to have
music form a chief portion of the
church services. His words of exhort-
alton and sermons to his congregations
are full of deep feeling and religious
fervor, while his Illustrations are apt
and beautiful helping to a sense of
hearty conviction of the doctrine of
love and true religion to his attentive
listeners. We are promised some very
fine music by some of cur new local tai
ent at the Christmas services.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. Z. Morrison have
returned from their enjoyable trip to
Phoenix to attend the carnival, as have
also Mr.. and Mrs. c. G.. Fennell.
The friends of Mr.. George B. Scam
nell here ere pleased to learn of the
honor conferred on him while in Phoe-
nix recently, in having received the ap-
/ pointment on Governor Murphy's staff,
and We are reminded of the old saying.
that a prophet is not a prophet in his
own country, but must go away from
home to receive distinction and honor.
LOUIE BEE.
