LIAM DEToN HELD FOR LAR
CENY.
John w. Hudson, colored, was ar
raigned in City Court to-day on the
charge of committing an assault and
battery on his wife, Gertrude Hudson.
Hudson said that he had heard re-
ports of his wife going with other men
while he was at work or absent in the
evenings. He had said nothing to her
of his knowledge of her doings for
some time, but yesterday refused to
allow her to do his washing and order
ed her to go home to her mother. She
refused to do so, whereupOn he took
the washbOard from the tub and threw
il on the floor.
The woman claimed that Hudson
struck her, but he denied it and she
could not prove her statements.
When Judge Ball asked Hudson If he
and the woman were lawfully married
he replied in the affirmative.
The judge then asked him where the
ceremony took place and by whom
performed.
The answer was: up TO Bushville,
but 1 disremembers who did de job
Mebbe she kin tell"
She" was not asked however, and
the next question was: Where is
Bushville?"
Bout a mile from Woodstown," re-
piled the prisoner.
This caused a general laugh in the
court room.
The negro finally informed the court
that the two places named were in New
Jersey. The case was dismissed.

ton and the boots. They were also

had sold them, after slashing them to
pieces with a knife. They were in good
condition when stolen.

MURPHY ADDITION
Copy of The Petition Now Before
fhe City Council.

To the Editor of The ReDublican-Sir:
AS a citizen having at heart the well
fare of Phoenix, allow me to thank
you for the plain words by The Re
publican this morning rebuking the
city council for a blunder which is
worse than a crime. The words were:
The whole of this (Murphy) addition
should be brought in, and a large ma
! jority of it's citizens are in favor of
such action This IS in direct contra
diction to q statement made in an
evening paper yesterday: Hardly
any inference can be drawn from the
contents that the addition wants to
come in
I present to you. Mr. Editor, the pc
tition in full. with its signatures, the
reading of which will show to any hon
est man that the citizens of Murphy's
addition have made commendable
and manly effort to come into the city
limits. After explaining that the clos
ing portion of their petition was now
unnecessary, as there was no petition
before the district court their prayer
includes only the first clause of their
original petition. viz: that they may
be admitted without conditions. This
was. in fact the petition as it was at
first drafted. and was written by Re
corder Jobs.
For a long time earnest efforts have
been put forth to persuade the addi-
lions to come into the city. Now the
citizens of one of the largest of them
come and simply ask with no condi-
tions, to be received at the earliest
opportunity and the council shuts the
door in their faces. If the q census !
shows Phoenix to be a small city, |
where will be the blame? Read the
list of signatures to the petition and /
see what sort Of citizens the council /
proposes to ignore:

after a fight, but Dunlap got away.
He sent word back to the sheriff that
his principal aim in life was to kilt
him.
