THE TERRITORY BUNCOED
By Han by inc Name of Robert
 Evans.

It didn't take very long in district
 court yesterday morning tc convict Albright. the bookkeepar of c. T.
 Hayden, of embezzlement. There was
 no defense and the facts and figures
 were against him.
 The next case was that Of Rober.
 Evans and Robert Smith, charged
 with attempting to burglarize the
 Western Investment bank last Christ
 mas. Shortly before the case was called Evans signified that he would like to turn states evidence. The case against him was dismissed and Smith went to trial. Evans, the star witness fer the territory, went on the stand He related with great circumstantiality that on Christmas a friend was i1l and he went after a doctor Some one pointed cut to him a building which ne subsequently learned was bank. On entering he found four gentlemen try ing to break into a vault. He walned them that they were laying up trou- ble for Themselves and advised them to d6sist and live honest lives. They Indignantly replied to him to go hence. Just then MT. Hickey, the bank man age1 came in and the witness was sub sequent.y arrested His evidence was SC far satisfactory, but when in the next breath he testified positively that Smith was not one of the quartette he had me in the bank, the audience was electrified and District Attorney Elan nigan fell heavily from his perch. Smith was convicted, though, of burg lary in the second degree.
 The next case was that of Jay Lam bert for a nIrderous assault On man named Spaulding. The heavy witness in this case was a garruIcus and uncomprehending perscn by the name of Cosby. All that he really knew of the case was that there had been a disturbance and that he after ward hauled Spaulding to town. i Where did Wcu take him?" he was asked Why, I took him to the secondhand st9re." What MT. Cosby | meant was that the only man he knew 1 was at a second hand store and that | he went there with his charge to in- | Quire the wav to an undertaker's or | to hospital. The hospital was final i ly selected and Spaulding fingered l there between concussicn of the brain l and death fer, several days.

LETTER FROn MANILA
The Short but Lively Experience of
 Waller Gregory.

Walter T. Gregory, newspaper man and Rough Rider, has lately emerged from a hospital at Manila. He was one Of the casualties" in enc of the numerous scraps with the insur gents. MT. Gregory has lad varied experi- ence with miner strikers at Bull Hill, Colorado, and with Spanish sol diery at Las GuasiGnas and San Juan Hill, but he has a greater measure of respect for the bravery of the Filipinos than he had for the Coloradoans or the Spaniards.
 Writing from Manila tc a friend in Phoenix, he says:
 T wish somebody would identify me. I am in doubt as to whether I am I. I have devoted several weeks to a personal analysis but the results a-e nil My perpleXity is deep. Since writing you last much has happened to me. 1 expected to be here a month ago, but was taken very sick at Frisco with malaria and ether complications and had to spend a few weeks in hospital.

The party re- sssem bled in front of the suspected house and briefly interviewing the sul- len crowd, retreated slowly to the camp and drove away.
 Weaver is the only town of it's kind in the United States and may be the only one Of it's kind in America. Save an American s.orekeeper, who is hon. est, but discreet. the population of 100 is wholly Mexican. Some of the in habitants are not outlaws, but the ma jority of them are outlaws by occupa- tion and descent More and blcodier murders have been committed in that neignbcrtocd than any other in Ari- zona. Beside the killing of Cribbel, Stanton and the Austrian, there was the dreadful massacre Of Barney Mar tin and his family.
 There are two Weavers, this MeXi- can Weaver and the American Weaver farther up the mountains. The Mex fcan Weaver is without even the form of law. There is nc justice of the peace, no constable there, and law never forces it's way in unless it has been outraged by some mere than usually fragrant crime.

 The insurgents are devils and with out fear and I think it vii, be some time before we get them under control. They are firing On us all the time and our advance is very slow.

 This letter was dated at Manila just one month ago today. It will be cb- served that MT.

 Cases Involving an aggregate Of mil
 lions Of acres will be decided at this
 sesSicn and in behalf of the peop-a in ] interest large array Of legal talent ] has been ret8ineL Besides the num- 1 'beIS composing tn Tucson bar, most
 of whom have business before the : c0uIt, dis ingUizled lawyers from abroad are present, including Senator i Jchn s. Morgan Of Alabama, Frances 1 J. Heney Cf San FrGncf1cc ard others. ! On motion of F. H. Hereford, ai.tar- ney for the plaintiffs, the San Pedro
 grant case WAS pos c.ned until May IS. This grant is clai2ed by the ReIlj Cattle company.
 The San RafaeI del Valle grant case
 was then taken Up, and Ccurie1 the
 attention of the court all day, the at
 tcTneys beginning their arguments at
 2 o'clock this afternoon.
 Two witnesses were examined in the
 case-Philip Contzen and George J. Roskruge. Some testimony in this case was taken at the last term Of c1surt, held in February, tIt the case was continued.
 San Rafael del Valle consists of 90,- 034 acres adjoining San Juan del las Bcqui;as y NogGie5 which latter grant is owned by Mrs Flhoehe A. Hearst and was recently confirmed. It lies southwest of Tombstone, in Cochisa county, and is an exceedingly valuable piece Of prcEerty. Juan Pedro Camou Cf Graymas is tho claimant Of San Ra- fael del Valle.
 Title to the grant was issued ty the state Of Sonora on May 8, 1883, and the contention Of the government is that net being approved by the Mexican fGGeral g0veI nnent tie grant is nuI and void
 The case was tried by the court of private land claims on @ previous oc- casiCn and rejected. It went to the supreme court and by that body was sent back to the land court for fuTthe- proceedings, without special ins.-ruc- tions.
 The San Rafael de Ia Zanja case will be called tomorrow ard will probably occupy the attention of the court for two or more days The tract Of land involved lies near Lochiel, in the southwestern porticn of Santa Cruz county and contains some 160 900 acres, most of which is fine stock land. Colin Cameron, who claims tile to the grant, aIicears as 'oc-Ge- ! fendant with 5he government against 1 Alfred A. Green, who is the criginai l claimant of the grant. The attorneys | in the case are Rochester Ford of Tue | son, Senator JChn $. Morgan Of Ala 1 bana, and Francis J. Heney Of San | Francisco. The original title on which | this claim is based was for IT ,000 acres | and isued on May 15, 1895, by the sta35e Of Soncra. The old surveys were very inaccurate and boundaries indefinitely described, owing to which the tract now claimed has grown to the prCpo-- Lions stated above -T uCson Citizen.

A MURDERER HUNT
A Lafe Visit 10 The Strange Com-
 munitY Of Weaver.

Weaver ought to be wiped of the
 the United States. It's more of Mex
 ican village than any town in Mexico.
 This was the observation Of Deputy
 Sheriff Porterie, who returned yester-
 day frcm an exciting visit to Weaver in search of two murderers. The de- scent upon the village was organized
 by Sheriff J. L. Munds of Yavapai
 county. The members of his posse
 were Deputy PCrterie, Deputy Pete Rosha of Congress and two other men. Word had come to the sheriff that Pedro Lucel, the boy murderer of Crib be. and later of Stanton, eight or ten years ago, and Guille-Ino, the butcher of an Austrian storekeeper at Weaver last winter, had been seen there at a dance on the night of May ,. There was no doubt of the accuracy of the in formation ard the posse believed that the outlaws were still lingering in that community of outlaws.
 The start was made on Sunday night Deputy Forterie joined the ether mem bers of the posse at Congress, and the party was driven by BOSha over the mountains at breakneck speed. In a couple of hc1rs they were ap- prised by the barking of the sentinel dogs that they were near Weaver They went into camp without lighting a fire and slept until the faintest streak Of the morning appeared. The party then marched abreast into the village and fought their way through an army Cf dogs to the house where the murder CTS would most likely be concealed. They knocked at the door without at tracting an answer, though they could hear the inmates moving about They threatened to break down the door, but still it was not opened In the meantime there Twas gathering an in surgent crowd. One man began har- anguing it, directing public atten- ticn to the outrageous invasion Of the quiet and peaceabla hamlet and the frightening Of the women and ch1+- dren. An officer put the muzZle of his Winchester against the orators stom- ach and fingered the hammer and trig- ger of the rifle in d sinister manner. The orator withdrew and was seen no more. But the scowling, mutteTing and ever increasing crowd remained.
 Deputy Pofterie ordered . Mexican to tell the inmates of the suspicious house to open the door, but to first strike a light They obeyed and three of the posse entered After a careful search of the house they descended a shaft which led from the interior into a tunnel Of the placer grounds which were cid workings when the first Americans came to the country.
 Here was where the officers expected l to find the murderers. The tunnel was long. branching and tortuous, finally opening upon an arroyo. It was also l narrow and so lew that it could Cnly 1 be traversed crawling Officer Por- ! terie crawled ahead with a lighted i candle in his left hand, his right |

A DIFFICULT TASK.
Pima and Santa Cruz Supervisors Un-
 able to Agree

1 A most difficult job was encountered
 by the boards Of supervisors of Pima
 and Santa Cruz counties when they
 attempted to reach an agreement as to
 the amount of indebtedness of Pima county for which the new county is
 liable. Numerous joint sessions have been he'd, the last one thus far oc- curing this morning, but the result has always been the same-disagree- nent
 The Pima county board has submit ted proposition for the considera-
 ticn Of the Santa Cruz board, upon the
 basis Of the provisions of which prop
 CsitiO1 the matter may be settled, but
 the ideas and notions Of tire. repre- sentaeives Of the two counties are so widely at variance that there is little possibility of a settlement.
 Wilh ths proposition was submitted an estimate arrived at by the Santa Cruz beard, Of the valuation Of Pima county's public property, ariI this sum they want deducted from the ag- g-egate debt fer Q proportion of which they are liable.
 Pima's indebtedness, excluzi.ge of the narrow gauge bonds, is $37G, ,552, ,76, On which sum both boards agree. From this the Santa Cruz men want deducted the sum Of $S5, ,652. .96 their cstima-e Of tho value Of Pima coUnty's property, including ccITt house and jail, fixtures and money in the treas ury. This would leave the sum of $290, ,899.60, of which Santa Cruz will agree to c5ligate chenselves, by giv- ing Santa Cruz bonds to Pima county to p3y tWeE- -y-thTee ger cent. Herein lies the principal point at difference. The valuations as set by the Santa Cruz board are much higher than the estimate cf the Pinll board besides which the Pima c-sIIty gentlemen will not agree to pay Santa Cruz county for the property owned by this county at the time of dissolution, by deduct iEg Is valuation from the amount for which Santa Cruz is liable,
 The amount Of the narr " gauge bonds is $337, ,778.1S, and in the event that the courts decide that they must be paid Santa Cruz will stand it's proportion Of twenty-tkree Ter cent. If the bonds are defeated, the amount Of Indebtedness accruiEg theFefrom will be S17,239.41, according to the Santa Cruz estimate
 The difference at issue between the two boards will net likely ba settled, i though another effort will be made to- morrow at ? p. m.-Tucson Citizen.

A Patriotic Family.

Mrs. f. f. Fales, whose home is al
Miller, South Dakota, but who is spend
ing the summer here with friends, be,
longs to family that has one ut the
most remaI kabie military records of the
nation. Mr.. and Mrs, Falcs were well
known citizens Of Audubon for many
years, moving to South Dakota about
four years ago. Mr.. Fales died there
some time ago. Mrs. Fales is stopping
at the Charles Van Gorder home this
summer. The remarkable military rec
ord is about as follows:
Mrs. Fales WIS formerly Miss Avery,
of Pennington, New Hampshire, being
one of a family OF eleven children, eight
brothers and three sisters, The eight
brothers were all in the Union army, as
were also the three husbands of the
three sisters. One son Of these brothers
was also in tho army, being III the same
company with his father and tmee un-
cles, Go. d., 9th New Hampshire lnfan-
try. These famous brothers had sev
eral other relatives in the service, bro
theirs IN law, cousins, etc.
Mrs. Fales, at the time of the war. was
Mrs. g. w. Calef, her husband, as we
have said, being in the service. He died
very soon after returning homo. She af-
forwards married T.. T. Fales, who was
"a veteran. Three of the eight brothers
were wounded and one was killed i'll bat
tie at Yarmouth, Virginia.
This is the record Of family which
we presume has scarcely been equalled
and surely not exceeded by any other
family in patriotism and in devotion to
the country in the time Of supreme peril.
Mrs. Falcs can easily feel proud of her
family's history.

several have been fghtibg. Others have
been persistent in going in swimming in
public places tho ugh they had been
boys here who are funning career en-

ness, cigarette smoking, and little
criminal acts will lead many of them to
much worse things. Several fines were
imposed on them. Then few days ago
there were arrests made among some
