HE SpURNED WEALTH
A Reporter Kicked q Roll of Bills
and Passed on.

A very curious thing happened in
this town yesterday. An attorney from
abroad who is stopping at the Hotel
Adams. left the hCtal to go to Attorney
General .Ainsworth's office. Before
starting he stuffed a telegram he had
just written into a, pocket along with d
roll OF bills containing ab5ut 5000.
When he arrived at the office of the
attorney general some one called his
attention to a $40 bill, which was
hanging by its eyebrows en- the edge of
his pocket That bill was all that was
left of tha original rcll. The at
torney trailed himself back to his
starting point. Two or three bills had
been picked up by other parties alcng
the route but the main part of the roll
has not yet been found, though it was
seen by several persons after it was
lost
"A young nan employed 81 this office

WATER LITIGATION
Six Injunction Suits Against
F1oriCOpo Company.
Another In Course OF Pre- paratlC n
AGAINST Every Wafer User In
the Valley But One. to Settle
the Dispute Forever.

Six more injunction suits were filed
against the Maricopa Canal company
yesterday afternoon. The plaintiffs
are John Mcbride, J. D. Marian O. j.
Smith, A. G. Smoot, George T. 'Wtlkey
and Austin G. Starkw9ese1fer TE'ese
s1rits differ from +uose of Gold VS..
the same company, and Slosser VS.. the
SAT- River valley Canal company, in
that the plaintiffs do nct contend that
eith~f they or their predecessors in
interest enjoyed rights by appropria-
ton prior to the construction of the
defendants canal. The water in near
1y all cases is alleged to have been ap-
propriated from the Salt river from
1879 and 1888 and conducted first
through the Grand and afterward
through the Mariccpa canal. 1t is al
legged in all the complaints that there
was an agreement between the plain
hiffs and the defendant by which the
former were to observe the rgula-
lions of the Latter in the matter of the
delivery of waller. This agreement
the Plaintiffs say, was observed by
them and that on September Is they
made a tender to the company at the
office of the Arizona Water company
CT sums they had heretofore paid for
winter water The wafer was denied
lem en- the ground that they were not
holders of water rights.
These tenders, amounting to $780,,
were deposited with the district clerk
Whose office, filled with the plaintiffs
nd their friends, looked yesterday af-
Iernoon as if the headquarters CT the
gwater company had been transferred
to it. Several more injunction suits
against the MaricCpa and other canal
companies will be filed next Monday
Yesterday was the time set for the
hearing Of the application fer an in
junction in the case of Martin Gold VS..
the Maricopa Canal company In the
absence of the company's attorney, c.
f. Ainsworth, L. H. Chalmers appeared
for the defendant and a continuation
of the hearing until October was
agreed to. 1t was also included in the
agreement that the plaintiff should
have his water as prayed for pending
the hearing.
At the conclusion of the proceedings
the plaintiff, who speaks English with
a soft Italian accent, overlook his at
torney, Judge Kibbey. as he was leav-
ing the court room and asked: Now,
how gets ma vallier now?" The judge
told him he would only have to go to
the office of the company, where he
would be given an order on the Fan
jero. Mr. Geld was off like a shot, for
his ranch had been without water for !
