 [Signedl NOAH MARTINI
 Although this agreement was written in two parts on the same paper the principle of law applies that it's effect is the same as if the agreement had been written in one part and signed by both parties.
 At latter dat 6 it isalfeged that Noah Martin assigned the note C. Hickson who brought suit short time ago. Attorney Will b. Gould, representing the defendant, took the deposition of i dickson and endeavored to discover from him the wherea bouts of Noah Martin, and also the authority by which he held the note and brought the suit. Hickson testified that the note had been assigned to him several years ago as security for about $60, and that he had no Idea where Noah Martin had esconced himself. He stated that he had not seen him for months, and had no means at his command of discover. ing his whereabouts.
 demurrer was thereupon filed in Miss Schley's behalf, on the ground that it was necessary that the con- plaint should allege that Noah Martin is alive, otherwise the agreement would be at an end, and nothing would be due or payable and no cause ofaction could exist under the agreement unless it could be shown that Noah Martin is still alive.
 The matter gave rise to considerable argument yesterday before Judge Shaw, the court sustaining the contention made in behalf of Miss Schley, and in sustaining the demurrer to the com- plaint granted leave to the defendant to ammend his complaint within ten Jays.
 And at the end of ten day the same vital question will arise. is Noah Mar tin alive or dead? If the former, it is not to be supposed that he would stand by and see the property of his friend and in some sort his protege of former years, he sacrificed at forced sale Tn suit brought by the assignee who hclds his obligations as security for S60. And if dead the obligations falls to the ground. aud the agreement will operate in the nature of will.-Ex.

It is reported that the small pox is now at Fl Tule again, being fetched
 bysom one from Winslow, It seems that Apache county treats her pa tients better than any other county in the Territory. Or why does the people of other counties flock to our county as soon as those courageous diseases takes hold of them, is it because the climate here is better than elsewhere, or is it because they are not allowed any provisions in their own counties, and knowing that they can obtain it by
 coming here they come for that purpose ? Although the climate is very good in this-eonnty, we are inclined to think that they come for the latter purpose. Apache county does not hesitate about feeding her own citizens, if they cannot help themselves, but she does object to people coming from other coInties here when they have those courageous dis eases,

A NOTE OR 4 WILL.
PECULIAR DOCUMENT INVOLVED
 MA CASE IN COURT.
KinSWOman of Admiral ScfIley Cautiously Placed-Death of Her BenefactOr Would Be Her Financial Salvation.

4 case of peculiar interest came up before Judge Shaw yesterday. in the suit of C dickson to recover on an in- strument that might be B note or a will, and portook of the nature of both from Miss Elizabeth Schley a kinswo- man of Admiral Schley.
 Only very short time ago Miss Schley had all of her property attache d by dickson, as assignee of her former friend and alleged benefactor. Noah Martin. The amount in issue IS $500, with interest from November l. 1895, at the rate ofS- per cent, per annum; and behind the alleged in dcbtedness lies a rather odd story according to tue plain tiff.
 Noah Martin is aveFed to have been a single man, somewhat eccntrlc, but kindly disposed, and for many years the respected fried of the defendant in thIs suit, From time to time he put money in Miss Schley's hand for her the sum ol $1oO0 upon speclhc Written agreement, which was drawn up as fol. lows:
