PHOENIX IS STILL HIS HOME |
Mr.. Walter Talbot yesterday received
from General a. J. Sampson, United
States minister to Ecuador, very in I
teresting letter enclosing a donation of /
S25 for the Phoenix board of trade /
General Sampson stated that he still /
claimed Phoenix as his home, and /
though thousands of miles away he !
retains his interest in the welfare of /
the city, appreciates the value of the /
board of trade, and as indicated above !
viii give literally TO its support. If
every Phoenician was as thoughtful, 1
both at home and abroad, incalculabIe 1
would result.
NEW COUNTY HOSPITAL BUILD (
ING.-The board of supervisors yes
terday decided to build another ward !;
room at the hospital farm at a cost of
not more than $500, about what the /
present building cost. The dimensions
viii be 30x6O feet. The business of the
poor farm has increased beyond the
most sanguine expectations of the
mana cement. Many of the inmates
are now compelled to live in shacks and
tents 1t is not probable that the
of the farm Will fall off per-
and the board believes it will
be a saving of money to put up a plain
and substantial building and so avoid
the necessity of replacing these tents
every season.
IT COULDN'T BE PROVED. Al
bert Smith, who was arrested a few
days ago on the complaint of H. Nc
Keone charging him with stealing a
set of harness. was tried before a jury
in Justice Gray's court yesterday and
acquitted. When the complaint was
issued it was represented to the jus
-ice that there was evidence to prove
that Smith had sent set of harness
Down to the Buckeye country. No at
tempt was made to prove anything of
he sort. The-anly evidence was that
Smith had been working for McKeone
and that McKeone had missed two
sets of harness and had found one of
hem cached in an old stove. He
thought Smith had put it there in
ending to remove it as soon as the ex-
element had subsidized somewhat and
when the passions OF the populace had |
abated and NcKeone's grief over the
oss Of his property had the wire edge
worm off by friction with time.
