 THOUGHT HE WAS A SLAVE Walter Webster, a product of Indiana,
 4D7-- in Arizona, was in pol e i court yesterday on a charge of hobo- 1 ism. Webster is not what would be called a brilliant person and evidently . not a vicious one. but something had | to be done with him. He was given thirty days, but judgment was sus- pended while he should be out hunting a job. The court could hardly get lid of him. He thought wherever he might work he would be working Ort his fine and he wanted to know how often he should report and how much he would have to pay before he could be earning something for himself.
 WAS ONLY A STEFSON. Ramon Ybarra filed claim of $75O against the estate of Manuel Gonzalez in probate court yesterday. There is a story back of this proceeding. Ybarra be- lieved ever since he could remember that he wss Gonzalez's son, and did not know any better until after the death of the latter. when he found himself without any interest in the estate He was only stepson and Gonzalez had married his mother when he was baby. The difference in surname5 did not enlighten him. for among the Mexicans surnames do not necessarily descend. Their bestowaI depends upon fancy and circumstances. The claim of Ybarra is intended to cover three years services at the modest salary of S250 year.
