The people Of Seawells Point Norfolk

liked in Phoenix. He was a lawyer and was admitted to the bar here, but never engaged in practice. He was an interesting taIker and pleasant story teller Knowing himself to be doomed to death from consumption, he sought tG even up matters in advance with that dread disease by making Q joke of it and holding it up to popular contempt.
 He conceived the title of an imag- mary book he was going to write, Life Among the Lungers" A Re publican reporter collaborating with MT Winger, various extracts from this supposed work. were published in this paper, and a flood Of inquiries poured in from the afflicted regarding the date when the book would be put Cn the market. One man said that his wife. who had for months been looking for ward to 9 no more cheerful prospect than death of tuberculosis, had been released of half her fears by the ad- vanced sheets from Life Among the Lungers.' She could now see even the ridiculous side of consumption and sent her husband out to subscribe for the book
 There is an episode in MT Wirgsr's life worth recalling. He went to West Superior when that town first began fitting on boom. which aft srwards proved to be too big. In the course of seven years he made SIS, 600. He used to say, T believe made more money there on the amount of capital I had to invest than any other man in the United States within an equal period When ] hit the town I had fifteen cents, which I invested with wisdom and foresight that assured my ultimate success.

come more impressive, until the an niversaries shall at last be held almost sacred. Washington's personality may some time be lost sight of, but his name will become the name of an en- during principle. There is a tendency toward a loss of interest in other hOli- days. The Fourth of July may cease to be observed. Future generations may tire Of noise and spread-eagIe or atory, but they will not tire Of tte memory of the man, without whom. the republic might not have been founded
 This disposition to mournfully ceIe- brate the day is observable in Phoenix, as it is everywhere else. Flags foated, where they never fioated before, and stores were closed, that were never closed before, on Washington's birth Gay

THE CHALLENGE WAS SENT
But it Was N0t Delivered 10 inc Stu-
 dents of inc Normal School.
To the Editor of The Republican:

To the Editor of The Republican:
 Sir: The interchange of words that took place between a committee of U. of A. students and a normal.te through your paper of January 27 and 2S in re- gard to an intercollegiate contest, having led to an explanation we deem it advisable to hereby apPrise the pa irons of the respective institutions Of the true state of affairs as they have developed.
 I1 reply to the university article of the 18th of January Mir. j. Garnett Holmes stated that no challenge had been received by the student body of the normal. Upon sight Of this the committee for the U of A. student as sociatiOn (by N. w .MacChesney) WTcte to pr. McNaughtOn and requested him to state whether he had received any letter in regard to a contest; signed c. P Richmond, N w MacCnesney, Frank w. Doan. In his reply of Feb ruary ' he states Your letter address ed to Tempe normal and dated January Il, 1899, reached me January T.. This challenge, beginning:
 ''TO' the Tempe Normal:
 We, the University Cf Arizona, com municated with you some time ago eX- pressing the hope that it would be mu- tually agree ble to have a contest be- tween the two institutions and as we have not heard from you in reply, in order to put matters in definite shape, do hereby challenge you to contests in the following, etc, etc.
 This challenge was signed by Charles P Richmond, N. w. AIacCnesney and Frank w D0an as committee for stu dent association.
 He states moreover that he under stood from the address that 1t was for the faculty" What must be the state of the persons mind to imagine a committee Of U of A. students cnal- longing it's normal faculty to athletics, debates and military drill? We can only surmise.
 He does not even pretend to have no tified the normal students eff the re- eeipt of the challenge. In an interview with MT. J. Garnett HOlmec OF Febru- ary p he has convinced US that tho students were not aware Of the exist ence of the challenge until it appeared in The Republican of January 27. MT Holmes received the letter extending the time for acceptance of challenge on January 20, but could learn of no existing challenge and was awaiting it's arrival when the first Republican article appeared. The challenge at this time being in Dr. McNaughton possession, until January 20 the stu

dents only knowledge of the subject was gained through rumor.
 If we have Wronged the normal stu dents in our criticism we are heartily sorry as we feel that they age more to be pitied than censured for being placed at the mercy of a person not possessed of sufficient executive ability to deliver message to students of his own school, those whose welfare he should ever have at he2rt and be ready and willing to aid in any matter that would tend to benefit them.
 If the iGea did not meet with Dr. McNaughton's approval he might at least, as a business man, have acknowl- edged receipt Of the letter and avoided the uncertainty and unpleasantness that has resulted from his peculiar ac- tions. (Signed.)

BUT HE JAILED HIS MAN
Officer Joe Bush Has a Spirited
 Fight, With Band Of Six

While making 2n arrest about | o'clock last night at the block, Deputy Sheriff Joseph Bush was viciOusly as
 saulted by six of a gang of clever
 bridge builders from Glendale.
 The gang had been in the locality
 all the afternoon and had imbload
 quite freely of liquor After warning them three times Officer Bush thought it time to put a step to theil hilarity and approached one of the men again eXpC5tulating with him. He was in- formed by '5le man that the Santa Fe company could buy the town and WCUld take care of him, and he defed arrest.
 Bush placed the man under arrest, but nc5 without some difficulty Five others Of the gang who were close by threatened Inc officer. and as Bush was facing the crowd one Of the men hand ed the prisoner a rock. While the off cer was guarding against an attack from the five the prisoner struck him with the rock over tbe eye.
 As Bush fell to the ground he pulled the prisoner with him and in tho scfamble struck him on the head with the butt of his pistol. Upon arising he was confronted with the other members of the bridge gang and as he QlSCnGfSeU nlS WSa pom ne was JSTH6Q down by the man on the ground. At this juncture another Of tlio gang com ing up behind him struck the officer on the side Of the head with a rock, cutting 8 large gash. This blow was quickly followed by one from man named Black, supposedly the section boss, who inflicted his blow CT the of fcer's neck with a stick.
 A large crowd soon collected and Bush fred twd shots :n the air for fear Of hitting some Of the persons who had collected. Frank Scott rushed to the scene and succeeded in capturing one of the men, Bush all the while restraining his man. They were both handcuffed and befc-e leaving Q third man who had joined in the assault on the officer, was placed under arrest and all three Were lodged in the county jail. The remainder of the gang es- capped, but they will undoubtedly be lpprehended today. Officer BU5ll' 5 wounds are not serious.

SHERIFF'S FEES.
A Meeting of Representative May Be
 Held Today

The meeting Of the sheriffs of the
 territory to be held in the interest of new legislation affecting emOluments was not held yesterday. Besides Sher- ifs Wakefield of Pima Munds of Yav- apai, and Clark Of Graham, no other representatives arrived until late yes teIday afternoon, when Sheriff ITu- man of Final county came in
 The sheriffs Of the lower class cOun- ties are giving consent by silence to the Bunch bill. Sheriffs of the first and second class counties oppose it not because it reduces the pay of the sherifs office, but because under it they would be absolutely compelled to neglect their duties CT attend to them at 3 loss. There is a way, though, in which the bill if it should become a law, could be evaded with profit to the she-iffs at whom it is aimed. While the sherifs would not be entitled to fees they could turn the business over to cOnstables on t'divy." There is nothing in the law regulating the fees of cOnstables. The sheriffs, however, say they do not want to resort to this evasion and will not do it. A lately published argument in favor of the reduction of the pay of sheriffs in first class counties to a $6,000 salary, stated that the fees of Sheriff Orme last year amounted to more than S10,000. That was true. but that sum included ex- penses, which probably reduced the sherif's net pay much below the pro- posed salary.
 Ex-Sheriff Joseph B. Scott of Pima county, who is without interest in the matter, but has had 9 great deal of official experience, speaking Of the new bill, said that the legislature had bet ter adopt the old fee bills. If, how ever. the legislature believed the sheriffs were making too much money, let 8 law be enacted fixing the salary at reasonable figure and providing for the reimbursement of sheIiffs for the expense of serving processes. Let the salary, for instance, be placed at $3 ,O0O That would leave the counties Of the first class $3 ,000 with which to meet these expenses. If that sum should be sufficient, the counties would be as well off as it would be under the Bunch bill If not, the result of the experiment would net fall on the sher- if, Eut upon the whole county, which is better able to bear it. The sherifff may hold a meeting today.

IT WAS A TIE GAME
Best Foot Ball Contest Ever
 Seen in Phoenix.
Normal School Boys Won inc First Half but Failed 10 Keep inc Pace Sci and inc High School Crowded d Them to Tie.

The football game at the park yes terday between the normal and high school resulted in a tie, the score being . to 5. It was witnessed by fully 1000 people and proved to be the most hotly contested match of the season.
 As is usual in a school contest there was an abundance of rooters, the gentle sex being decidedly in evidence in that line, applauding with un- paralleled vehemence any play which seemed advantageous for their favOrte team and freely offering advice to the officials in the intricasies of their decis- ions. Never was there as much rivalry manifested in game at Phoenix as displayed yesterday. The nOrmaIs who have failed to carry off the hon CTS in the three preceding games work ed like demons to turn the tide of vic tory, while their smaller sized oppo- nents were stubborn and determined to maintain the thrice strengthened record of red and black.
 The contest was as evenly played as the score denoted, neither side leaving the gridiron with just claim to su- periority, but both warmly cCngratu- lated upon the value of their efforts. In their eagerness, the nOrmals com mitted a large number of fouls and they lost no small amount of ground on this account This necessitated the decisions of foul from the umpire ard the enactment of penalties, the nor nal Enthusiasts feeling the while that they might not be fairly treated, but on the whole few questioned the judg- ment Of the veterans who Ofhciated.

 Americans have been properly taught, that he was the greatest of men, He was not the greatest Ameri- can captain of his time. nor was ha the W1sest statesman of his period But the establishment of the gov vern- ment required enc with more than the qualifications Of a soldier and enc who was Versed in more than statecraft.
 So Washington was chosen. Ene- mics of the republic have said his elevation was brought about by the JealousIes ar>s1-2g greater and more brilliant men than he. That may have been honestly believed al that time. but men do not believe now that among all the gallant soldiers d wise statesmen Of the colonies there was another who could have made the revolt successful

JAMES WINGFR,s DEATH.
Of Which He Had Long Taken a
 Cheerful View.

Dr. Winfred Wylie yesterday re- ceived a letter announCing the death of James Winger at New Philadelphia, O., on February s. MT Winger came here from West Superior, Wis, for his health, nearly two years ago. At first he seemed to improve. but at tke end of the first year, sank into steady decline.
