An Ancient Toll Abolished.

Windsor bridge across the Thames
has just been freed from its two-penny
toll through the greed of the corpora
ton. This had an undoubted right to
collect tolls from prescription as they
had been taken since the reign of
Henry VI It asked Parliament in
1884, and again in 1919, for power to
charge additional tolls, and obtained
it for limited number of years. The
privilege expired about ten years ago,
bat the corporation continued to col
lect the money till litigious Briton
refused to pay, thus bringing the mat
ter TO the attention of the courts.

NOTA6LE VISITORS
Two Well Known womsn'S Suffrsg.
lists In the City.

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait and Miss
Mary C. Hay. who were in attendance
upon the woman suffrage convention,
are making a tour through the west.
visiting state woman suffrage conven-
lions. They have just arrived from San
Francisco, where the California con-
vention was held, and are stopping at
the Hotel Adams.
With the exception of Arizona anG
New Mexico, there is now a suffrage
organization in every state and terri
tory of the union. In Arizona and
New Mexico organizations have been
heretofore established, but owing to
the expense of travel and lack of facil-
tiles, they have been allowed to lapse
into a state of inactivity. The visit Of
Mrs. Gait and Miss Hay is for the Dur-
pose of re-establishing these organiz2-
tions and, as noted in another column,
the first session of the Arizona cOnven-
ton will be held today in the Patton
Grand. The New Mexico convention
has been called to meet on the 2Srd
inst. The state organizations of the
suffrage association hold annual meet
ings and among the duties of Mrs
Gait and Miss Hay are visits to these
state conventions where they lend
valuable assistance in the routine
work as we'll as creating public en-
thusiasm from the lecture platform.
Their present itinerary embraces
twenty-one states and territories, of
which fourteen have already been Wis
tied.
The ladies are we'll known to quite a
number of people in this city, as they
spent some time here last winter.
Mrs Gait addressing the Legislature on
the suffrage question. She is good
speaker, both argumentative and elo-
quent and all who have had the priv
Iege of listening to her from the plat
form will be pleased at the opportunity
offered to hear her again at the opera
house.
In a short interview yesterday she
said she felt greatly pleased with the
progress of the suffrage movement. In
fuences outside the organization of
the women's societies, are at work, the
result of which is noted in the largely
increased membership of the state and
/ local societies. Sentiment favorinS
the movement, she believes, is rapidly
/ crystallizing. A large audience will
| doubtless greet her at the Patton
Grand both of opponents and friends of
the cause. This too, is to her liking, as
she would rather speak to an assem-
/ blage of those who are arrayed against
: the movement, than to any one else
and all will be made welcome whatever
/ their creed or convictions.

with the rapid growth the Salt River

q QUICK TRIP
Sheriff nurray RuoS Down TO Yuma
Between Meals.

Sheriff Murray made a quick trip to
Yuma, leaving here Saturday evening
and getting home in time to build a
fire in the kitchen stove for breakfast
Sunday morning. He arrived in Yuma
in time to return on the east bound
train which was a few hours late. Cen
eral Miles was on board the train, but
Mr.. Murray has not yet learned wheth-
er it was held in Los Angeles pend
ing the great warriors arrival from the
north or whether it's detention was sole
ly for his convenience.
His visit was for the purpose of es-
corting w. \. Fulwiler to his new quar-
tiers in the territorial prison and Mr..
Murray says that during the journey
the young man expressed himself as
having seriously considered the admon-
ition of Justice Street preceding the
sentence. He said ne was firmly re-
solved that when he regained his lib
erty he would abstain from intoxicants
which had been his downfall and begin
life over again.
Speaking of Pearl Hart Sheriff Muir
ray says that while she received
only five years sentence her under
study and Gccomplice, Boot, was sent
up for thirty years, thus getting a note
worthy compliment for playing second
fiddle. Whatever one does it always
pays TO be a star actor. y ''supe" al

of these were aware of the circum-
stances leading up to the fight. Mon
toya can talk very little English and it
remains yet to be ascertained pOsit-
lively whether the two MeXicans clinch-
ed or whether MOntoya attempted to
run away and was stabbed under these
circumstances.
Montoya was removed to his home
and was visited by DR.. Hughes, the
county physician. The injured man
was found to be suffering much pain.
The doctor ascertained that the knife
blade had penetrated the lower part of
the left lung. near the lower end of the
scapula, missing the shoulder blade by
half an inch, The blade had cut its
way into the vital organs between the
sixth and seventh ribs. The injured
man may get well, as he seemed to be
bearing up under the shock and had a
good pulse. but it is evident that the
call was a very close one.
The knife with which the stabbing
was done is of medium size. The blade
has a long point and was evidently
driven it's full length into Montoya's
back.

STABBED IN THE BACK
Rafael rontoya is Seriously Injured
by Refugio Gotta.

The Sabbath quietness in Phoenix
was broken yesterday by a stabbing
ARRAY between two Mexicans. in which
Rafael Montoya was seriously injured
and as a result of which the assailant.
Refugio Gotta, is laying in Jail. The en-
tire affair may be taken up by moral
lists as exemplifying the unwisdom of
desecrating the Sabbath day.
Gotta is a storekeeper with a place of
business on South Seventh avenue, and
Montaya owes him a bill. AS business
was slack, no doubt, Gotta thought the
time was propitious to attempt col
lection of the amount. Accordingly at
noon or shortly after that hour yester-
day, Gotta walked over to the settlement
south of the Phoenix cemetery where
Montoya lives and met that individual
in the open air. Gotta demanded pay
ment of the bill, which Montoya re-
fused. After some words had passed
between the two men, Gotta took his
pocket knife and stabbed Montoya i'll
the back, close to the backbone. Gotta
thought he had killed his victim and
leaving the scene walked k1rriedly to
Justice Johnstone's office. where he an
nounced that he had killed man.
Gotta was apparently so much agitated
that he had forgotten the manner in
which he had stabbed MontOya and
told his inquireTs that MOntOya's throat
was cut close up under the chin and
ear.
1t looked like a case of murder. sure
enough, and preparations were being
made to take a cOrOner's jury to the
scene when information was received
that the ARRAY was less serious than
at first reported.
Deputy Sheriff Charley Standard
went to the Mexican settlement and
made an investigation. He found that
Montoya was wounded in the back and
was suffering much pain. The attempt
of the deputy sheriff to get a straight
and connected story of the stabbing
was only partially successful. 1t was ap
parent that the affair was witnessed by
a number of persons but their ignorance
of the facts was a little surprising

THREE INDIANS ARRESTED
a Sheriff Posse DesCendS Upon
Alleged CsfIIS Thieves.

Deputy Sheriffs Moore and Murray
arrived in town at 10 o'clock last night
with three Indians under arrest and
lodged them in the county Jail for safe
keeping. The Indians are charged with
cattle and horse stealing. One of them
is the aborigine who figured in hand
to hand tussel with Mr.. Jenkins, a few
days ago in which the latter nearly
came out second best.
The deputy sheriffs left town early
yesterday morning, taking with them
an Indian policeman. They passed
/, through the reservation south of here,
and, arriving at the old Maricopa wells,
found the trail to be getting hot. About
ten miles south of the wells the posse
overlook the Jenkins Indian jogging
along on a diminutive gray horse that
he had evidently stolen and for which
the officers We're hunting. In addition
to carrying the big buck Indian, the
little horse was loaded down with an
additional burden in the person of the
squaw wife of the pursued.
Retracing their steps, the posse ar
rived again at the Indian settlement
and made two other arrests. The ques-
ton of transportation was then a seri-
GUS one, but was finally solved, two of
the Indians being loaded behind the
deputy sheriffs and the third tied to
the little gray horse that had been
stolen. In this manner the journey was
made to the ella river crossing, where
lumber wagon and harness were bor-
rowed of the local storekeeper. The
saddle horses were hitched up and the
balance of the journey was made with
out startling incident.
The deputies found that the jenkins
Indian has terrorized the natives on the
ella river reservation and has gained
the reputation among them of being a
fighter When arrested, however, he
was unarmed and made no resistance.

NEWS or THE CARNIVAL
a Succession Made for Float Rep

A resident of the valley-a lady, by

ton of a float, which was sent to and
received by the corresponding secre-
tary of the carnival The letter ex-
plains itself:
Dear Sir: I presume this should be

ration, but not being positive as to the
manner in which it ought to be ad-
dressed, take the liberty of sending It

as to turn it over to the proper person
or persons.

consideration the following-as some
thing in the way of an idea that might
be used for the carnival parade. 1t
seems to me to be a good plan to have
a float that would represent Phoenix

The newspaper men of Navajo coun-
ty ought to get together on the propo-
sition to send a maid of honor to the
Phoenix carnival. All of the counties
of Arizona will be represented, it is
hoped, and a number are already en-
gagged in the task of choosing the maid
by ballot. Come. Messrs. Argus and
Mail, don't let Navajo county go to
sleep on this important proposition.

The contest for maid to the queen of
the carnival has been auspiciously in
augurated in Coconino county. 1t is
hoped by the carnival ASSOCIATION that
every county in the territory may be
represented. The position of maid of
honor will be an exceedingly honorable
one and in addition will give the
young lady chosen a most delightful
week in the territorial capital. The
Flagstaff Gem has the following to say
regarding the contest in Coconino
county:
The voting contest for the election
of a maid of honor to attend the
queen of the Phoenix. carnival opened
at a late hour today. 1t is predicted
that the contest will be lively from
now on till the close. Candidates may
enter the race at any time before the
polls are closed. When the contest
warns up the result each day will
be announced.
Only three candidates have been en-
tered as we go to press. namely:
Miss Emma Hocherffer.
Miss Agnes Todd. .....................15
Miss Alice Metz. Ia
Votes are five cents each. the money
derived from the balloting to be de-
voted toward paying the expenses of
the maid chosen, and the expense of
her costume.
The maid will attend the queen of
the carnival in the parade on Monday
of carnival week and also at the grand
dress ball and banquet to be given in
O'Neill hall on Friday night of car
nival week. The position of maid will
therefore be one of great prominence
and social distinction.
The contest will close at 7:S0 p. m.
