THE celebrated case of Pinal county vs. the bondspen of P. R. Brady, Jr., defaulting county treasurer, came to an abrupt conclusion last Saturday after the jurymen were in the box. The suit was for something over $6,000, but by consent of the attorneys Judge Doan instructed the jury to bring in a verdict for $l ,000. The matter was in such shape that it was impossible to tell when the shortage took place owing to the fact that the Board of Supervisors had made settlement with the Treasurer on bank statements and other papers contrary to law, which requires the actual cash to be counted. United States Attorney Morrison had been employed by the Supervisors in these Brady cases at an expense to the county of $500. notwithstanding we have two able lawyers in District At torney Wm. R. Stone and his assistant, James E. O'Connor, Esq. Mark Smith conducted the defense. The TRIBUNE has felt obliged to criticise the Board of Supervisors for it's glaring neglect of duty and has thereby gained the en- mity of at least two of its members. This if to be regretted, as it is not personal matter with us. Official acts are matters which every citizen is in- terested in, and are perfectly fit sub ject for criticism. A newspaper which fails to call attention to neglect of duty on the part of public servants is not properly performing it's mission. This is all the TRIBUNE has done, and it claims no particular credit for it, though letters and words of com mendation recently received would in- dicate that it is something out of the way in Pinal county journalism.

What it Means.
lFrom the Tucson star.l

I Editor c. D. Reppy, of the Florence TRIBUNE, is in the city, and reports Florence enjoying more than usual prosperity. He has hobby, that is, the water reservoir project of the Buttes or the San Carlos. Either suits him, but he wants dam to store the flood waters of the Gila, by and through which the Indians on the Pima reservation eau be supplied with water for farming purposes, and by which they may become self-sustainine. Editor Reppy is the father of the policy urging the government to build 3 reservoir for conserving water for these Indians He has been stead- fly advocating the policy through his journal, the TRIBUNE, since he be- came it's editor and proprietor. It is not surprising that he considers it first in consequence to all other issues, for it's accomplishment means 1000 In- dians made self-supporting. It also means city of several thousand in- habitants at Florence and a large, prosperous farming community in the valley of the Gila. The movement for building this reservoir by government aid was conceived by newspaper man, like everything of importance in the territory has been. Its agitation has been carried on by the press and the result will be achieved by the press. Editor Reppy has just cause to be proud of the progress thus far made in the Buttes or San Carlos dam project.

 TIE TRIBUNE has no complaint to make against any man for refusing to support an unworthy candidate, even if running on his own party ticket. In fact, we admire and emulate such in- dependence. But man who goes in : to convention as delegate as well as candidate for office, is defeated for the nomination, moves to make the nomination of his opponent unanimous, and then goes out and tries to defeat him, is beneath the notice of decent men. This is our answer to four columns of tirade.

WHILE in Phoenix last week Cover. nor Murphy allowed us to read copies of letters he had recently mailed to Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock, Representative Sherman, chairman of the House Committee on Indian Af- fairs, and others, in which he strongly urged the building of the San Carlos reservoir on the plans proposed by the engineers of the Geological Survey. The letters proved to us that the Gov srnor has taken up the matter in earn est, and that he has made an ex- laustive study of the subject, as his arguments in favor of construction ,f the dam as specially meritorious individual case are unanswerable. The TRIBUNE regrets that 1t has been ed astray as to Governor Murphy's position in this matter and hastens to nake the amende honorable.

THE editor of the TRIBUNE was Q member of the committee on platform in the late democratic territorial con. vention and got in his work in the shape of the following resolution, which represents more fully than any. thing else the TRIBUNE's politics:
 We are strongly in faycr of government system of irrigation of arid lands. and the building of storage reservoirs by the gov ernment, and oppose the cession of arid lands to the states and territories. mere tithe of the money spent in subjugating the Filipinos and acquiring the Philippine islands, if judiciously expended in water storage, would result in an expansion 6 thousand fold more beneficial to our people

IN the recent democratic convention something was said about an aspirant for office being a "bawn democrat, , meaning, we suppose, that he was a democrat from infancy-about as miser- able tribute to his character as could be imagined. In these days man who endorses the democratic platform from conviction and principle is con sidered much more worthy of com mendation among people who have a mind above an oysters.

Yesterday the Medicos Visited tn,
County Jail-Talked With Con-
demned Men.

The Rocky Mountain Interstate Medi-
cal society met this morning with a con-
siderably larger attendance than on the
opening day, many members from distant
points having arrived.
President Cole presided and the reading
of papers was resumed. This feature is,
of course. the most interesting and i'm
portant of any to the members.
Il The first paper was on the use of Pilo-
carpine in the treatment of inebriety,
which was presented by DIR. E.. P. Hersey,
of Denver. Judging from the discussion
that followed, it awakened intense inter-
est.
DR.. S. D. Hopkins of Denver, read a
very interesting paper on the clinical
Significance of Tremor."
These papers, with the discussions oc-
cupied the time until noon.
tbs afternoons session was opened by
DIR. T. A. Gregg who e a paper on

President Cole announced as a nomin-
ating committee, DR.. Pike, Of Provo.
Utah, DR.. Holmes of Denver, DR.. Carter, of
Wyoming and DR.. Murray, of Butte. this
committee will late this afternoon report
a list of officers for the ensuing year
President Cole announced that the ban
quet would take place at the McDermott
tonight, and that all members would re-
ceive tickets with the compliments Of the
committee.
DR.. Hersey, of Denver, paid a compli-
ment to the local committee for it's grace
full hospitality. He was rather opposed to
accepting a complimentary banquet for
the sole reason that hereafter, the meet
ings might be held at some place where a
complimentary banquet could o be ten
dered. He was opposed to it simply as a
precedent.
President Cole said that DR.. Herssey's
remarks were entirely pertinent. However
this banquet was not to be considered as
a precedent so that objection was re-
moved.
Tomorrow morning the visitors will &C
down into the mines.

VISITED THE JAIL.

Yesterday being one of the two days
set apart by the sheriff for persons to
visit the county Jail, some of the physi-
clans in attendance at the meeting of the
Medical Association in Judge Lindsay's
department of the district court put in a
few minutes yesterday afternoon inspect
ing the interior of the institution. All of
the prisoners charged with grave offenses
We're pointed out to them, among the
number being Daniel Lucey, whose exc
cution for the murder of Patric l.. Regain
is scheduled for September IA. DR.. Cole,
president of the association, was one of
the visitors n asked Lucey how he felt.
Lucey replied that he felt all right. He
was given some cigars.
You haven't very long to live and
am sorry I cannot wish you a long life,'
remarked DR.. Cole.
Lucey smiled and began to discuss his
case with the DOCTORS. He said he nae
been unjustly convicted of the murder OF
Regain; thai the testimony against him
was all circumstantial and some of IL
showed that the man who was last seer
with Regain was fully three inches taller
than himself. Lucey further told the
physicians he was an habitual user OF
morphine; that he consumed two tablets
three times a day. He sal he was not
worried over his approaching dissolution
and had given up all hope of escape from
the execution.
