ANOTHER GREAT SHOW
Second Exhibition of Pains Battle of
 San Juan Hill.

Though the audience was hardly as large as at the first exhibition, thou sands gathered at Phoenix park last night to witness Pains Battle of San Juan. and the exhibition of fireworks, filling up the remainder of a long and interesting programme. Many were present who attended the night before, as the nature of the performance was unique and novel, and to see which Op- portunities are infrequent in this part of the country. Large delegations were present from Tempe, Mesa and other outside points and were highly enter tained.
 The battle of San Juan has been often described and can be disposed of with the statement that it was realistic in- deed. As to the fireworks, no such lavish burning of powder was ever wit messed in these parts as has occurred in the last two days. There was an endless variety of rockets. candles and unique pieces with the colOring of the rainbow. Some were slow in burning and gave the audience ample time to admire their beauty while others, dart ing TOcket-like to the heavens, were more in the nature Of shooting stars. The set piece that was appreci- ated above all others was the picture of President Mckinley, and as it burs- into view a cheer of wild enthusiasm rent the air.
 There was some good acrobatic work

up ir probate court yesterday. 4 hear ir5 having been Lad on a petition to assign the estate of Robert g. Brown for the .maintenace Of the widow and minor children an crder was made yes tcrday morning. The proceeding was entirely formal n this case, for under the law It Is mandatory to make such orders in estates of less than 8 eco. About noon Er. C. r. Ainsworth, att toIney for the Valley bank, appeared in court to see about a chattel mortgage the bank was holding on some cattir which Were a part of the estate. But the estate had been turned over anu it ie said the cattle had been sold. Every thing had been done il accordance with the law of this territory, but MT. Aims worth has a theory that the law is not EoUi' that there Is a Teas2 2nable limit to the law making powers Of even Ari- zJna legislatures. and that no law can be enacted to destroy a mortgage. C. J. Hall was appointed special adminis- tIator of the estate of II. II. Ca npbell. Beside valuable real estate, MT. Camp b6IEs estate in the county consists of about 5000 in the Phoenix National bank and the unknown contents of a safety deposit box. The special letters were issued only for the purpose of eX- amining the box to see if Mir Campbell had left will. Frank Drew was ap- Lp9inted guardian of the estate of Melissa A. Benton. The estate con sists of a certificate of insurance in the Woodmens Circle. A report Of the sale of. real estate of tnc estate Of Julia A. 1 FOmerOy was confirmed.

On Sunday night the police ar rested a man named Alberto Lopez and woman named Dora Pattison, but better known as Laura George, for un- lawful cohabitation. They were locked Fup. but later were released OF bond for l their appearance yesterday. With the notion of canceling their offense they decided to get married. They obtained license and were married on Monday
 The ceremony was performed by the pastor of the A. NJ. F. church. Tho woman is of negro blood The law O!
 this territory forbids marriage be tween Caucasians and personE of Af. rican, Mangolian or InGian Gescen; Lopez may not be, in fact, much of 9 Caucasian. but he is in law, which i
 
 riagos are void and the preacher or other person who Ofiiciates al such a marriage is liable. In this case, as in all others, the applicant fol the license was asked if there were any legal reasons why the carriage might not take place. He said there were none. and as his bride to be was not pres ent the license clerk had no means oi determining her color but the preacher must have been color blind. MT. and Mrs. Lopez came into police court with an air Of triumph over having circum- vented the law. The woman was fined S15 and when her husband, in his in digrant surprise threatened to clean out the court he was fined $25. They paid their fines and went away. They are still living inside the city limits, liable 10 rearreSt at any moment.
