The trial of F.. l.. and F. M. Gibson. of MorriStown. against whom a war rant had been sworn out by Frank Lee, charging them with assault with intent to commit murder. came Up before Jus tice Gray yesterday morning. the Gib- sons having come in on a telegram the night before. A compromise was eff fected under which E. M. Gibson agreed to plead guilty to simpla assault. IT. T the Gibson brothers proceeded to d. tate the biography of the complainant Lee. They said he was a hobo by pro- feSsiOn and had been run OGt of Phoenix by tha police. Thence he drifted north where he had engaged in questionable enterprises. He had tried to hold up saloon a a mining camp and failed. He escaped prosecution b cause the pro prietOr did not care to fool away any time on him. Then he came t. Morris town and the Gibsons got him job with the Trilby and Belle gold mine, but he was quickly discharged on ac- count of his general worthlessness. Af- ter that he went to an Italian saloon keeper named BOssu. a MOrristOwn. and proposed to run the GibsOns out in consideration of the signing of con tract which Bcssu understood to be q quit claim deed to his saloon. The contract was not signed. He next wrote the Gibson brothers. they said. threatening or blackmailing letter and that is what made the trouble. They went to his tent on Monday night to in- quire the full import of it. Thinking them two natives of the commonwealth of Missouri he seized a shot gun with the idea of shooting them. E. M.

 RENSON'S ARTESIAN WELLS.-A correspondent of Tucson paper says
 that last Wednesday morning another excitement was raised in Benson by the report that another flow of water had hlen struck at the artesian we'll and soon people were flocking toward it on foot. in buggies. on handcars and any other possible way. For the last few days they had been digging in clay and hardpan. At a depth of $50 feet an other strata of sand was struck and a flow of water equal to that found a wlek ago, obtained. Now. when the machine is not at work. good sized stream flows steadily. The well will be
 bored 150 feet deeper in the hope of obtaining a larger flow. Altogeth r the prospects are very encouraging for plenty Of artesian water in Benson. as over eighty wells have been successs sul- ly sunk up the river a few miles ana a few down the river.

 THE USE OF WATER.-Econoray in method and good management in the use of water are two things that for the irrigator should be second only to the question of abundant supply. For months past the resounding cry has been mo water and yet when the can als were suddenly filled the other day many faIneres We're unable to get 2 full head. simply because their ditches were not cleaned. The present rise in the river is not as great as expected, but it is worth thousands of dollars to the valley and would have been worth still more if all had been prepared to use it to the best advantage. This does not apply alone to the farmer. for many tOwnspeOple who have but a few lots to irrigate found themselves in the same condition. But there will De more rain and every energetic land owner will clean his ditches if they require it and get ready to be blessed.

LOAD ON HIS CONSCIENCE.
A Confederate Veteran Pays for Goods Taken
Near Gettysburg.

A curious story of a man with a con-
science is being told by the Postmaster Of
Fairfield. q village about seven miles from
Gettysburg, Pa.
The Postmaster says that few days ago
he received letter from Confederate vet
eran, in which the veteran SAYS that he
was in the battle of Gettysburg and that
on the retreat from Gettysburg lie was one
of a party who forciblv. and, as he now
thinks, illegally, took some dry goods
stored away in 4 little village. whose name
he thinks is Fairfield. He says that the
village was not many miles from Gettys-
burg, and in the line of march of Lees re.
treat
+ In the letter he asked the Postmaster if
possible to find the name of the owner Of
the little stock of goods that was taken by
some Confederate soldiers. The Post
master located the place from which the
goods were taken, and sent the soldier the
name of the injured party. A few days
ago the Postmaster received a check for SIS,
which the old soldier thought would make
amends for his part of the transaction and
at the same time relieve his conscience of
load which it has been carryiag for 81 years
