 Regarding the talk which crops out semi-occasionally regarding the estab- lishment here of branch house by big eastern packers, in Phoenix, MT. P. T. Hurley said yesterday that there was no likelihood that such a move would be made. "There would not be busi- ness enough in the entire territory in one year to keep a packing house of any sig" running for a month" said Mir. Hurley. land even if there were no competition to be, found among the smaller butchers the amount of avail able business would not justify the bringing of a plant here, and all the big packers know it. In the second place. the alfalfa fed stock of this coun- try is not wanted outside the terri tory and the peculiar flavor of their flesh is far from equal to grain fed cat tie. Of course when diet of alfalfa is topped off with couple of months of grain feed. prime beef may be secured. but as rule grain is too high priced to feed generally"
 Mir. Hurley showed letter from the Cudahy branch at Los Angeles, stating that they had bought no Arizona hogs for a long time; in fact, were afraid of them. as hogs raised on alfalfa and no grain have a f1shy taste. not only in bacon and ham, but in lard and fresh pork. The Cudahy company is at pres ent buying its hogs in Kansas and paying s5.75 and s5.S5 in Los Angeles.
 Another letter from the Maier Pack ing company at Los Angeles said that no more Arizona hogs would be bought unless grain fed. In this information there is a valuable hint to Arizona

A MAN FOUND DEAD
Fatal Heat superinduced by Exces-
 sive Drinking.

Early yesterday morning man was found dead in a side room of the Roma saloon, at the corner of Monroe and First streets. He was soon identified as Edward L. Griggs, about 40 years of age, and who came here something more than a year ago.
 Justice Johnstone was notified ana a coroner's jury composed of Theo. Haffner, E. K. Buker, H. Hartman. J. A. Porterie, w. A. Albright and Charles Cordell, was summoned. The jury ascertained that Griggs came here from Oregon and that he has a brother residing in San Francisco. No one could be found who was intimately ac- quainted with him, but it was learned that he had been employed at Stevens livery stable for a while. but had lately been working on thresher. He came to town on Friday afternoon and be-

gan drinking heavily. Late at night he went to the Roma saloon and went into side room and lay down on the floor. He was noticed there several times during the night and quite late the proprietor, Anton Gold, passing through the room with another man. observed that he was lying in the same position he had occupied some hours earlier. He was not breathing percep tibly and the proprietor put his hand on him. He was warm and any suspicion the proprietor may have had as to his condition having been allayed, he passed on.
 When Griggs was found cold and stiff in the morning he lay in the same po- sition the proprietor and others had observed the night before. It is thought that he may have been dead then.
 In it's verdict the jury took no ac- count of the circumstance that Griggs had been drinking hard, but decided that death was a result of prostration by heat.

ARIZONA MEAT
Grain Must Be Used to Make Stock
 in Demand.

Despite the theory of vegetarians that meat Is particularly unwholesome in warm weather, Arizona people consume immense quantities of flesh every year. There are dozen butcher shops in the city, many of them better equipped than markets in the great cities, all have cold storage plants attached and all of them are prosperous. A local dealer said yesterday to a Republican representative that beef was so far in the lead of other meats, in popularity, that he sold four pounds of it to one of all other kinds. Young lamb. when ob
 tainable, is always saleable and there is a steady demand for pork, although it is generally accepted idea that pork is more heating than any other kind of met. Virtually all of the meat sold in Phoenix Is raised In the Salt River val ley, with the exception of ham and bacon. some of which is sent in from California and Is taken from stock raised in the middle western states, and

sumed consideration of the postoffice

moved to increase the salaries of 479

Mr.. Loud, chairman of the postoffice

the form of concerted attack which is
being made on congress-"
The amendment was adopted, SO to 80.
Two hours were devoted to debate of
the provisions apprOpriating $171, ,238 for
special mail facilities from New York
to Atlanta and New Orleans, and S25,-
600 from Kansas City, Mo, to Newton,
Kan. These appropriations for special
mail facilities have been attacked an
nually.
Mr. Little (Ark.) opened the debate in
opposition to them reiterating the old
arguments. He declared that they were
relics of the most vicious system of leg

Mr.. Underwood (Ala.) favored the ap-

ENROUTE TO PRISON.
Captain O. NJ. Carter Taken
From New York For Fort
LeaYenWOrth.

New York, April 26.-Oberlin NJ.
Carter, once a captain in the United
States corps of engineers, was pas
senger last night on a parlor car of the
Pennsylvania railroad train No. z,
southwestern express. In charge of an
armed guard he is being taken to the
military prison at Fort Leavenworth,
Kas, where he will serve out what re-
mains of his sentence of five years i'm
prisonment for embeZzlement- He did
not falter until the train began to move.
The mandate of the United States Su-
preme court on its decision of Monday
which dismissed Carter'S appeal was at
noon before Judge Lacombe in the
United States circuit court, and it
was at once made operative. Before
l o'clock orders for the removal of
the prisoner to Leavenworth were pro-
mUlgated by Gen Merritt and at seven
o clock at night, under circumstances of
extraordinary precaution and secrecy he
was put aboard a Pennsylvania train.
1t was explained that this was done to

oner's counsel.

ant f. R. Harker, of the Fifteenth Uni
ted States infantry Corporal Thomas
Poteet and three privates of the regi-
ment. They were in full uniform. The
party were taken away from Governors s
Island in a naphtha launch, which made
directly for the station of the PennSyl-
vania railroad, having a narrow escape
from being run down by an unknown
tug.

BOTH SMILE.
Gen. Wheeler and Mrs. Childs
Do Not Deny Engagement.

New York, April Pa Herald spe-
cial from Washington says: Persistent
rumor again couples the names of Gen.
Joseph Wheeler and Mrs. George w.
Childs, and this time there seems to be
good reason to believe an announce
ment of their engagement to marry will
be made.
When Mrs Childs was asked for a
confirmation or denial Of the -umor,
she smiled and referred the questioner
to General Wheeler. The gallant vet
eran also smiled when asked about it.
He said: 'Ill tell you what I will do.
I will see Mrs Childs and ask her to
answer your questions or authorize me
to do so.'
When seen later he said: Eyes, I
saw Mrs. Childs and I think you will
soon receive your answer. Mrs Chjlds
said she would send you a note setting
at rest all of these rumors.''
No statement could be obtained from
Mrs. Childs today. General Wheeler
admitted, however, that at a luncheon
in Philadelphia attended by Mrs. Childs
and himself they were congratulated by
mutual friends upon their rumOred en-
gagement. These congratulations were
accepted without denial though Cen
eral Wheeler now says they were un-
fortunate and untimely.

EVIDENCE ALL IN.
Swetlick Insurance Case Will
Go to the Jury This Evening.

The Swetlick insurance case will
probably go to the jury this afternoon
or this evening. The testimony was all
concluded Wednesday and today the
attorneys are bombarding the jury with
their arguments. After the speeches
are concluded Judge Hook will give
his instructions, and then the jury will
be given a chance to make up it's mind.
The argument was opened by Sidney
Hayden for the plaintiff He was fol-
lowed by Clifford Histed, for the de-
fense, and Mr.. Histed was followed in
turn by w. G. Low, of New York, gen
eral attorney for the Home Life In
surance company. This afternoon
Charles Hayden concluded his argu-
ment for the plaintiff, and was followed
by Charles Blood Smith for the defense.
After Mr. Smith gets through John H.
Atwood will close the entire case for
the plaintiff.
The rule concerning the instructions
to iuries differs in the federal court
from the state courts. In the latter the
instructions are given before the acgu-
ments are made, and the attorneys are
allowed to argue them, but in the led
eral court the instructions are given to
the jury just before it retires to the
jury room to make up its verdict.

FIFTEEN MEN HURT.

Pittsburg, Pa. April 26.-By the ex-
plosion of a portable boiler belonging to

ascertained.
