At the business session the following

Resolved, That we desire to express

that it is the imperative duty of temple
trustees to as adequately as possible
protect the valuable interest.
We must earnestly disapprove of off,

or indirectly to the diversion of support
from the temple. either material or

These resolutions were called forth by
reason OF the attitude of the national

Cananea Company Wins.

After discussion of several days, u
court yesterday morning, regarding
the litigation between the Cobre Gran
de and Cananea Consolidated Copper
companies.
The Cobre Grande company brought
action ut law claiming that it owned
354 pertenencas out of 1000 belonging
to the Cananea Co., at the present
time.
The Cobre Grande Co., instituted
proceeding for the recovery of the 354
pertenencias, before the local Judge of
-Arizpe.- No one connected with the
Cananea Company or with VIM. e.
Greene, the original concessionaire,
seems to have received any notice of
these proceedings and tie local judge
decided, in the absence of Greene, who
was grantor of the Cananea company,
that Greene had taden forcible posses
sion of the property. Greene's lawyer
applied to District Judge Maqueo at
Nogales for a writ of ''amparo." The
judge granted the writ on the ground
that Greene had never received notice
of the proceedings, but denied it on
the other ground asked for, viz: that
there was no proof before the local
judge that Greene had taken posses
sion of the property by force.
The writ of ampato came for revision
before the supreme court yesterday
morning. In its decision it sustained
Judge Maqueo in granting the writ of
amparo on the ground that Green meyer
had notice of the proceedings against
him or the Cananea Company and re-
versed that judges decision regarding
the point of Greene taken forcible pos
session OF the property.
The decision given by the supreme
court yesterday seems to be complete
victory for Greene and the Cananea

Complete Story of the Growth of
Arizona in the Various Counties
A Splendid Increase in our
Population.

There is great deal of interesting
Arizona's development in the past ten
years as given out by the government.
The population of the territory in 1900
122, 221, as compared with population
of SO, 030 in 1891. This shows an in
crease during the decade of 81, 592.
This large increase is due in part to
the fact that there were IS. 469 Indians
and l55 other persons, or a total of
%, 623 persons on Indian reservations,
etc., IN Arizona who were enumerated
in 1890 under the provisions of the CEN
sus act, but were not included in the
general population of the territory at
census. The population of the ter
ritory in 1870 was 9658.
The population in 1900 is more than
twelve times as large as the population
given for 1870, in the first census taken
after its organization as territory in
1868.
The total land surface of Arizona is
approximately 112, 920 square miles,
the average number of persons to the
square mile at the census of 1890 and
1900 being as follows: 1890, 0.5; 1900,
l.
The population is as follows, the first
figures in each being for 1900 and the
second for 1890.
The counties of Coconino, Navajo and
Santa Cruz have been organized since
1890, so their population for that CEN
sus is omitted:

town Saturday evening at a restaurant

prietOr of the ploce and a cowboy
named Steve Rupe Cor Ruke) in which
the cowboy was instantly killed and
the Chinaman fatally wounded.
The account of the affray given states
that Rupe, who had been drinking
quite heavily, had an alteration with
the Chinaman. He was in arrears for
several meals, and at the time of the
alteration went into the restaurant to
get his supper, which was refused him
unless he should first pay what he
owed. At this Rupe took offence and
drew his pistol, with the avowed inten-
tion of shooting the Chinaman. Chas.
Weiser, who was present, took the
pistol away from the man, who then
went down the street to get gun. He
returned shortly with Winchester
Weiser again attempted to disarm him
outside. but Intellectually. Breaking
away from Weiser he entered the res
taurant and found the Chinaman
awaiting him with a revolver. Stimuli
taneously the two men opened fire, and
Rupe was instantly killed and the
Chinaman mortally wounded, and is
expected to die mOmentarily.
