DISTRICT COURT
The Trial of Hale For Forgery Begun
 Yesterday.

The trial of Lucas Leon, charged with embedding a horse belonging to another Mexican living near Glendale was concluded in district court yester- day morning, and late yesterday after noon the jury returned verdict of not guilty. It was plain that the horse had belonged to the complaining wit ness and that Leon had brought 1t to Phoenix and sold it. It was upon this showing that the indictment was found.
 The trial. though, brought out a great mass of testimony, out of which the jury selected the following as the most probable set of facts: Leon and the owner of the horse had been drink ing near Glendala. At last their whisky and their cash were exhausted, but their thirst was as robust as at the be- ginning. It was suggested either by the owner of the horse ur by Leon that the horse might be turned into money, the money into whisky, and thus the untimely end of the drunk might be averted. There is neither a horse mar ket nor a saloon in Glendale. so Leon brought the animal to Phoenix. He sold it for s at a saloon at the corner of First and Monroe streets. invested the proceeds in whisky, drank it him. self and the next day returned to the owner, whose thirst had bean succeed ed by sdberness, indignation and a truer appreciation of horses. He caused the arrest of Leon and upon his truthful, but unexplained com plaint, he was brought to trial
 The trial of Alexander H. Hale, in- dicted for forgery and uttering a for gerry, was begun late yesterday after noon. Hale was indicted for securing from the Phoenix National bank and elsewhere large sums of money by means of checks bearing the name of H. William Stevens, general manager of the Trilby and Belle gold mines, where Hale had been employed for a shont time. The presentation of these forged checks at the bank covered 50 long a period that some of them which had been paid had been sent with other vouchers to the mine. Mir. Stevens came to the -ity to see about it, and while he was at the bank talking to the officers about 1t and saying that he suspected Hale to be the forger, Hale came in with another check. When he saw MT. Stevens he quickly left the bank, got into buggy and drove away before any move was made to appre- bend him. He was captured at Tempe the same afternoon. The forgery was so skillfully executed that it could be distinguished from the genuine sigma ture only by close inspection. The true signature is a peculiar one, So that the forgery was all the more worthy of ad- mlration. MT. Stevens was the first witness. His examination in chief was not concluded when court was ad- adjourned.
 In the morning c. w. Harris and Mrs. c. M. BinfOrd who were indicted a week ago for the violation of the EdmuniS act, Were arraigned and pleaded not guilty. Their trials were set for December IS.

ALL EUROPE ALARMED
The Peace Maker HI at an
 InOppOrtune Time
A Fear That in the Event of Sue cession to the Russian Throne Eastern Affairs Would Become Complicated.

London, Nov. b. The announcement that the czar of Russia is suffering from typhoid fever has caused grave apprehension throughout Europe. and but for the announcem5 mt that his nsa!ady is taking a favorable course the news of his illness would have ere ated nothing less than consternation.
 All the English newspapers comment on the czar's illness with peculiar sym pathy. The czar has exhibited con- sistent attachment to the cause of peace, says the Times. Tt is hardly necessary to say that any event which would lead to a change in the occupa- tion of the Russian throne at the pres 5nt crisis in the far east, might gravely prejudice the situatiOn."

TOWARDS DISCOVERY
He is Diverted From the Story of the
 French Revolution.

Stanford University. Cal, Nov. 15.- Probably the closing scene in the agi- tation over Dr. Ross resignation oc cured today when Dr. George E. How ard, head professor of the history de parttmsnt, turned from the regular course of his lecture on tine French rev. olution to speak of the removal of Pro- lessor Ross. When Dr. Howard began his lecture he said: T do not feel like talking of the French revolution today. I must apologize to you fer the lec- tures [ have been giving during the past few weeks. I find I was all wrong. If you remember. I told you that the conditions in France before the revolu- tion. where no man could safely utter his thoughts, were m marked contrast to the freedom of this day and age.
 "As I stand. l was wrong, for we have in our very midst an example Of the culttailment of individual right and liberty as heinous as those I have been discussing with you in connection with this course. There are examples oe heroism in our own time which We may we'll discuss. You men and woman stand for free thought. stand for what you think is right, and don't be afraid to let people know what you think
 The professor then spoke of the great work which Mrs. Stanford had done, and he pointed to the bright fu- ture which the university had. He said he did not consider MIts. Stanford in any way to blame fer the removal Cf Dr. Ross, but laid the whole blame on the monied interests which had com Fel.ed Mrs. Stanford to take the ac- tion she did.
 Professor Howard concluded his speech with this sensational ut terance: n do not bow down to the saint of Market street. I do not dof my hat ito the Six Companies, nor am l afraid of the Standard Oil"
 The address was received with great applause from hundred or more me,n- bers of the class and it soon became talked about all over the campus. Many of the students desired to hold a mass meeting in order that the opinion Of the students could be made known. but at the request of Dr. Jordan it was not done.
