 PIMA VS. SANTA CRUZ.-In the litigation brought before the court at Nogales during the term just ended, relating to the division of the bonded indebtedness between Pima and Santa Cruz counties. the district court con strued the legislative act of the last session in the winter of 1S9S-99. creating the new county, not to contemplate any credit to Santa Cruz county for the court house and other property re- tained by Pima county. But the court refused the writ of mandate asked by
 
 to execute it's proportion of the debt. on the ground that the evidence showed that the joint boards of supervisors had not yet ascertained and fixed the amount of indebtedness as required by the law.
 SKULL VALLEY STORM.-Train- men of the s. F. P. & P. freight which came in late last night reported a most terrific storm of rain. wind and hail in Skull Vall=y yesterday. IL broke as they were coming down the hill The force of it is shown in the fact that the centerboard of a bOX car. which is quite distinct from a yachts center board. was ripped off by the wind. and ons side of the roof of the car was torn away. The rain fell as if poured out Of a spout. covering the ground in places u a depth of three feet. Then the musketry of the heavens ensued. HailstOnes larg5r than birds eggs and smaller than goose eggs drove the brakemen between the cars. Next came a period of Arctic cold. A fire was built in the stove of the caboose. The rain extended all along the jour ney 10 Peoria.
 TURNING CORNERS-There are hundreds of stores, bakeries. Reat markets. dairies. etc. in this city and most of them have delivery wagons. driven by well meaning boys and men. But drivers. like everyone else at times become careless and scarcely a day passes that some one does not narrowly escape being run over by somebody's delivery wagon in hastily turning a corner. Drivers who are vigorous in in pushing business scOrch up the streets when they are clear, at a pretty stiff pace. When they reach a corner around which they intend to turn they rarely ever slacken their pace. Pedes- other of the intersecting street, seeing team charging up the main street have no knowledge of the drivers in tention to turn till his horses are upon him. when he has to make lively jump fer safety. On the other hand. the driver thoughtlessly seems to imagine ! that others ought to surmise his in- tentions and give him right-of-way. Drivers should make a practice of slow ing up on turning corners or some day a distressing accident will occur.
