FRANKLIN PARK
IS THREATENED.
Water is Denied the Owners Of
Franklin Park and Suit is
Brought to Compel the City to
Supply It. Charges Brought
Against Supt. Gasser.

Franklin Park vs. the Mayor and
Common Council OF the City OF Tucson
and Louis CAESAR defendants, is the
title of an interesting suit begun in the
district court today.
The plaintiff it would appear is an
individual, but he is not on the contra
ry Franklin Park ia corporation
which is explained in the complaint
and owns the track OF land west of the
Owls club house in the valley which is
called Franklin Park.
The plaintiff has a grievance against the
city council in general and Louis Gasser
superintendent OF the city water works,
in particular. There can be no uncer.
tainty about the grievance against Gas
ser after one reads the complaint.
The suit is based upon the alleged
malice of .Gasser in disconnecting ftom
the city water mains the water pipes oi
the plaintiff, which supply franklin
Park. The plaintiff claims that it has
placed 1000 feet of pipe in the park for
the purpose OF watering and irrigating
about one hundred trees along the public
streets OF the city. These trees cost the
plaintiff about $500, and they have been
growing for the past three years. Now,
it 10 alleged, Mr.. Gosser has cut off the
supply OF water and the life OF the trees
is threatened. The plaintiff says if the
defendants persist in preventing flow
OF water to the trees they will die, and
great damage TO the value of plaintiffs
property will ensue.
The plaintiff holds Gasser largely re.
sponsible, claiming that the council act
ed upon his advice in shutting off the
water from Franklin Park that he mis-
represented things to the council, that
Gasser is totally incompetent to tran
sact such business as has been imposed
upon him." that Gasser is animated
by spirit OF malice and impartiality,
and there ia no relief against his in
justice except by appeal to this court"
The complaint makes a serious charge
against Gasser in stating that he dis
eliminates among the water users of the
city. The complaint says that for the
same amount OF water furnished for the
same purposes, in some instances he
charges $50 and to patron similarly
circumstanced charge of from $2 to IS
will be made.
The plaintiff offers topay for the water
supplied to Franklin Park, and agrees
to keep an accurate account OF the water
used,
The plaintiff asks the court to enjoin
defendants from preventing plaintiff
from securing and using the water nee.
essary to supply its trees from the reg
ular water mains OF the city.

An Umbrella
A Weapon Of Death.

CHLIICoTHE, Mo, June l3.-Frank
Preston, proprietor Of the Luella hotel
and bar, died this morning from the ef-
fects OF being stabbed with an umbrella
by Richard Burke on May Is.
The case is an unusual one. On the
evening OF May Is Burke was in Pres
tons saloon. Preston ordered him out,
and got up as though he intended to put
him out. As he did so, Burke, who is
a one-armed man, thrust his umbrella
in Preston's face. The steel rod OF the
umbrella struck Preston's cheek bone
and glanced into the inner corner of his
eye. The wound was not thought to be
serious at the time. but Preston became
i'll and grew steadily worse until he
died.
At a post-mortem examination this
morning it was found that the umbrella
had penetrated the skull and entered the
brain. The coroner's jury returned
verdict holding Burke responsible for
the death.

nleut has been reached in the railway

officials Of the United Traction com.
pnny and the committee from the
organization Of the strikers adjourned
without changing the situation, The
company will proceed to run It's cars
on every line within the city limits
with the aid Of n military force that
now numbers 1900 men, The only
step toward settlement that was made
was the appointment of n committee
from the common council to nrbltrate
and the adoption OF u resolution de.
clariug that II settlement is not
effected by Monday night the council
shall revoke the franchise OF the COM
pNny,
The company declares that such
action will be of no effect rs the road
now has vested right that cannot bo

ous consequences md impcdiments in
the way Of settlement than have been
anticipated at any time since the strike
was called, II Is II matter which had
not been considered by the strikers or
the public, and puts an entirely new
aspect on the situation. The company
was willing to increase the wages Of
the extra men and night trippers to
1921 cents per hour, but refused to
establish uniform rate Of 20 cents an
hour for all employees, as required by
the strikers,
A drcnching rain succeeding warm,
humid day, made 1t unpleasant for the
military guarding the city, but had the
effect Of clearing the street corners Of
crowds, Six hundred additional troops
of the Ninth regiment Of New York
City were added to the force.
