 An interesting case in the United States court yesterday was that ol Rafael Soto, who was charged with cutting wood from the government land at Douglas, which was ordered stricken from the docket by Judge Street. This decision has raised an interesting question among the law yers. It seems that Soto has been tried before and upon demurrer the case was dismissed; an appeal was taken to the U. s. supreme court but by some means it appeared again on the calendar. Now the decision of Judge Street in ordering the case stricken entirely from the docket is questioned by some of the attorneys. The U. s. district attorney may ap- peal again to a higher court.-Ga- zette.

 There is every probability to believe that early consideration will be given the question of the rehabilitation of Fort Whipple, and that the action to be undertaken will be based on the fulfillment by Prescott something over a year ago of guaranteeing to the military a suitable and sufficient system of water works for the post. This pledge of Prescott has been car ried out to the letter, and in a short time it is said the war department will be advised of the completion at this end of the understanding agreed on semi-officially of a water supply, and action will be asked for in com pliance at the other end. The main drawback to Whipple being imme- diately rebuilt and regarrisoned was stated by the various military commission to visit it as due solely to the quality and quantity of its water, and if these two features of the prop osition would be adjusted, the post would be at once recommended for favorable action. The new system of our water supply is completed. By it the volume is sufficient for five times the needs of the city's popula- tion, while in qualityit it is pronounced the most healthful of any city in the southwest. On the representations made by military men in the past, and the fact of this city being burdened heavily with a debt to comply with official representations made from time to time, Whipple should receive early and earnest consideration for either abandonment or resurrection.
