 DEATH OF MISS ELZEY LEE Miss Elzey Lee, daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Frank P. Lee of Buckeye, died yesterday afternoon after a long illness. Her health failed about two years ago, but it was only within the last year that the deadly character of her illness manifested itself in the form Of con sumption and as late as last June there was hope that that fear might not be well grounded. Since then, though, she sank slowly and death was known to be inevitable. The funeral will take piacs tomorrow at 10 o'clock at Bradleys un- dertaking parlors. Miss Lee was 24 years of age and for eight years had been a consistent member of the Chris tian church.
 WILL BE SOMETHING DOING.- There will be something doing in this town Saturday night. Dec. 14th. but only a few will be able to fully under stand just what it is. That few will be the fifteen tyros that the Dramatic Order of the Knights of Khorassan propose to snake over the burning
  which they will be drowned in camel's milk. Preceding the ceremonial ses- sion, at 7:30 in the evening, there will be big street parade on which occa- sion the friends of the tyros, if they have any, will be allowed to look upon them for the last time before they are tried by fire and turned out as bright jcweles in the knigftly diadem. The parade will be headed by a uniformed band, which never appeared in public before, and in all probability never will again.
 CHENOWITH VS- BRILL.-The time of Justice Burnett's court was taken up the greater part of yesterday with the case of Chenowith against Brill. d dispute over a pasture bill This was the second trial.

The de fendant then took a change of venue to Justice Burnett';s court and the plaintiff demanded a jury. Chenowith sued Brill for S11S.50 for pasture. It appeared that Brill had cattle in pas ture on Chenowith's land and later IT.. fused to pay pasturage after he began feeding the cattle hay. It was his theory that. in biblical language MT Chenowith was trying ito double shoot the turn He made a tender of about S65 to cover tn period previous to the beginning of the hay buying. Justice Gray gave Chenowith judgment for s.3 and his costs. The jury yesterday gave him judgment for S115.40 The costs ir the case amount almost to as much as Chenowith's version of the pasture bill and the litigation may be said to have only begun.
