THE rOMELO
People Would Be Better For a Better
 Acquaintance With It.


 Many of the people of Phoehix have llir'e conception of the many good things that are produced here in the valley. This valley enjoys the distinc- tion of growing the finest grapefruit, or more properly spyaking pUmelos, on the continent, and yet it is a fruit thar to a large = extent is-practically un- known in local homes and rarely seen upon local tables. Invalids and even those in perfect health by liberal use of this fruit should combine its health giving properties with our peerless cll- mate.
 For medicinal purposes it leads all the citrus fruits, and its real value from this point of view is as yet un- known. Inva!ids find 1t just the thing To tone up their system; it is sure preventive of that languid feeling so preval nt in spring; when used in feV- CTS it is fully as beneficial as quinine without the deleterious effect of that drug, and is one of the finest tonics In the world. Women find it exceedingly valuable. A German physician pro nounc, s it 'a cure for incipient con sumption and kindred lung troubles It is a well known fact that people with weak lungs wintering in Florida have derived permanent benefits from eating the fruit regularly.

BOB KANE A HERO
Stops Runaway and Rescues Boy
 From a Dangerous Place.

Mir. Robert Kane. the manager of the buffet at the Hotel Adams has recently become hero Heroics are entirely out of Mir. Kane's line and he modestly disclaims any idea of credit, but never tholess he deserves his dues for little trick he performed last Sunday after noon, wherein he rescued small boy from a very dangerous predicament and milk wagon from probable disaster.
 MT. Kane is quite an expert horseman and is the owner of one of the nnest saddle ponies in the valley. Sunday af- ternoon he had returnad from a ride and hitching his horse in front of his residence, on West Van Buren street, was resting on the porch. A dairyman's s team. attached to a wagon which con tained young boy, came tearing down Van Buren street. Mir Kane saw the danger of the lad and as the team whlrled past and then turned north on Grand avenue, he was in the saddle and in hot chase. The team was in a dead run and had two blocks start, but Mr. Kana's horse closed the gap rapidly X few blocks north the team turned westward. but by this time Mir. Kane had caught the wagon and calling out encouragement to the frightened boy. he grasped the bit of the near horse. The rescuer is not heavy man and the team was a big one and wild with fright. They lurched to one side and Mir Kane was pulled nearly from his saddle. His horse, though, an in- tellgeTt brute, clung close to the side of the derelct team and after a fierce struggle Mr. Kane pulled them down. He was nearly exhausted from the fight but htched his pony to the wagon, turned the team and drove back un
 til he met the driver. who was plodding along on the trail of his rig.

SUPREME COURT
The End of the Docket Reached
 Today.

Judge Kibbey attorney for the appel lant in the case of Ward vs. Sherman ct al, moved in supreme court yester- day to file a statement of facts. The motion was allowed as was a similar motion by Judge Alnswor.h for the ap- police. The case was submitted cn briefs last Friday This is the rather curious case in which the appellant sued the appelhees, sherman anl Har- denburg, for $l,50o, the value of some cattle sold by HprdSnburg from a range which he and sherman had bought of Ward but had nOv paid for, Sometime before the filing of the suit Ward resumed possession of the range and retained possession of the notes given by Sherman and Hardenburg. By an accounting In the course of the trial il was shown that Ward hal said from the range during ilis last occupancy cattle to the amount If ST0,O00. 1t was decided that he was not he owner Of the range but was accountable to sherman and Hardenburg According ly a judgment was rendered against him for $70,000 less the amount yet due him from the defendarts and other offsets, leaving about S5,G0O.
 In the case Of JGa 1lmborino, appel lant, vs the Territory, Yavapai county. the appellants attorney. T. C. Norris. was given leave to file reply briefs. The case will be argued tOSay. The cases If Griffin vs. Hurley, and Miller, administrator, vs. Miller, both from Yavapai county were submitted on briefs. The quo warranto case in the matter of the town of Jerome comes up today.
