 Charges have been preferred against Chief Justice Street of Phoenix, by members of the bar of Arizona, al- leging that he Hives too high for his salary. Contrary tO previous report that Governor Murphy was the chief investigator of the charges against
 the chief justice, the later dispatch says the Governor is Judge Streets
 friend and is in Washington in his in-
 terest. Judge Street has had con
 ference with the attorney general and 1t is said however, that the charges are not sufficiently specified to jus
 tlfy the attorney general to take cog
 nizance of them.
 Both the Copper Queen and Con-
 monwealth companies have filed suits against CochiSe county in re their
 taxes, says the Tombstone CorrespOn- dent of the Range News. We have not examined the records, but under stand the former proceeds by certio- rari and the latter by injunction. The suits were filed on the 30th and 3lst, so as to avoid the effect of the provision in the new code, that taxes must be paid under protest in order to get into court. They will doubtless be able to keep the county out of their taxes un- til the litigation is settled under the present conditions. "

GrannOn had been in Clifton drinking, and when he went out to camp was suffering from the ef- fleets of the Clifton whiSkey. Reports vary regarding the actual killing, but mostly agree that it was d cold blooded murder. It is possible that Grannon thought it necessary to keep his job as fighting man chat he should do little killing, and improved the opportunity by killing the cook. Liberal
 Cattlemen and stock dealers will learn with consteTnatiOn that the new code does not give them adequate pro- tectiOn against thieves, says the Re- publican. A complaint was made in Justice Burnet'S court yesterday by an Indian against John Doe, who had stolen his horse. It was then discOv- cred that the stealing of horse is not a felony if the stolen animal is worth less than $50, Thus a horse thief might steal more than half the horses in MaricOpa county seriatim and avoid the penitentiary. The new law IS the tarthest swing of the pendulum, a re- action from the old law, which made the theft of any kind of a horse or COW, however nearly worthless, a fel- l Dny.
