u. S. VS.. Ten Head OF Cattle
fl Pulling Case

Judge Davis had cattle case to un-
tangle this morning in the United
States court, and it was not the sim
plest thing in the world by a long way.
The witnesses were all cattlemen, as
was perfectly natural, and their cattle
lingo was just as natural. The tes-
timony kept the lawyers and the court
guessing. The man on the stand
would quietly string out something
about a short-horned bob-tailed pale
red bald-faced spider or horseshoe-bar
COW, and then every one but the other
witnesses looked puzzled.
It was the case of the United States
VS.. Ten Head Of Cattle. These cattle
were seized by Inspector Hitchcock at
Bisbee from J. e. Kinney on the ground
that they had been smuggled into The
country. The claimant testified that
the cattle were purchased as usual in
Sonora, brought to Nogales and en-
tered. He identified the brands
through his buyer. and gave a COM
plete record of the cattle up to the
time of the seizure. The government
had weak case. The court decided
in favor of the claimant as soon as the
evidence was In.

POSt-O!fiCG Removal
Is Again Hgitdted

A notice which has been posted
dow in the postoffice attracted no little
attention, and has been the cause of a
sharp revival of the agitation over the
proposed removal of the postoffice to
the east end of town.
The notice in brief is a call for sealed
! proposals to lease premises, centrally
located, for postofice purposes, to the
government. 1t goes on to say that
lease Of five or ten years can be pro-
posed from May 1, 1903. The pro-
posal must provide for the furnishing
of complete system of lock boxes,
furniture, fixtures, heat, light, water,
and fire and burglar proof safe or
vault. The bids must be sent to M.
H. Flint, assistant superintendent of
salaries and allowances Of the post
Office department, before November 25.
This notice does not necessarily mean
that the postoffice will be removed
from its present quarters. 1t is simply
regular form which the government
| uses when lease is about to expire in
any quarter. Property holders with
suitable buildings will have to enter
bids to secure the postoffice. How
ever, the notice started the agitation
again in no time. 1t is understood
that S. M. Franklin intends to enter
a bid for his new building, corner
Congress and Sixth avenue This site
would suit those backing the removal
nicely, and they are sal dto be push
ing Mr.. Franklin's idea. The question
will not be settled until the lowest
bidder is known
1t is now said that the parties pro-
| noting the removal of the postoffice
have hit upon another plan for the
| use of their fund, which was raised to
help along the project. 1t was under
stood at first that they would buy a
select piece of real estate in the heart
of the business district, but with the
advantage to the east end, and would
then petition the government to erect
building on it. This idea met with
favor generally, and as the old pueblo
is much in need of a federal building,
the plan found many advocates.
However, it now appears that the pro-
moters of the removal have changed
their minds. They want the post
office in the east end, and if any one
opposed to the move secures a five or
ten year lease on a site, the whole
thing will be effectively sidetrael1ed
For this reason they have about de-
cided to buy a suitable building and
rent it to the government alta greatly
reduced rate. This scheme may be
used to effect

ROddmdster Montague
VPru Seriously Hurt

George w. Montague, roadmaster of
the Sonora railroad, is lying in Mo-
gales at deaths door. He Is suffer
ing from concussion of the brain, and
his case is said to be hopeless. DR..
Fenner was called to Nogales last
night, and left the city in all haste on
special train, as the case is most
urgent.
Mr.. Montague was placed in this
critical condition by very peculiar
accident. He was riding into No
gales, Sonora, on what is known to
railroad men as "go-devil." This
strange vehicle is composed of very
small platform with low seat, and
two wheels rest on one rail while the
third. supported by long arm, runs
on the other rail- The machine is
propelled by gasoline. From some
unknown cause the machine which Mr..
Montague was riding exploded, and he
was hurled violently to the ground.
He was brought into Nogales, SoSnora,
and it was found that he was suffering
from conclusion of the brain. DR..
Fenner was wired for, and everything
possible is being done for the stricken
man.
George Montague is one of the best
known railroad men in this section.
He has been roadmaster on the Sonora
road for a number OF years, and has
held other responsible positions. He
stands high in Masonic circles, being
a past grand master of that order in
this Territory. His friends hope
that he may survive the shock which
he has sustained, and soon be on the
road to recovery.

Sometimes a boy is drowned. That is
not really remarkable, since the youth
of the east and west sides rather de-
spises the sybarite who waits to learn
to swim in the floating free baths. The
real tenement house boy finds out
whether or not he can swim by jump
ing off into the river from the string
piece of a pier. The water being any
where from thirty to sixty feet deep
and the current being swift enough all
ways to tax the wheels of ferryboat

usually are swimmers enough to dive
for him and drag him to the pier.

always the compensation be sufficient
this progressive hack will now lease
his Pegasus to any individual who is
willing to pay for the privilege of rid
ing towards literary fame, even
though it be on a borrowed horse. The
condition is not entirely new, for every
college man has had, in
his sophomore days, alluring offers
from various literary firms who were
willing to write his themes, essays and
orations for a consideration, and we
have known of the Dumas novel fac
tory and of other cases where one
writer stole the thunder and work Of
another, but the amazing thing about
the matter is that recently there seems
to have developed a tendency among
men and women, unknown to the world
of books, to secure literary fame in
this simple manner. A society woman,
for example, is ambitious to be known
as the author of book; she employs
a ''hack" who does the entire labor
of writing the volume. The writer has
in mind a we'll known Chicago woman
who employed a professional hack"
IN write a novel for her. The tempta-
tion came to her in a small way 0rst.
She had made a European trip for the
purpose of studying various art GAL
Ieries abroad. On her return, one OF
the women's clubs asked her 10 read
a paper on the art OF some great paint

subject of common talk. The long
novel was her next venture, by I'M
known proxy, and this volume will
shortly be published. Doubtless her
friends and acquaintance will compli-
ment the supposed author on her style
and execution, and she will begin to
be known outside of her AVN city as a
writer of some ability
1t is difficult to understand how this
woman harmonizes this sort of thing
with an otherwise well-regulated and
proper life. 1.-The hack" had been
engaged as collaboration or assistant
or editor of her work, then she could
have had the feeling that practically
everything good in the book was hers,
but this lattering JUNCTION cannot be
hers.
There is, in fact, too much uneven
ness in the distribution of credit for
literary merits. A great many maya
zine articles which bear the names Of
well known people are so revised and
edited before publication that a disin-
terested person would have difficulty
in recognizing the originals. As 1t IS
a curious fact that the authors in
yariably accept the improved matter as
entirely their own.
