paid off, and convenient farm wagon
loaded with melons happened to pass
as they filed along, and the darkies oil
bought.
One young buck, after hugging that
melon for several blocks, "just couldn't
stand it no longer and without ado
sat down upon the curb. and in the alb

the melon against the edge of the curb
until it broke asunder. Mansfield in

FOUND A BLOWHOLE
h the Proceedings Form a Local
 Option District.

Tn the case Of the territory against J. H. w. Jensen the attacking party was repulsed at the first intrench- ments. J. L. B. Alexander who is com marding the defense says that he has three or four other lines redoubts as impregnable as the first.
 The case was dismissed yesterday by Justice Gray on the ground that there was a defect in the proceedings by which the local option district was es- tablished. Every step required by the law had been taken but one and that was q very small one. It was the en- tering in the minutes Of the board of supervisors the fact that the affidavit of publication of all the proceedings to date. There was everything else. The petition for the election, the order O; the election, the affidavit of the pub fisher that the publication had been made.
 Attorneys are divided as to whether the defect was fatal but the court held it to be and the case went out.
 The defect is not irrernediab.e. There is no time specified in law for the en- tering in the minutes of the matter re- quired. That will probably be done at the next meeting of the board. It is said that the complaining witness in this case will begin an action de novo when the gap in the proceedings had been fixed up. There is no disposition on the part Of the complainants to blame the office of the board of super visc-s.
 If the proceedings had been found all right the law itself would have been attacked by the defense and if that had been sustained the defense would have fallen back On the plea that the place of business of which the defendant is manager is not of the kind to which the law is meant to apply.

THE HOLIDAY RACES
It Will be Big Meeting and an I'm
 poTtant One.

J. K. Wheat, manager of the Phoe- nix Driving Park has adopted a new plan for insuring good purse money fer the races to take place December 31 to January 1-2. Instead Of passing a subscription paper as has been done hitherto he has had printed season tickets for the three days races and is passing around among the business men GispCsinS of them in advance. The tickets admit one lady and one gentle man to each of the three meetings and are sold tor five dollars which is a say ing to the buyer Of something in gate money beside letting Mir. Wheat know in advance just what he can depend on.
 The meeting is to be the biggest and best one ever held in this territory The track belongs to the American as- sociation and it's rules will prevail in the government of the races. The races, or some of them at least, have been frequently mentioned heretofore in detail and will be eye-Qpeners." The Indian school band will furnish music during the meeting and the indications are there will be a large attendance rom other points in the territory. Mir Wheat has met with great encourage ment from the business men and ex- poets liberal support from them as it means the making of Phoenix famous as q winter town for fast horses and naturally the spending of considerable money here.
