Judge Davis Decides the Copper
Queen Tax Suit,
The County Perpetually Enjoined From Col
leoting the Taxes Fixed by
The Supervisors.

The County o. Cochise received a
severe blow IN a decision rendered by
Judge Davis yesterday afternoon.
The case was the Copper Queen
Consolidated Mining Company against
Cochise County. ami the case was de-
cded In favor OF the Copper Queen.
This action of the Court leaves
Cochise County In bad way finan-
cially and will probably cause en-
barrassement in many ways.
The history of the case IS more Or
less familiar tn the people, and is
undoubtedly interesting. In brief Co
chise County. through Its proper OFF,
cials assessed the Copper Queen Com
pany for taxing purposes in the sum
of $3.50. 900. The company regarued
this as excessive and refused to pay
taxes on that basis.
The firm OF Herring & Mitchell of
Tucson had charge of the legal inter-
ests of the Copper Queen and the case
was fought with great energy and de-
termination in the District Court of
Cochise County. When the Court a l.
journed, Judge Davis still had the
case under advisement and yesterday
he announced his dIscision,

An order providing for the redemp-
ton of unserviceable postal cards at
70 per cent. of their face value has
been sent out by the department.
The order is as follows:
at is hereby ordered that on and
after August |, 1902, postmasters at
all postotfices shall redeem, in post
age stamps or other stamped paper
only, and from the original purchas-
ers, uncancelled and unserviceable
postal cards at IS per cent. of their
face value. Parts or pieces of cards
will not be redeemed; nor will cards
that have been treated by bronzing,
enameling or other process of coat
ing be redeemed under the provis-
ions of this order"
The innovation is of particular val
ue to the firms and individuals who
are accustomed to have postal cards
printed in large quantities to serve a
special need and find afterwards that
the supply has been greater than was
necessary. Without such an order
as has just been issued by the depart
ment, and there has been none up to
the present time, the postals with
their printed faces were u dead loss
to the concerns.

CHICKEN HAS FOUR LEGS.

Not content with furnishinga Mil
ton, Mass, chicken with the usual
number of legs, nature has been very
generous to the tiny fOwl,and has
given it an extra pair, which, so far
as the chicken is concerned, are an
extravaganza. The tiny creature,
which is owned by Mrs. John H.
Emerson of East Milton is as lively
as a cricket, apparently perfectly
healthy, and bids fair to grow to
hens estate, unless the pip or other
disease to which chicken hood is heir
carries it off.
Mrs. Emerson is very proud of her
distinguished chick, and feeds it on
the best the market offers. HAM
burg steak is put in front of it at
least once day, ana since it was
born the freak has steadily gained in
weight and spirits.
Aside from its extra pair of legs
the bird differs in no way from the
ordinary Plymouth Rock chicken.
1t was Matched on Memorial Day.
The egg cannot be traced. Attached
to the after part of the chicken are
the two legs, yellow in color and
thinner than those used in walking.
The chicken also has two tails.
When first out of the shell, the
chickens four legs were of equal
size. 1t selected the pair under
meath it as offering the most digni-
fled carriage, and now the other pair
trails uselessly behind it.
In sex the nondes cript seems to be
pullet. The legs, however, are diff
ferent. Those it uses in walking are
the legs of pullet. The extra pair
shows small spurs and appears to
have been intended TO be attached
to a rooster.
Those who have seen the chick are
eagerly awaiting its arrival at ma
turity TO learn whether it will lay
double yolked eggs.

Mark HanHa'S Generosity.

ping for few days in little town Of
northern Georgia. He took stroll
on Sunday morning and dropped into
one of the rear seats of a small col
ored church, where he heard II most
powerful sermon on charity as appli-
ed to the raising of money to pay the
preachers salary.
"When the hat came around Mark
dropped a 500 greenback on top Of the
small pile of coppers. The eyes of
tine deacon bulged and when he went
back to the pulpit there was an eXcit-
ed conversation with the minister.
then another brother was called up
and the three spent some time in
whispered conversation.
"Then the man who had passed the
hat came back to Hanna and, leaning
over, said in whisper: Say boss,
when you goin' to get out of dis town.
Il get. out tomarrow, but why?'
We'll, said the deacon in a still lower
whisper, we uns have decided to

the following story, which he says,
acquires peculiar interest by being
true: A quiet-looking American en-
tered his office last week and asked
him to "fiX up nice cheap tour

ma he wished to be included. 1t was
found that at the lowest rate the
journey would cost about % pounds.
"Stop right there" said the tourist,
"well have to drop place or two.
l had calculated to do the show on
10 pounds"
Now you cannot do very extern
sive tour through Europe on 10
pounds, and the route was reduced
at last to trip to Lucerne.
WELL" said the American, 81

me, but look here, you'll do this.
