 A GAMBLING KNIGHT-The mem
 hers of the Knights of Pythias vho went to Williams are beginning to give | things away about each other. So | many incidents Of sensational nature happened there that they would burst l the knights. great as their secretive ca pacity is. to hold them all. I; was told esicrday that on their return. while | they were waiting at Asn Fork two of the Knights got a couple Of sugar cubes at d boarding house. marked them and opened crap game with | them. They were later arrested for . violation Of paragraph 2S9 of chapter IN, title. gaming. of the revised stat utes. The justice Whc issued the War rant and the constable who served it were members of the order and the of lending knights were let off with an admonition not to put the produces of | the sugar trust to such a base use ACCUSED OF STEALING-Frank Murray was brought before Justice G. | D. Gray yesterday on a charge of stealing d roll of blankets from J. T. HCvey's wagon in Pat McGoVern's cor 1 ral. Hovey came up from Gila few days ago, and Murray. whom he had known some time. asked permission to | ed yesterday had a tendency to show
 that Murray had shown his gratitude | by stealing Mr. Hovey's blankets on l Sunday morning. Murray. though. de-
 nies the charge, and says that he was too sick to carry the blankets away if he did want to steal them. He says ] he left the corral early on Sunday 1 morning and went to the house of Mexican on South Seventh avenue. where he remained all day. The case was continued until this morning so the Mexican could be brought in as witness.
 'fHRtCE INNOCENT-Will E. Brown. who has been arrested twice | for an outra seous assault committed on Mrs. Cornell of the Buckeye neigh borhood, and twice discharged. was
 
 on charge of aggravated assault. lie Was discharged on the motion of the assistant district attorney, who said that since he had heard his story he was satisfied. That story has cost the county as much as the manuscript of many q popular novel It is estimated that the costs in the case will amount to about s700. Brown ought never to hoy cannot be blamed for his original and most expensive arrest. It turns out from his story and the story has net beer contradicted that the assault i upon Mrs. Cornell consisted of his catching her in his arms and perhaps
 kissing her. That demonstration i5 not
 eXcusable but it does not appear that 1 the shock which Mrs Cornell suffered 1 Was communicated to her until some 1 time after Brown had gone. He said, and Mrs. Cornell admitted. that after ] the assault she sat on the porch and i talked to him for fifteen minutes. | THE SUPERVISORS board of i supervisors was in session yesterday. Most of the time Was spent in tke ex- i animation of current claims and most of the rest of it in the consideration oi
 q registration. Under the present law i the board may exercise its discretion 1 in ordering registration while unde: , the old law il was mandatory. \ new
 registration will cost about $l.200. A i supplemental registration would cost | nothing but the printing of the supple mental list. There are perhaps hun- i dreds on the present list who are eithe,
 dead or who have moved out of the : county. These names cannot of course
 be erased and under the system ir
 vogue when the registration was takeE i these ndmes offer an opportunity fOl fraudulent voting. At that time one cCIld vote anywhere in the county ol he could register anywhere. Many ol those who have gone were not wei i known even in the communities ig
 which they lived. 4 stranger beariu.
 the name of q man found on tte ole
 register could not be denied the privi lego of voting in any precinct in whcI
 he might present himself if he woulJ
 swear he was the person he pretendet
 to he and that he had lived in the pre cinct the statutory time. The board
 has not decided what il will do dhou ordering a registration but will reach conclusion at q meeting to be held c,
 June 90.
