GOOD ROADS BILL KILLED.

providing that the County Boards of
Commissioners shall order an election
to be held in the various counties of the
State TO decide whether or not said
counties should issue bonds for macad-
amizing and permanently improving

raj counties and to order an election

made his first effort upon the floor of
the House. GA full account of this
matter is taken from the News and

as to the finding of the hide and the mutilation thereof, Wagner also stating that when he reached town he had not been able to find the in spector and had then, himself. sworn out the warrants. No evidence was introduced by the prosecution to show to whom the beef belonged, the witness stating that it was i'm possible to locate any brands, if any there had been, as the hide was mutilated.
 T. F. Holden, livestock inspector for this district, No. 6, stated that he had been absent from the 18th to the 25th of May and had not been requested to act in his official capacity.
 MT. Holloway then took the stand and stated that on Monday. May IS, he wanted beef for his camp use and had personally shot and butchered the beef in question; had hung the carcass up inside the barn and flung the hide over a pole with out. He further stated that the calf killed was about ten months old, was unbranded, but was sucking one of his COWS (branded "M Bar H"O, and that he knew positively that it was his calf. He had made no attempt at concealment. as he had nothing to conceal. Had hung the carcass and hide up within plain view of the road where it could be seen by any passerby. By his own testimony, that of John Gordon, who was in his employ, and the testimony of John Moore, who took dinner at the ranch on Wednesday, May 20, it was shown that on that date the hide was still hanging on the pole and had not been mutilated.
 Thus it was shown that between Monday and Wednesday the hide had not been mutilated, while when discovered by the complainant on Friday (two days later) parts of the hide were missing. The jury, of which the writer was a member, and which was composed of Jacob Salzman, J. E. De Rosear, R. R. Powers, Ed Hoffmeyer, M. J. Rounseville, J. D. Raudebaugh, A. Tetzlaff, John Baumgartner, T. A. Coleman, Harry Miner, P. R. Crowley and c. A. Neal, after care ful consideration of the evidence on both sides, rendered a verdict of "not guilty"

STOCK LAW
 TESTED HERE
Results in the Acquittal of the Defendant--No Evidence
 For Conviction.

On Tuesday morning, last, the case of the territory vs. c. B. Hol- loway, defendant, was begun in Justice Ranney's court. The case had been postponed from a former date because of the absence of the district attorney, who was FISHING at Oak creek, but was finally got under way with Attorney Flynn of Flagstaff representing the territory X. N. Sleeves for the defendant.
 The charge which Mir. Holloway was called upon to answer, as stated by the complaining witness, Thomas H. Wagner, and upon whose request the warrants were issued for MT. Holloway, John Gordon and Will
 liam Morgan, contended that he (Holloway) or the two others, Cor don and Morgan, committed mis- demeanor on or about the 22d day of May, 1903, by having killed a beef, destroying the earmarks and brands, without having the hide in spected and tagged by the inspec- tor, as required by law.
 The evidence as presented by the witnesses for the prosecution, George w. Johnson, Albert s. Johnson, James Barney and T. H. Wagner, may be summed up as follows: The four men just mentioned. at about 1915 o'clock a. m. on the 22d day of May, were riding along on horse back Gall of them being cattlemen) and passed by what is known as the Armstrong ranch, which is leased by MT. Holloway from MT. Perrin. They were following trail which led past an old barn near the ranch-house, and when about fifty yards distant saw beef hang ing up within the barn. On round ing the corner they saw a hide lying on the ground about six feet from the barn and some twenty feet from the trail. Messrs. Wag- ner and Barney stated that nat urally, being in the cattle business, they alighted to inspect the hide, and immediately discovered that the rear portion of the skin, con- mencing at the hips, had been cut cut off, as had the neck. The ears were also missing, and they were unable to locate any brand on the hide. They thought the beef had been killed the night before. Wag- ner immediately got on his horse and with two others of the party started toward town, leaving Barney behind to guard the hide. At din- ner time Mir. Holloway, with the men in his employ, who had been blowing in a field nearby, came to the house, and seeing Barney sit ting on a stump out by the barn, asked him in to dinner. At first Barney declined, but Mir. Holloway insisted that he join them, saying that the beef was an "M Bar H" this brand) and that it wouldn't run away. Barney then accepted the invitation. After dinner the men all returned to work in the field, where Barney later joined them. About 2 o'clock in the af- ternoon Wagner returned, bringing with him Deputy Sheriff Kennedy and George H. Barney. Kennedy took possession of the remaining portion of the hide, served the war rant on Holloway and brought him into town. In the testimony it was developed that there was at that time, and had been for sometime previous, ill feeling between Wag- ner, the complaining witness, and Holloway, the defendant, over stock matters. All of the above witnesses testified in about the same manner

Space will not permit our going into details with praise for each in- dividual effort. Suffice it to say that the entire performance was conducted without hitch. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon our efficient corps of teachers, MT. G. w. Pilchard and the Misses Beecher, Springfield and Coombs, who were ably assisted in the work of getting up the entertainment by Mrs. Pilchard. The pupils them selves are entitled to much com- mendation for making the enter tainment success, and plainly in- dicated that they had availed them selves of the good opportunity for progression under our capable corps of teachers the past year. We con- gratulate the board that they have been able to again secure for next year the services of all except Miss Coombs, who rendered her resigna- tion and whose place will be filled later on. Let the good work go on.

Some Nice Return.

w. H. Shull who is working the Paola
mine in Levenworth gulch last week
made shipment Of smelling ore to Argo
which gave returns of S46 to the ton.
This is most pleasing to the pool operat-
ing this mine as they have a nice body
of this ore and at this value can max g
the property pay. Mr. Shnll has done
remarkably well since taking hold of the
mine. as in 90 days he has unwatered the
shaft to the Lottom, a distance of 22S
feet, has driven the 120 foot level a
distance of 60 feet, and has sent car
load OF smelling ore away, and has a
couple of cords of mill dirt piled up. He
has also put on a small engine and hoist
er. He expects that in another month
to erect large shaft building and put
on a larger plant Of machinery.
