1t is the contention of the plaintiff
that the accident was due wholly to the
defective planking and railing of the
bridge; and that due notice was given to
the plantation officers, inasmuch as NJ.
d. Sturtevant, who was elected and serv-
ed as highway surveyor in 1900, was not
only generally familiar with the condi.
ton of the bridge, but was also inform.
ed of the rotten condition OF the plank
ing, only two days before the accident
by Mrs. York's father, N. w. Bennett.
The defence did not deny the injury Of
Mrs. York, or the seriousness of 1t, but
rested its claim upon the contention thai
there was no defect in the bridge unit
the plaintiffs horse caused it, and tina
no officer of the plantation had ever beer
notified of defective condition of tn
bridge. Several witnesses were put OF
the stand who testified that they crossed
the bridge, on the day of the accident O

thing wrong with the bridge, and MI
Sturtevant denied that Mr.. Bennett hat
notified him that the bridge was out

AS TO THE BONDS.

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir: Arguments have been advanced by the attorneys and newspapers pub would be a bad thing for the citizens construct water works because 1t would increase their taxes.
 The city taxes collected upon real es- tate and personal property in this city are S45,0 900 per annum. If persons who own houses and lots will look up the amount they paid for city taxes and
 will look at their water bills, they will find that their water bills per annum
 on an average are larger than their city taxes, and yet it takes s45,000 in taxes to operate the city government, and an investigation of the report of the committee will show that the in terest upon s300.000 worth of bonds and the operating expenses of a water works system, covering the entire town and furnishing free to the city 23S hy- drants, will be only s32 1855. That being
 the case, although it costs one-third
 less for water and 23S fire hydrants, the usual charge for all water is much higher than the taxes collected from each individual.
 If the water was furnished absolutely free of charge. the interest upon the
 bonds and the operating expenses paid
 out of the city treasury and taxes levied for the same, the taxes against houses
 and lots would not be nearly double the amount paid for taxes by property own CTS now.
 A careful study of the above facts
 must necessarily convince all property
 owners that they will save the 15 per cent of the taxes they now pay which is turned over to the water company, and that their water rates, if charged the same as at present, will turn a revenue of at least $25.00O per annum
 into the general tax fund CITIZENS COMMITTEE.

BRAWLEY INDICTMENTS
Alleged by the Defenae to Be Seriously
 Defective,

An attack Is being made on the two indictments fer perjury against Milton Brawley found by the United States grand jury. DemurrerS to them have been temporarily overruled and the de- fendant was required yesterday to plead to them. He pleaded not guilty. The alleged defect in the indictments is a failure to state in what court he committed perjury. The only reference to the court is "the said court In the caption of the indictment mention is necessarily made of the court of the Third judicial district exercising juris- diction in United States cases, and the words ''the said court are supposed to refer to that court. Attorney Bull lard for the defendant took the ground that the caption of the indictment is no part of it. The court informed him that if he could show by the law that his contention was true the demurrers would be further considered.
 After the adjournment for the day he found the law ill support of his view, and it will be presented this morning.
 The greater part of the afternoon ses- sion was taken up with the case of the United States against Ricardo Anna bisca, J. Alexander and A. c. Baker This is suit on a bond. Amabisca. the plaintiff, was held to the federal grand jury of the First judicial district on :, charge Of smuggling, and entered into a bond for his appearance. He did not appear and suit was brought to re- cover against the bondsmen. They were represented in court by Alfred Frank lin. who presented five reasons why the bond had not been forfeited. One of them was that the principal had been unable to find the court in which he should appear for the reason that there is no such court in Arizona. It was de- scribed as the United States district court for the first district of Arizona. Another reason was that in any event his appearance was not essential. The crime for which he was to be tried was a misdemeanor, which could have been tried as well in his absence. This view was upheld and the matter was dis missed

FATE OF A PROSPECTOR.

Bias Everro came to Tucson with the news that he had found a man dead on the desert. Judge Richey was notified and a coroner's jury was empaneled and proceeded to the place. The body was located slightly west of due north of Tucson about twelve miles from the city limits. The corpse was that of Q Mexican about feet inches in height and was dead from four to six weeks and in badly decomposed state.
 As near as could be ascertained he was between 35 and 45 years of age. He had also in his pockets gravel and sand which leads people to think that he was a prospector and died for the want of water, the thirst driving him insane and he evidently thought the sand was gold.
 The judge has piece of his clothes for Identification and the jury will not
