Good Health

and pure blood are inseparable. If
your blood is bad, your health must suf-
fer. Poor blood allows the body to lose
vitality just as a poor fire under the
boiler allows the steam to run down.
From poor blood to impure blood is but
a step, and impure blood is mother to a
large percentage of human ills. DR..
Harter's Iron Tonic is an antidote for
both poor and impure blood, for it is
both builder and purifier - food
and a medicine. 1t is the best combi-
nation of the kind known to medical
science, and its success for nearly half
a century has led to its endorsement by
thousands of medical men who have
been unable to find substitute.

from impure blood. Scrofula. pimples blotches

Special Dispatch to. IN. Cain.

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Dec. 2-Dr. F. A.
Utz, who just returned to Douglas from
Pinita County, Sonora, brings the story
of the death of, three frontier rene
gades, members Of a notorious gang,
the leaders of which were killed or
remnant of the once noted band recent
ly had been committina many depre-
dations in Sonora. After the fight sew
eral years ago in which their band was
broken up they had fed TO the south,
and only returned to their old haunts
about two months ago. They had lost
their horses and were crossing the
country on foot, when party of
twelve Mexican Rurales caught their
trail. From the descriptions received
at several ranches where the outlaws
had stopped to demand food at the
point of their revolvers the Rurales
identified the three renegades, whom
they had orders to shoot on sight
The trail was followed for a night and
two days. At the close Of the second
day the tracks became fresh, and the
Rurales knew that they were close
upon the heels of the bandits. At sun
down None of their number who was sent
out to reconnoiter reported that the
outlaws had stopped for the night at
a deserted mining camp just ahead.
The leader of the Rurales decided not
TO risk fight in the dim light of the
evening, fearing that the outlaws might
escape in the darkness. Instead he
posted his men in a picket line around
oov fn hof fr
escape, and when the desperadoes arose
at daybreak the next morning all three
of them were shot down without quar-
ter and before they could reach for
their rifles, which had been at their
sides during the night.
The Rurales felt justified in thus
dealing with the three worst men who
have visited the border country in re-
cent years. One of the men was
desperate of the worst type. His father
was killed twelve years ago in fight
with Mexican officers, and the son fol-
lowed in the path made by the father
"a trail of pillage and bloodshed. The
RuraleS knew that no quarter would be
asked If the bandits had discovered that
they were surrounded, and no quarter
was given. The whole troop fired in
upon the outlaws and all three fell,
pierced by a half dozen bullets. The
bodies of the bandits were left where
they had fallen. The Rurales did not
take the trouble TO bury them, believ-
ing that 1t would be an example to all
of their calling to allow their bodies to
bleach upon the hillside as they had
done in the cases of many travellers,
miners and prospectors who met death
at their hands

WOMEN LAWYERS ARE
BARRED IN ENGLAND
House Of Lords Decides That There
Is No Precedent for Admitting
Female ATTORNEYS.

LONDON. Dec. 2.-The House Of
Lords has finally decided that women
are debarred by their sex from being
qualified lawyers in this country. The
question arose on the appeal OF Lon
doner, Miss Bertha Cave. against the
decision Of the benchers of Grays Inn
not to admit her as a student for the
purpose Of being called to the bar. The
court decided that there was no prece-
dent for a woman's admission to the
Inn of Court and no reason to create
a precedent. The benchers assert that
the statutes of Grays Inn ignoreewom-
en- so absolutely as to leave them no
power to admit a woman.
The San Francisco call., 1903-12-03

The remission or deferring of fees
is not practiced at this time to the
extent of former years, but, though
not wishing to criticize the action of
the court and though we have not
specially looked into the matter, we
cannot refrain from citing a few cases
in which the court has undoubtedly
been imposed upon. We would give
many others. but deem a few suf-
fcient.'
Here follows a long list of items and
stories regarding the administrations
of estates, in which the report states
that the charges of both the Admin
istrator and his attorney were greatly
in excess of what they should reason
ably be. 1t then runs on as follows:
while our examination has been
confined wholly to the Office of the
County Clerk and has not embraced
an inspection of the books and ac-
counts of the Public Administrator, we
believe it Is our plain duty under your
instruction 70 report certain matters
which our examination of the various
causes in probate has brought to our
attention.
IAN eminent jurist is reported to
have said, in sarcasm, that the estates
of the deceased dying intestate
should be divided between the Public
Administrator. his attorney and the
undertaken, thus saving the time Of
the courts and the County Clerk and
county various expenses. We shall
endeavor to show that there is occa-
sion for the statement made and that
the office as conducted should be done
away with.
public officials generally are closely
watched and their acts condemned or
approved by the public, whose every
day life brings them more or less into
contact with the officials. 1t seems,
however, that the Public Adnajnistra-
tor, whose dealings are WITH the es-
tates of the deceased, is not subject to
this watchfulness-no one seems to in
terest himself sufficiently to inquire
into his methods.
REFERS TO "INIQUITY."
I'VE urge that that which we report
and our recommendation receive your
consideration. The Judges of the Su-
perior Court should be apprised of the
true conditions. The bar and the public
should be acquainted with the facts
that an iniquity may be overcome. We
do not refer to the present official alone,
but to all.
"The business of the office does not
pass from one Public Administrators to
his successor as it should and as does
the business of other offices. Indeed,
we find causes that are still being ad-
ministered upon by an ex-Public Ad-
ministrator that were opened as far
back as 1898.
From the facts disclosed we have at
times thought that there may have
been collusion between the Public Ad-
ministrator through his attorneys with
the department of the Superior Court
to which his cases were assigned, but

Public AdniniStrd-

Scored.
Suggestions Made
to the Probate
Court.

An unsavory state of affairs concern
as well as the office of the County
Clerk is made public through the re-
port of the Hassell Audit Company
employed by the city to expert the
filed yesterday with the Finance Com
mittee of the Board of Supervisors. In
it the Hassell Audit Company alleges
that amounts aggregatIng SAG. 900 are
due the city from. the County Clerks
office, this sum representing peculations
of the last eight years and up to July
/, 1903, the date upon which the in
vestigation was concluded.
The management of the~affairs of the
probate department comes il for
hauling over the Goals and the irregu-
larities of that deDartment occupy
prominent part in the report.
In dealing with the alleged irregu-
larities in the Public Administrator
office the report says: From the facts
disclosed we. have at times thought
there may have been collusion between
the Public Administrator, through his
attorneys, with the department of the
Superior Court to which his cases were
assigned, but this being so improbable
we are prompted to say that the court
has been imposed upon"
NOTHING OVERLOOKED.
The report alleges that on July 1,
1903. the office Of John Farnham, the
present Public Administrators, owed to
the city or was responsible to the city
for the sum of $1277 so.
The authors of the report have
handled the whole situation of the
County Clerks office and all those i'm
mediately connected Herewith in a
manner that shows no desire to over
look anything. The report being now
in the hands of the Finance Committee,
it remains with that body to say what
action shall be, taken in the premises.
According to the report, the sum of
SIG, 900 alleged to be due the city repre-
sents amounts due from various
Sources, and recovery will only be pos
sible by legal action. Embezzlements
are shown in amounts entered in the
registers as paid and not carried to
the cash books; also in schedules of
amounts evidenced by receipts of
Deputy County Clerks, which REGENTS
are on file, or in the hapds of attor
neys, but which amounts have never
been. accounted for One schedule
designates large amounts which are
due in open causes. The report Is a most
voluminous document, and covers 39s
pages Of closely typewritten matter.

SUGGESTION TO COURT.


During the years 1895. 1896 and UP tc
September 80, 1897, a very satisfactory
system was in vogue, but as resort wa
had to downright dishonesty to defea
1t, much peculation resulted. which
would have been impossible. but for the
absolute and positive incompetence and
neglect which characterized that ad
ministration.
The present condition of this office
is deplorable, the work being far In ar
rears. This, however, is not a new CON
dition, but due in part to the fact that
much back work was inherited from, a
preceding administration.
Since January 20 1902, some hundred
or more days Of varying dates docu-
ments have been recorded as occasion
might arise for anticipating a cause
and giving 1t precedence over the rou-
tine work. The documents thus record
ed out Of sequence have not been com
pared, but are slowed away in the
desks of the copyists awaiting a couve-
nient time for comparing them. A large
number of bonds are in the same situ-
alton, having been recorded, but not
properly filed away in the vault owing
to their not having been compared
with the record.
Wills are recorded up to December
30 1901, but no work Of recording seems
to have been done since April /, 1908.
