THE NEWS 0f TUCSON
 kN0 OF PIMA COUNTY

John r. Htrcouri, the alleged dia. mond swindler, was held to await the action of the next territorial grand jury in Justice Culver's court on Fri. day morning and his bail was fixed at $S000 This means that Harcourt will have to lay in jail until next April, as he has no hope of securing bondsmen. His counsel may take habeas corpus proceedings to reduce the bail, but outside of that no action eau be ta- ken iu his behalf until the next grand jury meets.-Tucson Post.
 The Monday following Christmas aud the Monday following New Year are not legal holidays in Arizona. This IS decision reached by Judge Geo. R. Davis and several other legal authorities in the territory. In the District Of Columbia and most of the states. the Monday following Is made legal holiday when Christmas, New Years and the other legal holidays fall on Sunday. Much discussion has arisen iu Tucson over the subject and no conclusion could be reached until word was received here that after some discussion and argument from attorneys in the court at Nogales, Judge Davis set number of cases for Monday, January ?, and Judge F. M. Doan did the same thing at Tomb stone. The law making these days le gal holidays in the District of Colum- bia does not apply to the territories. The Arizona statutes contain no pro vision on the subject.-Tuceon Post.
 The preliminary hearing of James Pagan and A. E. Troxel for ths mur- der of Arturo Amadrll, Dec. II, held at Silver Bell before Justice John D1an resulted in their being held to await the action of the grand jury for mansliughter with bail fixed at 5000 for Pagan and 5000 for Troxel. A number of witnesses were sworn, both for the prosecution and by the defend ants, both Fegan and Troxel taking the stand in their own behalf. The prosecution brought out the fact ths t Pagan, just previous to the killing of Amadri had some difficulty with the deceased, which resulted in fist fight between the two, and also showed by the two witnesses, friends of the de- ceased, that immediately after the fight Pagan asked for gun" saying there would be four or five dead Mexi cans there in the morning or that in substance. This was denied by sev eral disinterested witnesses ca the whole the prosecution made strong case against Fesan but not against TroAel.

C0CHISE COUNTY BUDGET
 CULlEO FROM EXCHANGES

One of the most necessary requi- sites of Bisbee during the coming year is a new central school building. The requirement. is immediate, also, for the city now confronts condi- tion and not theory, says the Miner. Such has been the extraordinary growth of the city, that the public schools are already beginning to lose their usefulness, even in their pres. ent high state of efficiency, simply through the overcrowding of the school rooms and school buildings. The roll of the central school now shows close to 200 more pupils therin, than for the same month of the year 1903.
 Mrs. T. K. Davis, of Douglas, has beon notified of the death of her hus- band, on Dec. 22, in the territorial in- sane asylum, where he had been cared for since last summer. T. K. Davis was we'll known in Cochise county and in Graham county. He has re- sided in the territory for many years. For long time he was a clerk in the drug department of the Arizona Cop per company's store in Clifton. After ward he owned aud conducted drug store in Stafford, in the Gila valley. He was bright young man of excel lent habits, industrious and intel'i- gent. He is brother of Herbert Davis, of the general office of the Cop. per Queen company In this city, and of Dr. W. s. Davis, now of Los An geles, but who was for years in charge of the medical department of the De- troit Copper company at Morenci.
 Several months ago Husson and Coon, of Bisbee. contended for the championship in Cornish style of wrestling, and HnssOn won. The men met again last Friday night at the Bisbee gym uasium and after a stub. born contest Coon got the decision. Husson in one minute and twenty one seconds had secured the first fall, throwing Coon prettily. Both men were careful in their preliminary work for the second fall, and after two minutes and ten seconds more of work Husson threw Coon again. It is con. tended by many, says the Miner, that this fall should have been Husson'S and considerable surprise was ex- pressed when mo fall" was an- nouDced. However, was close de- cison and anyone might have been right. Official second fall was se- cured by Coon in seven minutes and two seconds and the third and final in eleven minutes and fifty seconds. Coon is now champion Cornish style wrestler of Arizona, an to all appear ances is fully capable of defending the title. He is steady, consistent worker, with a splendid physique and clear head and his defeat of Husson is proof positive that he is the right man in the right place.
