 w. G. PEMBERTON'S CONDITION. W. G. Pemberton, who was murder ously assaulted one night last week while on his way home, IS not yet out of danger.

 A JEALOUS WIFE.-Two women, one man and the little green-eyed monster jealousy played their parts in Justice Robertson's court yesterday, but the action Of the law failed to right the supposed wrong, to allay the jeal- ous suspicious or to reunite the two women in friendship. The parties of the triangular difficulty are Mexicans, but jealousy exists among Mexicans as well as Americans, and it Is said to be even a little stronger among the descendants of the darker race, and goodness knows it is bad enough amongst we Americans. The man who figures in the difficulty works at the street car barn. He is what is commonly spoken of as the better sort of Mexican He has wife. That is no crime, neither is it a crime be- cause she is overjealous. but crime is not the only thing that causes trouble. The wife's name is Gregoria Romers. She imagined that Guadalupe Villain eva was paying too marked attentions to her husband. They met on the street and told each other their opin- ions of each other.

Yesterday the two women ap- peared in court and told their respect i've stories The court opined that one was about as much to blame as the other and declared the fight a draw. Mrs. Romers was discharged from cus- tody.

Byers was mak- ing one of his regular trips to Cave Creek. One of the passengers had un- covered q Glla monster. and not being afraid of the animal, carried it back to the stage. The passenger was sharing the front seat with Byers and took the lizard upon the seat with him. Bycrs objected to the presence of the animal -but-the passenger continued to pet and stroke the monster and as it seemed to enjoy the experience, Byers finally con- Sented to allow the passenger to keep possession of 1t. After awhile tn ? passenger laid the monster down on the seat between himself and Byers, and the animal in it's sluggish fashion, began Doking about tke seat, seemingly intent upon exploring it's surroundings. At the commencement of these pro- ccedings. Byers edged to the far side of the seat and gave the monster as much room as possible. but the monster seemed to have a special lik : ing for Byer's portion of the seat and followed him over. Finally the lizard
