CLOUDBURST LAST NIGHT
Lower End of the Valley Was a Vast
 Lake of Water.

The farmers in the lower end of the valley got their farms wet up nicely last night and no mistake. There was a small but refreshing shower in Phoe- nix in the early evening and about the same time there was a heavy rain, in fact, a regular cloudburst, that covered the area, between the Martin ranch, mile west of O. II. ChTisty's and w G. Moore's ranch on the Agua Fria.
 Two Phoenix men who arrived here about II o'clock last night said they left Moores station and crossed the Agua Fria coming this way. just few minutes before the storm broke. From that point to the Martin ranch the roads and fields looked like one vast lake and they travelled in water all the way from a foot to four feet deep. It was not a Cave Creek tidal wave" such as sometimes sweeps down from the north, but the water came directly from above and the current of the flood seemed to lead away to the north, for some distance and for d short time at least, flowing up hill.
 Whether any damage was caused by the water could not be learned last night, but if any it was probably slight except for the breaking of ditches, etc.. for the flood could not in the nature of things last very long. and the rain stopped within an hour.

against it, and it was received with sarcasm It was even moved that the vote on 1t should be by roll call so that the supporters of the plan might be Tagged in the convention. On the roll csll several humoIists happened to be near the head of the list and they voted for it. Before the call was half finished it was evident that it would prevail, and as the rest of the members voted they said: 'I can stand it if you can." Only one vote was cast against it.
 Regarding precinct contests it was decided that they might be settled by the executive committee Of the central committee temporarily; that is. the committee should decided which set of delegates should vote in the temporary organization. After that the contest would be reopened to be disposed Of by the committee on credentials at the convention.

AN OLD SLAVES RETURN TO
 MASTERS SON.

After thirty-five years spent in Hon. duras May Ford. patriotic American negro, aged 7G years, has returned to join F.. V. Friarson, son of the old slaves master, George Henry Friarson of Fr!arson, De Soto parish Ford's hair is snow white. but he has a re- narkable memory and is unusually iu- telligent for one who was raised with out educational advantages.
 The old negro wen1 to Honduras in 1868 with his master, who had large plantation interest in that republic. The latter soon returned to New Or leans, but Ford decided to cast his lot in the tropics. He worked and lived around Puerto Cortez and San Pedro and when work was started on the Honduras railroad, extending from Puerto Cortez to San Pedro. he was given steady employment. Before that he was employed on fruit plantations and he went through a number of re- volutions. He maintained perfect neu- trahty and in that way he became pop ular with both armies.
 Last March MT. F.. V. Friarson went to Puerto Cortez on business. While there he accidentally ran across an old negro from whom he ascertained Ford S whereabouts. He had forgotten his fathers slave, but through a strange coincidence Ford was finally located al Belize. British Honduras
 Several weeks ago MT. Friarsor wrote Ford a letter inviting him tc | return to the old homestead in De Sotc parish. The darky readily consented knowing that the long cherished op- portunity to again be among friend, and the surroundings of his youngel days, was about to be realized. Dur. | ing the war he served the elder Friar- | son faithfully as a slave and accom-. panied his master through many des- perate encounters.
 On the arrival of the AnseIm, Ford | who had assumed the name of his mas | ter, proudly exhibited a long letter iron

THE JEFFERSON BIBLE

The government will soon issue what is known as the Jefferson Bible, though it will be distributed by senators and members of the house of representa- tives. It is rather a strange undertak- ing for the government, but will be an improvement on a good many of the books issued at the government print ing office. The work bears the title The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nag areth. Extracted TextuaHy from the Gospels in Greek, Latin, French and English"
 Thomas Jefferson devoted his leisure time for many years to this work, though he was credited by many of his contemporaries with being an atheist, The book is a collection of passages from the New Testament that go to describe the incidents in the life of Jesus, and that repeat his uterances. The conception and the execution were characterized with reverence and sim plicity. The leaves were photographed to make the plates from which the gov ernment edition of 5000 copies is to be printed.
 The manuscript copy of the book be- longs to the government. It was pur- chased many years ago, by order of congress, for s400 from Miss Randolph, of Richmond, Va. That was done with a view of preserving an example of the handiwork Of the author of the Declar- ation of Independence and a former president. It was placed in the Smith sonian Institution, where it was for gotten by all save the librarian, Dr. Cyrus Adler. He interested Represen- tativc Lacey, of Iowa, in the matter, who secured the passage of a resolu- ton providing for a reproduction of the Jefferson Bible"
 It is over two years since that reso- lution was passed, and the work is said to be nearly ready. It's distribution should be of much value in increasing the reading of the record and teaching it gives, and in adding to the distinc- tion with which Jefferson is held in the mind of the average citizen.

ON TECHNICAL POINTS
Judgement Against W. E. Thomas in
 Civil Case-InterestingD Details.

For about two weeks Justice Rob- ertson has been putting in his odd time on a civil case brought by Mexican colony against w. F.. Thomas of Liberty precinct, west of Phoenix. Yesterday he devoted almost the en- tire day to it and finally rendered a decision, which he announced was nec- essarily reached largely on technical ities and the failure of the defense to present certain very important testi- mony. The case was therefore appeal ed to the district court where it will later on be given another hearing.
 MT. Thomas had a sixty acre tract of land he wanted cleared and let 8 contract with one Francisco Flores to do the work for six dollars per acre Flores employed a dozen or so of his countrymen and they in turn bought their camp supplies from MT. Thomas
 who runs a store at Liberty. It was brought out in the testimony that they lived sumptuously, dining almost every day on tortillas, enchaladas, chile and beans, bacon, etc, with syrup of figs
 for dessert.
 After the work was finished the Mex jeans failed to get their money from Flores and demanded payment from MT. Thomas in the amount of S122 He told them that he had made no contract with them and that Flores was the man who employed them; that in his dealings with Flores that worthy had already got into his debt nearly q hundred dollars more than the amount ! of the contract, which was $360. The
 MexiCans claimed that they had called upon MT. Thomas and told him they would not trust Flores and asked him ! to guarantee payment for their labor.
 to which he consented. But MT. Thom- i as contention is that he told them he
 would hold it out for them in the event there was anything coming to Flores when the time for settlement came, a proposition very similar, only it was 1 entirely different.
 The defense did not bring Flores into
Arizona republican., 1904-08-14

court, resting its case on technicalities that it was supposed would cause 1t to be thrown out of court. The interest of all the MeXioanS seemed to have been merged in three of them, who sued for the $122. The court decided that in the absence of Flores tesu- mony he would have to give judgment for the plaintiffs, which he did in the amount of $113.9O, there having been some counter claims deducted from the original amount sued for.
 One of the technicalities on which it was expected the case would be dis missed. was that the suit under the law should be instituted in the pre- cinct where the defendant resided, and Mir. Thomas has for years lived and voted at Liberty. However. he owns property north of Phoenix and former ly lived in Osborn precinct. When he claimed residence in Liberty, the plain- tiffs produced a certified copy of Mir. Thomas registration affidavit, signed and sworn to. and alleging that he resides in Osborn precinct. MT. os- born explained that it was clearly an error on the part of the regist ering officer who had filled out the blank. He was an old acquaintance of MT. Thomas and in good faith filled out the blank for Osborn precinct. believing he still resided there. MT. Thomas had signed it without reading it over, as- suming it to be correct and without any intention of transplanting himself from the land of Liberty, but 1t was there. nevertheless, and the court con- sidered the matter of jurisdiction es- tlblished.

THE CLUMSY SILVER DOLLAR.

Let us be honest with one another, and whether we were free silverites or gold standard men, acknowledge in our hearts real gladness that Secretary Shaw has directed that the silver bull lion in the possession of the Treasury Department be devoted entirely to the coinage of halves. quarters, and dimes. and that no more silver dollars shall be tuIned out by the government mint.

TWO COUNTY CONVENTIONS
Their Dates Fixed Yesterday by Dem.
 Ocratic Central Committee.

The democratic CoGnty central com mittee met yesterday afternoon at the O'Neill hall and fixed the times for holding the primaries and two county conventions. The convention for the selection of thirty-five delegates to the territorial convention for the nomina- ton of a candidate for delegate in congress will be held on August 23 and the primaries three days before. or next Saturday. The convention for the nom- ination of candidates for the county offices will be held on September 27 and the primaries on September 24.
 There was a difference of opinion re- garding the necessity of holdnig the two county conventions. Some of the members of the committee end the great body of the democrats believed that one would be sufficient; 1t was pointed out that in some of the more remote precincts going to primaries is a hardship; also that primaries and conventions entail some expense On the other hand 1t was pointed out that a campaign a month longer than is necessary Is hardship on candidates. perhaps greater than that which falls 10 those who have to go to the prim- aries.
 That view was taken by the majority of the members of the committee and it was resolved to have two conven- tions. Officers for the primaries were appointed. The same officers will serve at both primaries.
 Chairman Hayden of the committee said that on his way from the east he had met Chairman James F. Bark of the republican committee and in the course of conversation between them on the subject of primaries 1t was sug- gested that though there is no primary law in the territory the primaries might be held according to such a law as there ought to be. They agreed be- tween themselves that the primaries of the two parties ought to be held st the same times and places. Chair man Hayden recommended the ap- Pointment of a committee to meet a similar committee from the republican central committee and arrange for bringing the joint primaries about. A motion to this effect was made and amended. giving the chairman power to make such an arrangement with Chairman Bark.
 There was another recommendation which will be made to the convention and which will enable candidates to know better where they stand. That is that in all balloting In convention there shall be a roll call whenever there is a contest and the votes shall be given viva voce. Delegates knowing this will be a little ehary in the mat ter of making promises to two or more candidates for the same office.
 When this recommendation was pro posed there did not seem to be a likeli' hood of Its adoption. The sentiment ot the committee seemed to strongly

OLD MIR. DAVIS.

A great deal is being said about old MT. Davis the Democratic nominee for vice president, but, although he is thirty or forty years too old for the po- sition to which he aspires, there is 10 neason to believe that he is in his sec ond childhood.
 MT. Davis attended the recent West Virginia Democratic state convention and from the way he handled that body it does not appear that his right hand has lost any of the cunning that it had in the last century. He at least had sense enough to keep out of the plat form the white mans plank" which he and all the West Virginia Democrats favor, but which would hurt the party prospects at the north in the coming election.
 It all illustrates the lodging and straddling agility of MT. Davis party. At St. Louis the party was divided on the gold standard question and both the convention and the candidate straddled it, so that they are to this day uncommittal on this subject. fin West Virginia they were unanimous in regard to the white mans plank" hut suppressed it. The party is willing to assume the position of political con- tortionist and tie himself up in knots of merdacity and contradiction on all occasions.
 Old MT. Davis appears to be a smooth politician, but he has a bad cause and his cunning cannot save it.-Chicago Chronicle.
