 There was some indefniteness in the decisiCn regarding the original claim of Ward and when the case came up yes tcrday morning Judge Kibbey. at torrey for the plaintiff took the ground that judgment should be rem dered for Ward under the mandate Judge Ainsworth for the defense con- tended that the mandate did not relate to the claim of Ward and insisted on a new trial of that part Of the case There was a formal introduction Of evidence on each side and judgment was rendered for the amount he had sued for with interest from the date ot the beginning Of the suit
 The injunction case of Charlotte T. Melick against the MaricOpa canal company was tried. This is the latest Of the water cases. The plaintiff vas given judgment in an order to the de- fendant to deliver water to the plain tiff to be distributed according to the reasonable rules and regulations of the company.

THE VULTURE JUMPING
The AffidavitS of Labor Were Actually
 Filed.

The alleged jumping of the Vulture mine by George F. Sanders, d scrihed by q special dispatch in The Repu It. can yesterday morning. created great
 deal of interest in Phoenix yesterday. The notices of relocation were rece.Vcd
 at the office of the county recorder. | There are eighteen of them, while there are nineteen claims in the group owned by the New Vulture Mining company. | Whether those eighteen claims talk in all the ground of the old ones is not known. The relOcator is a man by the
 name of Charles L. Kinsley, George r.. Sanders appearing only as a witness
 In the relocation all the claims bat one are given rev names and that Is the O.d Vulture itself. Several people who might be supposed to know what has been going on Tn the Yulture prop critics, said yesterday that they believed the work had been done for the last year. However, they said their know ledge after all amounted only to a sup position. but they r2td 1t was 1nccn-
 ccivable that the rights of the owrcrs
 would have been allowed to lapse.

JUDGMENT FOR WARD
The End of His Famous Case Against
 Sherman and Hardenburs.

The ten-year-old case of J. M. Ward against M. H. sherman ard David Hardenburg was forever disposed of in district court yesterday morning by the ordering of a judgment for Ward for $1,500. This is one of the most celebrated civil cases ever brought in the territory. Tn the early nineties Ward, the owner of the Sun Flower cattle ranch, sold it to Sherman and Hardenburg for about $300O0. They made a cash payment and gave notes fer the balance. Hardenburg took possession of the ranch and while he was in charge he sold cattle to the amount of $1,5OO. Not long after the transfer of the ranch the cattle busi- ness declined and the defendants pro- posed to Ward to take the ranch off their hands, keep the money they had paid and surrender their notes. He refused to do so and Hardenburg hav- ing abandoned the ranch Ward took possession to take care of the property. Not long after that the cattle business began to lcok up again and the ensuing years were very profitable ones. In 1894 after the abandonment of the ranch by Hardenburg and Sherman. Ward brought suit against them for tHt Ndlue Ol llle CdJIle SOlu by ftdfOen- burg. The case dragged along for two years as service could be obtained on neither Of the defendants. Finally they got ready for trial. They sur prised Ward by bringing in a counter claim based upon the theory that since he had retained their notes he was only acting as their agents in the pos session of the property. They asked for an accounting which was ordered and it was shown that after the aban- donment of the ranch by Sherman and Hardenburg he had sold cattle 10 the amount of more than $7O,OO0. Judge ment was rendered against him for more than $4O,OOO, there having been deducted from the value of the cattle he had sold the amount of the notes and pay for his valuable and efficient service as agent.
 He appealed from this judgment which was affirmed by the territorial supreme court and the case was fur ther appealed to the supreme court of the United States. That court ro

been dead since midnight.
 The tragedy was explained in the following letter:
 June 1. MT. G. II. N. Luhrs,
 Dear Sir-If am found dead please have the letters I have left sent. My brother to whom l have written will pay you what l owe as I have written to him to do so.
 T hope you will forgive me any an noyance I may cause you and l thank you for your kind treatment since 1 have been in Phoenix. If any mail should come to me after my death, please send it to my brother. Walter Savage, 397 Park Place, Brooklyn, N. Y.
 T have been disappointed in a re- mittance that I should have received days ago from my lawyers or l should not have done this.
 Tn case what I have taken does not kill please do not send letters, but I think there is not much chance of that.
 Yours very truly,
 ERNEST SAVAGE" There were other letters addressed to relatives but they were not opened as no additional light on the tragedy was needed.
 Acting Coroner Burnett was notified and summoning the following jury a brief inquest was held: F. +, Kirk land, R. E. HOlbrook K. Barrett, Tom Reed. C. F.. Case and l.. B. Stevens. The verdict was suicide.
 Savage was about thirty-seven years of age and Of gentlemanly ap- hg hoa spent a great part of his time about the saloons for he had no other place to go. He played roulette in a small way for amusement, but his winnings or losings were not heavy. He made many friends, for his manner was an attractive one.
 The remians were taken to Merry mans where they will be held while awaiting instructions from the east. It was learned that he was a Mason and a member of Amity Lodge, New York.
