ROARKE ESTATE SETTLED
The Sale Yesterday of the Last Req
 Estate.

There is no more RolTke estate now The dissipation of it was complete3 yesterday by the sale by the admins trator of the remaining real estate con sisting of a ranch south of the capitol grounds, the property on North Cente: street occupied by Dayldson's black smith shop and a three fourth's in- terest in a cattle ranch in Yavapal
 county.
 The ranch, consisting of forty acres was sold for S4,25O to c. T. Hirst and the city property was sold to F. NJ Mognette for $2,SOO. More money was realized from the sale than the ad- ministrator, O. H. Christy, expected It was also shown that the assessment of property for purposes of taxation in this county is not too high. The ranch had been assessed at $2,000 and the black smith shop property at the same sum
 The Yavapai property, which was oi uncertain value, was sold to William J. Roarke, the owner of the other one fourth interest, for S1OO.
 The estate Of James Roarke has been in the probate court and also in the district court for the last seven year. A considerable part of the property which was originally valued at $50 900, has been spent in litigation pre- cipitated by the heirs.
 The first important litigation was an attempt to introduce a will, tha chief benefcairy of which was William J. Roarke, a nephew of James Roarkc who had been brought from Ireland ta h death of Roarke had been employed. by him and had been given a certain interest in his cattle business. It was shown that the will was a clever for gerry perpetrated by a drunken Irish man. who was well acquainted witb Roarke and had learned many of his expressions. He had also copied his chirography so that when the will was first presented even the court was deceived and was inclined to believe that 1t was genuine. It failed, how. ever, not so much on account of an defects discovered in the document as on account of the manner of the man on the stand who said that Roarkr had dictated it. He and the witness to it practically admitted the fraudn- lent character of it. Neither of them were arrested, both leaving the country While the authorities were thinking about taking them into custody.
 The first administratorship was vested in niece of Roarke, who as a result of litigation begun by other heirs was removed and O. H. Christy was appointed. There were sever !. suits after that, the last one being be-

Hill On the Rear Seat.

You can say that l have a back seat on the band wagon" quoth the Hon. David B. Hill the other day af- ter the Murphy-Parker conference in New York at which the TaInmany boss was the "lion of the occasion" The reports say that Murphy was sur rounded by a group of interested poli- ticians who listened for every word of wisdom that dropped from his lips while the Hon. David Bennett occupied a corner of the piazza alone. And the shrewd and sharp David does not ap- pear to have been of much importance. so far as the public is concerned, since the convention. He has been the sub ject of a storm of criticism because he did not force a gold standard plank into the platform. And yet Parker cannot afford to throw Hill overheard. It would be ridiculous to think that he would do so. Hill probably realizes that he has been made the target for the attacks on the Parker crowd and hence has decided to stay in the rear for awhile.
 But should Parker happen to be chos- en to the Wkite house, Hill would un- doubtedly be his right hand adviser. Hill discovered Parker. He made of him what he is. He put him upon the court of appeals bench. Hill managed the Parker campaign throughout the country which resulted in the over
