KENTUCKY JUSTICE.

Police Judge Riley, of Lexington, Ky is becoming famous for the methods Of his court. He has a, way of exer- cising his discretion in respect of peE- alties inflicted, and does not hold him. self to be bound by the terms of muni- cipal ordinances. Some time ago he caused an idle youth who had done some destruction to be publicly whip ped. For this he was much criticised, and he has not repeated the sentence, perhaps because it was effective for prevention as we'll as punishment. H. has, however, devised a new judicial penalty for drunkeness. The convicted excessive guzZler is given his choice between going to jail and putting a glass of fish brine inside of his stom- ach. Those who take the fish brine punishment are. thoroughly sobered in short order, and it is said that no one of them has been brought before the judge on a second charge of drunken ness. What his treatment for vag- rancy is we do not know, but it is re- ported that the city has been made free of class that formerly infested it.-Boston Herald.

A GLORIOUS RAIN
It Washed the Streets and Rinsed the
 Air Last Night.

It rained here last night; rained hard and made everybody happy. The rain only lasted for a half hour or such a matter, though it had been sprinkling a little for the preceding half hour. Just how much water fell is all guess work till the records are consulted this morning and it has been variously es-i- mated at from one to two inches. All that can be definitely stated is that it was the hardest rain for a little while that has been seen here for a year or more and when it was over the streets were full Of water almost from curb to curb
 The rain w1s preceded by q strong wind and accompanied by a severe electric storm. The lightning managed to dodge everything human, but !, struck the earth a number of pretty hard jOlts that made peoples hair stand on end, for electric storms are not frequent here. The electric ligh. s were kept on their nerves for some time and for the space of half in hour every time the heavens fired a voley the lights hid under the bed nr sr,re- where else out of sight, but they were right back again in minute and after the storm seemed as much refreshed a5 anybody.
 The signs of a storm were in eviGenre in the early evening, in the southels'- ern sky, and gradually increasel until it broke oNer the city abo IL 3 o'clock. At one time it appeared to he going round to the east but seemed to rhhk better of it and doubled lack. II is supposed that the downpour was quite general over the valley.
 Though the drouth is poker still more rain is desired and last nights blessing may be repeated mary times before there is any general protest.
 During the storm the lightning l.ut the steet railway power hou.e out of business for a little while. but the car service was not stopped very l)rg. be- ing resumed after the storm.
 Since the above was written, or more specifically, at 12:45 o'clock this morn ing it began raining again. For neqr- ly half hour it rained fully as hard sa in the evening and then died away in a drizzle that had not entirely stop ped at this writing.
 Heavy rains were reportel along the line of the s. F., P. & P. yes: c-daN anG last night and it is expected the train from the north will be little late ihis morning. The Agua Fria river iS said to be running bank full and empty ng considerable food into the salt fIver. It was pOrbably the Agua Fria water that caused the trouble at the Buckeye dam.
 The California papers report very heavy rains all along the line of the Santa Fe in northern Arizona.

ENGINEER HILL IN TOWN
Arrived Yesterday After a Conference
 in Los Angeles.

Engineer L. c. Hill arrived here yesterday morning from Los Angeles and will remain over Sunday leaving early next week for the Tonto dam, travelling overland via the Roosevelt road.
 His special business here at this time will be to go over the details of the road business with the city coun- cil, checking the time checks issued, etc, and verifying to date the vouch- CTS for the expenditure of the money raised in the valley as a fund for road construction in advance of the selling of the municipal bonds.
 Respecting the effect of the recent rains above, MT. Hill knows only such things as have been written and wired to him since his departure. He says though that he does not think the water has been high enough to inter- fere with work on the sluicing tunnel and that the rains will undoubtedly help the road work. From all report. the rains have been general filling ali the little tributaries of the river, those on the south side of the Salt river be- ing the ones in which the road build CTS are mainly interested. It is .prob- amble now that all the tanks and wa ter holes are filled up and there will be for a time at least an abund ant supply for camp and stock pur- poses without necessitating much hauling of water. Hitherto 1t has bee2 necessary to haul water for most Of the camps and for one of the camps the water had to be packed three mile~ on burros.
 Asked about the washout on the Roosevelt road, mentioned a few days ago he said it was at a point between Fish Creek and the dam, where the road was not yet completed, pending the arrival of some drainage pipe and that the washouts were not serious being small gullies across the road that could be easily repaired but that teni- porarily were impossible for wagons. While he has not heard it is likely they have been repaired by this time as the pipe ought to have arrived.
 Concerning his mission to Los An geles MT. Hill said he went there to confer with the board of consulting engineers respecting the plans and specifications for the building of the gates for the sluicing tunnel. The plans were completed and will be for Warded at once to a number of the largest establishments both east and west, competent to turn out the work needed. It would not be worth while to send these plans to everybody as only well equipped machinery houses could handle the job anyway.
 Respecting the specifications for the dam proper, the main construction work of the entire enterprise, MT. Hill said they are nearly complete but

HARD LUCK STORY
Grim Visaged Death Wandered Re-
 gardless on the Van Kirk Ranch.

E. F. Van Kirk, though standing his troubles bravely and probably in a financial position to stand them with out ultimate disaster, is nevertheless entitled to credit for a good hard luck story of real life. To begin with he is a summer widower and that is en- ough to drive some men to drink, his family having gone to Wisconsin to visit with relatives during the hot weather.
 Recently MT. Van Kirk imported from a thoroughbred dairy herd in Missouri a fine Jersey bull that cost him $500, but that he would not have sold for $500.
 Tne first thing that bull did after he was given a little liberty, was to look all over MT. Van Kirk's 16O acres and find the only board there was on the place with a big nail sticking up in it. Then he stepped on the nail and died the next day of blood poison.
 The same day valuable pig com mitted suicide in peculiar way. MT Van Kirk had previously built raised platform for his pigs to climb on so they could eat their provender without it's being wasted by being tranped down in the mud. The re- porter though forgot to ask MT. Van Kirk how the pigs had been able to ind any mud this summer, but that statement will be allowed to stand as made for Mir. Van Kirk's pigs are cleanly lot and prefer to eat off a table anyway. Alongside the platform stood d barrel mounted on wheels and used to transport slops and milk to the pigs at feeding time. On the i'm portant occasion referred to the bar rel was half full of milk and Mr. Pig in his haste for something good 'cok- ed into the barrel, caught the scent of the feast and followed his nose till 1t struck bottom. When found his spirit had flown to hog heaven.
 But death had set apart that date for full shift on MT. Van Kirk's
