Facts are Stubborn Things.

Mr.. Townsend seems to have stumbled over
some truths, so as to make an assertion
against the writer, to the extent that he 'ever
solicited or desired that Mr. WoOdaIl " ntsd
the town to spend $1,000 for the benefit NJ his
property. By the President Of Couuci Mr.
Carmean, Mr. Townsend, and the sur' e. or,
or saperinten dent, was beiAg searched for
one day in Milford. and wheI found, was
asked to go down to my meadow that they
wished to make a surs ey across 1t to the
creek, if l would allow it, for the purpose of
putting in half tile to carry oil the drainage
from the streets that were 10 be graded-or
from sewers that might be laid in that part
of the town.
could not object to a permanent drain be-
ing laid in place of the one that had cost me
about $500 year to keep open. In BE pres

Mr. Townsend asked how much it would

did not urge or seek the matter 1rther,

was more than should be expended br the

land.
have asked but very few favors from the
town for the improvement. Of my PROPERTY
but have ueN er refused my tiIne or tir Rncal
support to improve that we're for the
best Interests of all. But I realize the fact,
and am not alone, that there has been far too
much unnecessary expenditure of public
money. and the piling up debt upon the
property owners of Milfor'.
Our county affairs are getting in about the
same fix If all our county bridges had TO
be made so strong for teams and fOotmen to
cross over. as the OnS just put down in Mil
ford, we might all be put uo at puoiic auction
and come much short Of paying the bill.
No, we should protest from having he fpun-
daiion of Ogr homes taken from under item,
and many others that woul; be if the foun-
datiOn was not sandy one. The peOplewill

fact IN fighting the nOn-l art san Home lleket,

END CAME SUDDENLY
Death Of Henry Eberle While Waiting
 for His Supper.

Henry Eberle. a man about 37 years old, died very suddenly at the lunch counter in the rear of the Capitol sa- loon last night about : o'clock. He was an invalid. suffering from con sumption, and came here last winter from Milwaukee for the benefit of his health. He was employed at the capi- toI at various times as an assistant around the games.
 Last night about o'clock he went to the lunch counter and ordered his sup per. While waiting for it to be serv- ed his head fell forward on the coun- ter. The waiter supposed the man was sleepy and did not disturb him till the meal was ready. Then he took hold of him to rouse him and discov- cred that he was dead.
 Coroner Burnett was notified and impaneled a jury consisting of George Lewis, H. K. Sellers, J. J. Blinkcorn, Joe Holland, w. D. Tanner and w. A. Milton. After careful inquiry the yer dict rendered was death of natural causes. Mir. Eberde was known to be

A SHIFTING OF SIDES
Changes of Views Regarding Relation
 Between Canal Shares and Land.

A rather interesting question was raised yesterday morning in the trial
 in district court of the case of John Wix Thomas against M. J. Hickey. The defendant had given the plaintiff Q mortgage on tract of land below the city The defendant was the owner also of a share of stock in the Salt River valley canal. This share of stock was afterward sold by him to Henry Coughran. In the suit for the fore closure of the mortgage the plaintiff contended that the share of canal stock belonged to the land and could not have been transferred after the mort gage. But the complaint was silent on that point and when the question was brought up yesterday the court sug- gested that the complaint should be amended to conform to the evidence, which it was desired to be introduced by the plaintiff.
 F. w. Lewis appeared for the de- fendant or rather for Coughran. He took the ground that the share of stock was no different from any other share of stock and since it had not been con veyed by chattel mortgage, and since no mention had been made of it in the mortgage, it had not been conveyed at all. He further moved that if the complaint was to be amended that the case be continued for the term. The motion was allowed and it was or dered that the trial of the case should be begun anew.
 The attorney for the plaintiff is Judge Ainsworth and herein d curious thing has come about. He has been the attorney for the Arizona Water company in all the litigation between it and the farmers of the valley. Mir Lewis has been the attorney for most of the farmers. In the water litigation it was the theory of Judge Ainsworth that shares of water stock were not appurtenant to the land while MT. Lewis necessarily took the ground tn the shares were so appurtenant, or at least that the water was so.
 The rest of the business of the court consisted of the resettins of cases or the vacation of trial orders.

SKILLED A TRAGEDY
A hysterous Occurrence on the Tenn
 pc Road.

Until o'clock yesterday afternoon there was a suspicion that a bloody tragedy had been committed on the Tempe road two miles east of the city and a half mile north of the park. About ten o'clock on Thursday night three shots were heard in that vicinity That in itself did not attract much at tior. and perhaps. would not have been thought of again but for the suspicious conduct of a stranger who was seen about deserted frame house near the corner. There is a well adjacent to the house and the stranger was seen to pass back and forth between the house and the well several times. Then he was observed fixing something about the curbing of the well.
 All this made the neighbors think
Arizona republican., 1904-06-04

about the shooting they heard the night before. and when the stranger finally went away. they went to the house. They found tlat a spot on the floor had lately beeh scrubbed, but in spite Of the scrubhing they thought they could detect blood signs in the damp spot They also found on the curbing of the well what they believed to be dried blood. Even if blood had been spilled there in the night it would by sun. They removed some of the boards of the curbing but they could not see far into the dark depths of the well.
 But they thought that they had al- ready discovered enough to warrant them in bringing the matter to the notice of tho authorities and they came to town.
 Officers visited the place later and made an investigation. They sent a man down into the well and he reported that the bottom of it was dry. In that case it was supposed that if one had intended to conceal a dead body .n it he would have covered it up. \ good deal of the dirt and debris was sent to the surface. The investigators satisfied themselves that nothing had been concealed there and the search was abandoned.
 But there came near being a tragedy after all. The man sent down into the well was the little and agile Fred Gardner. the biggest man in town. There was no trouble in getting him started down. The well is q square hole in the ground, box lined, but the di- mansions decreased with depth and when Gardner reached the bottom he found himself wedged into it. He was drawn out with a great deal of ditfi- culty and another man of less girth was sent down.

hopelessly ill, but managed to keep on his feet and fight his trouble to the last. He kept up till his strength was completely exhausted and the lamp of life fiickered out. The body was turn ed over to Easterli-T & Whitney, who have wired his relatives.

TRADE CONDITIONS.
n. G. Dun & Co. Report Good Pros
poets For All Industries.

NEW YORK, July 16.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Trade conditions were gradually be-
coming more normal after the conclu-
sion of political conventions when a
new disturbing factor appeared in the
strike of packing house employees and
allied trades This enhanced prices of
meats and added many thousands to
the already large army of unemployed,
weakening the purchasing power of
the people still further. Aside from this
unfavorable development, the news of
the week contained much encourage
ment.
CropprOspects improved, and the gen
eral level of prices for farm products
promises a large return to agrlcutur-
lists which means better business for
all industries. Confidence grows with
the crops retailers showing more dis
position TO prepare for the future as
the season advances with 10 serious
setback TO the farms.
Confidence is returning in the Sc
cuIltJ HldThet' the average pIlCt- VI
sixty active railway shares showing an
advance over the level IA year ago for
the first time in 1904. Bank exchanges
at New York for the week We're % per
cent smaller than a year ago while at
other leading cities the loss was only
