The following morning the man
awakened with a song upon the lips
that she had kissed. AS he dressed
he strutted as a selfsatisfied cock
might strut while he plumed himself
in the barnyard. They we're to leave
that night. OF course nothing could
prevent her going, now-"nothing but
death" she had said. All the morning
he was busy arranging his affairs for
a long absence.
At noon came a messenger with a
note. It was from her How well he

Under the naples the man walked
and the little leaves of brown and

had grown old in two days, frost had
touched his temples and his face was
gray and drawn. He looked at the
red chimneys above the tree tops; he
held out his arms towards them, yearn-
ingly, with half-stified moan. The
little leaves danced and flew in clouds
before his eyes, they beat him upon
the face; they seemed to run and
jump before his sight, binding him,
stinging him, as he held his arms to-
wards the red chimneys

BRIGHT ANGEL TRAIL
A Suit to Determine the Rights of
 the Toll Collectors.

The supreme court yesterday rendered an important decision af- fecting the toll road, or trail, lead ing from the Bright Angel hotel into the Grand Canyon. It was decided that it is the duty of the district attorney, under a proper showing of the facts, to bring quo warfanto proceedings against c. H. Mcclure and others and compel them to show by what authority they exercise a franchise which en- titles them to collect toll from trav- elers over the Bright Angel trail.
 Early in the month Martin Bug geln, proprietor of the Bright Angel hotel at the Grand Canyon, pre- sented a verified petition to District Attorney Doe of Coconino county, and asked him to inquire into the matter with a view to beginning quo warranto proceedings against the men operating the toll road. MT. Doe declined to begin the ac- tion, saying he had already in- quired into the matter and had come to the conclusion that Me Cure and his associates were not usurping any functions, whereupon Buggeln filed his petition in the su- preme court for a writ of manda- mus compelling Doe to start the suggested proceedings. Doe de- murred to the complaint, and argu- ments were heard by the supreme court yesterday. The district at torney took the position, first that Buggeln's statement of facts was insufficient; and, second, that it was discretionary with the district attorney whether he would file suit or not. The supreme court decided that Buggeln's petition was not full enough, but held that upon a proper showing of the facts the district at- torney will be compelled to prose- cute quo warranto suit.-Repub- lican, March 27.

cisco.

Washington, March 25.-Senator Hansborough charged in the senate today that the movement to secure the repeal of the desert land laws, the timber and stone law, and the communication clause of the home stead act was due to the efforts of a lobby composed mainly of holders of lands who bought in large tracts from railroad companies with de- sire thereby to increase the demand for their value. Senator Dubois intimated that the pressure for re- peal was due to large holdings of forest lieu lands by the railroads.
 Mir. Gibson yesterday advocated repeating the laws in question. Messrs. Hansborough and Dubois contended that the repeal would be unwise. MT. Newlands favored notifications of the law.

A New Prophet Has Arisen.

Until just recently few people realized that in our midst was a weather prophet of phenomenal ability, who has made a complete success of it, obtaining his informa- tion from some mystic source he refuses to divulge.
 It is an evidence that wonderful wisdom comes from most unex- pected sources, and few could be- lieve that Adam Molenpaugh was possessed of such occult powers that lead him to modestly predict two floods that swept through Flagstaff last spring and summer and to con- tinue 1nfallibly to predict dry weather all winter long, standing by his first prediction in the early fall that it would be dry, very dry, yes. He also predicts dry, very dry, weather for the next six months. In the last six months he has been called upon by all manner of peo- pie for his opinion as to probab able weather conditions and has attained great local notoriety in this line.
 He never fails and says there will not be an inch of rain fall this summer.
 The snow this week don't count, as it is abnormal.-Coconino Sun.

THE GRAND CANYON
New Hotel to Be Completed on
 October 1.

Construction of the new Bright Angel tavern at the terminus of the Santa Fe Grand Canyon line is progressing, and it will be ready for opening on October 1st next. The hotel will be steam heated, electric-lighted, and completely equipped with sanitary plumbing, toilet arrangements, baths, etc.
 The Harvey management, which has made the Santa Fe dining car and dining station service so ex- cellent and popular, will have charge of the new hotel. Metro politan luxuries and service will then be obtainable by visitors to the Grand Canyon, and this will undoubtedly increase travel to that natural wonder.
 Among the other Improvements in progress is the illumination by electricity of the rim of the canyon.
 For mile or more from the hotel this illumination will be made, making a partial view of the great chasm possible at night.
 An Indian village will be built during the summer, near the hotel and station. It will be an exact reproduction of Moki pueblo, with genuine Indians for permanent in habitants, engaged in their custom ary occupations.

Instead of a man foully mur- dered, with his head eaten off by coyotes, as it was first reported to be the case with John Phillips, found dead at Winters Wells, the dead man committed suicide delib- erately. A crotched stick to pull the rifles trigger, an empty rifle at the mans feet, the top of the mans head blown away by the charge. all point conclusively and positively that John Phillips committed the deed himself and after premedita- tion. The body had not been tam pered with since the mans death. Forty dollars were found in his pockets, and neither the house nor its occupant showed any signs of having been meddled with in the least. The tracks about the place were probably made by some miner who visited Phillips before his death.

The Williams Rifle Club.

Last Sunday at the grounds there was a fair representation of the local shooters, and it is expected, since the reorganization, that near ly all of the members of last year will join again. While last year an average of only eight or ten were present each Sunday, the total membership was about twenty-five.
 The roll so far contains eleven names, which are all given in the list below, except that of MT. H. D. Johnson, who did not take part. A fee of one dollar was charged to cover current expenses. Owing to the bad condition of the grounds, but five shots each were fired at the POO yard range. Tomorrow we hope to have new targets in place and everything in smooth running or der, with possibility that better scores will be made.

CATTLE SHIPMENTS
Representative to Plead With
 Railroads for Rates.

The Tucson Citizen says: Capt. w. H. McKittrick, of Wilcox, who is the president of the Arizona Cat tie Growers association, is here to meet Division Passenger and Freight Agent c. M. Burkhalter and other Southern Pacific officials relative to starvation rates" After the close of the consultation held here, Capt. McKittrick will proceed to San Francisco to meet officials of the s. P. company who are higher in authority, as also high officials of the Santa Fe.
 In the interest of the stockmen of Arizona, Capt. McKittrick is desir- ous of arranging starvation rates" for the immediate movement of Arizona cattle to pastures in Kan sas and Missouri and in California. The plan is based upon existing conditions in the territory, lack of rain making it imperative to place cattle on ranges where they can feed. Should copious showers fall at an early date, terms on the basis of starvation rates" will not be found necessary.
 However, the prospect is not at all favorable for rain and active measures must be taken to save the cattle on the range. Some years ago terms were made such as are desired at this time. Capt. McKit- trick will make every effort to ar range terms under the above head, in Tucson as we'll as in San Fran cisco.

Greensboro, n. c., Aug. 31.-After a
long debate by attorneys for the pros
ecution and the defense for and
against continuance, the case against
George A. Summers, indicted for al
legged embezzlement of 81, 400 from the
Singer Sewing Machine Company, was
continued by Judge Neal this morn
ing until the next term of court. The
defendant is out under bond. There
being several witnesses in this case
from points as far distant as Chicago
and Atlanta Thursday of the first week
next court was named for the case to
be taken up.
Judge Neal announced this morning
that there would be no other case
taken up after the case of State VS.
Harrington, which was begun at Il
O'Clock. A special venire OF 100 men
were present, and at noon the work of
selecting a jury was begun and has
been in progress all the afternoon.
Harrington is a comely young white
man, apparently not over eighteen
years of age, who is charged in the
pill of indictment with burglary, with
attempt at criminal assault on Il mar
ried lady at High Point last May. The
case will evidently take up the whole
week, as it will be a hard fought one
The case is made doubly interesting
from the fact that the defendant Occu-
pies a prominent social position, has
good record, and is a protege of the
Messrs. Blair, who have educated him
and are standing by him with all the
power and confidence they possess, alb
solutely protesting his innocence and
scouting the grave charge brought
against him. The young man does
not appear at all excited and no one
looking at him would judge that he
was undergoing the ordeal of a trial
for his life on so heinous q charge.
