MR.. VESTS STATEMENT.

The facts presented to the de-
partment showed that Mr.. Nc
Gilvery had hired one Dommick
Cameron, and paid him $3.50 to
locate him a homestead and
build him a cabin. 1t showed
that he had not slept a night on
the place nor eaten a meal in
the cabin, and that he was hold
ing his claim by proxy, but the
department held that he was
entitled to the land as home-
stead. He has changed his FL
ings to that Of a timber claim,
and will still have the land.

ANOTHER WAY AT IT
Renewal Yesterday of the Wedge
 woFth-Dawes Litigation.

The litiga ton of J. B. WedgewOrth against W. C. Dawes and c. H. Rob inSon was reviewed in district court yesterday. hTe plaintiff had brought a condemnation suit against the de- fendants for the purpose of securing a right of way for a lateral ditch from the Buckeye canal through their lands which lie between his and the main canal. It turned out that none of these parties were the owners of the lands occupied by them but that their hold ings were school lands held by them on leases. The court held that a right of way could not be secured by the plaintiff by condemnation proceedings since If he were adjudged the right of way asked for the judgment would convey to him a title to the land in yoIEe.I. The court could not so con yey government land from one tenant to ano ther.
 Yesterday the plaintiff filed an in SujuRcti on suit. It is stated in the complaint that in 1898 the plaintiff had ente red into an arrangement with Dawes by which he should construct j. lateral from the canal to his place
Arizona republican., 1905-06-16

through the land occupied by Dawes. Both were to make use of the lateral.
 This arrangement was in effect un- til about a year ago when Dawes filled up the lateral leading to the land of the plaintiff and has since refused to allow him to reopen it. The plaintiff says he has no other convenient way of introducing water to his half of the section. There is an old ditch through which he used to run water but it is crossed by washes and the soil through which it runs takes up so much of the water that there is a great waste. By means of this ditch a part of his land could not be reached at all.
 The complaint states that the de fendants have not only filled the later al but they have planted a crop of grain on the site of it. The grain he says though is of no value and the de- fendants would suffer little by the up roofing of it. The court is asked to permit him to reopen the lateral and to restrain the defendants from interfer- ing with him while he is doing it and to restrain them forever from inter ference with this enjoyment of it.

UNITED STATES nARSHALSHIP
Col. n'Cord Speaks of the Appoint
 ment of His Successor.

United States Marshal McCOrd was seen yesterday regarding the appoint ment of his successor, Superintendent Daniels of the territorial prison. Col. McCord said that he had expected the appointment of MT. Daniels earlier. But about a month ago he received letter from President Roosevelt saying that it was his wish that Col. McCOrd should serve out his full four years term. He also added that he was de sirous of then appointing MT. Daniels. There was no request for resigna- tion but Col. McCord at once for warded one with the suggestion that by reason of the fact that the end of the quarter and the end of the fiscal year would fall on June 30, it would be better for the office and also for MT. Daniels if his appointment should be made effective on July 1. The sug- gestion was accepted. Col McCord' s term expired yesterday.
 Col. McCord said that he was in no way disgruntled; the president had treated him very fairly in permitting him to continue his term. It was but natural he said that the president should desire to make d place for d personal friend and cOmrade. The colOneTs relations with the depart ment had always been of the most pleasant character and he would look back upon his service in the position of United States marshal with pleas uTe.
 He was asked if MT. Daniels would probably make sweeping changes in the office. He replied that he had no means of knowing but he would sur mise that for a time at least there would be no changes. Chief Deputy WeIles has been in his position so long and through so many administrations that he is more thoroughly familiar with the perpleXing routine than an other man could become in years.
 The force of deputies is an excellent one. Charles Utting and Dave Hughes are not only good men but they are personal friends of MT. Daniels. hay ing served with him in the Spanish war. F. w. Hill has been a very ener- getic deputy and is well known to the incoming United States marshal
 There were renewed or rather con- tinued rumOrs yesterday of the sue cession of Captain J. L. B. Alexander to United States Attorney Nave and in some quarters it was predicted that announcement would be made of the appointment of Captain Alexander be- fore the end of the week. This pre- dictiOn it was said was based on in formation which had come from Washington.
