 ! REAL ESTATE COMMtSSI
 In recent reports of district court pro ceedings it has been mentioned that in 1 the cases of Spaulding against Sun derland and Spaulding against Porter, actions brought for the recovery of | commissions on real estate sales, judg- ments had been given the defendants. , In both of those cases the court said
 that it was true as the plaintiff had contended that he had been the pro | curing cause Of the sales and was morally entitled to remuneration for : whatever service he had performed but that the law compelled the court to decide in favor of the defendant The condition of the law vii therefore inspire dealers in real estate to have it amended at the next session of the legislature.
 ONE OF THE "OTHER" RACES.- In yesterday mornings mention of the running race at the fair grounds Sat urday. between Buttermilk and the Climber horse. it was stated that there were several other races also. One of these other races was of more than passing interest, as it was run for a S200 purse and at least another hun dred dollars changed hands through side bets. The race was between Sweetheart lilly owned by a Mir. Mill Ter of Williams and brother of Little Joe, owned by MT. Piper of Flagstaff. The sensational feature of the race was that Sweetheart was a surprise to most of the local horsemen who had no ac- quaintance with her and who cOnfi- dently expected the other horse to win. Sweetheart won by three lengths. JUSTIFlABLE INSANITY. - The Tucson Star sa-rs a Mexican by the name of Pedro Garcia, driven insane through starvation, wandered to the ranch of Vim. Coberly, forty miles
 south of Tucson. He was fed and brought to Tucson, where he was ar raigned, adjudged insane and will be | brought to Phoenix this week. The Star also says the man is harmless and his only hobby is wanting to get some thing to eat and get well. The Star may not have been thorough in it's elu- citation of the case, but if there was no other evidence of insanity than the hobby mentioned Pedro's insanity appears to be fully justifable. It may
 be added that every other right-minded
 person not in affluent circumstances is
 more or less crazy on the same sub
 ject.
 MURDER NEAR METCALF. A
 most brutal murder was committed
 Thursday last on the Shannon hill near
 Metcalf by Jesus Maria Garcia. who
 stabbed Conception Villa, who was liv-
 ing with him as his wife, killing her
 instantly. Soon after committing the
 terrible deed Garcia placed the muzzle
 of pistol beneath his chin and fired,
 the ball passing through his mouth and
 infiicting a serious, but not dangerous
 wound. Justice Campbell was soon at
 the spot and took charge of the wound
 ed man, and it was well that he did,
 because the Mexican population was so incensed over the affair that they would probably have finished the job on. Garcia. Realizing that violence was almost sure to be meted out to the prisoner Judge Campbell brought him to Clifton on the first train, where he has since been at the A. c. hospital and is recovering rapidly. Both par ties were from Spain. Jealousy was the cause of the trouble
