publican sample lot of fruit that fully meets the requirements. And it did not come from a store either, for the twigs and leaves were still hanging to the fruit.
 POLICE COURT-Pat Daley. sleep ing drunk, yesterday jumped a three dollar bail and John Doe served a two day sentence and paid eight dollars ad- ditional for his liberty. Late the even ing before Frank Lyons was jailed for ! fifteen days for a misdemeanor, Tom Rodgers fifteen days for vagrancy and five other men were sent below for ten days each on a vagrancy charge. Their names are George Brown. William Norris, Jack Belmont, John Clark and B. West.
 GLANDERS-Dr. J. c. Norton re- turned from Douglas yesterday morn ing where he killed a couple of horses that were suffering of gIanders. He had had them under suspicion and quarantine for sometime to satisfy himself of the nature of their illness. This is the first detection of glanders in Arizona for over six years, except few cases that were developed in Yuma county after coming from California, ana which were quickly and effectuaI- iy disposed of.
 A NEW HEALTH OFFICER-There was a meeting of the city council yes terday afternoon to consider the mat ter of the resignation of Dr. O. E. Plath, city health officer. The resigna- tiOn was accepted and Dr. O'Connor was appointed to the office. The coun- ciI also decided to hold a meeting at 4:SO this afternoon for the purpose of further considering the question of the plans for the new Carnegie library building. All the architects of the city are requested to be present at the meeting.
 DUCK HUNTING GOOD-Ducks are reported more plentiful now than at any other time for two years past. All the hunters are bringing in good bags. Mallards, sprigs, widgeons, teal, spoon bills and occasionally redheads and canvas backs, are being killed on the river and the irrigated fields. Several parties are contemplating trips to the Florence reservoir. A party of four intends leaving on this mornings train From present weather indications the ducks will remain plentiful until next month.
 FALSE ALARM-Immediate fol- lowing the. curfew bell last night there was a fire alarm turned in from box 1G, corner of Fifth and Monroe streets. The department responded as quickly as possible, though many of the fire men were deceived, thinking the bell was only the customary curfew ring. No trace of a fire could be found and the firemen believe the alarm was turned in by mischievous boys who tried to confuse the firemen by sending in the alarm just as the curfew was due to ring.
 FRATERNAL APPRECIATION-I Tonight is Elks night again but there will be no initiation, for the first time in a long string of meeting nights. This is not by reason of a lack of can didates, for there is good timber in waiting, but it is because of the pres ence in the city tonight of Brother Frederick Warde," one of the founders of ElkdOm. MT. Warde is going to present a bit of Carthagenian history at the Hardwick theater and the breth- l ren all want to hear what he has to say, so the initiatOry "obsequies" will | be omitted from tonights lodge pro- gTamme, that the meeting may be cut l

him guilty of manslaughter, eliminat
Ing murder from the case. The jury
might readily have acquitted him.
Ten year, in prison was a terrible
punishment. at would" said Dunno,
induce man like myself or Your
Honor to blow his brains out" Con-
sidering these things he asked tho
Court to be as lenient as possible. It
was serious question II Naone would
live through ten years Imprisonment
Dr. Sinclair had examined him: whilo
no bacilli were found In the sputum
there was a process in the lungs. The
minimum sentence would serve thu
ends of Justice. The law was not vim.
dictive nor harsh. Naone was young
II he outlived his sentence he might
become a useful member Of society.
Judge De Bolt said that the Court
could not be influenced by sympathy
The jury had been extremely lenient.
Murder In the second degree would
have been more consistent than the
verdict which was found. Il was not
the purpose Of the law to punish for
revNge, but terrible crimes must be
punished In such a way as to give a
warning to others. The Court could
not conscientiously impose a sentence
under the maximum. That would be
lenient. That Naone was not found
guilty of murder in the first degree
could be attributed to his counsel, for
whom the Court had nothing but
praise. The Court did not censure the
jury, which had evidently done what
II thought right. STILL when the case
was considered calmly, and sympathy
was laid aside, It seemed apparent that
a verdict of murder in the second de-
gree would have been more in accord
with the facts than the verdict rem
dered. Naone was sentenced to i'm.
prisonment for twenty years.
Dunno asked that the defendant be
permitted to go to his home to see his
family before he began serving his
sentence. The Attorney General said
that he had not the power to permit II,
since Naone was now in the custody
of the Sheriff. The Court told Dunno
that 1t would recommend that the re-
quest be granted.

special Ca,. D.spdici! n THE sun.
LONDON, May ia mailed report OF the
recent meeting Of international representa-
tives ct Adds Abeba. Abyssinia, to dis
cuss the railway question. at which En-
peror Merslik presided. shows that the
Emperor Is impatient with the delay in the
construction of the line by French COM
pany.
His Majesty complained that sterile
discussions with the Minister'S Of foreign
Powers had suspended the work for three
years, thereby, among other in con veniences,
preventing his Majesty from visiting
Europe. He declared that If the Powers
could not come to an understanding and
end the deadlock he would construct the
railway himself, not accepting help from
anybody
Mr.. Harm gton, the British Minister,
said that Great Britain was ready to sign
any agreement insuring the independence
OF Ethiopia, but a railway built with capital
provided by a single nation and controlled
by a single foreign government would
place Abyssinia in position incompatible
with Independence and the integrity OF
her territory. The question ought to be
treated wholly as a commercial one and in
nowise as a political one. The best solution
would be for all nations to be allowed to
share in providing the capital, although
the French company might manage the
line.
Menelik said he had always regarded the
enterprise as a commercial one. and that
be could not allow it TO DO political one

France had not yet decided the question.
