AMERICAN LANDSCAPE.
How Ii Differs From That of Eng
land and the Continents.


The American landscape, even in the
older parts of the country. is generally
unkempt and does not lend itself as
readily to formal treatment as does the
typical English or continental land
scape. The owners of big estates rare
ly appreciate the scale on which the
landscape architecture should be laid
out and the patience which Is neces-
sary to obtain a complete and conSum-
mate effect. They want ready made
estates Finally, the leading American
house architects have, with II few eX
ccptOnS, a good deal to learn about
the technique of landscape design. 80
far as the large house itself is CON
Cerned, Il convention has been cstaD-
liShcd which is in the main Il good
convention, but the designing of gar
denS IS still in an early experimental
stage The stage properties are col
lected in abundance. There is no lack
of pergolaS. fountains, we'll heads. ga
Zebos, Statuary and pottery, but as like
as not they are indiscriminately placed.
The architectural features are, how
ever generally somewhat better man
aged than the planting which fire.
Qucntly looks as if an Irish gardener
had been given some vague general di-
rections, or as if the ~ y of the house
had considered that it was a woman's
business to make the garden green.
As matter OF fact. however, the lady
of the house. in case she has her own
way, generally paints the garden vel
low and red rather than green. Her
idea usually IS merely to get as much
bloom rs possible. and this she does at
n sacrifice of those masses of foliage
which are absolutely necessary to give
mass, body and depth to n large gar

CROWDS PACKED
 THE COURT ROOM
TO HEAR STORY OF MURDOCH. eRALEY FEUD BROUGHT
 FROM NEW MEXICO,
Murdock Speedily Acquitted by Jury on Charge of Carrying Concealed Weapons = Sensational Story Un- folded.


 Hearing of the case of J. S. Nurdock. charged with carrying concealed wea- pons, attracted large crowds to the court of Justice Murphy yesterday af- ,ternoon and evening. The outcome .of the hearing was acQuittal of Mur- dock by the jury on the first ballot taken
 Eyidence concerning the previous trouble between Murdock. and the man Braley who attempted his murder on Wednesday last. was debarred un- til Murdock himself took the stand. when the freqJInt objections of At torneys Merit and Ross for the prose cution were Oyerruled. Murdock re- lated that Braley, in the last eleven years, had attempted to assassinate him on a number of occasions. Mur- dock had finally left New Mexico. where the trouble between the men originated. through the alienation of the affections of Murdock's wife by Braley, and came to Arizona He said he had supposed himself rid of Braley until the 10th of this month. when Braley leaned out of Q car win dow at the E. P. & s. w. depot in this city and applied vile epithets to him, at the same time declaring he would kill him yet. o. C. Smith heard the talk. and when he saw Braley in town Wednesday afternoon, at work on the Muheim building. warned Murdock or meeting him in the evening on his way home Cf the presence here of Bra ley. IL was then that Murdock went 10 his room and got his gun before continuing through town to see his daughter.
 Murdock said he looked for an off cer on the way through town. but did not see one. The first he saw of Braley in front of the Red Light sa- Icon, Braley was making for him with a hammer. Braley swore that AIur- dock came at him in threatening manner. and that he drew the ham mer in self-defense. Eye witnesses disputed Braley's statement and con firmed that of Murdock. The con tention of the prosecution was that MurdOck, after arming himself, should have gone to the office of a justice of the peace and sworn out a warrant for the arrest of Braley. The de fense contended that within the time between which MurdCck learned of the presence of Braley and their meeting, an hour, Murdock did not have full opportunity to take such action, and that he conducted himself within the law. which permits one to arm for self protection when informed of i'm
 uinent danger threatening
 In the course of his testimony MuT- deck told of shooting horse from under Braley in New Mexico on one occasion when Braley and a compan-
 ion attempted to hold him up. On another occasion he told of attempt by Braiey to have poison put in his food. The persecution waged by Braley- Murdock said, had cost him home. ranch and stock in New Mexico, and driven him from there, and he believed would have cost him his own life and that of his son on Wednesday night had he not been armed, and by level ing his gun at the man Davis, who at tempted to rush to the assistance or Braley with a knife, driven him away. running like the big coyote he is,
 MurdOck concluded.

Aside from one case of jumping there has been no attempt at land grabbing in the city since Saturday night a week ago. when the mayor closed his books in the matter of is suance of townsite deeds.
 The jumping done has been by W. P. Simms, a dentist in the Bank of Bisbee building. He has gotten hold os fifteen lots in all, and will endeavor to hold them on a technicality of the law. This decision was arrived at by Simms yesterday after a couple of days barley with the claimants of the lots The latter will not relinquish the ground without contest.
 Simms claims that because the i'm provements necessary on the ground in order to secure deeds by the par ties who hold the ground were not completed before October last the ap plications for deeds by the parties who hold the ground were not in ac .cordance with law, and that they have therefore forfeited right to title There are many lots in the city that are in the same fix, and if the Simms idea of jumping is carried out to the limit there will be many people. prin cipally workingmen. in town who will have 10 put up a fight in the courts to retain their homes.
 It is not just clear how Simms can benefit from the jumping act in the event that he should win a decision inasmuch as he himself has not per formed the Improvements on the ground that he claims to have been lacking in October. Under the law

This 'afternoon at three o'clock the corner stone of the new Central School building will be laid The exercises will take place at the school grounds. and an interesting program has been prepared for the occasion.
 The building of this magnificent school structure is another evidence of the rapid growth aNd prosperity of Greater Bisbee. More than that. it is another evidence of the progressive and liberal spirit which has on this occasion again manifested itself with a lavish hand The building is being erected at a cost to the taxpayers of $52,500, and is part of~the proceeds ob- tained from the issuance of school bonds authorized at school election held in this city last February.
 In that election the school children. imbued with the inspiration for a higher education, took an active part, and the success of the election de pended in no small degree to their per sistence and enthusiasm on the side of the school bonds. With the issu- ance of the bonds authorized there were no lack of bidders. The Bank of Bisbee stepped in and was award ed the bonds at the highest premium, and the money was made available Immediately. Next came the award ing of the contract, and again a home firm was successful. The plans of Architect Hurst were found to be the best adapted for school purposes. and Boston & Brown were awarded the building contract at the above fig ures. The total amount of the bond issue was S75,G00 The remaining sum will be used for furnishings for the school building and the purchase of adjoining ground for aa enlarged playground. Bisbee will be first in the matter of public school buildings in the territory. and today when we lay the corner stone the citizens of Greater B.sbee have just cause to feel proud.
 The corner stone which will be plac- cd in the wall at the left of the man entrance bears the following inscrip- tion

1t can be truly said that the course
of creamery development westward
takes its way. The far west is up
against the same difficulties which be-
set the east in the past. The creamery
promoter whom we had in Colorado
fifteen years ago has gone farther west
to grow up with the country and to
thrive and grow fat on the uninitiated.
He is now in Montana, where the
calves do the milking, to promote the
creamery business, to exchange elo-
