THE RAILROAD WINS
in the Condemnation Proceedings
 Against E. B. Perrin

A special dispatch to the Phoe- nix Republican from Prescott, dated June 13, says:
 The condemnation suit of the Grand Canyon Railway company against E. B. Perrin was argued before Judge Sloan in chambers to- day, T. J. Norton, solicitor for the Santa Fe, appearing for the plaint- if and E. M. Doe of Flagstaff and Walter Bennett efIPhoenix for the defendant. The plaintiff was given judgment.
 The suit was for the possession of about forty acres of land near Williams for cinder pit. the cin ders, volcanic deposit, to be used in ballasting the track of plaintiff. The defendant contended that un- der the statutes of the territory the plaintiff could not secure possession of the land by condemnation pro cess. The court, however, held that the land was as much subject to condemnation as a right of way, since it is to be used for purposes of construction.
 > The Prescott Courier has the fol. lowing to say:
 In the case of. the Grand Canyon : Railroad company vs. the Perrin Land and Cattle company, Judge Sloan decided that the railroad could continue to ballast its road from cinders taken from the Perrin |. ground upon putting up an indem' nifty bond of $25,OO0 pending the outcome of the litigation and a pos :. sible decision in favor of the Perrin people. The attorneys for the Per rins gave notice of an appeal. .

 Last Sunday was educational day in. the NJ. E. church throughout the world. Everywhere the morning church service was given over to the Sunday school, when the little folks sing appropriate songs and speak pieces.
 The program given by the Will jams Sunday school was a success in every. way, and reflected great credit upon the superintendent and others who drilled them. A special fea ture of the day was the beginning of very important Sun day school work, known as the "Cradle Roll" by means of which the youngest member of any family may become a member of the Sun day school As soon as the baby is enrolled it's mother receives a very pretty souvenir of it's first en- trance to the school. Mrs. McDon- aid Robinson is superintendent of this department and teaches the infant class. Mrs. R. J. Arey is the very efficient Sunday school superintendent.
 The collection Children's Day always goes to help poor students in our denominational schools. From three to five thousand students are aided every year by loans of from fifty to one hundred dollars, with out interest, to be repaid after their course is finished; thus the fund is permanent and increasing.
 The collection forwarded by the Williams school was $6.50.

 Wednesday evening Mrs. Martin Buggeln and daughters, Diletta and Edna, returned from Prescott, where they had gone last week to be pres ent at the graduating exercises of the high school. They were accom- panied by the Misses Minnie and Mamie Davis and the Misses Anna Meyers and Alice Adams, chaper oned by Miss Cuplin. These four young ladies composed the grad uating class and their trip to the Canyon is through the courtesy of MT. F. M. Murphy of the Pea vine," whoseguests they are, though he did not accompany them. The entire party will remain at the Canyon for few days, and re- turning here Mrs. Buggeln and her nieees will remain in Williams till after the Fourth, when they will return again to the Canyon. On Wednesday evening the train to the Canyon, owing to the lateness of trains from the east, did not leave till almost I o'clock, hence the young ladies availed themselves of the opportunity to attend the dance.

. Met Death Under a Wagon

Tuesday evening, while driving a loaded wagon from town to James Johnson's ranch, c. E. Colby fell under the wheels and was SO badly mashed up that death resulted about 12 o'clock that night.
 As near as we can learn, Colby, who had been engaged to go out on the rodeo as cook, had been in town Tuesday after a load of supplies, and along in the evening started for the Johnson ranch. He was alone on the wagon, but the son and niece of Mrs. Johnson were riding on horses near the wagon. Colby was chatting to them, and when in the hollow short distance beyond the cemetery the wagon struck stone in the road, and he, being slightly under the influence of liquor, it is said, was jolted off and fell under the wheels. The heavily loaded wagon passed over his breast, breaking several ribs and otherwise injuring him inter- nally. The boy and girl, after stopping the team, hastened on to the ranch for assistance. MT. John son immediately went to the scene and sent word to town of the acci. dent. Harry Cargile and AlrWake- field went out in a wagon and took the injured man to the hospital , where he died few hours later, as
 Colby was man of about forty years of age. He was born at Santa Fe. N. M, and has lived in the southwest all his life. Little is known of his relatives here, but it is said he has wife residing in Phoenix and one or two daughters over in New Mexico. The remains were inferred in the K. of P. ceme- tery Thursday evening under direc- ton of Undertaken J. s. Button.

7 violets, huge oak trees and delicate elves
which was no less real to me than the pro-
sale life I led apart from it. I was queen
of my fairy world and played in the moon
light revels OF led my hordes forth to bat
tie with equal pleasure.
Now the sole visible connection be-
tween my two existences was my "letter
box, hollow in the-trunk of majestic
oak which stood near the door. Into this
my subjects dropped their invisible petit
tions and the witch enemies flung their
notes of defiance and my affections were
deeply set upon it. A child s imagination
usually needs some slight basis for its
building and this fairy letter box was to
me the indisputable proof Of the reality of
my beautiful other world, an invaluable
solace for the wounds caused by those who
considered my air kingdom a sign Of my
lunaey.
Now my letter box is but memory
and the fairy land of my sovereignty has
drifted away so far that, grope as I may,
I cannot find it again and when I am
tired of the fruitless struggles for mastery
in the every day world there is naught
which seems more desirable than the other
life which the letter box made possible.
