Atmosphere That Intoxicates

Visitors to the great wine cellars OF
Spain, says the Journal of Inebriety
sometimes suffer from symptoms OF
alcoholic intoxication. In some of these
places, 1t is said, as much as half an
ounce Of absolute alcohol is found in
five or six cubic feet Of air.
In London and on the Continent bar
keepers who work in badly ventilated
saloons are practically drunkards with
out swallowing any liquor. Prussian
and French authorities force all estab-
lishments where spirits are sold to
thoroughly ventilate the premises twice
a day.

HOBBS IS ACQUITTED.
Was ln Arizona at Time of Crime, and
 Easily Proves Perfect AIlbi,

Lee Hobbs, deputy sheriff of Gra- ham county, who was arrested at Clifton last week, charged with the murder of Second Mate J. B. Nixon in a mutiny on board the British steamer Leicester Castle, September ?, 1902, was given his liberty Monday after noon at Phoenix.
 Judge Kent stated that in his opinion the evidence showed that the defendant was in this territory at the time the crime was committed.
 The prosecution brought to Phoenix James Murray and Thomas Lyons for the purpose of identifying Hobbs as the murderer. The former is the son of the proprietor of the Murray House, San Francisco, where the sailors stopped before embarking on the Lei cester Castle, and the latter owned cigar stand nearby. Both claimed to know the murderer. United States Marshal McCord subpeonaed large number of citizens and Hobbs was al. lowed to move at ease in their midst in the Marshal's office, while the two men looked for the murderer but failed to find him. Hobbs sat on table, calmly smoking a cigar.
 Soon after this Judge Kent rendered his decision in the fight for extrsdition.
 The case against Hobbs was worked up by Sergeant Sparks, of the Arizona rangers, and has occasioned much hard feeling between the citizens of Graham county and the rangers.

Reduction of Water Rates.

By order of the City Council the following reduced water rates are made for the months of May, June and July, 1905:
 Domestic and lawn uses: First thousand gallons s2.OO, each thous- and gallons in excess of first thousand l2i cents per thousand gallons.
 Business house rate: Consumers will be allowed to \pay the same amounts as paid in 1904, and will be allowed to use twice the amount of water used in same period of 1904.
 These rates are made ih anticipation of the great volume of water expected to flow into the system during the months above, and 1t is hoped that this rate will encourage residents of the town to grow lawns and gardens.
