THE NEWS OF TUCSON
AND OF PIMA COUNTY


From the Tucson Citizen
The city marshal arrested fourteen
men on Thursday for leaving their
horses unhitched on the streets. The
victims thought the marshal was only
blufiing. They called and found him
there with the goods.
The truck gardeners and fruit men
in the vicinity of the city are up
against it in the shape of green bug
which has made its appearance in
countless numbers lately, being espe-
cially devoted to watermelon vines, ac-
cording TO report 1t seems that the
insect is a product of the rainy season,
and therefore has not been much in
evidence in this part of the territory,
but the excessive moisture of the pres
ent spring has brought the pest again
on deck to the sorrow of the ranchers.
A rather peculiar case has reached
the United States attorney and is at
present being investigated by his assis-
tant, Mr. Reynolds in Graham county.
Two Apaches, who are charged with
cattle stealing, which is territorial
offense, and not Federal case, will be
taken before the grand jury in the
course of few days. If they are in
dicted Mr.. Nave will go over there
next week to defend them. This action
will be taken at the request of the at
torney general of the United States be-
cause they are wards of the govern
ment. In other words, it is about the
only circumstance under which the
Federal attorneys would mix up in
territorial case.
From the Tucson Post
Louis Zeckendorf, formerly of the
firm of l.. Zeckendorf & Co.. will en-
gagein in the wholesale and retail business
at the old firms quarters on Main street.
These rooms are at present occupied by
Albert Steinfeld & Co., whose business
will be removed within a few weeks to
the handsome new block being erected
on Congress, Stone and Pennington
streets.
The first meeting of the newly-ap-
pointed board of regents for the Univer-
sity of Arizona was held Friday after
noon at o'clock. Governor Kibbey
came down from Phoenix in the morn
ing and was accompanied by Walter
Talbot, former mayor of Phoenix and
one of the members of the board, which
consists of NJ F. Freeman, C. II. Bay
less, Geo. j. Roskruge and Walter Tai
bot. The board continued in session
until ) O'Clock yesterday afternoon, the
first business to be transacted being the
election of officers for the next year.
Walter Talbot was chosen chancellor.
M. p. Freeman treasurer, and Geo. J.
Roskruge, secretary.
Tucson authorities are endeavoring
to locate John F. Harcourt. who was
brought back to the territory last fall
at cost of something like $500. 1t will
be remembered that after turning
states evidence at the preliminary hear
ing of Ezra Bartlett, Harcourt was re-
leased on his own recognizance and has
not been seen since. He did not turn up
when the grand jury met and it is gen
orally thought that Arizona will again
have to fight to extradite him if he is
located. The grand jury having ig-
nored the charges against Ezra C. Bart
lett he is now free from criminal re-
sponsibility, but the civil suit for dam
ages brought against him by Albert
Steinfeld will probably be tried at this
term. AT the time of the preliminary
hearing, Harcourt's deposition was
taken, so that his testimony can be in
troduced at the trial of the civil suit.
