ANNIE OAKLEY CASE.
Supreme Court of New Jersey Sets
Verdict Aside.

verdict for 50, 900 damages. secured
by Annie Oakley against the Hobolxen
Observer, was set aside in an opinion
handed down by the supreme court of
New Jersey a few days ago. This is
one of the famous cases against newspa-
pers, resulting from the publication OF
a telegraph story, from Chicago, which
was claimed to have done injury to
Annie Oakley, the famous rife shot
Two years ago last August a woman
was arrested in Chicago. on a. charge of
stealing a pair Of trousers belonging to
a negro. She declared she was Annie
Oakley. the famous rife shot, and that
cocaine had brought her to a prison
cell. She was lying like a trooper, and
deceived reporters and police authori-
ties. She was not the Annie Oakley she
represented herself to be. The woman
who has earned a rational reputation
as Annie Oakley, is d Mrs. Butler, of
Nutley, n. J. The Chicago story was
printed broadcast over the country, and
Mrs. Butler brought damage suits
against many newspapers. The Topeka
state Journal was one of the first pa
pers sued, and a Judgment for 1000
was collected. The supreme court of
New Jersey held that the damages were
too remote. as the absence of actual
malice was admitted. Mrs. Butler
charged that she was made i'll by the
publica ton of the report, and that worry
had destroyed her ability to earn $3.50 a.
week as an expert. rifle sh0t.-Atchison

because of telling falsehoods. They are
not suffering. NfcJimsey earns from one
to five dollars every day gathering junk.
The Oldest boy works at the same bust
ness and earns one and two dollars
day He has two horses, such as they
are. Mrs. McJimsey works out and
consequently earns something. She is
at ParkersvilIe, Kan. They separated
about a month ago, she leaving him.
There are i've children at home. One
of the children is not theirs. They took
him from the chiIdren's home out here.
1t is funny that they can keep some one
eIse's child when they cannot take care
of their own. We have always helped
the children. We have given them coats
and undercIothes and shoes and stock
ings, and practically everything they
needed. Other people have also helped
them But It is always the same old
cry. They lived in a tent until we got
them a house and urged them to live in
it to keep the babies from getting sick.
They have lived in a covered wagon for
A long time. McJimsey wears Saliva
ton Army cap. About a month ago
both Mr. and Mrs. McJiTasey tried to
get into the Army on probation. They
begged at the altar. But we have re-
fused to take them in. They are not
members and never will be. I have writ
ten to Mrs McJimsey and asked her to
come home to her children, but she says
that she does not love them any more,
because they are so impudent to her.
She claims that her husband is so cruel
that she will not live with him. She
saws that he has never done anything
for her -She SAYS she has served her
time out.

THE LARGER ToNTo DAM
The chances Are That Twenty Feet Will Be Added to The Height
 of The Dam.

That the plans of the Tonto Dam as accepted, will be changed, seems very probable. The original-plan of the big dam was cut down twenty feet by the consulting engineers because the records of the water fall of the five years previous clearly showed that the reservoir could not be filled to such a depth. Hence much against the desire of MT. Davis, the Tgiuc- ton was made, but the rainfall of the past year demonstrates beyond con- lecture that the original plan of the dam was the proper one, and steps have beel taken by the board of governors and President Fowler. to have the original plan adopted. and as the government has always been exceedingly just and generous in its dealings with this valley, we think beyond cues1on that this will be done. The twenty feet added to the height of the dam will cost from S150000 to $200,0G0 more than the one that was adopted by the govern ment, but think of the enormous body of additional water there can be stored by this addition. Twenty feet of water in that great reservoir means much to this valley and inasmuch as the record of the past year shows that it can be filled even two or three times in one season, it is to be hoped that the larger dam plans will pre- vail.-PhceuiG Enterprise.

HAS SEEN WORSE
 AS WELL AS BETTER
ENGINEER RHoADEs so SAYS RE GARDlNG SEWER POSSl-
 ELITES.
Council to Meet This Afternoon to Hear His Report-WilI Spend Dayfn Field-Engineer O,mstead Expected in Town Shortly.

Nelson Rhoades, sewer builder. ar rived in the city yesterday. He is here to look over the ground and then tell the council what he thinks of the feasibility of a sewerage system for Bisbee and what he thinks the costsof it would be.
 q have seen some worse and some better looking sewerage system sites, said Mir. Rhoades last evening, when asked as to what he thought of the local situation. Further than this am not at the present time prepared to say. Tomorrow evening, after an other day spent in looking over the ground. can tell you more about it.
 MT. Rhoades was shown about the city yesterday by Councilman Devine. This morning at g o'clock he will meet with members of the council. They will go for a general look over the ground. concluding their trip at the outlet for the sewerage system which Mr. Rhoades may consider the most de sirable. Following his return to the city there will be a meeting of the council to receive his report. Inten' ton last nieht was that t1is meeting would be held at four this afternoon and a call for council to meet at that hour-was issued by City Clerk HicAs
 Mir. Rhoades is here in response tO an invitation extended by the cOulcl! Ecllowing correspondence with Messrs RhCadCs & O'Brian. a well known Col orado contracting firm which has made 2 specially of sewer building work Tor } number of years. In the cOTre spondence had the firm offered to send an engineer to the city to make csti mate of the cost of building a sewer, Il bc found the work feasible. and to map out a line for the same. His findings would be given to the city and lhl firm put in a Lid to do the work at tha figure named by its engineer.
 t is expected that Engineer Olm stead of Los Angeles, who recently drew plans for street paving in Bisbee will also arrive here today, though he may not come until tomorrow. Ar Olmstead has had considerable expeTl | ence in the building of sewerage sys tems. and is at present in Douglas with reference to plans for a sewer age system there. He went to that city on Friday. Previously he had written here from Los Angeles that hC would visit Bisbee some time during | the month. When he comes the coun cil will doubtless ask him for an opin ion as to the sewerage possibilities iI Bisbee. and with his opinion and that of Mir. Rhoades in hand will be in a position to form some definite conclu sion.
