MANUAL nAZON PARDONED
Doing Time for Violation of the Local
 Option Law.

Governor Kibbey yesterday granted a pardon to Manuel MazOn, a Mexican citizen of Pinal county. who has been doing time for four months in the Pinal county jail. The petition asking for the pardon was signed by the dis trict attorney and numerous citizens of that county, who set forth first that the man had bee nunished enough and secondly that he was a cripple and had a large family depending on him for support.
 This case was one, and perhaps the only, case in Arizona where a man did time for violation of a local op- tiOn law. There are not many local option districts in Arizona, and the

few that do exist are either respected or resisted in court so stronIy that the alleged violatOrs have escaped final conviction.
 One of these districts includes the town of Dudleyville in Pinal county. where Manuel Mazon sold whiskey. The fact was proved and he was sen fenced to thirty days in jail and to pay a fine of $500. He went to jail but had no money to pay the fine with, so he undertook the serving of his fine at S1 per day and board. He worked out the jail sentence and three months on the fine sentence, when the people came to the conclusion that the interests of justice would be better served by iberating the man sO he could support himself and family.

making his bid he had their previous rejected bids
as basis which to figure The lowest of the
former bids it was understood generally, COntem
plated profit of hundred per cent. So Martin
cut this profit exactly in two and had the pleasure
of seeing the self-satsfed members of the combine
wake up.
Martin also awakened to the fact that he had been
bidding for trouble and had secured it. He expected
the members of the combine to to him;
but they did not come. Instead he began to hear
inquiries as to how he going to do the work. and
jocuar intimatons that he had put himself in a
serious predicament. Evidently there to be no
scramble for the Job.
"Wel, he said, ''there are Others. :"
Thereupon he put himself in communication with
an outside contractor, and decately suggested that
there was a good thing in the city hall contract.

Martin began to that he had good to

be forced to go to the combine" and make terms,
and that meant that he would get mighty little of the
