exaggerated il Il trihe, the thickness
was in reality of a nature to be felt at
once upon entering the door. There
was dust on the ceiling. dust on the
floor dust on the old books lining the
dusty bookshelves, dust on the an
tiques and dust everywhere
Except that his customers were of
those who deive after old articles. sec

When Pedro Surita shot and killed Braulio Medinas near Buckeye on the of October s he thought ac- cording to the statement he made to Deputy Sheriff Chas. Williams. he was doing society a good service. He could not see why the territory shou1c want to hang a man for killing one who ought to be killed.
 The trial of Surita began yesterday morning. The jury was secured by noon and the taking of evidence be- gan with the afternoon session. It was concluded before five o'clock with the testimony of the defendant himself. The arguments will be begun this morning
 The killing of Medinas took place about four miles east of Buckeye Oct. s. Both Medinas and Surita, were drunk as were the three Mexican witnesses of the homicide. All of them agreed that Surita drew a pistol and firing one shot in the air fired a second at Medinas. It took effect in the back of the head and was instantly fatal. All the parties had come up to the place of the tragedy in a wagon belonging to Surita. Immediately after the shoot ing Surita stood off the crowd with his gun and taking a saddle from a burrO which a boy was riding, 1e put it on one of Medinas' horses and rode

RECEIVER STFElE

He Can Dispose of any Part, or all of
 Water Company's Property

Judge Kent yesterday approved an order from the court in New York which had originally appointed Judge Hiram R. Steele receiver for the Ari- zona Water company, permitting the receiver to sell certain property be- longing to the company. The order in fact permits the receiver to sell any or all the proper designated i1 what is known as Schedule A, a list of property which had been mortgaged to the New York Trust company, the ap- plicant in the proceedings for the ap- pointment of receiver. The schedule consists of two series. The first em- braces sixteen tracts of land valued for the purposes of the mortgage at $50,075. The valuation of the tracts is given separately and the order provides that the sales must be for cash at not less than this valuation. The water rights included in this series of the schedule consist of 351 5-S0 Arizona Canal $780, $50; 1-2 Salt River Valley Canal, $3,000: Il Maricapa canal, $44OO; 19 65-S0, Grand canal, $7,925.
 There are twelve tracts of land in the second series valued at S5S,275 and wat CT rights as follows: 4S Grand canal, $19,20 40 51-100 Maricopa canai. s16,- 204; IA Salt River Valley. $17. .6CO Ari- zona canal, $2,0O0. It will be observed

They said that Surita just before the shooting muttered something about somebody saying something about him. The witnesses were asked to whom he was talking They replied that he must have been talking to himself since nobody replied to him.
 . As the killing came at the end of a days debauch which had begun early and had not been permitted to iag, all of the parties connected with it were rather hay about the circumstances except the one of the actual shooting which had been strongly impressed up- on them. From what could be learned, at least that was the story of Surita, Medinas had come to his house early in the morning and brought with him bottle of whisky. They drank that and then Medinas suggested that they go to Buckeye after more. Surita changed his clothes and for some purpose put his revolver in his pocket. Arriving at the nearest saloon Surita bought a bot tie of whisky and from that time oll they kept themselves supplied with strong drink of one kind and another Frcm the time of his arrest until he was lodged in jail Surita told a vari- ety of stories about the killing and his motives which seem to have been va rious. The case will go to the jury soon after noon today.

off. He threatened the other MeXicans with death in case they should follow him. They needed the threat pat in formed some Americans in the vicin- ity. Within two hours Suri-a was in custody.
 The first person he talked to about the killing was Deputy Sheriff Will Hams. He said that he had killed Me dinas because he was a bad man. He said that Medinas had robbed the store at Buckeye and had been sent to the penitentiary. He had been recently discharged and coming back to that part of the country Surita said that he was constantly talking about whipping him. But according to his statement to the deputy sheriff the killing was immediately precipitated by a quarrel between him and Medinas about which could consume the greatest amount of intoxicating liquor It had been the expressed opinion of Surita that he could. Medinas replied that he could drink more if he could get it and add ed that if Surita held a contrary view he was a - -. Thereupon Surita remembered what a bad man Meiinas was and he accordingly rid the earth of him. The quarrel grew out of sev- which is warranted to contain a mur- der. They had made matters worse by mixing beer with it.
 The Mexican witnesses of the kill ing said nothing about the quarrel. At least nothing was said about any az gressiveness on the part of Me-inas.
