The WITNESS FELL DOWN.
CordoVa was tried before Justice John

Mexican had with difficulty got a for
tune Of 81 together and he left it in the
charge of an old woman in the west
ern part of town. The Mexican lived
IN the country. He charged that on
Monday CordOva secured possession Of
the money by = representation that
another Mexican woman was i'll and
needed it for medicine. The witness
became confused at the trial and said

was committed to Jail for eight DAYS.
He had already been locked up two
days
HE WAS A HOLY SHOW-A citizen
of this town made a spectacle of him
self at the Tempe river crossing on
Monday. He and his wife were return
ing from Tempe in buggy. Midway
in the ford the horse refused to go any
forther, or, rather, to pull the buggy
any farther. When the citizen had
satisfied himself that neither persua-
sion nor blows would urge the animal
for ward. he managed to disengage him
from the buggy, put his wife on him
and send him to the north shore. Then
the citizen proceeded to divest himself
of his clothing, every stitch of which
came off, and was safely stored in the
buggy. The citizen then put himself
between the shafts and took upon HIM
self the burden of the horse, and with
prodigious effort managed to pull the
buggy ashore. In the meantime the
wife and the horse stood on the bank
laughing at him. Their merriment was
helped along by the passengers of
train which crossed the bridge during
the progress of this ordeal.

right side of the street, so that one
desiring to pass should turn to the left
This inquiry was prompted by the cir
cumstance that the evening before a
young man passing her buggy turned
to the Iis1t -vhen there was barely
room between her buggy and the curb
stone. and in consequence one Of the
wheels of her vehicle was nearly torn
off. The rights of the road in this
country are generally built upon prac-
tice, and the practice is for persons
meeting to turn to the right. Some
states have recognized this practice by
legislation. In many of the larger cit
les there is legislation on the subject,
and it IS required that persons in pass
ing must turn to the left. The Eng
fish practice is more sensible than that
of this country In meeting, drivers
turn TO the left, for the driver, sitting,
