Jndge Sloan Renders
 Some Decisions.
Fashion Stable Mortgage Suit Decided in Favor of Plaintiff Moses Casner Seeks Habeas Cor pus to Get Out of Jail.

Judge R. E. Sloan held a short term of the district court and handed down a number of decisions which had been taken under advisement. The first on the list was that of H. l.. Hall against the Western Union telegraph com pany. This case came into the dis trict court on appeal from the justice court. Hall brought suit against the defendant company for S200 and was awarded sixty cents, just the amount that he paid for the sending of mes sage.
 Viola Stephenson was awarded a judgment against Charles B. Genung for S1, 100 less certain credits which had been allowed on a note given by defendant to the plaintiff.
 P. l.. Kastner was also given judg ment against J. H. Darrah ct al ana foreclosure of mortgage was ordered against all property and business ex- isting at the time said mortgage was given. This is the case involving a mortgage on the Fashion livery stable. It was also decided by the court that where an animal which was included in the mortgage had been disposed of and another purchased in it's place that the mortgage holds on the latter animal.
 In a suit of Thomas Earnhart, where in he attempted to hold the Central Arizona Mines company responsible for supplies furnished a contractor, judgment was given to defendant com pany.
 Another similar action in which P. Eckburg was the plaintiff and Arizona Gold Mining and Milling company ct al were defendants judgment was also given for defendants. Eckburg had worked on the properties, but it was shown that he was aware of the fact that the defendant companies repudi- ated all responsibilities for any debts incurred hence was not entitled to re- cover from them.
 Moses Casner, of Oak creek, was be- fore the court on habeas corpus pro ceedings and his case was partially heard and postponed for further hear ing next Saturday. It is alleged that Moses used dangerous weapons to drive his family away from home; that he was arrested and tried before a justice of the peace, found guilty and sentenced to pay fine of S200 or serve 200 days in the county jail. Not having that amount of money he was brought to jail to serve his sentence and instituted the habeas corpus pro- ceedings.

 Official information from Russian headquarters in the field supplement- ed by dispatches from the associated press correspondents with the Russian army show that Kuropatkin after sui fering from the most severe defeat of war succeeded as be did after the bat tie of Liao Yang in extrieating rem nants of his army from a position which military experts twenty four hours before believed would result in its annihilation or surrender.
 The retreat from Liao Yang had been considered masterly event, but it is far oveIshadowed by this latest of the general who has taken per sonal command of the troops.
 After fighting nearly three weeks, losing in killed, wounded and missing probably one third of his army, or nearly one hundred thousand men and one fourth of his artillery, Kuropatkin gathered what was left together north of Mukden and is taking them toward Tie pass through a rain of shrapnel, which is being thrown from both left and right. He seems to have been able to accomplish this by resorting to the same tactics which saved his army at Liao Yang. As recently as Thursday last, he commenced sending his artil lery north by railroad. That night he destroyed ty fire what could not be removed. Even hospitals containing the more seriously wounded were left benin so as not to hamper the move ment of the army. This movement commenced Friday morning and as the forces on the east which were to join hands with the western army and cut off the retreat did not cross the Fushung- Mukden road until Saturday morning the Russians had full days start of their pursurers and having no guns or baggage to delay them, seem to have made good their escape. There is still, however, a chance of Gen. Kawamura's army taking hand in the battle and should they strike the Russians at Tie pass or cut their com munications to the northward, the di- saster to Kuropatkin's orce fine army will be complete.
 The shrapnel fire under which the Russians again retreated was found not to have a very serious effect as the

 NEW YORK, March H. Realizing that their fight against the interbor- ough company has been lost, the old employees of the subway and elevated railways today crowded the offices Of the company seeking their former positions.
 Some three thousand men applied for reinstatement but not more than five hundred were accepted, the otfic- ials claiming to be satisfied with the men who had enabled them to break the strike and announcing that in the future rules as to sobriety would be more strictly adhered to. All appli- cants were notified that they would have to pass a physical examination and go to work as new men, which means that those who went on the strike would lose their seniority and increased pay, that they had won for lengthy servIce.

The town of Ouray is most pictures uuely situated. This beautiful region of massive and vari-colored mount aims, tinted in autumn with all the blends of quaking aspen and mountain spruce, we'll deserves its local appella- tion.

GONE TO HER REWARD.
Death of Mrs. Amy Block on
 Wednesday.

The news Un Wednesday morning which passed from one person to an- i other that Mrs. Ed Block was dead, came as great shock to the commu- nifty which had been ignorant even of her illness. Her death occurred about ten minutes past o'clock, pneumo- mia being the cause of death. | She was taken ill about ten days ago with pain in her side which she at tributed to pleurisy and did not give it any serious attention, thinking it would pass away in short time. She was able to be up and and around un- til Saturday or Sunday, when it be- came apparent that her ailment was more serious than she thought and medical assistance was secured and everything that medical skill could suggest, was done for her with the most careful nursing, but in spite of it all the progress of the disease could not be checked and on Wednesday morning her pure spirit took its flight from its earthly environments t. the beyond where pain and suffering are
 unknown.
 Mrs. Block was a most estimable woman, of quiet and modest demean- or, devoted to her husband and family ard they to her, an ideal mother, and affectionate wife. She had resided. with her husband and family here for nearly ten years, coming here from Buena Vista, Colorado, where the cou- pie were married over twenty years ago. She was a native of Kenney, Illinois, but had resided during the greater portion of her life in the far west.
 Besides her husband, she leaves three children, Gary aged eighteen years, Beth aged twelve, and Harold, eighteen months old. The former is attending the Colorado state school of mines at Golden, Colorado, and he was notified by wire yesterday of his loss, the greatest, that he can ever experience in this world.
 The sudden demise of his con- panion for years, a companion to whom he was so devotedly attached, | comes as a most serious blow to MT. | Block and while he can feel that he | has the sympathy of the entire con- munity, human sympathy under such bereavement, appreciated as greatly as it may be, seems like hollow mock cry to the aching void in the human heart of the bereaved.
 The funeral will be held from the family residence under the direction of H. M. Maus & Co.,, ,on Friday after noon at o'clock.

The Anxious Seat
 Concerning War.
Uncertainty and Suspense Exper- fenced on Account of the Ab- sence of Definite Information From Kurcpatkin.
By Associated Press.

. PARIS, March 1.-The govern ment's advices from St. Petersburg say that the most profound anxiety prevails Tn the highest quarters there, concerning the desperate nature of the situation in MsGchuria. Russian military and political quarters are practically cut off from all details, except those contained in the dis patches published in the American, British and French press.
 The absence of offiicsl information has heightened the anxiety to an in tense pitch and gives rise to sinister forebodings concerning Kuropatkin's s ability to extricate his army from it's preilous position. French officials are inclined to believe that the struggle will continue three or four days long CT before the results are attained which may prove decisive upon the whole war.

The Season Occurred
 Last Night.
Telegraph Communication With inc Outside World Completely BrOk- en and Telephone and Electric Light Wires Down.

Arizona made an entirely new record for rain during January and February and at the present writing at mid night, March gives promise of re- cord for snow.
 As result of the storm the Journal Miner is without its associated press report this morning. About S:3O o'clock the ~ire forming the loop be- tween the Journal Miner office and Western Union telegraph office went down under the weight of snow, breaking the direct connection with this office.
 At 10 o'clock the operator at the Western Union office telephoned that the wire into that office was out of commission.
 At this time the Postal wires were still working and request was for warded to the associated press at Los Angeles asking that the report be sent over the Postal lines, but little after L o'clock. while a reply to this re- quest was being sent, communication was broken and the operators of both offices remained until II 30 o'clock, but without being able to work either line.
 Telpehone wires vent down in every direction and large number of in struments were out of commission be- fore midnight.
 About II 30 the street lights were all put out of commission either through broken wires or through a precaution on the part of the com pany to prevent accident. A heavy wire, apparently large electric light wire broke in front of the Journal Miner office, and hung down to the sidewalk, but having more discretion than curiosity to learn what sort of wire it was, the scribe did not investi- gate.
 Earlier in the evening a string of wires went down across the street in front of the Lawler block and stopped traffic on the street for time until the tangled wires were cut and remov- ed.
 At midnight the snow was still fal- ling with no indications of clearing up. and the temperature was about four degrees above the freezing point.
 The writing of this item is done with fear and trembling lest the wires from which the office obtains it's light and power may be the next to join the broken ones, in which event, this item will not be read, as no paper can be issued from the office.
 The hack which usually runs all night for the accommodation of belat- ed citizens went to the barn about midnight on account of the danger of getting into broken wires in the dark.

As the Governor of
 Arizona.
Ceremony Took Place in Legislative Hall. and Was Witnessed By Members and Large Number Cf Visitors.

Gov. Joseph II. Kibbey was induct- ed into office on Tuesday afternoon. His commission arrived Tn the morn ing and preparations were at once be- gun for the inauguration ceremonies. The custom of administering the oath of office in the executive chambers was departed from and the ceremony took place in the lower house of the legislature says the Republican. Hon. Watson Pickrell at the afternoon ses- sion after arrangements had been made for the administration of the oath at o'clock offered motion for a request that the ceremony be per formed in the house in the presence of the members of that body and the council. The motion was adopted and also one requesting the attendance of the members of the council.
 Shortly after o'clock all legislative business was suspended and the mem bers of the council appeared. Presi dent Hunt took the place of Speaker Webb and appointed the following committee to wait on Gov. Kibbey and escort him to the chamber: Messrs. Pickrell and Bailey of the house and Rice of the council. In the meantime the galleries were filled notwithstand- ing there had been so little time for the announcement of the ceremonies. Nor was there more than standing room on the floor of the house.
 Promptly at o'clock the governor appeared accompanied by Chief Jus tice Kent, who was to administer the oath, Acting Gov. Nichols and several other territorial officials.
 The assembled crowd on the floor and in the galleries stood as the gover- nor entered and remained standing until he and his companions had tax eu their seats. The acting governor sat on the left of President Hunt and on his left sat Speaker Webb. The chief justice occupied a seat on the right of the president and on his right sat the governor.
 The mother of the governor. Mrs. Kibbey, Mrs. Joseph Sherbrune Jen- ckes, daughter of the governor, and MT. and Mrs. Walter B. Kibbey, were assigned places near him.
 The chief justice produced the com
 har m V proceeded to the administration of the oath. Having completed that form he presented the commission to the governor and congratulated him on his accession to the office. He added that he had the good will of the peo pie of the whole territory and he predicted that his administration would be a wise and just one.
 The chief justice added that perhaps no governor of the territory had ever taken his seat with so unanimous an approval by the people.
 The governor spoke briefly and feel ingly. He said he was fully apprecia- tive of the good words which had come to him from all parts of the territory since his nomination to office.
 Governor Kibbey has appointed Sims Ely as his private secretary. Mr. Ely acted in the same ca pacity for Governor N. O. Murphy. He is a very capable man. Since the retiring of Governor Murphy Mir. Ely has been the eidtor of the Phoe- nix Republican.

All dis patches indicate that a part of his force has been cut off, Gen. KaulhaTs seems to have extricated his corps, likewise Bilderling, not so Linevitch. The associated press correspondent says the Japa nese surrounded the first and fourth Russian ccrps and that
 help could not be sent them. Their fate is not recorded but the inferencs is that they suffered either defeat or capture. Rennekampf's fate is alss still in doubt. The Russian govern ment and people are as determined a ever to continue the war.
 TIE PASS. March Il, p. n. -F'cr many versts all approaches to Tie pass are covered with troops, artillery and baggage transports, pressing DOrts- ward, and twenty five miles away is strong rear guard of troops, which Is commanded by General Kuropatkin, who is retiring slowly and doggedIJ disputing with the pursuing enemy every foot of ground in order to cover the retreat of the rear of his army The losses by this defeat. which is the most bitter yet experienced by the Russian army, by moderate coupGta- tion, is not less than 300, GOO for both sides. The Russians in addition have sacrificed enormous quantities of mu- nitions and stores, the greater part of which were set on fire before leaving Mukdep.
 It is impossible to predict the Rus sians will be able to put up fight and hold this position, or whether it will be necessary to continue the re- treat to Harbin, but the rank and file whose military qualities have never shown so brightly as in retreat or de feat, are far from being panic stricken and under capable leadership and even a Erief time to strengthen their posi- tions may be able to check their pur- suing enemy at this point. The cause of the Mukden defeat is attributed to many reasons, one of the most impor- tant of which is insufficient iDferma- tion, concerning the Japanese and their strength, which was far in excess of the Russian calculations.
