 The first witness to be put on the l stand was Clerk of the Board of Su' | pervisors Howe, who was put on for | the purpose of showing that the town l of Bisbee was incorporated upon peti- | tion filed by the citizens thereof and | the date of the granting of the in corporation papers.
 The next witness was County Re ! corder Hare, who was put on for the
 purpose of introducing the maps on file in the county recorders office showing the streets and alleys of the town.
 The next witness called was Mrs. Jack Evans, who was with the plain tiff at the time of the accident and was walking only few steps behind her when the wall gave way and Mrs. Hargrove went down. She described the condition of the road and how dark il was on, that night. A photo
 graph was handed to her, which she identified as showing the conditions of the things in that immediate-neigh- borhood at the time of the accident or few days thereafter, showing the caYed-in portion of the wall that gave way at the time Mrs. Hargrove had her ankle broken. She gave an ac- count of how she. with the assist
 ance of two other women, managed to
 get the plaintiff from under the debris, | and took her to a small house near the opera house and finally took her to her home, and the next day took her to the home of the witness and there | nursed her for thirty days. She stated that her services were worth the sum of S146 She was given a rigid cross

 Miss Sadie Bradie was the next called. She resided in the yard into
 which the wall caved and described the condition of the wall as it had
 been for several days prior to the date of the accident, showing that it was in a dangerous condition.
 The case will in all probability not be completed before tomorrow, as
 there are a number of witnesses to be examined on the side of the plain tiff yet, and some ten or twelve for l the defense, while the argument of the l case will take up several hours. It is very doubtful if the case will go to the jury before tomorrow noon or
 perhaps later. All points of evidence
 are being stubbornly protested and ob- jections come quick and fast.
