DOUGLAS, May g. - (Special.)-
 An interesting land contest case was heard yesterday morning before Act ing United States Commissioner James B. Speed. The land in question was the finely improved ranch of Joe Kotz, three miles up the valley from Doug las, and the man w1o apparently de sired it worse than Joe was Clayton J. Blakely, recent arrival in the city
 The attorneys for Blakely were Wright & Bartlett but before all oi the evidence was in, the attorneys moved that the case be dismissed KotZ's attorneys were Richardson & Lockwood.
 Blakely's only claim 70 the ranch, which, by the way, is a fine one, about $500 having bee nexpCuced on it Tor improvements during rle past three years, was that Kotz had registered previous to the city election last month. He stated that he had visited the ranch but two times; the first time last September, when he saw nc one on the premises and the last time in December, when, he declares he saw no one there, although the place showed signs CS recenc occu pency.
 Dr. Ynclan, Spanish physician was the principal witness for the con testant He testified that Kotz lives in Ragtown, and that he never did have residence on the ranch. Here is where the uDdercuTTent comes to the surface. Several months ago Joe who, by the way. is an Italian with a Mexican wife, had little trouble with the aged doctor, and each had the other arrested on territorial com piaints Both cases were dismissed but it is alleged that the doctor threat ened to get even with Joe, but the Neapolitan still has his rancn and his wife, and the doctor will have to adopt other means of getting the bulge on Joe

JOE DILLON TALKS
 ABOUT YAVAPAI MINES

DOUGLAS, May g. - (Special.l-
 Among the delegates who arrived in the city last night to attend the sessions of the grand lodge of the Knights of Pythias was Hon. Joseph Dillon, of Prescott. MT. Dillon Is an old member of the order and has at tended many of the grand lodges in the past. He is well known through out the territory, and at present holds the position of secretary of the terri torial democratic committee, and has a thorough knowledge of the politics of the territory. In the last legisia- ture he held the position of chief clerk of the house.
 Mir. Dillon says that northern Arl- zona is enjoying unusual prosperity. The rains of the past year put the cat tlemen in fine shape. and the ranges are yet all that could be desired. The sheepmen are equally prosperous, and the high price of the spring wool clip has made them unusually so.
 Prescott, the metropolis of the north" said Mir. Dillon, "can point to a steady growth during the past year, and it is now more beautiful and more substantial than ever before. Tribu- tary to Prescott are a great many small producing mines, and these are more active this year than ever be- fore. Money is easy for mineral de- velopment, and many new proposi- tions are being undertaken. Our prin- cipal mining town :s Jerome, where copper production continues steadily. In addition to the great enterprise of Senator Clark there are other impOr- tant properties in that district which ort which successful development work is being carried on
 The people of northern Arizona have not yet become agitated over the approaching fall election, but it may be stated with truth that the demo- crats are in good form and will enter the next campaign with confidence. We are all pleased to know that Ari- ona has escaped joint statehood with New Mexico. The people of all sec tions of the territory are bitterly and almost unanimously opposed to joint stateood, and this will be demonstrat- ed beyond doubt should the measure be passed with the proposed ForaRer amendment.

 When I left home there was great uneasiness because of rle ser-ous ill., ness of Hon. John c. Herndon. He is probably the best known and most highly respected citizen of northern Arizona He has been seriously i'll | for several months, and it is feared that he will not recover, although he mas visited the best specialists on the | coast.'

DOUGLAS. May g. - Special )--
 Yesterday morning the police oi Agua Prieta arrested a young Mezi- can named Alberto Ruiz. for stabbing another Mexican seven times, but not fatally, the crime occurring two years ago this month. He was locked up in the underground dungeon, which is used as jail for that community.
 Shortly before 4 o'clock last even. ing the officer who was guarding the sail heard shouts and screams from the dungeon, but paid no attention to them, thinking that they were made by some drunks who were taken in that morning. When the officer went down below at o'clock he found Ruiz lying cn the dirt floor unconscious from loss of blood, and he died a few minutes afterward.
 The man had stabbed himself in the neck with a piece of lantern shade, the jagged glass having severed the iugular vein. The floor of the room was literally wet with the blood, and the other inmates of the dungeon were forced to stand up along the walls to keep from becoming bloody.
 Feared kostsrlitzlcy.
 The inmates of the jail stated that 1tuiz SdS overcome Dy Ine rear Inat he would be turned over to Colonel Kosteriitzky for summary execution. and that he preferred killing himself to meeting death at the hands of a rife squad in front of an adobe wall.
 The suicide was tweDty-six years of age, and has been living at Placeri- tas. He thought that his crime of two years ago had been forgotten, So ven lured back to Agua Prieta.
 Murderer Still at Large.
 No trace has been found of Joaquin Bailesteros. the alleged murderer of Juan EscolaEte in Agua Prieta early Sunday morning. It was learned yes ierday that BaIlesteros had not come across the line after killing his man, althCug2 he may have done so since. Fer several hours after the murder the murderer hid under a wagon in a yard across the line, and here his bloodg' dagger and his cCat were fourd
 A visit to his home in Ragtown re- suited in the finding of a pair of trousers which are a mate to the coat found. So that there is little doubt as to the identity of the murderer.
 Escolante, the murdered man, was only twenty-two years of age, and has a sister residing in Fronteras.
