 THE OUTLOOK FAVORABLE
 Judge Kibbey yesterday received a ] telegram from B. X. Fowler who is now ! in Washington. asking for information concerning certain details involved in j the negotiations between the govern Iuent and the Arizona Water company, , regarding the purchase of the latte~ ! cOmpany's holdings. From this incl
 dent sprang q rumor to the effect that
 MT. Fowler had wired information of
 the acceptance of the government g
 offer by Judge Steele. receiver of the
 Water company. MT. Fowlers mes
 sage carried no such statement though
 it stated that everything was progress
 ing nicely from which the inference
 might readily be drawn that the feeling
 in Washington was that Judge Steele
 would accept. and that of course is
 the general feeling here and has been
 for a long time. But to quiet the re-
 port and learn the exact facts, C. J.
 Hall, Judge Steele's representative
 here, wired him asking if his accept
 ance had been announced and received
 promptly in reply a message to the eff
 feet that it had not.
