I have had many calls of late for 5, 10 AND 20 ACRE TRACTS.

of land near enough to the business center of Phoenix so that a man could do business in the city and live on a small place in the country Having this in view I have purchased so acres lying 3-4 mile west of the fair ground on the Christy road. The ground lays just right for subdividing into 5, 10 and 20 acre tracts and each tract fronting on the CEristy coun- ty roads. The soil is of the richest aIluvial and of the best straw berry land in the valley. With the land there is a water right in the Mar icopa canal and an Independent lateral belonging exclusively to this tract of land, all the way from the canal to the land. I am going to put this tract on the market at $100 to $125 per acre for a short time. This is far below the value of land in this immediate vicinity and I am justified in saying that the surroundings are of the best in the valley. It also has the proximity of the street car to Phoenix. If you want something that will double in value in a year or two. Here is your chance.

CAR SHORTAGE HEARING.
Great Northern Official Says Labor
SHORTAGE Is Important Factor.


Minneapolis Dec. 19.-Railroad Off
cials had an inning today in the car
shortage hearing before Interstate
Commerce Commissioners Lane and
Harlan. George 7. Slade, a son-in-law
of James j. Hill, and general superln-
tendent of the Great Northern road,
frankly admitted that his system was
unable to furnish cars for loading at
all points, He said that the shortage
of labor was one of the most important
factors in the situation.
Weather conditions were also as
signed by Slade as one Of the causes OF
the northwestern freight congestion.
Under close questioning Slade admit
ted the Great Northern alone has 9,462
borrowed cars, while but 6,057 of Its
own cars are in use by other systems.
The Northern Pacific had about 5000
Of it's cars held by other roads, but on
the other hand was using $4,000 cars
which belonged to other systems. Un-
favorable weather conditions and de-
Law in offering business for transporta-
ton were blamed by witness for the
freight congestion rather than any un-
due economy in operation.
II. j. Horn, geneTal LAdHdSeI oL lilo
Northern Pacific, testified that the fail
lre of his road to move crops was due
chiefly to inadequate facilities, and that
these in turn were due to shortage Of
labor. He presented elaborate tables
and diagrams to prove the Northern
Pacific is doing even more than could
he expected of any road in handling
traffic of almost double the density Of
roads running east from Chicago.
James j. Hill, president of the Great
Northern, testified this afternoon.

for Debts Contracted by Boni-Wife
Wins All But Two Suits.

+ Paris, Dec. 19-Madame Gould, for
mer Countess Boni de Castellane, has
been victorious in the suits brought by
creditors and money lenders Y against
her with the object of making her
Jointly responsible with the count.
Thirteen of the fifteen cases were dis
missed today by the court, with costs
taxed against the plaintiffs.
Only in the cases Of two art dealers
did the court express the opinion that
Madame Could should be held respon-
sible, as the objects purchased in these
instances for the most part were still in
her possession. There are still three
cases to be passed upon. They will be
decided December 26.
In dismissing the thirteen suits, the
court held the plaintiffs had failed to
prove the debts we're contracted for the
common benefit of the count and coun-
tess. The latter, the court declared,
had more than fulfilled the obligations
under her marriage contract. During
the period of her welded life she had
retained nothing for. herself, her en-
tire revenue being collected by her hus-
band and employed, according to his
own admission, either for household
expenses or for payment of his per-
sonal debts.

IN any shape or way an excuse or 1uStl-
fication for the atrocious conduct OF the
troops when, in lawless and murderous
spirit, and under cover of night. they
made their attack upon the citizens.
Details of Trouble.
"The attack was made near midnight
on August 13. The following facts as
to this attack are made clear by Ma
jor Blocksom's investigation and have
not been and. in my judgment, can not
be. successfully controverted. From
9 to Is or 20 of the colored soldiers
took part in the attack. They leaped
over the walls from the barracks and
hurried thru the town. They shot at
whomever they saw moving, and they
shot into houses. where they saw
lights. In some of these houses there
were women and children, as the
would-be murderers must have known,
In one house in which there were two
women and five children some ten shots
went thru at a height of about " feet
above the floor. one putting out the
lamp upon the table. The lieutenans
of police of the town heard the firing
and rode toward it. He met the raid
ers, who, as he stated, were about 10
colored soldiers. They instantly start
ed firing upon him. He turned and rode
off, and they continued firing upon him
until they had killed his horse. They
shot him in the right arm Gt was at
forwards amputated above the elbow.)
A number of shots We're also fired a..
two other policemen. The raiders fired
several shots into hotel. some of the
shots being aimed "a guest by vim
dow. They shot into saloon, killing
the bartender and wounding another
man. At the same time other raiders
fired into another house in which wom-
en- and children were sleeping. two of
the shots going thru the mosquito bar
over the bed in which the mistress OF
the house and her two children were
lying. Several other houses We're
struck by bullets. 1t was at night, and
the streets of the town are poorly
lighted, so that none of the individual
raiders were recognized. but the evil
dence of many witnesses of all classes
was conclusive to the effect that the
raiders were negro soldiers. The shat
tered bullets, shells, and clips of the
government rifles, which were found

tive. So are the bullet holes in the

from the fort just at the moment
when the soldiers left it. Not a bullet
hole appears in any of the structures OF
the fort
..The townspeople were completely
surprised by the unproviked and mur-
derous savagery of the attack The
soldiers were the aggressors from start
to finish. They met with no substan-
tial resistance, and one and all who
took part in that raid stand as deliber-
ate murderers who did murder one
man, who tried to murder others, and
who tried to murder women and chill
dren The act was one OF horrible
atrocity. and so far as am aware, un-
parallelsd for infany in the annals OF
the United States army.
