TOO MUCH BRUTALITY NOW

Police Hyden OF this city. who has
been attending convention OF chiefs
OF police at Hot Springs. Ark. SAYS
some OF the chiefs favor the whipping
post for wife heaters and wife de-
serters. Wouldn't & be more profes-
sional to introduce clubbing for those
offenses? There is an impression
among thoughtful people that there
is brutality enough in American so
ciety at present without oficializing
IL. Chief Hyden himself SAYS that
he was not in favor OF reviving the
whipping post. though there are cas-
es in which a thorough unofficial
logging would AFFORD some satisfaC-
ton TO those who are conversant with
the facts. However. IL wouldn't do
TO indulge in these brutal methods
of punishment unless we want to
make the culprits tenfold worse than
they are now. and at the same time
debase and harden all officers who
have anything to do with the mis-
cradle business Down i'm Texas the

LOST EYESICHT Through Coffee Drinking

and they have been caused by whisky or tobacco. Leach has never used either, but has been a great coffee drinker, and the specialists have de- cided that the case has been caused by this. Leach stated himself that for several years he had drank three cups of coffee for breakfast, two at noon and one at night. According to the records of the specialists of this coun- try, this is the first case ever caused by the use of coffee.
 The nerve is ruined beyond aid and his case is incurable. The fact that makes the case a queer one is that the sight forward has been lost, and the side light has been retained.

Some people question the statements that coffee hurts the delicate nerves of the body. Personal experience with thousands prove the general statement true and physicians have records of great numbers of cases that add to the testimony.

Leach of Beach county, and in the last four months he has doctored with all the specialists about the country and has at last returned home with the fact impressed on his mind that his case is incurable.
 A portion of the optic nerve has been ruined. rendering his sight so limited that he is unable to see anything be- fore him, but he can see plainly any thing at the side of him. There have been but few cases of its kind before

THE WICKENBURG
 p. 0. ROBBERY
The Hearing OC Paul Wilson Will
 Take Place Today.

Paul L. Wilson was arrested at Wickenburg. yesterday afternoon by Deputy United States Marshal Walter Gregory on the charge of rObbing the postoffice at that point. He was talk en in custody last Saturday by the county officials and was held by them when the deputy arrived in Wicken> burg. He was brought to this city on the daylight express and will this morning be examined before United States Court Commissioner C.. w. Jonnstone.
 Wilson refused to discuss his case further than to say he had little doubt that he would be turned loose after his hearing today. Neil M. Aldred, a Prescott attorney, accompanied the of ficer and Wilson to the city yesterday and will this morning look after his interests at the examination. He, too, refused to discuss the case but said a mistake had been made by the off cers.
 On the other hand the officers who had charge of the case feel confident that Wilson will be bound over. They have several interesting pieces of evil dence which they will introduce at the hearing which though largely circum- stantial, make a very strong case At the time the robbery was committed the thief overlooked fro $40 to $50 which was in the money order cash box. In the registered mail pouch from which a package was taken there were several other very important packages left undisturbed.
 In the attempt to fasten the crime on Wilson his nome was searched yes terday but nothing of importance was discovered. Wilson's father claims that the money found on his sons per son at the time of his arrest and the money he used to pay a large number of bills the day following the discov- cry of the robbery he himself had giv- en him as a birthday present. The fact that he had but recently had a considerable sum of money at his dis posal was considered a strong point against him.
 Wilson at one time was in the em- ploy of the government in the postal service at Fl Paso and at the present time has a sister who resides there.

INDIRECT PRESSURE
 ON !C0NGRESSMEN
Constituents More Effective than the
 Party Lash.

The Republican yesterday received letter from a gentleman in Washing ton connected with official life He spent a short time in Arizona and be- came so much interested in the terri tory that he is opposed to the joint statehood bill. He points out the fol- lowing plan of campaign against the measure and shows how it worked on another occasion:
 To the Editor of the Republican:
 Sir-A man long familiar with con- gress and the methods of getting a measure through that body, remarked the other day that it was of little use to try to convince congressman of a thing. A quicker and surer way was to convince their constituents.
 The story is told of the means used by a bureau chief some years ago to get favorable action upon a certain bill relative to his office.
 The committee report on it was ad- verse, the chairman being it's strong est antagonist. At an appointed time the chairman was to present his report to the senate. The day before our bureau chief teIegrapned to fifty influ- ential men in various parts of the country asking them to wire each his senator a request for favorable action on the bill, the telegrams to the sena-

THE TICK OF A WATCH
 AROUND THE WORLD
On the Lonely Desert and Fields of
 Battle.

A story was printed some time ago about the finding of a watch near a pile of unidentified human bones on the desert beyond Mesa. The watch had lain there for months and was covered with rust and dirt. Yet when it was picked up the movement set it in motion and it ticked faintly and then stopped for it had run down. It was brought with other articles in the vicinity, evidently the property of the dead man, to Justice Burnett, who, finding the watch to have been made by the Ansonia Clock company of An sonia, Conn.,, took some pains with it for he, himself, had lived in Ansonia when ne was a boy. He wound the watch and it started running merrily and kept good time. Finally he sent the watch to the makers with a his tory of it's discovery and declared it to be further proof that whatever, man or watch that comes from Ansonia is all right.
 Yesterday he received the following reply from the clock company: Your

tors to be sent to them at the senate chamber at a certain hour on the eventful day. When that hour arrived the bureau chief went to the senate gallery and waited.
 The chairman rose in his place, bill in hand. "The objections to this bill are so-andso'-at this point he was handed a telegram which he read. Then without a culver of the eyelid he resumed but the objections are those of persons who have not studied the matter" ending in a complete de- fense of a measure he had risen to re- port adversely. The complacent chief looking down the gallery had the pleas ure of seeing the answers to his fifty telegrams all brought in and realized that eacn was a shot that brought down a man. The bill passed.
 There is but one thing that a con- gressman fears more than the party whip and that is the prickings of his constituency.
 Now the majority of the people of Arizona are from the states their old ties are still close; their former Ioca- tions have not yet forgotten them. Let them enlist all their former friends. relatives, newspapers, ministers and teachers to prick, prick, prick their representatives. It may seem absurd to say that a few letters could alter a cOngressman's conviction, but it has done so many times before, especially if there are letters enough.
 You in Arizona do not realize the determination here in the east to keep down western representation. This is the great motive for forcing joint statehood.
 Again large class lof conservatives fear the Mormon vote in Arizona and New Mexico. This is the basis of many church arguments against single statehood. Could the Mormon menace be satisfactorily disposed of, one ele- ment of opposition would be with drawn
 The anti-jointure delegation has ar rived in town and much space has been given them in the local papers. Their appearance on the scene is time ly as the political atmosphere is charged with revolt against some of the presidents favorite measures, and it is the psychological moment for those inter-cong gressionaI bargains which are necessary to legislation.

kind and interesting letter of January nas been received and we have to thank you very much for the same. It may interest you to know that we have had similar letters from the South Af- rican battlefields as well as from the scenes of our own war in Cuba, all bearing testimony as to the quality of Ansonia goods"
 The letter added that the letter of Judge Burnett would be put away amongl the archives of the company and he was further informed that there had been mailed to him a new watch of the same durable kind.
 The watch came in the same mail and the judge acknowledged the re- ceipt of it and the letter as follows:
 Your favor of the 11th inst. came to hand this morning. It does not surprise me to hear from you that your watches have earned credit for endur- ance on fields of battle. I am inclined to believe that if one of them was ali shot to pieces some parts of it would still be running and keeping good time." He further said that he would take pleasure in making known its good points to the community at large.

YUMA REALTY DEAL
 IN SUPREME COURT
A Rather Complicated Case Presented
 Yesterday.

The only case before the supreme court yesterday was that of M. J. Nu- gent, appellant against J. Stoffela ap- pellee, from Yuma county. The mat ter was presented to the court by E. $. Ives for the appellant and by Chas. Blenman, of Tucson and Thomas Armstrong, Jr., for the appellee. The suit which involves $15,70O, presents some interesting points and had it's origin mainly in the appellee's ignor- ance of the law. He was the holder of a mortgage for $15,70O on certain property owned by a Mrs. Heyl and desired to secure the property under the mortgage. Shortly before the expi- ration of the mortgage, Mrs. Heyl ar ranged with the appellant to take up the mortgage and pay the taxes which amounted to $500.
 She gave him deed, Mrs. Heyl be- ing given the privilege of redeeming the property within three years. With the deed in his possession the appel lant offered the appellee a check for the amount Of his mortgage but Stof-

fela, who had his eye on the property, refused to accept it on the ground that 1t was not certified. Then he made another arrangement with Mrs. Heyl by which he was to satisfy the mortgage by acceping one of two pieces of the mortgaged property and take a mortgage for s5,700 on the other This arrangement was carried out and StOffela hastened to record his deed and then cancelled the orig inal mortgage. Suit was brought by Nugent to quiet title and he was giv- en judgment, it being held that the deed of -Stoffela was invalid though it had been the first recorded.
 It was established that he had no- tice of the deed which Nugent held. The courr ruled that Nugent though should satisfy the original mortgage of Stoffela according to the first arrangement and that Stoffela by having mixed things up thus by his awkwar'lne ess should pay the costs and Nugents attorneys fees. Nugent took an appeal on the ground that this not being a case in equity the court was without statutory authority to impose any condition in the quieting of his title.

FRANKuNCOUNTY WHEAT UM|MJURED
Prominent Farmers Of Light Soil Dis
trict Say Cold Snap Did No
Damage to Fall Grain.

CONNELL, March 24.-The day after
the recent wind storm and cold snap
that swept the entire eastern states on
the east, many of the farmers here
about feared serious damage to the
wheat crop. They believed, reseeding
would be necessary. Today however, a
widely different opinion prevails. What
was at first thought to be a serious
damage is turning out, with the COM
ing of warmer weather to be, instead,
very slight. None Of the large farm
ers in the eastern and southern por-
tons of this county, so far as the
writer has been able to learn, will re-
seed except in patches. Messrs. E. I.
Juvenal and P. Dunnigan, two of the
most extensive farmers in this vicinity,
express great faith in the ultimate re-
suits of the fall seeding.
