THE SUPREME COURT
 HEARS CONTROVERSY
Between Phoenix 9 Eastern and Ari.
 zOna Eastern Railroads.

The principal matter in the supreme court yesterday was the case of the Phoenix & Eastern railroad against the Arizona Eastern. involving the right of way through Box canyon, east of Dudleyville. The matter came up on an appeal from an order of Judge r. M. Doan granting an injunction against the Phoenix & Eastern from further operations in the disputed ter ritory and from even using that part of the line which it had already con- structed. On a hearing before Judge Kent the Phoenix & Eastern was granted d supersedeas.
 The case was argued yesterday by F. w. Camp. of Los Angeles, for the appellant, and by Eugene s. Ives for the appellee.
 This is only one end of the contro- versy. The other went on in Wash ingtOn, where the maps of both con- testants were filed. Those of the Phoenix d2 Eastern were rejected by the commissioner of the general land office and those or the Arizona East ern were approved.
 The former company appealed to the secretary of the interior, who about six weeks ago reversed the finding of the commissioner and decided in favor of the Phoenix & Eastern, thus finally disposing of the matter at that end of the line.
 The only other case before the court yesterday was tlsat of M. J. Nu gent against J. Stoffela, from Yuma county. A motion to dismiss was de- nied.

 one devoted entirely to his chosen work and not man who sought notor- iety by meddling in affairs that were without his sphere of activity. Both MT. and Mrs. Frambes were for a long time connected with the Phoenix schools, at one time in charge of them and there are many of the younger men and women of the territory to- day who will always feel indebted to this worthy couple for the proper shaping of their young minds for later and successful lives.

FORMER VALLEY MAN
 PECULIARLY AFFLICTED
Wilber s. LunG of U. 5. General Ap-
 praiSerS.

Among the nonresident lana owners of this valley is MT. Wilbur F. Lunt. who is also a director of the Arizona Water company, and was at one time a resident of the valley. There are many Phoenix people, no doubt, who have the pleasure of his personal ac- quaintance and who will be interested in his peculiar physical condition, which is referred to as follows by the ] Washington Post of January 3:
 Ut is possible that the remarkable recovery of Wilbur F. Lunt, of the Board of United States General Ap- praisers, from an attack of paralysis will be made the subject of a paper and discussion at the next meeting of the American Surgical association MT. Lunt was shot in the head forty | one years ago by a Confederate cav alryman. The bullet cut a swath through the crown of his skull and grazed the brain covering. Until last June he enjoyed splendid physical health. Then suddenly his left side
 was paralyzed from his eye to the ex- tremity of his left foot. The whole left side of his body was inert and dead, | including vocal chords and optic nerve. Yesterday MT. Lunt was in his office in the appraisers stores in perfect mental health, and, except for a slight | halt in his walk and a weaker grip in his left hand, his physical condition was almost as good as it was seven months ago.
 "On June last MT. Lunt was strick- en with paralysis. Dr. Frank Wilson and pr. Harrington attended him. | They agreed. that the case was one of the most perfect cases of hemiplegia 1 they had ever seen, and attributed it to the plugging of a blood vessel on the right side of the brain. But when MT. Lunt's history had been learned it was thought possible that the Confed- crate bullet fired forty-one years ago might have driven a splinter into the brain, which until then had not inn peded arterial circulation-a case without precedent. The restoration to a nearly normal condition in so short a time helped to confirm this opinion"

POINT
 FOR FINE HORSES
Branch Stable of the Oak1awn Farm
 May be Located Here.

It is quite probable that there will shortly be established in Phoenix a branch stable for the distribution of blood horses. Percherons French coachers and Belgians, throughout the territory and Mexico. It will be a branch of the fomous Oaklawn farm of Durham & Fletcher, Wayne, Ills. There is now a branch at Woodland, Calif., but that is not near enough to Mexico where the firms business is steadily growing. N. L.. Kilburz, a representa- tive of the firm, is here now and has arranged for the bringing of some of the horses in. MT. Fletcher will be here soon.
 The Oaklawn farm is the greatest breeding and importing establishment in the world and has been in existence for more than forty years. It is the main source of supply in this country for Percheron and French coach horses. There are always not less than 800 of these horses constantly on hand. In addition to the horses imported about 100 colts are bred annually. The Percheron stallions of this farm have won every championship and every first prize offered by the International show at Chicago since 1900.
 MT. Kilburz said last night that the horse business of the country was now better than ever in spite of the bicycle and the automobile, and quoting from a government report he said that the supply of horses in the country is 300 900 short. Prices have also advanced about forty per cent and they will continue to advance until the demand has been met which in the opinion of the census authorities will take about | fifteen years.
