 Clerk Howe of the Board of Super visors has received the report of Public Examiner Foster covering the examination of the clerk of the dis trict courts office. The report states that in the list of charges made by the clerk that there have been over charges to the amount of about 5000 As in other reports filed by Foster he attempts to interpret the law covering the charges when the courts have held that the charges made were le- gal. In a number of instances the charge as made by Foster as an over charge has already been decided in the district court here as legal one, the matter coming up before Judge Doan when one of the fee bills of Clerk Wilcox was held up by the Board of Supervisors and the matter taken before the court to settle the le- gality of the charges. In other items marked excessive by him the statutes are very plain and allow the fee charg- ed The general opinion of this coun- ty of the public examiner is that he is first class accountant but as an interpreter of the law he is d most dismal failure.
 Telephone Company Improvements.
 Manager Hams of the Tombstone Telephone Co. is getting ready to make some extensive improvements in the service of the Tombstone tele- phone line. He intends shortly to build an additional line to Bisbee. that is. to string another set of wires across the country between here and there, suing the same poles. The line to Benson will also be strengthened. In- stead of going to Fairbank and thence dawn the river. the Benson wire will be taken across the country from q point about four miles east of here on the Fairbank line and thence to the Curtis ranch and on in to Benson. lie proposes to make a direct line to Benson and keep the other line for the rural service. A new line will be puilt from Tombstone to Gleeson and then to Pearce which will make the service from here reach nearly all of thS innioi IdHI pidcSS Tn the county. During the past few months lines have been completed to Charlestown and The Boston Mill and connections made with the Adams line from Johnson and Dragoon to Benson so that that sec tlon of the country can be reached Nuh the building of the Consolidated line to Benson to Tucson, arrange nents for which have been completed, it will give service to all of the princi- pal places in the territory
