came such nuisances that Marshal Burton yesterday morning ordered them out of town. A good portion of them were cripples, and they used their deformities and afflictions as a stock in trade. There are men in Mesa probably worse crippled than any of the beggars appearing here, who ar@ making an honest living and support ing large families at the same time. There is plenty of work that these men can do if they have the inclination and they should be given to understand this as soon as possible. These crip- pies who go in gangs from one town to the other are the worst drunk and disorderiy characters that the polics have to deal with. They nearly always resist arrest and seem to think that they are immune from the police on account of their disability.
 John Allen. who came from the cap tial town. after receiving the notice from Marshal Burton, to move out, re- fused to do so and was arrested later for being drunk and disorderly. The man refused to go to jail and it was necessary to choke him into submis- sion before anything could be done with him. He was sent below for twelve days.

The building has been put up as a medium priced rooming house and if there seems to be sufficient demand, a boarding house will be established in connection as there is a good sized dining room and kitchen which will be completely fur nished.
 Mir. Hagan says in his letter that he will rush the matter of furnishing the house as fast as possible and hopes ln have it ready for occupancy in a few weeks at the most.

MESA
PURE FOOD LAW IN EFFECT.
Local Dealers Notified Through Var
 ious Jobbers of its Significance.

The pure food law which was pass ed at the last session of congress went into effect on January 1 and affects the local dealers of Mesa as well as every other retailer of groceries, drugs or liquors in the territory. It be- hooves evey dealer handling any of the atcles coming under the head of the pure food law to look over his shelves and see that his stock is prop erly labeled before offering his goods to the public. A few of the local deal CTS have been notified of the lav through their jobbers but some or them have not been appraised of it at all and do not seem to understand its significance. It is generally under stood that the spirit Of the law is that all articles coming under the head Of the pure food law must be labeled and that the law means that all articles H. stock as well as new goods must be plainly marked so that the buyers thereof may know exactly what they are purchasing.
 It was the belief here that the ar ticles on hand could be disposed of without a label but from the decision of the secretary of agriculture. dealers in territories are placed upon differ ent footing than those in the states.
 Under this ruling every Arizona dealer in groceries. drugs or liquors. who offers any article for sale that comes under the pure food law, unless the same is properly labeled. is subject to a fine Of S2OO for the first offense and for each subsequent offense a fine of $500 or by imprisonment not ex ceeding one year. or by both, in the discretion of the court.
 To be on the safe side it might be well for the dealers in the articles coming under the pure food law to lay aside such articles and await the instructions from the department of agriculture regarding the proper lab cling of the same before offering them for sale.

Tn , heavy rains were followed with snow which extended down as far as ROose % welt and keeps the river at the flOoJ stage and may continue to do so for some time. The contractors in charga are several weeks behind with their work and the recent providential hin- drance will make it necessary that the work be rushed as soon as activity be- gins in the spring.
 The work at Granite Reef is not in the least delayed by the high waters. The trolley line which is on high ground will now be rushed to comple- tion as a part of the material for the line and several cars arrived yester- day. Preparations have been going on for some time which will make thu line building short work.
 Parties are going from here to Su- perior, fifty miles east, nearly every day and they are unanimous in their reports that the place will soon be ,t prosperous mining community.

DEATH OF LEIGH c. RANSOM
A Young Man Who Made Many
 Frie-ds in Tempe.

Leigh C. Ransom who came to Tempe several years ago with a bro- ther of Mrs. E. l.. Threw and spent a year or more here died at his home a few days before Christmas. While in Tempe he made a great many friends who will regret to learn of his death.
 A New York paper of recent date gives the following account of his last illness:
 Leigh Collins Ransom. son of Dr. J. R. Ransom. physician at Clinton prison. died yesterday morning at o'clock at his home in Dannemora, after an illness lasting about five yeaSs. After the yOnug mans grad uation from the Pittsburg high school he entered Cornell University and it was during the epidemic of typhoid fever there that he was stricken with the disease.
 He hurried to his home in Dannem- ora. and for weeks lowered between life and death but finally medical skill and nursing won the battle and he ap- parently began to recover slowly. It was during his convalescence that
  he has made a brave and patient fight for life. During the past few weeks his friends were encouraged by signs of increased strength. but he suddenly took a turn for the worst about a week ago and failed rapidly until the end came yesterday. He was a bright lovable young man and had large number of friends in Plattsburg and elsewhere who will sincerely mourn his death and deeply sympathize with pr. Ransom in the loss of his eldest son. The funeral will be held at Dan nemora at 9 o'clock Monday morning and the remains brought to Plattsburg on the II o'clock train to be placed Tn the vault until spring.
