Strong Case in
FOnda'S Court

A celebrated case in which Dan
Sparks of Stafford was plaintiff and
J. S. Russell of Globe was defend
ant aud involving the title to sew
eral thousand young onions was
threshed out in Judge Fonda's
court Wednesday. Attorney A.
r. Lynch appeared for the plain
tiff and Attorney Wiley Jones for
the defendant. Mr.. Jones made
an address worthy Of Bombastes
Furioso himself in which he stated
that there are no onions IN Arizona
they are "ingans"; furthermore,
onions spring from bulbs, and
bulbs cannot be sued; and if those
ingans are not strong enough to
fight their own case the opposite
party should be made to eat them,
Judge Fonda divided the value of
the onions and costs of court be-
tween the parties to the suit, and
all went their ways rejoicing.

our BID FOR BUSINESS

There are some merchants who,
when they want any printing done,
go to all the printing offices and
compel them to bid on the same,
others send out of the county for
theirs. This paper has always ad'
vocated trading with your nome
merchant, and does so yet, al
though the class of merchants re-
ferred to above does not deserve
home patronage. For this class of
merchants we have devised the fol-
lowing plan, which we advise all
to follow: On Monday next we
will receive sealed bids for the fol-
lowing articles; "One pair ofhob.
nailed shoes for the editor, also
one pair of cotton socks and plug
of tobacco. The devil wants in
the same bid one cheap shirt, a
straw hat, some gum, one pair of
suspenders and pair of overalls.
Also ten yards of calico, black and
white striped, for Sunday dress
for the editors wife and three kids,
together with four sun bonnets,
three large and one small one"
Bids on the above must be signed
and turned into this Office not later
than 10 a, m. Monday, August 9th.
In the same bid you may include
6 towels, very large and coarse, to
be delivered and paid for on jan
uary l, 1908, as the three we
bought two years ago recently fell
over and broke in two. Of course
the lowest bidder will get the con.
tract on these articles, provided
he is as low as the factory price.
If he is not, then we will send to
the factory for our goods, and ex.
pect, unless these merchants
change their tactics, to organize
clubs throughout the different
communities, to do the same thing
