VETERAN CANAL MAN QUITS
 SERVICE
After Riding the Ditch More Than Sixteen Years McDer- mott Decides It Is Time to Take a Rest
lPhoenix Repnblicanl

After keeping his eye on the gun for sixteen years and half, Dan Mo Dermott yesterday severed his official connection with the canal service of this valley and retired to private lire an honored and respected citizen. Some people point with pride to long career of effort which finally lands them in some official position, but Mir. McDermott has done a mighty good job to handle water for sixteen years, and retire to say nothing of still having friends who respect him. and he has host of them. It is quite likely he has some enemies too but If he didn't have few he would have been a mighty poor water man, too poor a one to have ever held on six teen years and half.
 There is no intention now of re- viewing .n detail the water troubles of the past. The ghost has been laid. it is believed for all time, but it is quite creditable to MT. McDermott to note that of the army officials who have been engaged during the last ten or fifteen years in making water for 50.000 acres wet up 100000 acres and keep them wet. hh Is one of the few who have lived oagh the job and got out with a whole hide and a creditable record. Frank Trott is an- other. but he had the whole judicial establishment of the territory behind him and even at that he lost some sleer.
 Mir. McDermott began in an humble capacity with the Arizona Canal com pany so long ago nobody remembers just what it was, and cares less, though if memory serves 1t was a zanjero. Time rolled along until the Arizona Canal Go. found more trouble on It's hands that DeLesseps had with his Panama ditch. and finally sent w B. Cleary out here to do things. He made a good stab but had to have help and Mir. McDeTmott was made superintendent Finally MT. Cleary got tired and moved to Bisbee and Mir. McDermott was left to face the music. He held the fort until the government acquired the canal sys- tenn and took MT. McDermott over with it. Since then he has continued in similar capacity under the direc 1 ton of the government engineers un
 til the present time. but he has de
 cided now that it ss time for him tc
 cut loose and enjoy in private life some of the properity he has been | trying to help bring about.
 During all these years he has beer
 engaged quite extensively in forming
 and has a good ranch a few miles west of the city. He had to farm ol
 do something to make a living. for .
 man couldn't be expected to get any thing ahead running fhe canal busi
 ness on salary. Nobody understand
 farming any better than he does and
 now that he has the opportunity he 1 Is going to make 1t a speciality.

On charges of conspiring to violate the Edmunds acts, Lee Ford and Dolly Ford were indicted by the fed eral grand jury this morning. bench warrants issued. the pair arrested an hour later, and brought into court this afternoon to be arraigned.
 Speaking for the defendants, who claim to be man and wife, Attorney w. P. Richardson waived the reading of the indictment, and asking the court to grant until Monday morning before entering a plea. which was done.
 United States Attorney Alexander requested that bail be fixed .n the sum of 1000, which the court or dered Immediately afterward friends of the defendants in the Redlight dis triet arranged for their release on bal.
 Two indictments are lodged against each of the defendants. the only diff ference being in one it is alleged that they are married and in the oth- CT that they are not.
 The indictments sets forth that Lee Ford enered into conspiracy with P. and Babi Magnani on July 1. 1907, through which Dolly Ford was to en- ter a house of ill-fame, and that a few days after she did so do.
 Though there have been many in- dtctments in Arizona for violation of the Edmunds act this is the first in the territory in which the defendants have been charged with conspiring to violate the act. It sets new pre- ceden.
 Dolly Ford appeared in court this afternoon painted and wearing a black dress. She is a bleached blonde with hear and complexion to match The woman may have been beautiful once. but she has lost her good looks. | Ford is a heavy set, healthy look. ing individual. who has the appear 1 ance of a man strong enough to dc hard work Neither Ford nor the wo man with him appeared to be wor ried, talking with Attorney Richard son in low whispers.
