VERDICT GIVEN
FOR DEFENDANT

CHILD LOST TO PLAINTIFF,
MRS. NELLIE LONG.

A verdict for the defendant was
reached at l O'Clock today by the

Cluded last night, and at the opening

by Attorney A. ]. Green of Culdesac.
After the conclusion of the address
of Mr.. Green the attorneys for the
defense stated they We're willing to
! submit the case to the jury without
argument, after which the instruc-
lions of Judge Steele-were relivered
and the jury retired.
The story of the case briefly told
as brought out by the evidence Is
! that Nellie Long is the mother oil
Bessie Smell, minor, about Is years
of age At the beginning of the
school year in 1906 the plaintiff
brought the said Bessie Smell to Cul
desac in order that she might attend
school and secured, an arrangement
with the defendant L. A. Cary, by
which the girl should board at hi!
house and attend school, the girl tc
assist in the Homework for hel
board.
At the conclusion of the schoo
year last spring the girl did no
want to return home because of tn,
abuse alleged to have been received
at the hands of her stepfather
Long. and upon this representation
she was allowed to continue the hos
pitality of the Cary home. a.~-

THt LIMIT CONFERRED
 ON ROBBfR OF A FRItND
Dionicio Palomino Who Explained that tho Alien Contract Labor Law Had Been Violated.

Justice Johnstone could not have done more for Dionicio Palomino if he had set up nights for a week thinking the subject over. He gave him 1S0 days in the county jail and that was the limit fixed by the statute to judicial liberality.
 Palomino is worse than a highway robber Night before last he came upon his friend, Jesus Nada. whose clothing was in a disOrded state, and volunteered to make him presentable- While he was doing it he extracted two ten dollar bills from the pockets of Nada and when the latter remon- strated Palomino charged him with in- gratitude and wanted to fight.
 Nada instead. came up town and swore out a warrant for the arrest of Palomino. The warrant was put into the hands of Constable Murphy, who got on trail of him and followed him about until he located him in bed. He had g. left. But the constable had discovered that he had much more money than that. At Espinosa's store he had a ten dollar bill changed.
 When he was brought before Jus tice Johnstone yesterday morning, Palomino stated that he had come here from Chihuahua on a contract to labor. He had no money when he arrived and had worked only two days since. That was for the city nearly a month ago. So it appears that the city has been violating the alien labor law. Still. Palomino. though sufficiently alien. was not so much of a labOrer as to But that was not what the justice was inquiring into. He wanted tO find out where Palomino had got his money, for he denied that he had stolen any from Nada.
 But when he was confronted with the knowledge that he had had bill changed at Espinosa's he gave way and said that he did not know. the source of his wealth. He had been too drunk tEe night before to know anY- thing.
 Palomino could have been held on felony charge but the chances were that Nada, who is migratory individ- ual, would not be here at the time of the next grand jury meeting. It was accordingly decided to convict him of a misdcmeanor and give him the limit. When his sentence was announced Palomino looked like q man who thought it was enough.

 trueO The Chinese plate looked very blue, And walled. "Oh dear, what shall we

 flew, Don't fancy I eXaggerate- I got my news from the Chinese plate!)

THE BACK TAX CASE
 FROM COCHISt COUNTY
The Suit of a Special Attorney for the Enforcement of Contract With the Collector.

Two cases of more than average in terest were presented or partially pre- scented in supreme court yesterday. One was the case of John McGowan appel lant against J. N. Gaines, tax collector of Cochise county and the Aetna Sur ety company. appellees.
 The plaintiff is an attorney and had entered into some arrangement with the tax collector for the collection of back taxes under the law on that sub Ject, passed by the last legislature. After having put in three or four months in getting ready for the work. he was notified by the tax collector that his services vert no longer re- quired. The plaintiff and appellant says that there were at that time back taxes due the county from the Copper Queen Mining company alone to the amount of S150,OO0 and that his com mission or fees allowed by law would have amounted to S25.OOO. He asked judgment for that amount
 The Atena company demurred on the ground that the court of Cochise county had no jurisdiction over it in this case and the demurrer was sus- tained. On the part of the tax col lector it was cOntended that the ap- pellant had no case since the employ
Arizona republican., 1907-01-19

ment of the plaintiff such as he alleged would have amounted to an appoint ment which the tax collector was with out power to make.
 Another case was that of Allen R. English and wife against the terrri- tory to the use of J. w. Began, tax collector of Pima county. This is one of the echoes of the removal of the wedge" in Tucson some three or four years ago. The appellant was one of the signers of the petition for the re- moval of this obstruction to the more complete beauty of Tucson. The peti- tion he signed related to the removal of the narrowest part of il, or, so to speak. the tongue of it, that strip of land lying between Church and Court streets and between Congress and that thoroughfare known to history as Maiden Lane. More of the wedge was removed than was prayed for in the petition and the abutting property was assessed for the benefits which had been heaped upon it by the improv- ment. The appellants cOntended that they were not present at the time of the assessment and had had no intel ligence that it was going to be made. Moreover they had not been benefited by the so-called improvement. Judg- ment was rendered against them in the district court of Pima county.
 The case of J. H. Work appellant against the United Globe Mines com pany appellee was dismissed for want of prosecution. The same order was made in the case of Otto W. H. Schley appellant against F.. L. Vail and the other members of the board of super visors of Pima county appellees. The case of M. J. Callahan appellant against John A. Barkley and Sam Davis appellees Pima county was dis missed for the failure of the appellant to comply with the rules of the court.
