WISCONSIN COMPANY SUED.
Charged With Planning to Defraud
the Government

Denver, May Discharged with con-
spring to defraud the government out
of 5000 acres of coal land worth over
$1000,000 in Routt county, near the
town of Lay, the Wisconsin Coal Min
ing company of Milwaukee was made
defendant in an equity suit filed in
the federal court Saturday for the re-
covery of the land, which, it is al
legged, was secured through the means
of dummy entrymen and women, who
conveyed the lands to the corporation
as soon as they had secured the
patents.
Criminal action is prevented owing
to the fact that the statute of limita-
lions has run against the entries.
While the corporation is charged
with planning to rob the government
of 5000 acres of land, it secured only
about 400 acres, through the fact
that only eight entrymen's titles were
perfected

JAPANESE PRESS CALM.
Reposes Confidence in Roosevelt and
His Administration.

Toxic, May 28-The japanese press
is still generally calm and reserved
over the apparently unprovoked at
tack upon the Japanese in San Fran
cisco. But it is only out Of Difference
TO President Roosevelt and his gov
eminent and the confidence reposed
in them that public expression Of re-
sentiment is withheld. Even the most
conservative and hopeful fear of a
repetition of a similar occurrence may
have serious results upon the rela-
tons of both countries. However at
present the firmest friendliness is still
expressed. 1t is confidently hoped
that the Washington government has
decided to take measures that will
prevent repetitions of the assaults and
attacks upon the Japanese.

DELIGHTFUL SCENERY OF THE MEDITERRANEAN
The Tour Of Mir. F. M. Murphy Along The Northern Shores of the Midland Sea.

Mention has .been made from time to time of the various stages of the journey of Mir. F. NJ. Murphy along the northern shores of the Maditerra- mean. A letter from him yesterday describes more in detail his enjoyment Of his outing. He entered the Medit- erranean at Gibraltar on May Is, and after brief stay at that greatest and most historic of strongholds he next touched at NaDoli, where he arrived on May 22.
 The next stopping place of interest was the beautiful city of Palermo on June l. From Palermo he set out on a tour of the island of Sicily. where he was at the date of the letter. June l" and where he expected to remain for several days before returning to the mainland at Naples.
 He was then about to leave for Cat ania. whence he intended to make a journey on the circular railroad around Mount Etna. The next day luncheon was to be taken at Taormina. a coast town whence the journey would be re- sumed to Messina.
 The whole journey through the isl- and has been made partly by automo- bile, that vehicle conveying Mir. Mur- phy to points of historic interest at a distance from the railroads.
 He writes: We are having a most delightful and interesting tine, en- JoNing every minute of it. The seen cry is beautiful and the weather thus Tar has been fine. The Greek ruins to be seen in travelling through Sicily are beyond description. The early history of the island is in evidence ev- erywhere.

NOON IN PHOENIX.
What Is Going on in Town When the
 Clock Strikes 12.


 Noon, the dinner hour. the hour of comfort. of pleasure and relaxation the one in the twenty-four which comes to men and women of every station with great similarity than the hour of any other function in life. Promptly as the clock strikes 12 in Phoenix the shadows on anxious faces turn to lines of good will. and if vil- lainous hot bread, pies. spices and Apther indigestibles were excluded there would be no such words as dyspepsia or indigestion in the dictionary. But the contrary is true. and medi- cal science has to step in and aid the man or woman who has been too busy to pay proper attention to health. The greatest step forward in medi- cal discovery is Mi-o-na. which cures all stomach and digestive troHbles.
 In hundreds of the best homes in Phoenix and adjoining towns the take, yet effective. have given quick and lasting relief in indigestion and that disagreeable full feeling after eating.
 Mi-o-na acts very gently. Much of it's wonderful power over indigestion comes from its uniform but sustain ing action. The required stimulating and strengthening is given to the inn portant organs of digestion without producing the slightest weakness or reaction.
 A 50-cent box lasts for a couple of weeks and will ward off a dozen att tacks of indigestion The Larson Drug Co gives a guarantee. absolute and unqualified. with every box of Mi-o-na to refund the money if it does not give satisfaction.

BISBEf'S PROGRESS
 IN CIVIC UTILITIES
The New Electric Line to Warren Townsite Will Stimulate Municipal Growth.

Tho people of Bisbee are enthused over their prospects of a new municip- al facility that will permit them to put on metropolitan airs. afford a new con- venience to city life. and do much to- ward making that place a city instead of mining camp. Reference is made to the proposed street railway for which a franchise was given the War ren Company a few days ago by pop ular vote of 375 to 27. It will indeed be an achievement when visitors to Bisbee see a street car winding up the hills and down the canyons where it was heretofore supposed to be i'm possible for a humming bird to fly without breeching.
 The Warren Company is the organ ! i.ation exploiting the Warren town site two and a half miles distant from Bisbee. IL is a level piece of ground and is designed to be a swell suburb until such time as it all becomes one city. There was some fear a while back that the Warren project might fall through by reason of faulty title to the land on account of dsubt whether it was mineral or agricultur- al, and whether it had been properly acquired from the government. This iC is understood is all settled now. the patents having been issued long ago. and the property passed to the third and fourth party. which transfers pre- vent any further question. great rnany lots have been sold and improve ments are under way. With the build ing of the street car line it will be brought within a few minutes of the business center of Bisbee and will give that city the room to spread in. she stands so much in need Of
 F.. E. EllinwoOd of Bisbee who was here few days ago. said it was the prrpose of the company to build the electric line down Tombstone canyon. taking in the various shafts on the way to Warren. A loop is also to be run to the Johnson addition. making a total of about eight miles of track. MT Ellinwood said that a mile and three quarters of the road bed had been graded when he was here and that the project was being pushed as fast as possible. The material he said is or- dered, and some of it is already on the way. The system is to be fully m to date Tn every way. with large traction cars and when completed it will be a flfst class municipal railway that will connect the city with all the princi- pal mines In the district.

nois At an early age he went with his parents to Missouri where he lived until early manhood and married his first wife. By that, union one son was born who lives in Missouri. Soon after the birth of the child the>mother died and not long after the loss of his wife he went west finally settling Carslile. N. M., where he was variously occu- pied in the employ of mining com pany as justice of the peace, post master and in farming. In this local ity he married the present Mrs. Levy who was Miss Rozella Walls. After living some years at Duncan, Arizona. about the year 1891 the family moved to the Tonto Basin country and a year later to Buckeye. Here he was en- gagged in farming and as superintend- ent of the canal until three years ago when he sold his ranch here and bought the present place a short dis tance north from Phoenix. Last March Mir. Levy undertook the management of the work at the head of the canal for the Buckeye Irrigation company anf intended to go home when that work was finished but he was finally induced to remain in the company's employ for one year as superintendent of the canal. About two weeks ago he found it necessary to get into the canal for the proper adjustment of gate and rode some distance in his wet clothing which brought on the fatal attack of pneumonia. Besides a number of relatives in the east he leaves here the wife and a large fam lily of children. four of whom are mar ried. The eldest daughter and family. Mrs. D. P. Clanton live in southern California. The second daughter and family Mrs. L. Mitchell lives in the state of Washington. two sons living in this county are married. The rest of the children are young ranging from about twenty-one years down to a child about one year old. The family has the sympathy of the entire com munity.
