smaller amount yesterday afternoon.
In defending the action the defendant
contended hat his attitude throughout

understanding between him and Miss New
comb had been a trial engagement. .
His counsel characterized the oourtship as
had ever heard Of He said that Mr.,
Slocum had been wheedled and coa1ed
into the engagement and that Miss New
comb had even popped the question.
Neither OF the parties to the suit is
youthful, and Lawyer Wells. for the plain
tiff. took advantage OF this fact TO say that
Mr., Slocum should have known too much

one Miss Newoomb writes: 81 have a jar

IMPORTANT CASE Is ARGUED AT

 InUrNIk
Back Tax Suit Submitted On Briefs and Oral Argument No Action Taken in Manda- mus Case Against Board.

After attending the session of the Supreme Court wnicn was nei1 al Phoenix during the past week. J. M O'Connell returned home yesterday morning. He represented the board of supervisors in the mandamus suit which was brought by Attorney ten eral Clark before the Supreme court to compel the Board of Supervisors of Cochise County to place the non-pro- dncing patented minng claims on the tax rolls at an increase of 200 per cent over the valuation placed on them by the county assessor
 The attorney genaral filed petition in the Supreme Court on the first of this month asking for writ d man damus to compel the board to carry out the orders of the Board of Equal ization The papers were served on the board some few days later but not in time to allow M O'ConneIl, whom the board had retained. the statutory ten days time in which to file his answer On this account when the matter came up before the Su- preme Court it was continued until the January term.
 In the back tax case which Attorney General Clark Is bringing to compel County Treasurer Gaines to place vlI the list an alleged claim against the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining Company, arguments on both sides were heard and the court took the matter under advisement.
 Attorney General Clark and Hon. John H. Wilson, represented the Ter ritory, while Gaines was represented by Hon. Ben Goodrich of Tombstone. The oral arguments, in addition to the briefs, were limited to thirty minutes for each side, all ot which was con sumed by the attorneys.
 There is no doubt that the Board of Supervisors will make a fight against placing the patented non-pro- ducing mines on the rolls at the enor- nous increase, as such action would force the majority of prospectors in the county to let go of claims on which they have worked for several years, and out of which they have not real ized one dollar. The action ot the Board of Equalization does not affect the big operating companies, but the small prospect owner.
 Supervisor Bowen stated short time ago in an interview that the board would resist the case to the end.

TYPHOID FEVER BEING PUT rA naur
 III UIIEIE
 iU HUUl
Percentage of Cases Lowered
 To Remarkable Extent Physicians Think It Will Be Stamped Out in Few Years.

In an informal discussion of the general haalth nf the cifv at the council meeting last night the mayor took occasion to say that the degree to which the percentage of typhoid fever had been reduced on account of the improved sanitary conditions was remarkable
 Seventy-five per cent of the cases which are reported to the hospitals come from the Lowell and South Bis bee districts, where precautionary measures have not been taken. He further took occasion to say that If the present fight against the disease was kept up the city would be rlu oi 1t within period of five years The completion of the sewer system will be another big step toward eliminat- ing this disease.
 The real light against the fever was started by the Medical Association of this city, which sent out to practically every citizen of the, town directions as to how to take precautions to avoid the disease. Sanitary measures for taking care of the refuse of the city were also started and successfully car ried out.
 u mas diWays been well known fact that the mortality for typhoid fever in Bisbee was lower than any other part ot the United States, the physicians seldom losing a case. But 1t is also very gratifying to note that the number of cases has been lowered to a remarkable extent There is hardly 10 per cent of the cases of this disease that there were enc year ago. At the present time there are four cases at the Calumet 6 Arizona hos pital, two at the Copper Queen and not more than half a dozen through out the city-not more than a dozen in all.
 With the extension of the sewerage system to all parts of the city and the continued precautions heretofore used. the complete elimination of the disease Is confidently expected at no late date

 The accident occurred shortly al ternoon. Askel and a companion were out hunting on horseback and the for mer had his gun in his right hand. and started to reach for something with his left. In some manner not known to either the gun eApIousa with the result noted above. The in inred man Has carried to the hospital and a physician summoned.

CRAWLSTHROUGH HOLE IN ROOF ~@ snas
 Hi tHjI
 u UhIL
Frank Bell, Sentenced to Serve SO Days for Petty Larceny Escapes and Is Still At Liberty,

Last night about 8 o'clock Frank : :. - --=-.-.,s-- e.-.e>..s-..- s-e,- fenced to serve sixty days in the county jail after having been con vscted of stealing a ten dollar check from the Shattuck saloon, crawled through the roof of the jail, and up to a late hour had not been recaptured.
 Bell was taken from Justice Bur dicks courtroom in the Muheim block last evening al about o'clock, and placed in the upper story of the branch county jail on O. K street. The prisoner was fed a short time afterwards, and the officers left to eat their own dinners.
 About o'clock Constable Twomey went to the jail and found hole cut in the roof. Another prisoner told minutes before his arrival. Twomey at once. with Deputy United States Marshal Foster. secured the hill in back of the jail, but could find no trace of the fugitive.
 The officers secured their horses and rode through the lower end of the district in the neighborhood of Don Luis and South Bisbee, but still could not find any trace. They then notified the officers at Naco and Douglas, as well as those at Lowell, so there .s little chance of Bells escaping arrest for very long.
 The officers stated that they did not place the man in one of the steel cells as he was only in on a misde- meanor charge. and 1t was customary to alloy these prisoners as much free dom as possible within the large tank. They were surprised at his taking such big chances for a term in the penitentsary to evade the light jail sentence There is no doubt that a charge of breaking jail will be placed against Bell as soon as he is caught.
 The cutting of holes fin the roof of the fail seems to have become mere pastime with prisoners. It was only a short time ago that demented in mate thought he would take stroll, and crawled through the roof after cutting hole in the covering.

 A detention camp, n which those who have been exposed to the disease were to be held. has been abandoned on account of the impossibiIity of ind ing out who had been exposed.
 The mayor called the councils at tentIon to the ease at the meeting last night. and stated that inasmuch as the old pest house had become useless 1t had been found necessary to put up a tent.
 A close watch will be kent for new outbreaks of the disease and no dif- nculty is expected n preventing its spread.

BUSY SESSION IF NE COUNCIL
 EAsT NIGHT
City to Grade Naco Road at Slag Dnmp-Route Chosen For Sewer Through Lowell. Petition Considered.

One of the busiest sessions of the atty council held in some time. was shat last evening. A large amount of husiness was tr transacted, including sAe disposal of the question concern lag the grading Of Naeo Road in th,. Tzcinity of the slaig dump, and pro
 3ding for the laying of sewer pipe 5aug the county road.
 Ion company the franchise to operare zn electric car line within the cor ecrate limits of Bisbee an ordinance had been passed providing for the es- eebiishment of per cent grade along Naco Road at the slag dump, because of the great inconvenience to tr4flc caused by the heavy grade fhere at the present time. Some qncs ton arose as to whether the Warren Company should be reauirsfa to stanr portion of the expense of grading t1 view Of the fact that their line would be operated along the highway.
 J. M. O'Co1nell was on the stand fin the interests of the company and tae question was thoroughly discussed from all points oi view Reference to the date on which the ordinance was passed establishing the grade in the aeighborhood of tue slag dump show ed that it was in effect long before the franchise had been granted to the Warren Company and that the city intended making this improvement regardless of whether an electric car line was ever constructed there or aot
 In view of these circumstances the eounciimen were ot the opinion that the city should make the improve nents. The city is short of funds for road purposes anu VIII IaKe au- vantage or the oiTer ms.de ny the Warren Company to provide the nee essary money for the carrying out of the work
 The route that the new sewerage system should take through and in the vicinity of Lowell was then taken up and after the discussion of differ ent phases of the question 1t was de- cided to ask the Board of Sueprvis- ors to grant the city permission to run the pipes along the road.
 A number of citizens then appeared before the council with the Rev. John Irving O'Neil. pastor of the Baptist church of this city as their spokes- man, and called attention to the fact that petition asking that gambling fin the city be prohibited was before them and asking that some action be taken on the same. The matter was discussed and in view of the fact that the right of the city. under it's char ter. to bring prosecutions for misde- meanors had not been decided by the courts. it was thouest best to take no action antfI the decision had been handed down
