AROUND THE CIRCUIT.

Fairfield Ledger: The Newton Jour
mai thinks the "hitching racks" around
the square at oskaloosa will never be
removed because of the trade these
barns bring to town" There were
people IN Fairfield WAC thought the
same way. The hitehing racks were
removed. however after a strenuous
and bitter contest, and now there are
very few people of town or country
who are not pleased with the results.
With the horse stable removed from
the square the public park has be
come thing of beauty and place
of general resort for people Of bot1
town and country and a spot to at
tract the notice OF the visitor.

UNIVERSITY PLAT

Against the Hamm Brewing Co.

Crossings.

With very small majority the
couacil Monday evening at last ac.
cepted part OF the plat of the Holiness
University park which lies without
the city limits. The plat has been
brought up before the aldermen six
or seven times. but each time has fair,
ed to meet with the approval of the
majority and at the last regular N Get
ing was refused with but one vote in
its favor. The general objection
which has been continually raised to
its acceptance was the fact that tne
part of the plat within the city limits
would require considerable amount
of grading before TIE proposed streets
could be opened and the members OF
the council feared that something
might come up which would force
themTto Improve those streets. Mon
day evening the plat was presented In
two parts and only the one lying
without the. city limits was accepted.
The matter had been placed in the
hands of the street and alley commit
tee and the city SOLICITOR to invests
gate tne advisability of approving the
plat aad the majority of the commit
tee and the city. solicitor to investi-
of accepting the part without the cor
poration, while Councilman Campbell
gave a minority report objecting to
its acceptance. After much moving
and amending the matter was finally
brought up in such a form that the
men could understand what they We're
doing and WITH vote of to 4 the
plat was accepted.
1t was surprising that the dissent
ing vote should nave been so great
after City Solicitor Orvis made his
strong talk in favor of accepting the
plat. Mr.. Oryis admitted that ne mad
formerly objected to the plat because
he did not like the people but sail
that every objection had been met
and that the plat conformed to the
streets and alleys much better tnan
any other which had ever been
Drought before the council and that
it was really a matter of form to
have the council act upon the matter
but he believed there was only one
reasonable thing for them to do, and
taat was to accept 1t. The dissent
Ing voters were Campbell, Laffollett,
Ralston and Venable.
Claims Are Audited.
With a full attendance the city
council held their regular meeting
Monday evening. The usual list OF
claims was allowed and the reports
of the clerks appropriation fund and
the fire chief were accepted. The lat
ter showed but one call during the
month of June and that on the 27tl
day at the home of Mrs. Yetzer on
West Second avenue.
Three bills were presented which
the claims committee did not f1clude
in their list. The one of the Kemble
Floral Co, of $71.37, for the planting
of flowers in the park, and tae one OF

scented last year, were not allowed.
The other of N. S. Sparks of $500 for
trimming the trees in the park was
allowed.

ASSEMbLY VIVIAN HULL
 WANTS ROAD LAW
Yayapai Legislator Will Intro duce Bill Dividing Coun-
 ties Into Districts.

l T have no axe to grind in the con- ing legislature. and will go on record against all bills tending to graft on the taxpayers of the territory" said G. W. Hull, member of the assembly, as he passed through Prescott Tues day on his return to Jerome from a visit to Chaparral, where he has ex- tensive mining interests.
 T am in favor of honest legisla- tion," the veteran legislator said, land while there are number of meas ures that intend to give my hearty support, there is one that introduced at the last session, providing for the division of counties into three road districts, and the building and repair ing of the roads under the supervis- ion of a road overseer in each district, the overseer to be appointed by the board of supervisors.
 Take Yavapai county, for in stance" he continued. Under the present system we have forty-eight overseers in as many districts. These men draw $3 a day out of the county treasury for at least fifty days.
 'It is easy to figure the amount of H4CLE9 SAlBOIIEu HI luG Dl4ty anu lulS money could be expended in doing work on the roads. The matter was discusses at the convention of the supervisors of the different counties of the territory held in Phoenix two years ago, and a resolution was passed urging the passage of the measure.
 fsThe bill was defeated, however but I will make another attempt to hay cit passed. l am in favor of other legislation, but am most interested in this, as I am sure that it's passage would be a lasting benefit to every section of the territory"
 Hull has been a resident of the ter ritory thirty-one years, residing the greater portion of the time in the Verde valley and Jerome. He repre- snted Yavapai county in the eight eenth. nineteenth, and twentythird Legislative assemblies, and organized the nineteenth, being the oldest mem Der of the body. He is the oldest member-eIect to the lower house this year. and by right of precendent vii organize it.

HILL'S AUNT IS RESIDENT IF
 PHOENIX
Mrs. Edward Hill, of Capital City, Believes Pete Hill, Murdered Near South Bis bee Was Her Nephew,

The brutal murder near South Bis
 bee which is proving one of the most mysterious murders the police of this city have ever been called upon to solve, has led to discovery by Mrs. Ed
 ward Hill, who resides at 231 East Washington, in Phoenix, that Pete
 Hill, the dead man, is her long lost nephew.
 Reading an account several days
 ago of the murder of Hill, she be- came suspicious that it might be her nephew, and writing to Justice Hogan
 at Lowell has received information that confirms her suspicious.
 Mrs. Hill last heard of her nephew
 several years ago when he was on his
 way to Douglas to make his home in that city. Since then she has made
 several efforts to locate him, but has found no trace.
 Hill was to have been buried in Lowell, but Mrs. Hills letter of in quiry to Justice Hogan caused the funeral to be delayed until further in formation was obtained from her. Much mystery surrounds Hills mur- der, not only in the matter of his
 murderer, but regarding his identity,
 the Bisbee police having learned noth' ing about his relatives until receiving
 Mrs. Hills letter from Phoenix. Their failure to learn anything about Hills past first led the Bisbee
 officers to believe that he might have been living under an assumed name, not wishing his friends to know any thing about his antecdents.
 Mrs. Hills discovery that the mur- dered man is probably her nephew may assist the Bisbee officers in soiy' ing the mystery of his murder. Rob
 bery not being the motive, it is pos sibIe that some incident in his past life may throw light on the affair.
