J. ". Simpson Brings Action Against
 MOtheR-in-Iaw.
 New York Oct. 26.-James W. Simp- son the dentist who was accused of the murder of his father in law, Bart ley HoFner, and was later shot by his mother in~law as he was trying to enter the house in which Mrs. Horner and Mrs. Simpson were living, has sued Mrs. Horner for $l0000 damages for the latter shooting. which he claims was without cause or provo cation"
 . Mrs. Horner in her answer to the suit recites the facts of the killing of her husband, who died as the result of wounds caused by a discharge from a gun in Simpsons hands, which Sinap- son claimed, and the jury decided, was discharged by accident.
 She says that she was a witness against Simpson on his trial and that her daughter afterwards refused to live with Simpson, but resided with her. Simpson had been forbidden the house but attempted to see his wife and Mrs Horner shot him because. she said, she had been told that he en. tertained vehy bitter feeling against her and she was afraid he would try to kill her.

No modern American cit- can be considered complete without a Young Mems Christian Association. That there is peculiar need of such an or
 ganization in Phoenix, with its hun dreds of homeless young men, has long been recognized. About fifteen years ago. in 1893, the first organization was effected. Prominent among those interested in this initial movement were MT. NJ. W. Messenger, Col. Chris
 ty, D- Norton, B. T. Gillette and Dr. Randall Malcolm, visitor from Den yer Colorado. For two or three years
 it continued with considerable sue cess. Through its efforts, the clerks in the stores were interested in the gymnasium. Then the closing of the stores on Sunday was secured-Alkire Brothers voluntarily setting the cX- ample. Early closing came next. and then, unfortunately, owing to lack of funds and suitable quarters, the or ganization itself closed up. For near r. ten years the |. M.

THE ADAMS HOTEL.
John c. Adams, Proprietor.

Phoenix is equipped in hotel facili ties very far in advance of most towns of its size. The hundreds of people that visit the valley to spend the win ter, accounts for this in a great meas ure, but the energy. push and civic pride of John c. Adams has also had much to do in making Phoenix the town of good hotels. MT. Adams came here in 1895 and in 1896 he had built and thrown open to the public the Adams Hotel. as fine a hostelry as can be found between the Missouri river and the coast. The advisability Of building such a hotel in Phoenix. was doubted by many of Mir Adams friends, but the success that has re- warded his efforts in this lire has demonstrated his far sightedness. The house is a splendid structure with re- randas on each floor extending the full length of the south and west sides. The furniture and inside finishings are all of a very high order and in keeping with cut side appearances.
 The cuisine is first class in every prticular. the milk and butter being supplied from MT Adams farm.
 Mir. c. H. Cliffs took the manage ment of the hotel last November and opened it on the American plan. MT. Cliffs came here from Ohio and Is a member of the Ohio Hotel Associa- ton.
 Notwithstanding the stringency Tn the money market which has caused a slump m the usual number of visit

ors, interested in mines and sheep. and not withstandins the fact that there is no session of the legislature this year. yet the Adams Hotel has done d better business than ever, and this IS accounted for by the improvement in the management. The house is con ducted along lines that are making it very popular with the commercial travellers.
 When Mir Cliffs came here he brought with him eastern help for each department. and this has proven a splendid move and has eliminated the eternal help question" which is usually a big one for all hotels This action on MT. Griffis' part accounts for the fact that the Adams is doing the best business of its history this sea son, when fifty per cent of the hotels in the country are complaining and many of the resort hotels have not opened at all.
 Mir. Adams has taken pleasure and q good deal of profit out Of breeding fine horses. Horses from his farm have acquired world wide reputation. Among the most famous may be men tioned that greatest of all sires "Oh So that took tie gold medal at the Worlds Fair; "Boydello' an Arizona product with a four year old trotting record of 2.14h: and the splendid stall lion Milo Mckinney" for which Mr Adams has refused S50Oo While Mir Adams does not pose as being the pio-

Tn this advanced age of specialists it stands to reason that the man who devotes his time and attention to one particular line of work fer years, would naturally be in a position to execute work that would stand the in spection of the most critical Such is the enviable reputation F.

His superior equipment enables him to figure on and promptly execute any size con- tract in the above mentioned lines.

He has developed the work up the point that the name Butler on a tank or piece of metal work of any description has the same bearing to it that the word Sterling" does on sil- yer.
