COURT DENIES WRIT
ASKED BY TRUSTEES
No Provision In Law for Pay
ment of Truant or EIec-
ton Officers.

PHOENIX, March 17.-Stating thai
he rendered his decision with much
reluctance, Justice Edward Kent in
the district court this morning denied
the application Of W. C. Dawes, L. w
tees of the Phoenix schools, for a
writ of mandamus to compel School
Superintendent Fulton to pay the sal
aries of three school election officers
and truant officer.
In rendering his decision, Justice
Kent stated that he could find no Law
in the territorial statutes which pro
vides for the payment OF salaries to
either election officers or truant Of
ficers, and that these services must
be performed without pay.
Justice Kent suggested that the
matter be placed before the next leg
islature and law passed rroWding
for the appointment OF tn ant off
Ger and his pay, as well as a .proba-
ton officer.
Dawes. ct al asked for the writ on
the ground that Fulton refused to
honor vouchers and draw warrants
for w. W. Edwards, w. NJ Fikas and
George Helm, who served on an cleo
ton board, for $3.50 each, and the
voucher OF John Standard for SIS for
two weeks work as truant officer.
On the advice of Attorney General
Clark and District Attorney Billiard,
Fulton refused to pay the salaries OF
these men. Justice Kent's decision
this morning sustains them.
The next legislature will be asked
to adjust the matter.

advising his being held to the grand
jury The other three members, how
ever, Favored exoneration on the
grounds of the unwritten law.
When Murray arrived in Albuquer-
que last night on Santa Fe train No.
g, he was accompanied by his wife
and children. He went at once to a
lodging house and did not appear
again until late, when he met Cap
tain Fornoff and gave himself up.
Captain Fornoff arrived on No. from
Santa Fe, but did not find Murray
until late in the evening.
Then Murray declined to discuss
the case.
According to the account which
comes from Thoreau, Murray went
home late Sunday night and found
the man, Jim German, there.
The situation was compromising
and Murray killed German.
This is the story as Murray told II
in Characteristic ten-word telegram
to Captain Fornoff. telling him of the
killing. Murray followed this short
time after with another, asking Cap
tain Fornoff to meet aim here when
ne submitted to arrest. The coroner's
jury, which met yesterday afternoon
at Thoreau was in session for some
time but failed to come to decision,
the members standing three to three
for and against exoneration.
Murray, during his term with the
mounted force, has been an excellent
officer of unusual efficiency. He is
credited with great many arrests,
several of them of Importance, and
has succeeded in maintaining order
in the lumber districts of western Va
lencia and Mckinley counties. He
has been considered one of the most
efficient members of the force.
His friends In Thoreau say that the
officer will be able to give ample JUS
tification at the proper time for the
killing of German.

Whether he has the organization

that he is candidate in dead earnest

To a reporter for the Star yester-

GOVERNOR k|BDEY
VISIT DOUGLAS
viii Go 70 Smelter City On
Thursday Morning TO Spend
Day or Two There,

C. A Overlook last night received
q telegram from Sims Ely that Gov
ernor Joseph H. Kibbey would reach
Douglas Thursday morning and remain
here over night, leaving for Clifton
on the morning train.
Mr.. Overlook first received intelli
gence that the governor desired to see
the people of Douglas at the depot
as he passed through Thursday morn
ing, but after being informed that the
people of Douglas were specially anx
ious to have him pay them a visit for
a day, at least, the present satisfactory
arrangement was made.
Many of the business men were seer
yesterday by Mr.. Overlook, who as
sured him that they were specially
anxious to show Governor Kibbey a
pleasant time in this city and point out
the tremendous growth which has
been made since his last visit here,
some two years ago. 1t was thought
proper that Mayor Adamson and the
chamber of commerce prepare a re-
ception for the governor and make II
possible for all the people of Douglas
to meet the governor at the Gadsden
Thursday night.
Now that it is arranged that Govern.
or Kibbey is to be with us on that
date, the arrangement can be prompt

and killed Jim German at Ketner.
Murray claims that German had main

That there was justification for the

JONES DISCUSSES
MEXICAN LAND VALUES
Thinks Well of Property In Diff
ferent States of South
ern Republic.

In a letter to the Stafford Guardian
Hon. Wiley Jones, who has just re-
turned from a trip to Mexico, pre-
sents some interesting facts about
the price of land in that republic.
SIN the state of Sonora, bordering
on Arizona, and the state of Sinaloa,
south of Sonora, raw lands can be
bought for prices ranging from IS to
$40 per acre, depending upon quail
ty'' writes Mr. Jones. Raw agricul-
tural lands are about $40 per acre,
which can be cleared for planting for
about So to IS per acre, and the farth-
er south you go in Sinaloa, the less
need there is for irrigation. About
Culiacan, the capital of Sinaloa, fine
crops are raised without any irriga-
ton whatever. as the rainfall on the
lands increase from Guaymas south
ward to Mazatlan, In the southern
part of Sinaloa.
These lands can be bought for a
part payment cash, and deferred pay
ments from two to three years, thus
enabling the settler to pay the de-
ferred payments from the production
of the lands. The products are ev-
erything raised in Arizona and in adj
dition thereto many semi-tropical
plants, including bananas, dates, figs.
guavas, mangoes, pomegranates, or
anges in abundance, coffee, olives,
strawberries the year round, indigo,
and pineapples from Culiacan south
ward. The railroad is building down
through this section to connect with
the City of Mexico. thus opening up
all these fine lands along the west
coast. OF course the above prices
will increase when the railroad gets
through
"On the east coast of Mexico lands
are about the same price and the
cost of clearing is about the same.
There are fine lands from Vera Cruz
and Tampico northward on the east
coast suitable for raising all products
above mentioned. Labor is about rs
to 40 cents per day. All figures here
in given are American money. ! am
not urging these lands over our own
beautiful and rich ella valley lands.
but instead of paying from 500 and
upwards per acre for lands, the man
unable to pay such price can have the
benefit OF rood lands at n'ninum
price and reap the advantages of the
Increase to follow in that section"
