STATUTORY LIMIT
 WAS ENCOUNTERED
Plaintiff in Former Suit Loses There by Costs to Amount e Over S65.

Because the bill of costs was not filed within the statutory time by the plaintiff in the E. r. Johnson suit against ] F. Haigler for a sum owing him for thrcshing barley, the plaintiff will probably not be able to recover the costs of the action. which amount ed to S65.15. The case was argued be- fore Justice Kyle yesterday. in whose court judgment was rendered allowing the plaintiff Sl4 and costs. After hear ing the arguments of the attorneys. Justice Kyle passed favorable to the defendant on the costs of the action. G. W. Siverthorn. representing MT Johnson. gave notice of appeal to the district court. Attorney Woolf rep resented the defendant
 Some time ago Johnson threShed a quantity of barley and clover seed for Haigler The latter paid for the thTeshinS to the amount of $319. John son claimed -ay al the rate of $125 per day for four days. or Sj00 This contended Haigler. was unjust. and he refused to pay more than he had al- rcady claiming that according to the agreement he had paid $29 more than he really should have. been charged.
 JohnscR entered suit for the differ ence between $500 and &S19. The case was transferred from Mesa to Justice Kyle's court where a jury rendered d verdict. allowing Johnson pay at the rate of % cents por loo pounds for threshing. at which rate Haigler was still owing S1i, the amount of judS- ment.
 The judgment was entered on Feb ruary E and the memorandum of costs was not filed until March 2nd. or sixteen days afterwards. As the statutory limit for filing such memo randum is ten days. the justice ruled that the said memorandum should be stricken from the judgment and that Johnson be held for costs of court to the sum of S19.40.

A FRUITFUL SOURCE
 OF ARIZONA SETTLERS
The Texas Panhandle and Eastern New Mexico Ripe for the Salt River Valleys Immigration Sickle.

Sheriff Carl Hayden who returned on Thursday afternoon from the Texas Panhandle, believes that this is the most fruitful field in the world for the operations of the immigration commits Sioner and the board of trade of this county. People are Hooking into that country as well as into a strip along the eastern border of New Mexico from Nelrose on the west to the Colorado line on the north and the Texas line on the south.
 They come mostly from eastern Tex as and Oklahoma and Louisiana. The greater part Of them have been sue ccssful settlers in Oklahoma who have sold out their holdings at an advance and are trying to duplicate their sue Cosses a little farther west.
 They have been attracted into that region by the stories they have heard of dry farming, which has been prac- ticed there with success for lhe last two years But now dry farming is at its height in that part of the country. The conditions for it though, Mir. Hay den says, are no more favorable there than on almost any Of the plains of this territory.
 
 coo people have come into New Mex ico alone, a large majority of them set ting in that strip east of Melrose, though many have been attracted by the Roswell and Carlsbad irrigation projects MT. Hayden talked with many of them who had heard of the Salt River valley but they had supp0s- ed that tne railroad fare 10 this point Was so high that they could not afford the journey. Some of them when they were told that the colOnists' rate was only about SIG more than they mad al- ready paid, said that they would probably come to the valley and look il over.
 Some of them had never heard Of this part of Arizona at all. and had supposed that the Was a very hot ter ritory. inhabited only by miners and prospectors 1ir. Havder found one man who knew that there was an agri- cultural region called the Salt River valley but he had never heard of PhOe- nix. He had been Of the opinion that the metropolis. and. SO far as he knew, the only town was Glendale. This man was not an illiterate; he could read pen Writin for his information about Glendale had been gathered from let tcrs ef a former acquaintance who had settled there and was doing well. but who in his letters. had neglected to mention the existence Of Phoenix. He had told Of the wonderful crop that could be raised in this region; he had conveyed the astounding information that man could make q living on for ty acres here and even get rich on it.

Thus some unbelievable statements that NIT. Hayden had made to the set tiers with whom he had come in con tact, was given confirmation.
 Almost without exception these peo- pie have money in sums ranging from 5000 to Sj0o0, the proceeds of the sale of their earlier lfomesteads. A very little effort. Mr. Hayden says. would divert thousands to this country.

MCENDlARNS 5 ATTACK
 CREIGHTON SCHOOL
Two Boys Arrested for Trying to Fire
 the Building or ThIrsday Night.

Somebody tried to burn the Creigh- ton school house night before last. When the school house was opened yesterday morning it was found that a fire had been started on top of desk in each of the two rooms. A lot of in flalmable material had been piled on the desks and ignited, but when the fire burned to the hard wood tops it only charred them and went out.
 There was no clue to the inCendiary or incendaries. but warrants were is- sued out of Justice JOhnstone $ court for the arrest of two boys. Walter Will Hams. aged fifteen and John Miller. aged fourteen. There was no evidence against either of the boys. but they were taken into custody for the req son that they were the only ones who. so far as was known. might have had a motive. Both boys had lately been expelled from the school for insdb0rdi- nation.
 The boys\wcre brought in by Depu- ty Sheriff Jeff Adams and later. the father Of Miller was permitted to take him home and hold him for a further appearance in the matter. Williams spent the night in the woman's cell. Both are rather good looking lads and apparently not vicious.
 The circumstances do not indicate a fixed purpose to burn the building, otherwise the fire would have been started in some other way. It is thought that the incendiaries merely wanted to show their disapproval of the educational system in that district and did not care whether the house burned or not. At the time the fire was. started the chances were rather in favor Of the destruction of the huilding

 Some BattIsships Available.
 If the mobilization now under con sideration is ordered into effect the old battleships Indiana and Iowa, which have been in reserve at League island and Norfolk. would have to be placed in commission, but they could be made available on several days notice. The principal vessels to be counted upon would be the new battle ships Idaho, Mississippi and New Hampshire, which are soon to be com missioned.
 Several weeks would be required in which to mobilize a force of 5000 sol diers, and these, with the marines on the Atlantic, would be transported from New York, Newport News and Tampa, while those on the Pacific coast would be shipped to Panama and sent across the isthmus for ship msnt to La Guayra. It has been found also that one of the most difficult problems in the situation would be the lack of transports.

Elaction In Chicauo.

Chicago, April S.-The election was purely aldermanic and followed closely party lines. One-half of the member ship of the city council of seventy was elected. Although the question of Sun day closing of saloons was barred from the ballot by court action, the United Societies For Local Self Government claimed a victory in as much as but twenty-three of the seventy aldermen who will compose the new council, they declared. are opposed to the society's platform favoring personal liberty. The Independence league made strong fight in several of the wards and boiled a vote of good proportions for some of its nominees, but the total vote of the party was less than that of the Social fists.

CRIMINALS MEN OF SCIENCE.
To 0utwit Them Detectives Must
 Make Use of Modern Methods.

The methods employed by criminals have improved" They have be- come scientific. The criminal of to- day handles chloroform, opium, nor phia, with all the cleverness of a physician.
 Again, the tools used by the modern jailbird are unrivalled masterpieces. One amazing proof of the scientific knowledge of the modern criminal and his keenness in keeping abreast of modern discoveries lies ill the fol- lowing fact: Recently in Marseilles the huge safe of bank was rapidly opened by means of complicated ap- paratus which had only been invented by prominent engineer ten months previously!
 But the detective also avails him. self of scientific discovery. Former ly in cases of forgery, for instance, a drop of water was placed on the forged words. If the paper has been scratched and it's size removed the water was immediately sucked in: if the paper had not been scratched the drop remained for a while on the top. The process was primitive and spoiled the document
 Nowadays the suspicious paper is photographed and on the proof the marks of scratching are easily detect ed by clear differences in the color. Photography is used also in the case of forgeries made by means of chem icals.
 When a heap of burned documents is found in the fireplace thin sheets of glass are inserted between the burned papers. As soon as one sheet is on the glass it is rendered less brit tie by means of a special liquid and it is unfolded and photographed. The process is repeated with every sheet, and after few hours the documents are easily read.
 A process formerly used for the classification of blood stains con- sisted in examining them under the microscope and from the appearance of the red globules the investigators would draw their conclusions as to the nature of the blood. Unfortu- nately this examination gave nc re- suit when the blood stains were not recent.
 To-day more scientific method is used. The stain is washed; a few drops of the water used are poured into tube containing some specific serum from rabbit inoculated with human blood. When the addition of water produces in the serum a fine deposit and gives a misty appearance to the liquid one can be perfectly cer- tain that the blood stains were human

A TREE ON A TOWER.
It Is the Last of Grove of Four on
 the Same Perch.

A tree growing on the top of the no foot tower of the court house at Greensburg, Ind, is curiosity which is said by a writer in St Nicholas to have no duplicate in the world There were formerly four trees, but when the court house was re- modelled in 1887 the largest tree, then about fifteen feet high. was re- moved, as it's size was thought to render the tower unsafe.
 Two others on the south side per ished from the intense heat. The tree left is found at the northwest corner of the tower. where the re- fiection of the heat of the tower is not so intense as at the point where the two others died.
 AS there is grove of soft naples growing in the court house yard, the grove on the tower is supposed to have been started by the wind blowing the winged maple seeds into the crevices where, catching root in the sediments of dust and watered by the rain, they sprouted.
 The trees were first noticed sprouting more than thirty years ago.
 A recent examination of the tower shows no damage done by the spreading and growth of the roots. This tree is about fifteen feet in height and three inches in diameter. It was found that the trees were nourished by a layer of growth a few feet below where the roots emerge.
 A large crack on the south side of the tower where one of the trees was removed is noticeable from the ground. Because of the lone tree, Greensburg is sometimes known as the Lone Tree City"

ID MOVE ON CASTRO
Army and Navy Making Plans
 For Demonstration.
WE ARE SHORT OF VESSELS
Ninety Per Cent of Sea Force Now In Pacific Waters and Only Small Graft Remain Available-Transport Also Are Lacking.

Are Lacking.
 Washington, April S.-Plans are be. Ing elaborated in detail for the mob- ilization of joint military and naval force in Venezuelan waters as soon as possible after President Roosevelt ob- tains congressional sanction to resort to force against Castro. It may not bs deemed necessary by the administra tion to make this martial demonstration but the war and navy departments are movement
 It was learned that the whole mill. tary situation is now under considera- tion by the general staff of the army and the general board of the navy by direct order of the president upon Sec retary Roots recommendation for pre- paredness to back up eventualities with a show of arms.
 Congressional Authority Needed.
 The president cannot constitutionally declare war against Venezuela. Leg islatiye authority would be required for such campaign, and the present preparation of plans is understood to be merely in accord with the policy of mapping out campaigns for possible emergencies. The directions given in the present instance are, however, the most explicit made since the army and navy were ordered to prepare for re- lief column against Picking during the Boxer troubles and are being guarded closely and transmitted verbally from bureau to bureau.
 The general board has under consid- eration the warships available, the ar my general staff, the available forces in the United States and the trans portatiop, while General Elliott, com mandant of the marine corps, has been directed to furnish detailed informa- tion respecting the greatest number of marines that could be mobilized for Venezuelan service. The general board calculates that nearly 90 per cent of the entire naval strength of the gov ernment is in the Pacific. General Elliott finds most of his marines on foreign duty, leaving only 1000 off cers and men available in navy yards, while the general staff discovers that scarcely more than 1s,OO0 members of the movable army Is stationed in con tinental United States out of total force of nearly 75,0OO men.
 The Atlantic coast is virtually with out effective fighting craft, and off cials who have been studying the prospects of a campaign realize that this is particularly inopportune time for the delivery Of blow at Gas tro. The ships available are merely minor coast craft, such as the Des Moines. Duhunue. Marietta, Paducah
