married Ephraim Jefferson's s daughter
a sister to Henry Jefferson and Mrs
JShn H. Bewley. He had three

prominent man in Smyrna and vicinity
at one time, having kept the upper
hotel in the early forties and later
a farmer on the New Castle side.
They raised big family of children

started business at Cantwell's Bridge,
they were the best looking couple

MONGOLIAN MELEE.-Yesterday a Chinese, woman telephoned the po-
 lice that a number Of Japanese who rent bachelors quarters in the neigh
 borhoOd of "Ch.44 Alley" were en- gagged in cutting each other up into fish bait, a proceeding that reflected on the dignity of Chinatown and was likely to increase the mortality show
 ing of that section of the city in the next census. Marshal Moore made
 bee line for the zone of hOstilities and kicked the door in, to find four Japs well smeared with bacon grease and blood. and more or less black off the community frying pan. as the war broke out at meal time. As the officer broke in the Japs broke out. but they were brought to d halt and it was as certained that the trouble was the re-

 MONTANA PAROONED.-A pardon was yesterday granted by Governor Kibbey to Juan Montana. who was sent to the territorial prison from this country last May under sentence of eighteen months. for assault with d deadly weapon. The application for the pardon Was accompanied ny much testimony by those who knew the prisoner for many years. to the effect that he had on all previous occasions. been of most exemplary character and was not addicted to the use of liquor. IL was the consensus of opinion that he had been sufficiently punished and for crime that in the first place had been unWarrantably magnified He had been in the employ of the north ern sheepmen most of the time for the last twenty years and had always proved reliable and trustworthy. The crime was committed at Cave Creek and on that occasion it is admitted that he did get drunk as he ought not to have done. and got into a row with another Mexican in a saloon.

eXcelled anywhere in beauty of deco ration, though these same grounds. if
 no further despoiled, will look much better two weeks later. The German Stocks are of a beautiful purple color and line all the walks in the front of the grounds. This is the second time lately that this invasion of the grounds has occurred and it has been done, not by children or careless people. but by connoisseur flower thieves, unless,
 as is still harder to believe. it is the work of malice and the flowers are taken for spite against somebody. In
 this ease there is no instance of the
 breaking of side branch of the plant,
 but of these particular plants along the walks for a great distance. dozens of them in number, have lost the large central flower spike as though they were taken by some selfish and de- signing person, whose impulse was to grab from public places. choice things that cost him nothing.
 The Capitol grounds cannot be pro- tected by a standing army. day and night, and are necessarily in the hon orable care of the citizens The acts Of any person that tend tO depreciate them are crimes against the tax pay CTS who support them partly for the pleasure they afford the public. partly for their value as an illustration to visitors and tourists that Arizona is capable of growing some of the best things in plant life. Persons guilty of these acts if apprehended. will doubt less be dealt with severely by the au- thorities
 Superintendent Smith, who has ten dered his resignation, to take effect little later. is making a supreme ef- fort to leave the grounds in the very best condition they ever were in. and to show wide a diversity of plant life as k possible. At this time this act of vandalism is something of setback to MT. Smiths laudable per sonal ambitions when he is seeking for beautiful blending of the purples and crimsons and whites in the gener- al color scheme. to be later blended with the yellows and browns as the distinctive features This incident de- stroys very much of the effect. even though the grounds are still delight and are commented upon by all who visit them.
