 It is announced that a movement for a farmers telephone system has been
 set on foot by the farmers of the Will son district. Their plans involve the extension of it to all parts of the val

VERY SHORT SESSION
 OF DISTRICT COURT
The Probable Disposition of the Maple and Fully Cases.

B. F. Reakseeker, who had been in- dicted for selling liquor at Alhambra without a license and who was arrest ed on Monday on 2 bench warrant, ap- peared in district court yesterday for arraignment. He will plead today. Francisco Brava, who had pleaded not guilty to an indictment charging him with aggravated assault. yesterday withdrew his plea and entered one of guilty. He will be sentenced tomor- row.
 A. B. Maple, who had been indicted for burglarizing the warehouse of the national guard and taking from it a couple of guns and other property, will be tried on May 22. At least that is the date for which the trial was reset but there is a sort of understanding that the defendant will be allowed to plead guilty to a charge of misdemean- or. The case of Thomas Fully, who was indicted for receiving the goods stolen by Maple, will probably take the same course.
 The public has generally believed that there was a lack of criminal in- tent in the offense of Maple; that his crime was more of fool break than anything else; that he took the goods for the purpose of showing that he could and intended to return them but found no opportunity to do so. The part of Fully in the affair seems to have been a wish to secrete the goods until some way could be found to re- store them to the warehouse.
 The following are the members of the special venire ordered by the court on Monday: H. F. DeWinton, A. G. Austin. s. P. Hoefer. R. Hill. J. E.. Maddox, Frank McClintOck. James Adams, Frank Loveitt, c. R. Price, w. F. Wolf, W. Y. Rumney, Joseph Cope, c. c. Long, J. T. McGee. Francis F'raz- fer, Clyde KanOff, F. c. Rinderle, c. R. Clark, J. J. Hodnett, J. w. Kimber. E.

It Is the law relating to using old postage stamps over again. or attempting to do so, as some people do when the cancellation marks are not too prominent. The punishment for detection in such a practice should make those inclined to such an offense hesitate.

vice relative to the merits of their voices, Miss Yaw was particularly gra- |cious and at the same time free to give practical criticism and pass judgment
 on the vocalists. Among the number
 who were received were Mrs. W. H.
 Tiffany, Dr. Lowe, Miss Anna Luke,
 Miss Murphy. Miss Ramona Rollins,
 Miss Maud Hawley, Harry Well and others.
 To Republican reporter last night
 Miss Yaw voiced her surprised at the number of promising singers in Phoenix and remarked that the ar here must be conducive to producing voices of quality. Dr. Lowe she said
 was a most promising bass, wonder
 full voice capable of development, and
 surprising results. He had fine stage
 presence, and had been started right,
 and had not been misdirected. There was in her opinion the material for a successful career. Dr. Lowe has been a pupil of Harry Well for the past two months.
 Mrs. Tiffanys voice had been proper ly placed, and she thought she had ar rived at a proficiency where she was ready for operatic work. In stage par lance eshe was operatic stock. Miss Yaw advised her to perfect herself in
 an operatic repertoire, that she might be in a position if she cared to follow the work to be placed on the list from which are selected those who can take parts on short notice. She advised her to do this before an European trip for as much could be gained at home when vocalists had been well ground ed in the principals.
 Miss Rollins she said had a very sweet and pleasing voice decidedly meg 20 soprano and she encouraged her in pursuing her studies. Miss Yaw ad- vised her regarding proper breathing and articulation securing which es- sentials she was on the road to success Miss Yaw also spoke in a very com plimentary manner of Miss Murphy's talent. her musical temperament. Also of Miss Luke's excellent training and good promise. Miss Maud Hawley is also possessed of true musical feel ing. Mir Well impressed her as gifted with excellent attributes, his voice a mellow baritone yet possessing strength and Individuality.
 Her praise of MT. Grunn was un- stinted and she said that the first eve ming they conversed on the Hotei piazza that she knew she had met true artist. He was . musician away and far above the average and Phoenix was fortunate in having him here to inspire and en- courage the study of music. Miss YaW was much interested in the Arizona school of music and frequently referred to 1t as a creditable institution and the
 building admirably adapted to its
 high purpose. She commended Mir
 Hughes work as an insmtructor ir
 voice culture. saying his methods wer, excellent. a fact gleaned from hearing some of his pupils.
 Before leaving she said she wished to thank the Phoenix people for tht courtesy they had shown during hei
 stay here and hoped she might be able to revisit the city alter.

Bryan's Running Mate.

impromptu reception in the rooms of
the house committee on ways and
means, where number of Democratic
representatives and many outsiders
chatted with him.
Asked by someone to name his
choice for running mate in the event
of his nomination at Denver, Mr.
Bryan laughingly replied:
Il shan't tell. That is too bold a
question"
To the newspaper men he said:
"You may say that my coming to
Washington was not to consult any
man or set of men as to whether
ought to be a candidate for the nom
ination. l have not put that question
to any men, nor shall l. The people,
not individuals, have the sole right to
decide that point. l am not here to
solicit support for myself as pos
sible presidential candidate. I never
solicit individual support. I never ask
any mai to vote for me. In the past
when l was before the people as can
didate. my efforts to obtain votes have
been confined to statements of my

Denver.-A Philadelphia dispatch
Monday night says: Col. Francis T.
Freeland, noted mining and civil en-
gineer, globe trotter and mine owner
of Colorado, who formerly lived here,
was found dead in his apartment at
the Colonnade hotel this afternoon.
Death is supposed to have been caused
by stroke Of apoplexy. The sudden
end Of Colonel Freeland is similar in
nearly every detail to the deaths of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas NJ.

ing suddenly from a stroke of apo
plexy.
Francis T. Freeland was in charge
OF the Isabella company's properties

Noted Desperate Captured.

Pueblo.-Tom Carr, the ex-convict
and desperate, who is wanted here on
a serious charge upon the complaint
of his stepdaughter, Edith Carr, and
who was arrested in Ell Paso, Tex,
about week ago, reached Pueblo
Tuesday in charge of Sheriff Mcmillan.
Soon after his arrival here Carr was
taken into justice court and arraigned
on a charge of criminal assault He
pleaded not guilty and being unable
to furnish bail, was taken to Jail to
await trial.
The story of Carr's sensational es-
cape and subsequent capture sounds
like tale of the old West. On leav-
ing Verde, after escaping from Deputy
Sheriff Burrows, he rode horse which
is the property of Chief of Police Nc
Cafferty of Pueblo. as far as Alamosa.
where he traded it for two bronchos.
In crossing the range near Alamosa
both his feet were badly frozen, but
he kept going until he reached Santa
Fe, N. NJ, where he took train for
Ell Paso. He Immediately crossed
over into Old Mexico but his descrip-
ton from Pueblo had preceded him
and by clever ruse a plain clothes
man lured him back to Ell Paso, when
he was Immediately arrested. Carr
seems to be heartbroken, but stoutly
maintains his innocence.
