WINTER WATER.-The season for
 the purchase of winter water by the
 farmers is near at hand. The recla-
 nation service announces elsewhere in this issue, that 1t is ready any, time between September 15 and September | 30, to sell water to all who are entitled
 to receive it, or rather to sell the Wa | ter service which is a very great dis | tinction without any appreciable diff
 ference in effect. The price of water
 for the winter season which is from | September 15 to May 15, 1909, is one
 dollar per acre. During the same pe- riOd flood water will be sold to those who want it at sixty cents per acre, 1T
 they are on lands entitled to it. Wa ter users should bear these dates in
 mind for water delivery will be sus- pended on all lands where payment has not been made by october 1st. A SOLDIER EN TOUR-Major Eos ter. commandant at Fort Whipple, | passed through Phoenix yesterday en

 THE OFFICIAL HORSE HUNTER. That is what Deputy Sheriff Jeff Adams is, though his occupation adds nothing to the emOulments of the sheriffs office. Yesterday morning a hunter of the name of Weeks com plained to Justice Johnstone that his horse had been stolen. He said he had gone hunting down the river and when the rain come up he securely tied the animal under the shelter of a tree and set forth to clear the country of game. On his return the horse was gone. He was sure that it had been stolen It could never have united itself. On his statement Ia John Doe warrant was issued and the document was turned over to the office of the sheriff. Deputy Adams set out with it and eight miles down the country he found the animal feed ing by the roadside. It is understood that a bill will be introuced into the next legislature providing for fees for the sheriffs office in such cases as these.
 HIS PRoVocATIoN WAS SUFFI- NT.-Salvado Preciado, a waiter in Tuck Hing-s restaurant. who last Saturday hit a guest with a plate. cutting him severely, was before Jus tice Johnstone yesterday afternoon. He related a story of the affair
 which coincided with previous stories .of it that the justice had gathered and he was honorably discharged with a judicial opinion that he had done the right thing under the cir cumstances. Preciado, who is young and small, said that three Americans .came to the restaurant and ordered something to eat. They began abus- ing him at the outset. When the food was set before them they com plained of the service and pushed it off on the floor. They continued their abuse of the waiter and finally began throwing things at him. He betrayed no resentment until one of them threw a plate at him. Since that was to be the game, Preciado. with better aim, threw one and i'm mediately thereafter the floor was red with the blood of the man who had been hit. Preciado said that after that one of the men drew a knife on him
