 Received.

A very entertaining program was rendered last night at the Christian church by Madame Pinney assisted by Ernest Wilson, tenor; Earl Kerr, bari tone; Carl Doud, violinist; the Canoro Male Quartett, Miss Alice Redewlil' Miss Mabel Dysart and Mrs. Louis Dysart. The concert drew very large attendance of the music lovers of the city.
 Madame Pinney was in excellent voice and her numbers were greeted with particular fSTvor. Her interpre- tations of the classic selections sung were very effective and showed sympathic understanding of the composers conception. The other ar lists on the program acquitted them selves with credit and were accorded their share of the applause. The prl- son song from Il TrOvatore with the chorus was one of the notable rendi- tions of the evening. The program was as follows:

MOSTLY CIVIL MATTERS
 IN DISTRICT COURT
The Case of the Union Bank Against
 the Guaranty Company Set for May

Tn greater part of the day In dis trict court yesterday was devoted to civil matters. The case of Arvisa, the young man who had pleaded gull ty to a systematic and prolonged bur glary of the New York store, was brought up for the passing of sen tence but that formality was contin- ued to May 16. William Thomas who had pleaded guilty to the robbery of his benefactors who had taken him when he was hungry and penniless, was sentenced to eighteen months in the territorial prison. Thomas was a miner and came to town stranded. He found a couple of others miners who who were temporarily out of work and were boarding themselves in cheap way in the southern part of the city. They took Thomas in and he lived off them for some time. Finally they were called away and left Thom- as in charge of their camp. They were hardly out of sight before he took possession of their stock of pro- visions which had just been replen- ished and brought the stuff up town and sold it for tithe of what the owners had paid for it. He was cap tured at Jerome.
 The case of D. H. Burtis against Dr. H. N. Cook, on a contract, occupied the afternoon.
 The injunction suit of w. A. Giles against the Appropriators Canal com pany was brought A temporary in junction was ordered to become ef- fective at noon on May Is unless the defendant files a bond for $2,000 con- ditiOn upon the payment of damages claimed by the plaintiff for the con struction of the defendant canal through his property.
 The injunction is to restrain the de- fendant from running water through the canal.
 The suit of w. F. Nichols of the Union Bank and Turst company against the Title Guaranty company was reset by consent for May 26. This is an action to recover $20,0OO, the amount of the bond of J. L. McDowell, the former cashier of the bank who had been bonded by the defendant. Mcdowell, who has been sentenced to the territorial prison for embezzle- ment, will be held here as witness until after the trial.

 II. The prohibition party asks the cooperation of all thoughtful citizens who believe in the betterment of hu- man conditions; the more even distri- button of wealth; a better protection of society; the overthrow of munich pal corruption the enactment of just laws protecting the humblest citizen in all his rights; the protection of homes from the spoilation of vice; and the building of a greater and better nation. We confidently submit to an intelligent electorate, the policy of first removing debasing and contam- mating influences from the path of the citizen, as the surest, safest and speediest method of securing his CO., operation in all governmental reforms.

SCA1TERS BAD PAPER
 WITH A LAVISH HAND
4 Man Who Promoted Mining Activity By Mnans of an Irregular Certified Check

A gentleman arriving in Phoenix Sunday accompanied by his wife and registering as Mir. and Mrs. C. Bur roughs of New York at the Hotel Adams, has stirred up considerable activity in several directions, owing to his extensive dealings and the ut teriug of paper which was no good and on which he attempted to obtain both money and mines. The sheriff s office was informed of his operations and 1t is possible that his arrest may follow this morning for obtaining $25 from the hotel on check on a OskaIoosa, Iowa, bank, which it is sus- pected Is no more valuable than the others which he issued. He was to have settled this matter last night by eight o'clock, was given an hour long CT, but had not yet come through, though he promised to do so today.
 His most colossal deal however, was the purchase of the Old Gri1alva mine, now known as the Coarse Gold mine, owned by Goldberg Bros. and others and a very promising property, which fell through because the certi- fled checks for s10,000 on a bank in Des Moines, Iowa, were forgeries. Burroughs after his arrival posed as a mining man who represented eastern capital. and was here for the purpose of examining a property in the WICK enburg district. He spent his money freely about the hotel and bar. as long as 1t lasted and when that gave out he began to spend other peoples. He scattered tips about him with 6 lavish hand and was no piket. He formed number of acquaintances to whom he confided the information that he was looking for mining property. MT. Smith a colored man, who Is the prop rIetor of the Smith Hotel, knowing something of the old Grijalva mine' where a strike had just been made. di- rected him to Goldberg Bros. Aaron Goldberg at the time was already on his way to San Francisco. where on party was considering buying the property.
 Burroughs is a well built, nice ap- bearing man of 30 years, and Dave Goldberg, whom he met, had no req son to believe that he was other than he represented himself to be. mere fore negotiations were opened the mine was inspected and Burroughs express ed himself as well Satstleu "ith oo'ii the ore showings and the price. Aaron Goldberg was telegraphed to return from California as good rpurchase, was on the ground. TWO certi1leu checks were given in payment ana to all intents and purposes the deal was considered closed.
 A few days later Burroughs tried 10 cash two checks for $250 each signed by himself, at the Valley Bank but they were taken for collection and the bank was wired. The answer came that they were worthless and that Burroughs was a dangerous man; About inc same time it came to light that the certified checks in the mining deal ,were forgeries.. owing 7 to the fact that na one was hurt thereby. 1t is moi likely that prosecution will fol- low for these acts. In extenuation or

his alleged crooked conduct Burroughs claims that he is waiting for tele- grams from the east which will straighten up matters. A telegram was sent last night to the bank in Os- kaloosa, Iowa, to learn whether the check given the Adams is also worth less. It is not expected that a reply will be received before today as the bank had already closed when the in quiry was telegraphed. If the money is made good and the board bill of some thirty dollars settled, it is likely that the matter will be dropped.

PAPAGO INDIANS
 ATTACK MEXICANS

Tuscon, Ariz., July 24.-In a desper- ate battle between Mexican troops and Papago Indians last Tuesday at the Imaculada ranch, a mining camp in the Alter district of Sonora, 19 Indians and two soldiers were killed and five sol diers were wounded.
 The euncounter resulted from an at tempt to return the Indians to their reservation. The Papagos are unusual ly peaceful, but many complaints of depredations upon ranches by this band caused the government on two pre- vious occasions to send troops to sub due them. The Indians fled to the mountains both times
 The present expedition, under Cap tain Baron, with 60 soldiers, surprised an Indian village. The soldiers found no one in camp but two boys, as the remainder of the population were gathering cactus fruit in the hills. The soldiers set fire to the houses and the Indians rushed to the rescue of their homes.
