ANCIENT HISTORY
IS REC|TED IN
SUPREME COURT
Administrator OF Estate in This
County Wants Possession
of Two Lots in Benson Val
uer at $40, 900.

Referring to cases on appeal TO the
Supreme court, the Phoenix Republi-
can has the following observation of
an interesting case from Cochise coua-
ty, the report of which appeared in
these columns at the time of the trial
in the district court at Tombstone:
The papers in the appeal OF C. Z.
Cummings, administrator, against NJ.
Rosenberg and others also came up
from Cochise. This action runs back
into ancient history. In 1881 Antonio
Perretti was the owner of a couple of
lots in the town of Benson, the lots
being portion of the sand waste
which existed in that locality at that
time and for many years afterward.
In 1885 these lots in some way, not
described in either the complaint or
the answer, passed into the possession
of Rosenberg who proceeded to make
certain improvements upon them and
who afterward disposed of them to 9TH
er parties who were made defendants
in this action.
Perretti died about the time he secuT-
ed title to the property and no interest
appears to have been taken in the mat
ter until about 1897 when an admins
traitor of his estate appeared and de-
manded possession. That admin.stra-
tor, so far as the papers show, was
lost sight of and last year Cummings
VINO had been made administrator be-
gan action for possession of the proper
ty and for rents amounting to $780,
The defendants demurred and an
swered. They said that for ten years
they had enjoyed peaceable and ad-
verse possession of the property before
any demand had been made upon them
and for ten years thereafter; that
Rosenberg when he took possession of
the lots believed that he had a valid
title to them and proceeded with im-
provements which have cost $4,000.
All the time previous to 1897 when the
first demand for possession was made
the plaintiff had stood around watch
ing these improvements without pro-

this morning the condition of the in- Jured boy was said to be serious.
 Both boys attended the parochial school connected with the Church of Sts. Peter and, Paul, at Berry and South Streets, and were pupils in the class of Miss May Tierney. The stab bing occurred in the presence of her and about five other pupils.
 According to Brogan, he refused to help Curry work out an example. and the latter threatened to thrash him. Brogan at the time was using a paper cutter. and when after a short strug- gle Brogan. with a shrill scream, fell to Ahe floor, Miss Tierney managed to quiet the panic stricken boys and sent one for Hugh Lorraine. the janitor.
 In the meantime she seized Curry. who managed to wiggle out of her grasp and lied to his home. The jam 1tor carried young Brogan to the hos pitaI where it was first feared his heart had been pierced, and the Rev. John. Fannity hurried to the hospital and administered the last rites.
 Curry was arrested by the police of the Bedford Avenue Station and later taken to the shelter of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chill dren. He maintained that the quarrel was over the paper cutter, and that when he grabbed 1t the point was ac- cidentaly plunged into the breast of Brogan.
 Curry was held to await the result of Brogan's injuries.

THE FATE OF YARN
FINAL HEARING OF HABEAs COR-
 PUS TODAY.
Question Of Whether Wealthy Naval Stores Man Win Return To Flor Ida For Trial To Be
 Decided.

Pensacola, Fla, Jan. 5.--(SpeciaLl-- W. w. Yarn, charged with wife deser- tion, Is to have final hearing tomor- row at El Paso. Texas, and 1t will be known whether or not the millionaire naval stores dealer is to return to this county to be tried upon the charge.
 Yarn was arrested upon the warrant of the Governor of Texas, who hon- ored the application of the Governor of Florida for an extradition, but the defendant commenced habeas corpus proceedings, and these will not con- clude until tomorrow when they come up for a final hearing. The defense of Yarn in these proceedings Is that he did not desert his young wife in Flor ida for the reason that he was not g resident of this State, but that she left his home in Alabama. He claims that not being a resident of the State that he cannot be charged with deser- tion of his family.
 Sheriff Van Pelt, who went to Texas after Yarn, and who returned when the latter obtained his temporary re- lease under the habeas corpus proceed ings, will return to Texas after Yarn if he is held by the courts there, but will remain here until he receives defi- nite information. The sheriff has em- ployed two attorneys to represent him in the case, and is making every eff fort to bring the wealthy naval stores dealer here to stand trial upon the charge. Two weeks ago when he left Texas, where he had gone after Yarn. the sheriff says that Yarn met him at the train upon his departure and in sinuated that M would not be well for the sheriff to return as he (Varn). was a pretty good shot. The case has ex- cited more interest in Pensacola than has been known in any similar pro- ceeding in years.

FEARS FOR PRINCESS ROYAL.
Duchess of Fife Has Again Gone south
 for Her Health.

London. Jan. 5,--Grave fears are again expressed for the health of the Duchess of Fife, eldest daughter of the King, who, on the advice of physicians has gone to the south of Europe to remain until spring, The Duchess of Fife has never been very strong. A year ago last September she under went an operation as an outcome of severe complications following a chill. she has never entirely recovered from the operation and 1t Is an open secret that her condition Is now such as to cause much uneasiness among her fam fly and friends.
 To the public at large the Duchess Of Fife is almost a stranger. She Is one Of the most quiet, unaffected and unontrusive women in her fathers realm. She is devoted to her husband and two little girls and absolutely de- ciines to maintain any royal state. taking the ground that when she be. came the wife of the Duke of Fife she became freed from all the etiquette by which royalty Is environed. and at lib- erty to enjoy life as devoid of all re- straint as any ordinary peeress.

A CHILD's BEaUEsT.
Little Patient Wills His Pennies to
 Hospital Nurses


 Brooklyn. Jan. 5.--After suffering from rabies for two mOnths-part of the time at the Kings County Hospital Arthur Hennessy, 10 years old, of Bay and Ocean Avenues. died in agony yes terday.
 So intense were the sufferings of the child during the last forty hours that the physicians at the institution had to resort to the injecting of cocaine in the tissues of the boys throat in order to minister liquid food to him.
 During his confinement at the hospi- tai. Arthur has had many hours of de- lirium, but in all his sufferings he had borne himself like stolid soldier, of- tering words of praise to the doctors attending him, mingled with prayers for his parents.
 Seventy-fve pennies and a quantity of candy comprise the child's little es- tate, but to the hospital he has be- uueathed everything. There is no fear that the ehilds will will be contested, as Arthur was the beloved son of Will liam and Agnes Hennessy. His fond parents indulged the child in all his desires while he was i'll and were daily at his side.
 The child. after being bitten by a mongrel dog two months ago. was in- stantly taken to the county hospital, but he recovered so soon that he was able to go home. Last Tuesday he showed symptoms of hydrophobia and was conveyed to the hospital again. During New Years day he was in a high fever and continued to grow worse. hourly lapsing into periods of unconsciousness. The physicians strug- gled strenuously to stave off the fear full infiictiop, but the child yesterday became violent and died toward even- ing.
 The pennies that Arthur had gath cred together will be kept by the nurses and doctors who attended him. as souvenirs of the best little patient that ever received treatment at the hosBitaL

 It had been expected tnat the all1nu ance at the convention of saloon pro- prietors would be more numerous than it proved to be when finally, after o'clock. the designated hour. those press ent, in a private dining room of the High Life Cafe. began consideration of the matter which they had gathered to discuss. The proceedings were en- tireiy informal. no effort to effect a permanent organization being made; indeed, the temporary organization was slight and intended merely to fa- cilitate the proceedings of the after noon.
 The consensus expressed yesterday was not all in favor of an increase pr prices. One of the retailers present said that he would not cut figures at alI.Mas in his trade at least 1t was in- expedient: he declined to speak for others. Another retailer said if he raised prices he could not fairly conn pete with other dealers .n his vicinage.
 The most however. agreed that 1t was necessary to raise prices or quit the business. Brewers and distillers and jobbers.. they said. had raised prices: rentals of saloons had risen. wages of bartenders and helpers were larger. They believed. they stated, that the advancement of prices would not seriously affect the usual distribution of patronage. even where there was difference in the schedule of charges.
 The retailers yesterday disclaimed any plan to attempt to form tiny trust Of their own to control prices. There is to be no binding agreement as to what will be the prices of the commodities they sell. no penalties imposed for low ering or raising prices. They were merely mutually advisory board; they discussed the matter thoroughly and summarized their opinions in the scheds ule of prices thev expect to charge. ,
 Bulletins announcing the prices will be printed and distributed today among the retailers in the fire district, who may or may not post them in their sa- looms. The distribution of the cards will be the only means of effect;ng a general use of the new schedule.
 The elimination of free lunches was talked of yesterday. but no decisive re- marks on the subject were made.
