Tempe Department
 F.w. GRIFFIN. Manager

mark O. D. Merrill and Walter Hill of Mesa had a close call yesterday morning near Lehi. They were return ing from a trip to the mountains and venturing across opposite Lehi, found after it was too late that there was more water than they had calculated upon. The horses were carried off their feet and practically everything in the wagon swept away. They finally managed to effect a landing half a mile down the river but on the same side from which they started. Dry land looked good to them though. and they were thankful to escape with their lives They drove on down to the railroad bridge and leaving the team there, crossed over to Tempe and went on home by rail.

HUNsAKER CLOSES BIG SALE.

Who says that advertising dOeSn [ pay? A. Hunsaker yesterday closed one of the largest and most successful sales in the history of his business The sale was widely advertised, and it was no doubt, in great measure, due to this fact that the goods were closed out so satisfactorily. Between 715 and TAO pairs of shoes were sold out, which practically cleans out all of the spring stock. This also includes the sale of mems clothing and furnishings, and has made way for over one hundred and ten cases of new stock, which has just been received.

THE DEPOT MOVES.
It Was Raised to the Level of Cars Yesterday and Will be Loaded
 Today.

The moving of the old &,. X E. depot was started yesterday morning in a manner which leaves no doubt but that it is to be moved in a short time The bridge and building gang has been camped here for over q week making preliminary plans and doing such work as was necessary before the ac- tual moving could take place This having all been done. the attention of the full force was yesterday devoted to raising the building The plan is to jack it up to the level of flat cars then on a temporary platform, skid it oyer to the railroad track and onto cars. once it is placed on flat cars. it will be comparatively easy matter to take it to the new location. The track is fairly free from trees and oth- CT obstructions. It is expected that the depot will be ready to be loaded on cars by this evening

HELD 10 GRAND JURY
 FOR lHtFI OF CASH
The Result of an Over Indulgence in the Cup That Cheers.

Filiberta Rivera was yesterday held to the grand jury under a $500 bond by Justice Nielsen. It seems that on Sunday one Miguel Romero came down from Granite Reef, having with him a quantity of cash and a six shooter. Arriving here he forthwith loaded up on red eye and in a short time was in no condition to navigate. He had previously made arrangements for his return transportation to the reef an dleft here in a wagon late in the evening. He was accompanied, beside his driver, by Rivera. Arriving at his home, it was discovered that he was short the six shooter and fifty dollars he claimed he had when he left Tempe. Suspicion naturally fell upon Rivera who was taken into GUS tOdy. A search of his person develop ed nothing but the driver of the wag- on was a strong witness. He testified at the hearing yesterday morning to having seen Rivera put his hand in Romero's pocket. The evidence was somewhat circumstantial but never theless. it was considered sufficient to warrant the grand jury having chance at it. Rivera was accordingly bound over to await the decision of that body. He was unable to secure the necessary three hundred and Ian guishes in jail.

AN ATTACHMENT PROCEEDINGS.

Attachment papers were yesterday afternoon served on the household goods and such other things of value as could be found belonging to S. w. Quindt. Mir. Quindt has been employ ed for some time past with the Pioneer Market but left few days ago for Prescott, expecting Mrs. Quindt, who by the way is a bride of but a few weeks, to follow him in few days It seems, though, that a few debts of more or less size were left unsettled and when Mrs. Quindt packed up yes terday and prepared to follow her hus- band, her departure was prevented by the attachment proceedings.

They practically shut out other
roads with their double tracks, and
there is not clause in the ordinances

MORE MEN THAN JOBS.
Tampa Times.


1t is worth noting that advertise
ments in the metropolitan papers for
men to fill the places of street car
strikers in Chester. Pa. and Pensa-
cola. Fla. were answered by many
hundreds more men than were wanted.
These were not professional strike
breakers. but men qualified for the
work and needing it. The country has
arrived at that stage where there are
more men than jobs. and men who
quit their work should take the fact
into careful consideration. The mat
ter of being morally right in a de-
mand IS of less consequence than the
certainty of losing a job.
This condition is one of the natural
and ineVita BILE results of the peculiar
bry1Id Ct republican prosperity we
have been having lately, and while
it's authors are crimineFly wrong. that
does not weaken the hard fact. There
are for the time being more men than
there is work for them to do, taking
the country over. and it behooves the
men who are at work to weigh things
very CONSIDERABLY before they give
their employers a lawful chance to
make a clean sweep and put in stran-
gers at lower wages. This is but one
feature of the general case, and should
be considered as such. but in eX-
treme instances, such as those noted
above. it is about all there is in ii
for practical purposes. Hard times
are not good times for men to be mar
tyrs for the sake of principle. Some,
how principle does not provide so
many men with jobs or pay such good
wages in hard times as in flush times.

The Times believes that a large
majority of the democratic voters OF
Florida favor the nomination of w.
j. Bryan, and it challenges the right
OF any man to be a candidate for a
place on the delegation unless he
shall fully declare where he stands
on this point. If a majority of the
voters OF the state shall elect men
who declare themselves against the
nomination of Bryan we shall con-
fess our mistake. but we demand that

If the will of the majority of the
democrats of Florida is for the nom
ination of some other man. and that
other man is nominated. the Times
will acquiesce in the will of the ma
jority. But it has a right to know that
the democrats shall vote intelligent
ly at the primaries, and that their
votes shall be fairly returned. That
is all that friends OF Mr.. Bryan can
reasonably ask. and they will be con-
tented with no less. Every aSpirant
for the delegation to Denver shall

Bryan or be counted against him. If
the men against Bryan are elected.
that will be all right-but there shall

PROSECUTING COL. STEWART.

mit5 the deliberate injustice of its
treatment of Col w. F. Stewart, of
the artillery corps.
Colonel Stewart entered the army
as a second lieutenant of artillery in
1866 at the age of II. He does not re-
tire under the 81 years age limit I'M
til 1913 When an attempt was made
to persuade him to retire under the
4O-years' service law he refused I'M
less allowed to retire with the rank
of brigadier-general, which will be his
due if he is retired at 81 against his
wish by the president, according to
law
His refusal was the signal for the
war department to make longer SER
vice in the army as unpleasant as pos
Sible. A coast artillery officer, by
rank entitled to the command OF a

October to Fort Grant, to live alone

favor him by transferring him to the
deserted army post in Florida. Two
enlisted men will be assigned to the
barracks but there will be no troops
to command. It is the intention OF
the department to hold him marooned
there for several years unless he APP
plies for retirement.
Colonel Stewart may have serious
faults of temperament. which appears
to be the sum of the charges against
him. But the vindictiveness OF the
war department toward him because
he has acted entirely within his
rights is little short of contemplate.
If there really exist sound reasons for
not giving him a command, instead OF
prosecuting him the best way out OF
the difficulty would be simply TO or

The Banner
EvadeS the Issue.

The other day The Journal quoted
q glowing tribute to the south uttered
by Mr.. Bryan, in which he expressed
his gratitude to our section for its
fidelity to his political fortunes. In
commenting on 1t, we said that the
Times Union, the Ocala Banner, and a
few others I'm Florida could claim no
share of Mr.. Bryan7s gratitude, as
they took their politics from the New
York World, Mr.. Fnagler and other
enemies of the great democrat To
this, the Banner replies as follows:
No paper in Florida has been more
open in its opposition to the policy of
the New York World than the Ocala
Banner, and it's files win prove it. The
journal ought not to be dntolerant nor
lnntrBthful. Mr.. Flagler is too busy

was it our purpose to identify him
