of the municipality of Williams, which would have permitted them to proceed against sundry taxpay- CTS for collection of 1909 taxes. In stead of dissolving injunction the court continued injunction to the next term of court, which will prob ably convene in Flagstaff next March or April, 1910.
 Concerning legality of taxation ordinance, wherein the council had set apart mills for interest on bonded indebtedness of Williams, when inquiry was made of the court: ''If in meantime, between Nov. 23d and next term of court. there should be found any invalid provisions in said ordinance, then may a new ordinance of taxation be drafted?" The courts response was: "The court has not yet decided the validity of said ordinance, and would not so decide until the trial at the next term of court" How ever, in the courts mind if the tax ation of 4 mills was imposed for non existent fact, then it's elimina- tion tor other erroneous provisions of said taxation ordinance) would not necessarily invalidate said or dinance. It is interesting to know and a matter of fact that the Will- jams municipality has no bonded indebtedness, and further. such ob' ligation may not be incurred by independent aldermanic action. It may not occur save by concurrence of peoples affirmative vote. Should new taxation ordinance be passed by council for taxation this year the comic legal point would arise a to whether one part of the peo D le could be taxed under one ordi- na nee and another part under an oth sr ordinance; i. e., creating class disti uction. The fact is, 1909 is too near expired to promulgate a new ordin ance and comply with legal require ements and formalities inci-' dental tc, publication, assessment, equal ization. demand and penalty. Taxa ton ordinances in l9lO must prov idle fer taxation of that year only. The court awarded the hllng of a. new boyd by Dec. 4th, provld- ing for double amount involved un der considera tion.

Felony Charge Dismissed

On motion of Dist. Attorney X. N. Sleeves the felony charge against Doncanio Trujillo was dismissed in police court Wednesday and the defendant was then fined $50 and costs for disturbing the peace.
 Trujillo is bartender in Quija- da's saloon. It is claimed that hs stabbed Gregorio Allinez, another Mexican. about ten days ago. The wounded man is said to be in a critical condition and doubts of his recovery has been entertained. The district attorney thought it best to dismiss the charge until more evidence is secured.
 The proprietor of the saloon will have 8 hearing today before Judge Rounseville on the charge of running disorderly house. The other charges for which Quijada must answer are for flashing 8 six shooter and not calling for police protection,at his place of business. The city council make revoke his saloon license.

THE SICK WERE
 REMEMBERED

The sick, needy and poor were not overlooked in Williams this Thanksgiving. The church and lodge workers. in a good Samaritan n manner, hunted up the afflicted and saw to it that they were well provided with provisions and other comforts for Thanksgiving. s
 Mrs. Hannah Melin, who has been i'll for the past six weeks with a cancer of the stomach and is in a serious condition. Dr. Jeffries says that she may live three months or three years, but from her present condition it is expected she will not last long unless an operation is performed. It is understood that Mrs. Dermont and Mrs. Dufield are interested in her welfare and owing to Mrs. Melin's being al most penniless it is we'll that these generous ladies are looking out for her.
 It is a pathetic case. Mrs. Melin has labored for the last five years from 5 o'clock in the morning un- til midnight. washing, ironing and doing house cleaning for other people. With the assistance of her fourteen year old son, Oliver, she has managed to make a living for herself and four children.
 Mrs. Perrin furnished a turkey for Mrs. Melin, which was cooked by Mrs. Mcdonald Robinson. A committee from the young ladies Sunday school class presented the turkey dinner, together with a lot of roses, to the unfortunate family

 THE BACK SIDE

City Attorney Geo. W. Glowner who returned from Prescott We'd nesday evening. where he went to defend the city in the tax injunc- tion case before Judge Doe, in an interview with THE NEWS stated tha t the case was not heard at all. "The reason why it did not come up," said Attorney Glowner, "was that in the first place the court held the bond filed by the petitioners for Injunction to restrain from paying the city tax was void."
 "In the second place the com plaint was so leaky that it would not hold at all. It did not ven con tain as much as to state tr.e cause of action."
 "The bond being void and the complaint defective rendered the writ of injun ction invalid. nd the court held tt SO. The court how ever granted the plaintiffs in the action te n days ip which to patch up their: leaky papers. The court also stated that the case again would not be heard until it con venes in Coconino county"
 "In the uIean time the city tax collector ay proceed to collect the taxes as Pr escribed by law.
 Il can see nothing but victor y for the city in the matter" sai, Attorney Glowner. "We won every point befo re the court at Prescott, where on ly the validity of the bond and papers were argued. 1 feel con6d ent that if the papers are fixed in p, 'oper shape by plaintiffs alto. neY a nd the case comes up for '.rgument in the court the writ of will be knocked out"

Lambs Barn Goes Up In Smoke

A frame barn, belonging to Esau Lamb. at the rear of his residence on Grant Ave, was discoverd to be in flames about 9:3O o'clock Tues day evening. The alarm was given and the hose and plenty of yolun- teers were there. Two streams of water was turned on the flames to check them, and save the surround ing frame buildings:
 The water supply was good and although the barn was in flames completely when the water was turned on it was but few minutes when the fire was under control of the volunteer fire fighters and the homes of those living within a few feet of the burning building were safe. Had it not been for the good water supply chances are that the several homes in the block would have been destroyed.
 The barn was used for a store room and contained a small SUD- ply of alfalfa hay and lot of other truck. The origin of the fire is un- known, but is suspected that a spark from a stove pipe of one of the near by honses caused it.
 The total loss to MT. Lamb is about five hundred dollars with only two hundred dollars insure nce
