SHEEP HEALTHIER THAN
EVER IN THEIR HISTORY
tFrom Wednesday, Daily,

!
That sheep are healthier and of bet
ter grade this year than ever befor,
since the starting Of the wool industry
In northern Arizona, was the declaration
made yesterday by DIR. r. W. A. wilke.
OF the bureau Of animal industry to a
Journal.Miner representative.
Since left here in April" Dr.
Wilkes said, al have examined over
100000 sheep and am pleased to state
THAI the nocks are healthier and freer
OF disease this year than ever before.
With the exception Of q little scab in
the hocks Of Apache county that were
imported this year from New Mexico,
there Is practically no disease among
the sheep Of northern Arizona.
81 attribute the healthy condition Of
the hocks to the fall dipping Of last
year. Scab and other diseases were
prevalent until this year. II was hard
work on the part Of the inspectors and
sheep owners to eradicate the sheep
diseases, but II has been done and done
web. Sheep owners are well pleased
with the results and assist the inspect
ors every way possible TO keep the
nocks healthy. With q dipping Of the
sheep In the northern counties Of the
territory in September there is every
reason to anticipate healthy sheep
next year.
al will be In Apache county soon 90
inspect some hocks afflicted with scab.
I understand these have been imported
from New Mexico. With a good dip.
ping I believe the disease will disap.
pear.
"Sheep owners have improved their
aocks in the last three years. This u
true Of almost all engaged in the wool
industry. c. G. Hutchinson and Colin
Campbell have done a great deal in the
way Of importing better grades. Their
locks are among the best in northern I
Arizona. Both are ready TO make lamb
shipments Of very high grade to the
Kansas City markets.
"Generally speaking, the industry Is
very prosperous this year and those
in it correspondingly happy.
Wool and mutton prices are higher
han usual and the prices received for
pring lambs are even better than an.
icipated. Some Arizona wool sold as
Ugh as "a cents a pounds this year
md the feeces Of some OF the largest
locks sold at an average Of 20 cents a
,ound."
DIR. wilkes left on the afternoon
rain for northern Arizona. He has
inished the inspection Of the hocks
low in southern Yavapai county, some
4 which are being shipped to the Kan.
rs City markets. A large number Of
heep are being driven to Coconino
ounty for shipment. He will be de-
aimed there some time inspecting the
ocks as they are driven on the ma
ional forests and those being shipped.

relied upon by the plaintiff in error 4.
'hat the supreme court Of the Territory
erred IN affirming the Judgment Of the
triai court, in refusing to submit 20 the
'iai jury the issues Of former acquit
tai and jeopardy, and by holding as a
matter OF law that neither Of those
pleas raised questions to be passed up.
on by the jury. Section s7s Of the
renal Code Of Arizona recognizes pleas
OF guilty, not guilty, former Judgment
OF conviction or acquittal, and once in
jeopardy, while Section s94 Of the code
defines issues Of fact as arising upon
plea Of not guilty, former conviction
or acquittal Of the same offense. and
once in jeopardy. The code, Section
800 also provides that issues Of fact in
Felony cases must be tried by a Jury,
and Section 97l lays down the pro.
eedure that upon n plea Of former con.
viction or acquittal of the same Of.
Tense, the verdict il either for the
Territory or for the defendant.
We are IN accord with the supreme
court Of the Territory In holding that
better practice demanded that the
trial court should have instructed the
jury to return verdicts upon the special
pleas interposed. But as the record
shows that the evidence in support Of
the pleas was undisputed, consisting, as
It did, principally OF records, the suf.
hciency Of the pleas was resolved into |
a question Of law, which necessarily
called upon the court for a declaration |
OF the legal effect Of such evidence. |
The decision was that the pleas were
not sustained, because the ofYense for
which the defendant was then on trial
was a different one from that for
which the defendant had been tried
before. This was correct as far as Il
went, so that the essential point is
merely whether the court denied to tie
defendant a substantial right in omit.
ing the formslity Of directing a yer.
iict in conformity with its decision.
Certainly, to have called for n yer.
iict would have been obedience to a
tatutory mode Of proceeding upon the
rial, but rs there was no possible room
or any finding by the jury except one
conforming TO the decision OF the court,
md which pertained TO an ultimate le.
'al effect, the omission to follow the
node Of procedure prescribed could not
ave tended to the prejudice Of the de.
endsnt, and therefore is within the
urview Of Section liza Of the Penal
ode Of Arizona, which provides that,
neither q departure from the form
mode prescribed in respect to any
leading or proceedings, nor any error
r mistakes therein, shall render the
ame invalid, unless il shall have nc.
ually prejudiced the defendant or
ended to his prejudice in respect to a
nbstantial right"
The supreme court of the Territory,
the statute Of Arizona, so
ED, and we see no substantial reason
, decide otherwise. Sweeney vs..

Each season the Shriners of South

tertainment, the proceeds for admis-
sion being used for some deserving
charity or the boosting of Southern
California and the work of the shrine.
This year they have broken away
from the stereotyped amusements OF
fered and have selected one of the best
entertainments to be secured in Amer
lea, the blending of Shakespeare's ro-
nance, tragedy, comedy and fantasy
with delightful music, as presented py
the Ben Greet Players, under this
greatest of all modern stage managers,
and the Russian symphony orchestra
of New York city, with Modest Ait
schiller conductor, which complnatlon
has won the admiration ana patronage
of theatergoers all over the United
States.
The appearance of either of these
organizations would be an event I'M
portant enough to draw a large at

music and drama is so unusual tnat IL

Large concourse of Friends Attend

One of the largest funerals ever held
in Los Angeles was that of Joseph +.
Maier. which was held yesterday after
noon at the family home, 1905 South

The floral tributes probably were the
largest ever assembled at one funeral
in Los Angeles, eight express wagons
being necessary to convey them TO
the cemetery. A floral piece represent
ing a broken wheel, sent by the en-
ployes of the Maier brewery, is the
| largest ever made in Los Angeles, ana
stood twelve feet high.
Rev. Baker p Lee of Christ Episco-
pal church conducted the service at
the house, reading the regular Episco-
pal service for the dead. Following
the ritualistic service he eulogized the
life of Mr.. Maier.
Large representations from the Elks,
Masons, Eagles, Native Sons and the
Turnverein were in attendance and
marched in body to Rosedale ceme-
terry, the sections of the cortege being
three blocks in length.
A band of forty pieces headed the
procession. An orchestra and quartet
from the Elks rendered selections dur
ing the service.
At the grave the Elks rendered the
impressive burial service of the order
in which Rev. Baker P. Lee, member,
participated, and at it's finish the cof-
fin containing the body of Mr.. Maler
rested in it's grave.
The vault in which the body lies was
literally filled with the floral tributes

Dollars

The Aero club of California voted
last night to offer prize of $1,000 to
