A special from Elkins says that
petition in bankruptcy has been filed
in court to force the Elkins Brewing
company into involuntary bankruptcy.
The plant is valued at quatsr of a
million. Tine action was taken by A. Es
Shaw, of Fairmont, who has been pres
ident of the company since its organi-
cation. The fact that Elkins voted dry
at the recent city election 10 thought
to have caused the action to be taken.
The brewery has been closely affiliated
with other brewing interests in the
state, notably those at Grafton and
Fairmont, but none of the others are
involved In any way.

A report on April I by the Fourth
Assistant Postmaster shows that rural
delivery serviceis now in operatian on
40,02s routes having been established
on April /. This is significant, in view
of the statement in the annual report
Of the department, datsi November 20,
1902, that the territory available for
rural delivery embraces about zoe ,oU0
square miles and that reasonable es-
innate places the entire force Of carriers
at 40, 900 when the extension of service
will have been completed. 1t is esti-
mated that the area now covered by ru-
raj delivery service is about 100000
square miles, but as evidenced from Il c
applications perning, there still re-
mains unserved territory. The territory
available for rural delivery was.greatly
Increased by the admission ofthe state
of Oklahoma into the Union and by
the extensive settlement of Western
Texas. Five hundred routes will be rs
tablished May | and 100 routes June | !,
which will leave 1886 applications I'M
acted on.

FICTITIOUS PAPER@The pol

FICTITIOUS PAPER@The police have been asked to look for a man who passed a worthless check on J. D. Martin yesterday The paper was for sl2.50. and was drawn on the Phoenix National bank. The name signed to it was w. H. Harrington. He was described as rather thin. dark man, of about 30 years of age. Another check for the same amount. and also signed by Harrington, was presented at Goldberg's. where pay ment was. refused The individual presenting this one was of the sandy type, so it is probable that there were two check artists working to- gether.
 THE FIRST ExEcUTioN-Form invitations have been issued by the superintendent of the territorial pris- on to those required by law to at tend. to be present at the penitentiary on January and witness the exc cution of Jose Lopez who it is ex- pected will be the first man to be hanged in the new institution. The mother of the condemned man made application to Governor Sloan a few days ago for a communication of his sentence to life imprisonment. but no action was taken, and it is not ex- pected there will be any other pro- cedure to interfere with the fulfill ment of the sentence.
 HE RESIGNED-It is so seldom that q man resigns from office with out being asked that it is real news item One of the few men who have thus distinguished them selves is John Doan, and when his resignation was handed to Governor Sloan as a notary public for Pima county there was consternation in official circles. until his motive be- came known. That was not long however. for on the heels of hit resignation came an application for appointment to a similar position of trust and honor in Cochise county He is now a citizen of Douglas. which is a considerably larger place than Silverbell. and he only wanted to trade one good job for a better one He got what he wanted

Apostoles was dismissed.

 REiSS CARNIVAL CO. COMING, | L. Peyser. advance agent for the Nat Reiss carnival company arrived here yesterday to arrange for the opening of carnival week in Phoenix on January 3. MT. Reiss is we'll known here as he has shown in Phoenix sev- eral times and once when circum- stances temporarily closed his business after long run of bad weather and hard luck. MT. Peyser says that since that time Mir Reiss has been doing well and now has a high class exhi- bition. a better one in fact than ever before. It is the present plans to make Phoenix the last date on the sea sons schedule and after the carnival week the company will disband for the present while the paraphernalia will remain here for d time for repainting and general overhauling for next sea sons business.
 GOT A NEW CARPET-At the earnest solicitation of Surveyor Gen eral Ingalls,, the United States of America has made him a Christmas present of a brand-new carpet t>r his office in the capitol building. He said he pointed out to the government that if it didn't buy carpet he would have to, and he didn't want to. And now that he has got it, he is greatly pleased. and has reason to be, for it is fine one, a beautiful green. with small figure. that appeals to the generals artistic taste In fact. he is so pleased with the carpet that his friends would not be surprised to catch hia rolling on the floor some day in order to get the full benefit of it. lt is almost too pretty to walk on, and it has been sug- gested that the general should get some boards to put down between the door and his desk. so visitors will not soil it.

He was given temporary, attention and sent home to Phoenix. on the noon train, where the family physi- ciah dressed. the wounds Though very painfully injured. it is not un- derstood that his hurts will perma- nently cripple the hand.

If built. this line now under discussion will be designed 10 bring coal to central Arizona at q cheaper price than now, a consum- nation devoutly to be wished More than that, though. Mir. Mauk says that if such a line is built it will probably be extended to Denver also. or at least would connect with Dem yer direct via the Gould lines. That would mean through passenger serv- ice from Denver to Phoenix and other central Arizona points.
