AUTO MAIL ROUTE
 IS A GREAT SUCCESS
CFrom Sundays paIlyl

George Conard, the mail carrier be- tween Prescott and Juniper, gives a very interesting account of the Op- eratiOn of the new service he has recently introduced, and says that it is a flattering success in every way. He says that up to the present time he has travelled with his auto $40 miles, and for that distance not a mishap has taken place. He has averaged ten miles an hour and could have doubled the speed if it had been necessary.
 Yesterday his wagon went into a foot of water near the American ranch and after that was passed through the wheels dug into six inches of mud, the scheduled speed being maintained on both occasions.
 On leaving Prescott yesterday for Juniper he had a load of HOO pounds of freight and two passeH- gers, but he pulled into Simmons on schedule time, and reached Jumper also on the dot. He is elated over the method of transporting mail, and is saving s1.5O per day over the old horse and wagon method of handling freight and mail.
 While at the American ranch of J. H. Lee yesterday he says that a eloudburst occurred and the down pour reached the big lake, filling it. The lake now covers 16O acres of surface water. Previous to this down pour was getting low.
 The roads leading to Juniper are in fair condition, MT. Conard says, and when the rainy reason ends and the county gets to work with it's grading machine, they will be the finest highways in central Arizona.

PRESIDENT TAFT MAY
 INCLUDE PRESCOTT

Governor Sloan and other prom inent Arizonans are preparing to well come President Taft when he reaches the territory.
 Nothing definite as to the presi- dents visit is given out except that he will stop at the Grand Canyon on October 14th.
 President Taft is due to reach Los Angeles on the llth and to remain but one day there. Governor Sloan suggests that he leave on the even ing of the 18th for Phoenix, reaching the capital about noon of the 18th, via the Southern Pacific route. A daylight view would thus be given of the Salt River valley, and in ehding a daylight ride, to Prescott. From Prescott to the Grand Canyon night trip could be made, the president reaching the rim about sun rise. It is the presidents s intention to reach Albuquerque on the evening of the 18th, from which place he goes to Fl Paso, Texas
 The itinerary as now arranged pro vides that the route from Los An geles will be via the Santa Fe direct to the Grand Canyon, nearly the en- tire distance being eoevered in the night time. After considering the time and the distance via the South ern Pacific, Governor Sloan yester- day stated that the latter route would take little if any longer and would in no way interfere with the schedule as adopted. '.' .i
 It is the earnest desire of Ari- zona's executive, supported by many in Prescott, that the president of the nation should be permitted to see the most desirable part of the territory, instead of being compelled to pass through in the night time the desert wastes and uninhabitable portions. It will be remembered that when the late President Mckinley reached Phoenix he was taken to the Congress mine, remaining but few hours, and then returned to the Capital City, resuming from that point his western trip. That it would be desirable time for President Taft also to see the big producer in operation, is suggested, the time consumed in no way interfering with the journey to the north:
 Prescott has never in it's history had the honor of receiving a presi- dent, although many of them have passed through the territory on the main lines of railroads. It is sug- gested that is an. excellent time to mould the trip from the south to the north of the president, contingent of course upon its receiving the ap- proval of those in charge. By proper representations this can be accom- plished. s'

THE TERRY MIX IS
 AIRED IN COURT
From Sundays Dailyl

| VT IOm ouHudy DdlIy
 Yesterday evening, the family troubles of J. B. Terry were aired before Judge Farley, and the charges preferred against him by "Short- Fingered Billy" were dismissed. The former is alleged to have slugged the latter, on MOntezuma street, Fri day afternoon, while under the i'm pression that Billy had alienated the affections of Terry's wife.
 On taking the witness stand to support his complaint, Billy admitted riding around town and Fort Whipple for three hours with Mrs. Terry, and afterwards returning her to her home. He also said the woman in formed him that she was single.
 Terry told a long, doleful tale, saying that on Sunday night after he went into the coffee house near the Masonic Temple, that his wife "flew the eoop.' He then started to hunt her up, but was unable to find her. Three or more hours pass ed, and when she got home a big TOW occurred. She then left the place. The next morning "Three Fingered Billy" and Mrs. Terry appeared at the house, the latter demanding her trunk. He met Billy and peremptor- fly ordered him out of the yard. Mrs. Terry .then went to the O. K. res taurant and started to work as waitress. This was much objected to by Terry, but his persuasive entreat- ies to desist availed nothing.
 Terry said that he had been mar ried less than one month, and up to this time all had been lovely.
 A man named Darrough, who rush ed from Glendale to the rescue of Terry, also testified as to the char aeter of Terry and Mrs. Terry, the latter known as Miss. Fike before her marriage. He says that Terry was an honorable man and so regard ed at Glendale. His wife was also member of the Dunkard church, and most earnest and ardent worker among the people.
 Nothing specific was proved as to the relations of FShOrt Fingered Billy" and the woman, and Judge Farley discharged Terry.
 In connection with this celebrated family jar, the statement that was published yesterday evening assOei- ating Mrs. Liner with the Terry's, is emphatieally denied by that lady. Mrs. Liner is Mrs. Mollie Edgar, and she says that she never met or spoke to the girl, and does not de- sire to enter the controversy in any manner, and further says that she did not authorize the publication of the interview.
 Yesterday morning Ezra and Goldy Fike, brother and sister, respective ly, of Mrs. Fike, arrived in Prescott from Glendale. This morning they will return home, and with them will go MT. and Mrs. Terry. The little god Love got there again with both feet, the pin feathers are smOothed back into their old places, all's well that ends well, and down goes the curtain.
