from many of his friends yesterday over being successful in his late water suit, receiving this news yester- day. He says he has been a long time on that ground in Round valley, and will endeavor to hold it until the end comes or is flooded out of it. Nearing the End.
 Yesterday Fitzsimmons X Heating finished the brick work on the new school house in West Prescott, and the building will be turned over to the carpenters in a few days, when fhe finishing touches will be given and the structure will be made ready for the fall term. It is a splendid piece of work and its completion IS awaited eagerly by those of the west side
 Fixed the Deed.
 W. W. Cook, formerly a well known resident of this city, and a few years ago the sheriff of MaricOpa county, visited the city yesterday to assist John Smith in quieting title to the old Cook ranch, at the Point of Rocks. one of the early land marks of this section. This was per fected before the district court, and MT. Smith will have a clear title to the same henceforth.
 Thieves on Range.
 Reports yesterday from Seligman say that range thieves are at work in that section. Four animals have been stolen in the past few days, there, with the following descriptions: One iron gray stallion, branded IL and two bay mules branded OK, and one sorrel horse branded MIC. The stallion is the property of John Webb and the others belong to the E. C. Smith estate. Fifty dollars re- ward is offered for the return of the stallion. Generous Pioneer.
 Among the recent acts of kindness and showing the generous regard in which the late "Chloride Jack Owens is held, was that disposition shown yesterday by W. c. Parsons, the well known MeCabe mining man, who ordered a suitable headstone to be placed on the grave of the old pioneer, in remembrance of long years of friendship. The letter to this eff feet was received by Major Doran, and the order for this memento will be placed at once.
 Critical Condition.
 Reports received in this city yes terday from Phoenix say that E. E. Kirkland, the territorial treasurer, and formerly a resident of this city, were to the effect that he had sub mitted to an operation for appendi- citis, and that his condition was ser ious. In addition to that affliction it was also believed that he was a sufferer from cancer of the stomach. His wife, who is a sister of Clarence Jackson of this city, informed her brother to this effect.
 Speedy Event.
 Through the courtesy of Frank
 
 Foster of the Hill Hardware company, Messrs. George P. Harrington and Barney Smith, supervisors, and E. P. Hill, were taken to Williamson Val ley yesterday in an automobile. An inspection of the concrete ambank- ment was made by the supervisors at that point. The trip going was made in one hour and forty minutes, and the same time was clipped off in re- turning. The distance was twenty-six miles which, considering the road, was a good run. The greatest speed reach ed at any one place was near the American ranch, where thirty-fve miles an hour was shown on the reg ister of the machine.

 It is very probable that game of baseball will be played Sunday in this city between the Prescott Grays and the Williams nine. The latter is said to be a very strong aggregation and are desirous of contesting with any combination that can be got to- gether in this city. The Grays will line up for practice this afternoon.

 Engineer In Town.
 w. H. Mackay, engineer of the city water works at Del Rio, is in the city. He says that pumping is in full blast again to this city, and the railroad is being supplied as well along the Santa Fe. Ten ears of water are sent north each day, this number being less than usual, the Santa Fe disbursing these at Will jams, Ash Fork, Seligman and Grand Canyon for domestic uses. Their en- zine supply is secured through stor age dams at several places. This source is becoming diminished on ae- count of the absence of rain and it is expected that the former amount will soon be consumed. The ca paeity of the Del Rio springs remains stationary and not the least effect is shown through continuous pumping from them.
 Prominent Residents.
 George L. White, George H. Roh- peter, Thomas Crow and John Clock, all residents of the Agua Fria sec tion, are in the city, being in at tendance yesterday at the land suit before Commissioner Moore. MT. White had not been to the city for AWAY four x,aorv apd ranaivod a n-ar,,,

Mrs. Walker and son are also visiting that place, being the guests of friends. MT. Walker will return to them in a few days, and later resume his position on the road. Back to Bisbee.
 After three weeks visiting this see ton, F.. II. Clark, well known in southern Arizona mining circles, left last night for Bisbee. Mir. Clark says that Prescott is the prettiest city in Arizona, and that it's future is established through the magnificent mineral field that surrounds it. He expects to return here later, and has been to the Cherry creek region for several days.
 Family Rejoicing.
 Telephone messages received from Mayer yesterday were to the effect that Mrs. C. II. Cordes, the wife of the landlord of Cordes station, had given birth to a fine ten-pound boy, at that place. The happy father is the son of our tOwnsman, J. H. Cordes, and the latter, entering the grandfather column, feels very much elated over this honor.
