FRIDAY, MAY II
der o! the week

The prosecution in the Magon, Nil- lsreal and Rivers case succeeded ip introducing s large number of letters eminating from the organizing junta oi the Mexican Liberal Party &, St. Louis, signed hy Msgon and addressed to Espinosa, Pablo and others of the Arzons junta
 Attorney Cleary made strenuous ob- jections to the introduction of the let ters, but was oyerruled. All the let ters treated of the plans of the pro posed revolution and attacks on the various Mexican cities nesr the bor- der. A significant feature was the warning not to molest Americans, as the consequences would inju-e the cause. Many patriotic appeals were made to strike for the political and in- dustrial freedom Of Mexico, while cir culars were to be secretly distributed among the Mexican soldiers that would cause them to shoot into the air instead of killing the invaders.
 The letters were those intercepted at Douglas st the time oi the raid on the iunts by the Arizona Rangers in 1906.
 Today \. T. Ssmuels of st/Loais, advertising manager of "The Reeen- sracion," was again pu; "n the stand. The government offered copy of the organ of the junta in evidence. At. torney Clesry objected, ss it was in Spanish, ard asked to have it trans lated. This was finally done by Court Interpreter Michelens who read trans- istions Of the party propaganda.
 Ranger John Clark of Nogsles iden- tifei papers and letters secured by Lieutenant Olds and other Rangers at the Douglas raid. Objection to the introduction of the letters was over ruled. One of the letters said iu psft. "Be sure 100 men can take Ncgales;" also, "rememoer Roosevelt will do all he can to aid his ally, Diaz."
 A tilt between the attorneys over the signatures of the documents added interest and zest to the proceedings. Clark was or the stand oyer an hour.
 Judge Dosn, vexed at the delays oc- casioned through unnecessary qrs. tioning Of witnesses, cautioned the l counsel that the time and expense of | tte court was nst to be needle.siy l wssted.
 c. A. Sherr, manager of tfe Postal | Telegraph Go. at Douglas, was called but did not shed much light on tel. egrsm sought to be introduced.
 Immigration Inspector Cornell wac recalled to identify telegram csp- tured at Douglas. The interpreter was sgain called to verify the translstions, Shich were introduced after the usual objections. The telegram referred to and delay of date of the proposed invasion.

Beef Cattle Bring
 Good Returns

Owing to the high price of cattle
 and sheep nearer home. buyers from every part of the west are now in

 Cattle have advanced 9 per cent in price ali along tine line. Fat cattle are exceedingly scarce and mediocre grades are now bringing as much az prime beef ordinarily brings.
 The Gazette says that prime steers are Ieing cold in Phoenix for S4 50 per hundred pounds. The Hackett meat market sold four carloads to one of the Denve! buyers at that price and they were shipped out. Louis Degen and A. Basherman bought ten car.

 Degen and Bssherrnsn are looking or 5000 range cows to ship east: Cattle are 20 scarce that they are will ng to take almost anything. Cows lre bringing from B 2j to 1875.
 Los Angeis Is also infested with .at;ie buyers That has always been leading market fo- grass fed steers. The usual price has been S3.59, but LOW nothing is being sold for less han si, with stock scarce at that rice.
