Old Man Arrested.

Charles Miller. an old timer in this vicinity, who has gone the alcohol route too long and often. was arrested yesterday by C0nstale Bailey of Lo. well on the complaint of J. A. Potteet. It seems that Miller uEed to work for the latter man and that they have h srudge of long standing between them. This dislike was rather offensiveIy ex- pressed yesterday afternoon by the accused, who was in a state of intoxi- cation. It is said that he threatened and abused Potteet at the Bank saloon bar where both were drinking. The charge lodged was disorderly con. duct Miller was placed in jail to sober up a bit, and it is possible that the affair will go no farther.

to be his belief that Judge Doan of Tombstone would severely censure anyone who should commit a boy to the reform school on such fiismy pre- text. Witnesses galore were intro duced to show that the Fuller lad had always enjoyed high reputation, and that he had been admired for the way in which he worked to support his widowed mother. On account of her age the little Pemberton girls story of the alleged attempt at crime upon the part of the accused boy could not be heard in evidence. The whole case was based upon the hearsay evidence of the truant offer and the little girls mother. The justice warmly asserted after he had dismissed the case. that the only proper punishment for the box, if he were guilty as charged, would be a good sound thrashing at the hands of the school teacher and a second installment after he had reached home.

it from the present congress. This con-
fidence is based on declarations made
in recent political platforms. favorable
consideration hitherto given to efforts
of the territory to obtain admission by
the house of representatives and the
seemingly growing sentiment in favor
OF early admission on the part OF the
senate"
The population of the territory is

IiOnaire's Wife

NEW YORK, Dec 21-eWhat 1t
Costs to Defend a Separation Suit in
High Life" is the title of statement
given out at Mineola, L. l., today by
counsel for W. Could Brokaw, whose
wife is suing him for separation with
alimony of 100000 a year. The tabu-
lated items follow:

L viii show added John r. McIn-
tyre, Brokaw's lawyer, that Mr.. Bro
kaw's income is not $4,000 year. He
has been a generous spender, prince
of hosts; he has never engaged in any
regular business and his income has
dwindled greatly"
Brokaw did not take the stand in his
own defense today, though he was pre-
pared For half an hour before Justice
Putnam mounted the bench Brokaw
paced the gravel walk in front of the
courthouse, apparently rehearsing tes-
timony he expected to give. But when
court convened there was change of
plans. Buffers, MAIDS and more of the
many physicians employed to tune the
tangled nerves of the alienated couple
testified for the husband
For the first time since the trial be-
gan Mrs. Brokaw was plainly out OF
countenance. Her mother, Mrs. James
A. Blair, is severely i'll with pneumonia
at Westchester, her health undermined
by the publicity OF the trial, and the
continued mention of cigarettes and
cocktails in the evidence plainly irri-
tated the plaintiR.
Mrs. Brokaw moved uneasily in her
seat and took copious notes during
Doctor Pou's testimony. When recess
came she rushed back of the jury, box
and confronted the physician.
'Oh, doctor, why did you say all
that? Did you not know that mail
was two cablegrams for Mr.. Brokaw?
You said / started the quarrels. On.

There, there" her counsel admon-
ished her. Don't make a scene, Mrs.
Brokaw"
and charges that l whipped maids. and
then all this. I'm so sick, Mr.. Bald
win" Mrs Brokaw cried.
Sidney Woods, a butler, who swore
yesterday that somebody lashed Mrs.
Brokaw's maid, Miss See, with horse
whip, and that Mrs. Brokaw knew
who, testified today that he usually
mixed cocktails daily for Miss See, who
disappeared with them in the direction
of Mrs. Brokaws room-
Olga Olender, a maid, swore that she
had served Mrs. Brokaw with port wine
in her room. She testified that she had
heard Mrs. Brokaw venture on mild
profanity and one of her tasks was to
clean cigarette stubs out of Mrs Bro
kaw's bathroom.
DR. Robert Pou testified that he had
heard Mrs. Brokaw swear at her hus-
band and that she had applied to him
one of the epithets which, she COM
planned in her testimony. he had ap-
piled to her in calling him liar
