ATTACKED BY SKUNK AS HE SLEPT IN OPEN AIR
"BUFF" EDWARDS WILL BE I'M. MEDIATELY TAKEN TO GAL
 WESTON INSTITUTE.
BEAST MAKES IHREE ATTACKS
LATER KILLED BY DOGS AFTER GETTING IN DEADLY WORK
 ON VICTIMS FACE,

Bitten by hydroptobia skunk as he slept in the open during cattle round up, "Buff" Edwards, a well known cattle man, will be rushed to the Pasteur institute at Galveston, Tex as, in an effort to save his life.
 Edwards will leave this morning ard should be in Galveston by Monday noon. By prompt treatment it is hoped that the effects of the poison may be coun- teracted and his life saved.
 Edwards was bitten during the pro gress of round up on the Murphy ranch.
 Too far from the ranch house to sleep indoors, he bunked in the open, with a tarpaulin over him. During the nig he was awakened by a sharp pain in his forehead, and on investigating found that he had been bitten by a skunk, just above the bridge of the nose.
 Realizing that he could do nothing until morning, he tried to sleep again. Three times the animal returned and tried to attack him, but each time it was driven away. Finally one of the dogs killed the animal
 Edwards was given medical attention yesterday by Dr. Maiseh. He has re sided in and around Globe for many years and is well known here. Before the discovery of the Pasteur remedy, the bite of hydrophobia skunk was considered to be most deadly in effect, from which the victim had hardly possible chance to recover.
 In the past few years a nunSer of accidents of this class have oeonrred in the vicinity of this city and many of them have been fatal.
 Since the discovery of the PasteuI cure, however, the hydophobia skunk has been robbed of many of its ter TOTS, as there is now more than a fight ing chance for the complete recovery of the victim.
 | Hydrophobia skunks work only in tho open and only at night. They usual Fly attack human being about th' face or the hands, rarely in any othel part of the body and in many instances bite their victims in the nose. This il one reason why the poison has beer so difficult to combat when injected int lthe system, as there is no chance t' Eprevent it spreading to all parts of thu body, as there is with snake bite which is usually about the ankles.

BONDING CONTRACT REVISED BY CITY
 COUNCIL
ORDINANCE WILL BE PASSED
 LATER WHICH WILL CLOSE ? TRANSACTION.

At an adjourned meeting of the city council yesterday morning, the contrac; for the sale of the $200,000 waterworks bond issue to Ulen Sutherlin & Co. of Kansas City, was revised to meet pres. ent conditions and given the stamp of approval by the city council.
 The only revision necessary was to specify the amount of bonds to be sold and make some changes in the serial numbers of the bonds, due to the fact that the sewer bond issue failed to carry.
 As soon as the bonds arrive, the necessary ordinance can be passed by the council and the transaction closed.
 A uniform schedule of valuations for the use of the city assessor was also adopted. This schedule fixes the value of real property throughout the city. As the city tax rate is lower than that of the county, the property valuation is about 25 per cent higher than the rate adopted by the county fathers.

CITY LIMITS WILL BE MATERIALLY
 ENLARGED
PETITION BEING PREPARED TO BRING IN PORTION IN
 SOUTHERN END.
RESIDENTS FAVOR COMING D
SECTION INCLUDES CHA VAL LEY YARDS AND MUCH VAL
 LIABLE PROPERTY.

At special meeting of the city coun- eil yesterday morning, initial steps were taken toward bringing into the city large tract of land which will probably embrace South Globe and nearly all of East Globe not now within the city limits.
 To the street committee and the city engineer was delegated the task of se- curing the necessary data which would enable the city attorney to draw up the necessary petitions, which will be cir culated among the property owners. in the section which it is proposed to in- corporate into the city.
 1t is probable that this data will be in shape within the next few days and that further progress in the matter win be made at theh meeting of the city fathers next Thursday night. It is understood that the residents living south and east of town, are nigh ly in favor of coming into the city.
 Naturally they will acquire many ad- vantages by such action. When the Pinal Mountain Water company 8 plant is formally turned over to the city aud the water rates fixed by the council, a better rate can be made to the resi-. dents of Globe than those on the out side and the same will apply to sewer advantages, which will be acquired be fore any great length of time has elapsed.
 There is at present quite large ares of ground which is fairly thickly popu lated, which it is proposed to bring into the city limits.
 The section includes the Gila Valley yards, and that section of South Globe lying east of the yards, taking in tho county hospital and part of Eas Globe.
 | The Gila Valley railroad declined tc some into the city some time ago, anc for that reason a large section of that part of the suburbs which it is now proposed to incorporate was left out side of the city. It Is now believed that the property valuation in the south anC east parts of town win be sufficient tc override any objections the Gila Valley may have.

 IN MATTER.

Alleging that the court of Gua coun- ty has no jurisdiction in the matter and that the plaintiff has no legal capa- city te bring such action, City Attorney Neil M- Alfred has filed answers on be- half of tho city of Globe. Mayor Kin.
 ney and the city council and Denis Murphy and Margaret Murphy. in the suit filed some time ago to prevent the lclosing of a portion of the east side of Broad street, between Cedar and Mes. quite 2 The separate answer of the city is a soluminous affair, in which the allega- tions of the complaint are very thor. oughly taken up.
 In this answer, a number of clauses of the complaint are held to be redun- dant and uncertain.
 demurrer is also set up. on the grounds that the court has no iurisdic. tion, that the plaintiff has no legal capacity to sue or to maintain this ac- ton, that there is no equity in the com. plaint, that no facts are stated sufli- cient to warrant the interference of a court of equity and that the complaint does not state facts sufficient to consti ute cause of action.
 The matter of the closing of Broad street. between Mesquite and Bailey streets, by the board of supervisors of the county several years ago, is also ta. ken up in the answer.
 It is held that, pursuant to the vaca- tion of this portion of the street, build ings of the aggregate value of $S0,O00 have been erected on the premises and that revocation of such vacation would result in much loss to the prop erty owners without any corresponding benefit to. the public.
 That the ground in the triangular stripswhich the city proposes to vacate is of n hilly nature and not adapted to use as street is also set forth in tho answer; as is the further allegation that at tho present time that portion of the street is not used, except that an irregular foot trail leads diagonally

\ ! across the property, on a line with Q sidewalk which it is proposed to build, if the land is condemned.
 It is also set forth ill the answer that the grading of the contested portion of the street would work a hardship on the property owners whose land it faces aa it would leave their places of busi- ness at distance above the grade of the street aud make them inaccessible except by the use of an elevated walk.
 In the answers of the mayor and city council and the other defendants, the matter is taken up in about the same manner, but not so much in detail. The defendants ask that the com plaint be dismissed and that they be awarded judgment for their costs.

HEAVY TRAFFIC TO MIAMI WILL WARRANT EXTENSION OF

The bridge construction outfit of the Gila Valley railway arrived here yes terday and proceeded at once to Ue new right of way for the Miaph ex- tension and began preparations for put ting a trestle short distance below town.
 The outfit is in charge of bridge fore. man Carlos and has been at work at Pima for some time past. A good sized gang of mon accompany the outfit.
 It is probable that the gang will be kept busy for some time putting in the necessary bridges for the new line.
 Will Double Track Line
 1t is probable that within short time the line from the depot to the o. D. shelter will be double tracked.
 The single line has been ample in the past, but with construction work on the Miami in progress, the single track will have to be kept open practically all of the time, for that reason, the rail way officials are figuring on laying an extra line of tracks.
 | Just how soon this work will be talk. en up has not been announced as yet. A new siding is now being put in, running from the freight depot to the Old Dominion s warehouse. Engine Work Delayed
