DULL DAY IN COURT
MACHINERY OF JUSTICE WAITING FOR APPREHENSION OF IN
 DICTED PERSONS

The federal court was unusually quiet yesterday, no matters being transacted, with the exception of few minor rou- tine affairs. It was expected that a number of arraignments could be taken up, but as the parties have not been apprehended as yet, the calendar was entirely free of criminal matters.
 The chief activity in the Gila coun- ty temple of justice yesterday was the installation of the law library of Judge Ernest W. Lewis, which has just ar rived. The library consists of many hundreds of volumes and nearly the en- tire day was occupied in shelving the books.
 Today sentence will be passed in tho case of Ben Hicks, convicted of sending obscene matter through the mails and the trial of J. T. Holmes, charged witt

.ON WAY ID GLOBE WITH
 PRISONER

Within the next few days, Sheriff Henry Thompson, who is bringing J. c. Phillipson from Edmonton, Canada, to face charge of embezzlement, should arrive here with his prisoner. Over a week has elapsed since the sheriff left Edmonton and as no delays are expect. ed, his arrival any day is not unlocked for.
 From letters which have been re- ceived in this city from Phillipson, he is apparently preparing to fight tho charges which are standing against him
 He secured his release from the Ed monton jail on $s,000 bail before Sher if Thompson arrived and when the lat ter reached Edmonton, the prisoner was waiting at the station to greet his cap tor.
 As Phillipson was able to secure hi' release from the Edmonton jail on bail he will likely give bond on arriving a Globe.

WILDCATS ROUGHLY HANDLE LOCAL
 HUNTERS
THREE FELINES ATTACK MEN AND HORSES, LEAVING EvI-
 DENCE OF FIERCE BATTLE
ONE OF ANIMALS IS KILLED
JOE DIAL AND JOHN LEACH RE TURN TO GLOBE MUCH THE
 WORSE FOR WEAR

Attacked by three wildcats, while bringing in a drove of cattle from the White Mountain district, Joe Dial and John Leach had narrow escape a few days ago.
 Both men were badly scratched and bitten by the infuriated felines and one of the horses was clawed to the bone in places. The clothing of both men was nearly torn from their bodies, be- fore the cats could be repulsed.
 One of che animals was finally killed and the others driven away.
 As proof of the enconnrer, both men exhibited numerous scratches yesterday.
 According to the story told by Dial, he and Leach were riding together in the White Mountains, when, without warning the three cats sprang upon them from an overhanging tree. The attack was so sudden that they were unprepared to repel the angry bIutes and before rifles could be brought into action they had received several severe scratches and the horses had fared even worse. Using their guns as clubs, the cats were finally driven off and one of then shot.
 Under the circumstances the attack was an unusual one and both men con slider that they had fortunate escape in not receiving more painful injuries | from tho teeth and claws of the enrapeC wildcats.

LOCAL DELAYED BY BROKEN FLANGE
 0N TENDER
SERIOUS WRECK INVERTED WHEN STAY CHAINS HOLD TRAIN
 TOGETHER
DAMAGE PROMPTLY REPAIRED
PASSENGER TRAIN DELAYED BUT BRIEF TIME ON ACCOUNT
 OF ACCIDENT

What came very nearly resulting in serious accident occurred on the Gila Valley line, yesterday afternoon, when q broken hange on the tender tied up Local No. l2, about fifteen miles below Cutter.
 But for the fact that the guard chains between the tender and baggage car withstood the strain and kept the tank on the tracks, very serious accident | could hardly have been avoided. The train was making good time when the l accident occurred and the train went a considerable distance before 1t could be brought to standstill. A wrecker was at once dispatched from the local yards, to clear the tracks, as it was at first reported that the.e zine and one car had left the rails. When the wrecker arrived, however the dislodged trucks had been replaced and the train was on its way toward l Cutter.
 The broken wheel was locked and the train dragged to Calva, where new sci of trucks was put in place. The tracks were cleared before the arrival of the passenger train and no great delay was occasioned by the accident.
 Superintendent Mallard was highly pleased with the dispatch with whicf the wrecking crew repaired the dam age.

JUDGE FIRED WHEN APPLICATION |S
 REFUSED
STRANGE AND UNUSUAL CASE IS DEVELOPED IN LAND CON-
 TEST AT BOWIE

It is rather an unusual proceeding for a litigant to have judge, sitting on his case, discharged in order that he may win suit, but something border ing very nearly on this state of affairs occurred at Bowie few days ago, in a case in which "Captain Burns was attempting to make final proof on a tract of land.
 Burns did not secure the discharge of the official before whom final proof was to have been made in the case, but Commissioner Williams, before whom the matter was to have been heard was discharged, on petition of friends of the captain, and he won out in the contest.
 Burns filed on a piece of land at Bowie some time ago, but when the date of making final proof drew near, he discovered that Mexican had filed contest to his claim on the land. As the result of petition of mum her of Burns friends, Commissioner Will Hams was removed from office by Gov ernor Sloan on the day before the hear ing.
 Williams at once announced himself as attorney for the contestant and took the matter up before Judge Crowley at Wilcox. He was unfortunate, however as the judge could not see where there , was any valid protest against Burns
 receiving title to the land and tho final papers were issued to the captain
 at once.
