SOLDIER MODERN
ENOCH ARDEN
Aged Woman Finds Spouse After
She Has Remarked and Proves
True TO Her First Love

The story of a modern Enoch Arden
was told in suit for annulment OF
marriage in the superior court yester-
day. Twenty-Five years after he had
left his wife, Harry T. Powell turned
Up again. In the meantime Mrs
Georgiana c. Powell. concluding she
was a widow. had remarked, her second
husband being James Warden. Her
suit yesterday was TO cancel her union
with Warden
LEFT HER % YEARS AGO
Mrs. Powell was first married in No
vember, 1856. Powell, who was SOL
der left her in May. 1881 He gave his
wife no hint Of his whereabouts and for
a quarter of a century she heard moth
ing from him. The only information
she received was TO the effect that he
was dead IN June, 1900, she married
James Warden.
An old friend travelling in the south
ern part OF the state was the medium
through which Mrs. Powell Warden
got into communication with her real
husband. In May of last year this
friend told her that she had seen Pow
ell in San Diego, and that he was sick
and poor. With forgiveness in her
heart Mrs Powell, who is an old lady
went south and met her husband. More
than that, she brought him to San
Francisco. employed a physician to care
for him. and at the home Of relatives
nursed and tended him with devotion.
From Warden she had Immediately
separated upon becoming convinced
that her husband really lived. Both
agreed this was the right thing to do.
NOW IN SOLDIERS HOME
Powell is now an inmate OF the old
soldiers home at Yountville. When
Mrs. Powell had by her nursing re-
stored him to better health friends pro-
cured his admission to the institution.
His wife has pardoned him for his
unfaithfulness to her many years ago,
but there is little in common between
them now, and II is sot probable they
will again live together as man and
wife All the persons connected with
the odd case are in poor circumstances

or innocence of the defendant was put
toshlm he asserted that he had no opin-
ion in the matter, and finally declared
that he could try the case fairly and
impartially. On the strength of this
assertion he was passed by both sides
without challenge.
LYNCH PROVES A PUZZLE
John L. Lynch, who was in the box
when adjournment was taken proved
somewhat of a puzzle. He said that he
had entertained an opinion that Cal
houn was guilty up until about six
months ago, and had thought, that he
would convict the whole crowd" il he
were ever called upon as juror, but
that within the last half year he had
made UP his mind that they should
all have square deal" Attorney
Lewis Byington, who examined him
for the defense, finally passed him,
and he was under examination by AS
sistant District Attorney O'Gara when
adjournment time was reached. He
told O'Gara that he had changed his
opinion because he had not seen the
money passed in the trolley bribery
deal and didn't think he should con-
demn man when he had no personal
knowledge of his guilt.
A visitor in the courtroom during
the afternoon was Edward Charlier
French chief justice of Tahiti, who is
on his way to France on a six months
leave of absence. He called upon
Judge Lawlor. who ordered a five min
utes' recess and spent the time in his
chambers with his guest.

terday and excused were: George F.

A SPLENDID INSTITUTION

The reading room has been we'll patronized every evening during this, the first week of it's existence The younger boys club met Monday night and organized. Their atten- tion was called to the magazines and books for boys of their age An interesting story of an Arizona Indian chief was read to them from the St. Nicholas Magazine. The older boys had their club meeting Thursday evening and elected their officers. James Whitcomb Riley was the subject of the evening and number of his humorous poems were read. The boys decided to begin the gymnasium work next week. They also decided to give a party to their girl friends at near date. More than anything else it is desired that the fathers of the boys should come with the boys. It will encourage the boys to come and greatly aid those who are in charge of the rooms.
 On account of the fact that all of the books and papers are not yet in the reading room, the mem bership cards for the first month have been issued as good to February 1st. A number of the daily papers have begun sending free copies to the reading room. Their encourage ment is greatly appreciated. A complete file of the daily papers of the territory and the coast cannot ] fail to be a strong attraction.

A COZY HOME

The new home of Martin Buggeln is rapidly nearing completion. It is a splendid addition to our resi- dence district. One enters an in- viting reception hall with cheer ful fireplace at one end. On the right is the billiard room and on the left a large parlor with the spacious windows commanding a pleasing view of the Sitgreave mountains The attractive wood work of the dining room is a sur prise to many in showing what can be accomplished with native pine. Carefully selected pieces of the native wood show the fine points of graining and coloring usually found only in Flemish oak. The exposed rafters in the reception room carry out the general effect of the home The electrical fixtures are all beautiful and artistic. Tn house is heated by the hot water system and has every convenience of the city home. all in a very com pact form.
 Williams is to be congratulated upon having such d citizen as MT. Buggeln. We need more men who are public spirited and believe in the future of the town. We need more homes and we need men who wish to make their homes as com- fortahle and inviting as their means will allow. We have had too many citizens who have made their money here in this town or on this range and have then gone to Phoenix, Los Angeles and larger places to build their homes and educate their children. We have all the rented property the town requires. We need more homes. Every man who builds good home for his family adds to the good of the community as we'll as to his own comfort.

WILLIAMS JEROME RAILROAD

Parties coming in from the Dra- goon Fork country report surveying parties from Jerome working in very secretive and mysterious man. ner northward It is understood, that these surveyors represent Sem aior Clark's northward projected railroad These surveying parties are wesf ward from Oak creek some 10 or 15 miles, on the Dragoon fork of the Verde river, and some 25 or 30 miles south of Williams. They are working northward and in the direction and with the apparent intention of striking Davenport, a Santa Fe siding between Williams and Chalender. It is understood the Santa Fe has already made a survey for a right of way south from Davenport to Jerome, looking for a route to go down the rim from off the mountain. and found a very favorable route the entire distance.
 The Clark surveyors have been quietly at work within the past few weeks, and it looks as though, after all, Williams is to again out-rail- road Flagstaff in the way of out let and inlet transportation facili. ties, and turn the same trick on that burg that it did when Will- ia ms secured the Canyon road.
 From inside sources it is almost positively learned by THE NEWS reporter, after receiving the above information, and an investigation of the whole situation was made, that Williams is to get the Jerome road, which is to be built to Daven- port and thence run their trains over the Santa Fe track to Will jams, making close connections with the Canyon road.
 It is reasonably certain material will be shipped in and building commenced when spring opens. or, at the latest, during the summer.

A PLEA FOR JUSTICE
Editor Williams News.

Editor Williams News.
 The statehood acts introduced in the present congress by our dele gate, Hon. M. A. Smith, and by Senator Foraker. alike provide for donation of land to protect Pima county from bonds issued for rail road construction, which were de- clared void by the United States supreme court. but were subse- quently validated by act of con gress.
 The railroad bond indebtedness of Yavapai and Coconino counties is in precisely the same situation as that of Pima county The pro vision in behalf of Pima county is probab bly, copied from an older bill prepared before the Pima county bonds were funded. and is now inapplicable for the reason that those bonds are now funded and assumed by the territory; and be- cause another clause in the bills mentioned provides for a grant of land to the territory to provide a fund for the payment of the bonded indebtedness of the several counties assumed by the territory. under the funding act. The counties of Pima, Yavapai and Coconino have, how ever, paid large sums in interest upon the bonds in question; and as the necessity for making those pay ments was imposed upon the coun- ties in question, solely by reason of the action of congress, it is but equita ble that the enabling act should contain some provision for reimbursing those counties for such payments. I am calling the atten- tion of the people of Yavapai and Pima counties to the matter in the belief that united action upon the part of the citizens of the three counties interested may be taken which will result in substantial benefit.
 Coconino county should be en- titled to further relief, in view of the fact that the majority of the lands within it's boundaries. having been embraced within forest re- serves and game preserves, are withdrawn from taxation. thus throwing the entire burden of main taining county government, so far as real property is concerned, upon towns and the small remaining area. most of which is compara- lively worthless Probabl no other county in the country has been SO injured in this respect. 1 believe it is the intention of congress to ad init this territory under exception ally liberal terms. Prompt action of some sort is of great importance. Doubtless if we call attention to the matter, forwarding full data, the present legislature will pass me- morial urging upon congress some form of suita ble relief
