PRINTING CONTRACT
 GETS INTO COURT
Phoenix Printing Company Moves Against Board and the H. N.
 McNeiI Go.

Charles C. Bowers of the Phoenix Printing company yesterday made ap- plication in the district court for writ of mandannus directed against the board of supervisors and the H. 1T McNeil company to compel the board to award to the applicant the county printing for the coming year.
 The petition states that the applicant and the H. II. McNeil company were bidders in response to an advertise ment by the board, for the printing contract There were only two bid ders. The petition contains the bids Of the applicant on the various articles for which bids had been invited: also the bids of the H H. McNeil company on the same articles. It is alleged that that of the H. H. McNeil company to to amount of $500 for the year.
 Notwithstanding this. it is stated that the bid of the applicant was re- jected and that of the H. H. McNeil company was accepted.
 It is further recited that the appli- cant is a taxpayer of this county; that the money he pays as taxes goes into the county treasury whence it is dis bursed for the expenses of the county The applicant does not fancy contrib uting to the loss of $500. which he alleges the board would incur by en- tering into the printing contract with the H. H. McNeil company.
 Judge Kent directed the issuance of an alternative writ made returnable December 31.

ODDS AND ENDS SALE
 AT BALKE'S BIG CUR|0
The Greatest Opportunity to Get Good Goods at Surprisingly Low Prices.

An odds and ends sale is nov being inaugurated at Balke's Big Curlo store, in preparation for the annual stock taking of the store. It is de- sired to close out all lines that have been depleted by the recent rush There will come under this sale. Mex ican zerapes, Mexican drawn work, Russian hammered brass and a large variety of articles of native copper and of orange wood, to say nothing of what is left of the Arizona ostrich feathers.
 In nearly all of these lines there IS still left a complete assortment but there are so few articles of a kind that it is intended to close out the entire lines.
 This must necessarily be done at a sacrifice and the Big Curio store Is ready to make the sacrifice. Not only does it figure on an entire loss or profit but it goes further and agrees to forget the original cost; anything to get rid of the goods.
 Those who are satisfied with some thing less than a profusion of articles to select from will find in these lines. perhaps as good goods in the vari- ous articles as there were before the beginning of the Christmas rush.
 This same profusion has perhaps spoiled the customers of the Big Curio store; they have been used to seeing so many articles of the same kind in the different departments that when

Deputy Sheriff Adams came in from Wickenburg yesterday with the "Apos- tie James," otherwise James Apostoles, who had been charged by his partner, of eighty dollars while he slept on Sunday morning.
 Apostoles says that he welcomes the opportunity to face his angered coun- tryman from the isles of Greece. What the latter has mistaken for robbery is nothing but an exhibition of the Greek way of dissolving partner ship.
 Apostoles said that he had more money in the business than anybody else He invested his entire capital of s55 in it against s20 by Bellas Apostoles had not been in very long before he wanted out, notwithstanding the business seemed to prosper. But 1t seemed slow to one who had got used to performing the more exacting as well as exciting duties of waiter in a chop house.
 on Saturday night. Apostoles said ne Auit tiN IT oi' confectionery business. He expected none of the accrued profits. but all he wanted was his original capital. He said nothing about his intentions to Bellas: that would have resulted in a discussion.
 Accordingly. Apostoles went through the treasury on the morning of his de- parture but he could find only -s5C of his original capital. He took that and retired.
 In proof of the fairness of his inten- tions. Apostoles points to the fact that he left the business. the stock to his partner That is one of the things that Bellas complained of: the stock was left there with no money to pay for it with
 This summary dissolution of a part nership may not meet with universa approval. but it is doubtful whether anything can be done with the young Greek The thing that's that one may do to his partner are not clearly de- fined.
