The young man who was driving
the buggy became confused by the

driver OF the auto could not see the
buggy until he was almost upon it.
He applied his brakes but too late. and

The team broke loose from the buggy

PASTOR

Rev Raymond G. Brooks. who has
been pastor of the First Congrega
tional church for the past several
months will be formally installed to-
night and those services will be the
most impressive of any of this kind
ever held in the city. Though Mr.
Brooks has been city pastor for this
church for some time. he had not been
formally made so and the installation
will merely be in the nature of Il for
mai acceptance At o'clock this af-
ternoon the church council examined
him as to his fitness, wherein his ex-
pressions of faith We're listened to and

Rev. Brooks is a graduate OF rabor
college. Iowa and it was at this insti-
tuition he secured his A. 3. degree. He
also attended the theological semi
nary of Yale university and secured
the degree Of doctor OF divinity. He
was pastor of the First Congregational
church at Eugene, Oregon and also
filled the pastorate for nine years at
Oakland. At both places he has been
closely allied with colleges and this

Only Three Lots Left Now
in the City Burial
Ground It Is Said

When WalIa Wallans learn Of th,,
true condition of affairs at the city
cemetery they will doubtless think
twice before shuffling off this mortal
coil, Who wants to die when there
is no place in the cemetery for his in
terment? And who has desire TO be
retired from active operation on this
mundane sphere by being planted on
a pedestal such as the natives used
before Chris. sailed across the puddle
and discovered America?
According to one of the local under
takers who speaks with authority
there are but three of the $40 lots left
in the city cemetery. and those IN
charge are wondering what is to be
done for the enlargement of the citys
burying ground. The council has for
adVisability of purchasing ground for
the enlargement Of the tract. but nc
definite action has been taken and
meanwhile the space has been gradu-

exclusive of those in the various ira

Cause Of Insanity and the Death oi E. p. Birmingham.

E. P. Birmingham, for thirty years prospector in the Crown King dis trict, who a few days ago became vio- lently insane from worry over the fail- ure of a mining company to take over his property on which they held a bond, and who was committed to the asylum on the 9th inst. died yesterday morning. Mir Birmingham was 65 years old and had spent half of his life in this territory. His brother, K. P Birmingham, of Blair, Nev., arrived Sunday morning and spent several hours with him.
 David Morgan, who was committed to the asylum in May, 1907, and who was well known in this county, hay ing spent many years prospecting in various parts of the country, died the 10th inst, the cause given being old age. No one knew just how old MT. Morgan was, but he was quite an old man when he came to Arizona twelve or fifteen years ago. He was origi- nally from Georgia, where he has a brother still residing.

cedent it would establish for other counties that may be desirOus of sim liar improvements in the construction of what will become truly territorial highway. other counties are more sparsely settled than this immediate district and if the circulation of peti- tions through the mountain counties becomes necessary it may be found difficult to get the people to agree on any particular road.

STATEMENT OF THE
 "NEVERLEAK" MFGRS
Their Reason for Withdrawing Their Suit Against H.. s. GriswoId of Phoenix.

On May 7there appeared in The Republican an article under the head ing, "GriswOId's Racycle and His Wheel Dope" The story covered two features. one being an unique adver- tising scheme in the perpetual motion of a large imitation Racycle Of which he is the local agent. The other made reference to a lawsuit that had been filed against MT. Griswold in the United States court, alleging an in fringement of patents owned by the manufacturers of "Neverleak." d prep aration for curing punctured tires, and which lawsuit had recently been with drawn. In the story MT. Griswold was humorously referred to as a trust hater," though it went on to say that Mir. Griswold had never busted any trust, but merely shook himself free of it. The manufacturers of Never leak" the Buffalo Speciality company. have written The Republican, object ing to being classed with the trusts, as the company never was and does not expect to become trust. Continu ing, the company recites its side of the case as follows:
 "Our 'Neverleak' patent covers just what we claim it does; to-wit: the process of healing punctures In bi cycle tires by the use of liquid, semi liquid or powder. which can be con verted into liquid, which patent has been declared valid in many judgments obtained in the United States circuit courts. Nor has any judge or court ever declared it invalid in any par ticular. This patent, therefore, not only has the authority of the United States patent office. but also said court decisions to support it.
 The suit brought by us against said Griswold was started in good faith and prosecuted on our part with all due diligence, our testimony showing that Griswold had infringed the patent having been taken in Buffalo and filed with the court in Phoenix almost three years ago. It then became necessary for the defendant, Griswold, 10 take and file his testimony; and although our attorneys repeatedly endeavored to have GriswOld's attorneys proceed with his side of the case. they delayed do- ing so from time to time, giving new answer in the case setting up an entirely new matter as a defense, and

of the three largest towns in the coun- ty by all tine newspapers of the coun- ty and by the sentiment expressed at the recent election. They held that as the law is mandatory the board of control might safely proceed on the expression of sentiment that has been had already, rather than establishing precedents that would be embarrassing to some other counties that might have equally as logical a proposition to of fer. and which under the mandatory provisions of the law might be adopted with perfect legality and in pursu- anee of a general and well devised plan for a territorial highway.

of the $30.00O issue of special district No. 1 bonds on the ground that the funds available will not be needed un- til next fall
 In the afternoon from 2:30 until 1 o'clock, the executive committee of the Center street committee. the Tempe committee and the district attorney. met with the board of control. The Mesa City members were not present, but they had sent word to their entire accord with what was being done.
 It was the first official notice of the highway project that had been brought before the board and naturally there was a great deal of preliminary discussion concerning the law and what could be done under its provis- ions. as well as concerning just exact ly what the people wanted. Naturally also there was considerable mixed opinion expressed, but the gentlemen on both sides were all struggling for the light and anxious to clear away the speculative phases of the situation and get down to a practical basis. The conclusion of the conference was that the territorial engineer. J. B. Grand, was instructed to make an estimate of the cost of creating and maintaining a public highway through Phoenix and Tempe. and also a separate and dis tinct estimate of the probable cost of such a bridge as will be needed in Tempe. It was felt by all that this was entirely satisfactory and all that could be asked for at this time. When the engineer makes his report it will then be up to the committees to see what the next step shall be. and at this time there seems to be no reason why be made this year.
 The first speaker before the board was B. A. Fowler. who presented the business of the committee. He was followed by Judge Ainsworth. who presented the resolutions adopted by the supervisors. w. J. Kingsbury spoke in respect to the highway law. Dis trict Attorney Bullard gave his views of the situation, J. B. Cook and Chas. Woolf and J. C. Goodwin. of Tempe. addressed the board and representing the latter Messrs. w. C. Foster and J. J. Riggs of course frequently alter mated with questions of opinions.
 There was some doubt on the part of the board as to its duties and privileges under the law. The mem bers were desirous of following it closely and at tine same time were de- sirous of knowing that they were backed by public sentiment The at torneys present all agreed that the law was mandatory under the condi- tiOns that now obtain. Respecting the matter of sentiment. Mir. Riggs sug- gested that it would be well to have the request of committees backed by petitions of say half the property own CTS of the county.
 There was considerable divergence of opinion on that proposition. in the interest of other counties rather than Phoenix. for most of the gentlemen are behind the good roads movement as a territorial proposition rather than a local project. They want other coun- ties than Maricopa to share the bene- fits of the law. They contended that it would be easy to get the petitions desired in this county. though harder now than any other time of the year. when people are many of them going away for the summer. But it could be accomplished here if the board in- sisted. The objection was the pre-

then insisted upon taking their testi- mOny immediately thereafter. This notice came to Buffalo at a time when our general attorney, MT. Mansfield, was so engaged that It was impossible for him to go to Phoenix to attend taking testimony at said time set by Griswold's attorney. He, therefore, re- quested an adjournment for a few weeks, so as to permit him to be pres ent on our behalf but this Griswold and his sai1 attorneys declined to grant and insisted upon going on with the case in MT. Mansfield's absence.
 As he is the only one entirely fla
 miliar ith the patent in the suit and all matters pertaining to the case, and as his correspondent in Phoenix is not a patent attorney, it as concluded that it would not only be unfair to us, but prejudicial to our rights to have the case proceed without our said counsel being present; and therefore, we were practically forced to withdraw the case for the present. If you will confer with MT. Jamison, an attorney of your city, who assisted MT. Mansfield, or consult the records of the court, you will find that the foregoing statements are true, and also that said case was discontin- ued without prejudice to our rights in any way, and we assure you that If MT. Griswold, or any one else infringes upon our said patent, to our knowl- edge, suit will be brought in the Unit ei1 States courts to restrain such in fringements and for damages.
 'In conclusion we will express the  belief that there exists in nearly every business man d desire to be fair and we submit this statement for your consideration. a statement, lengthy as it may seem, is but a small part of what can be said from our standpoint"
