HOW MANiTOITES WAITED
UNTIL I A. M. TO GET
HOME 80.

Patience Of people compelled to
patronize the Mantle street car line
Is worn threadbare--and there
aren't even many threads left.
During the hours when the rush
Is on, in the morning and evening,
there is not adequate service to
the end Of the line, and about
twice as many people as there are
seats are carried on the cars.
Sometimes the cars haven't got
"juice" enough to make the turn
at the end of the switch, and this
delays and complexities matters.
Very frequently the cars run off
the tracks. More delay and more
complication.
Saturday night the late night air
ought to have taken on a blue
haze If there is anything in the
phrase swearing like a blue
streak" A lot of cuss owrds GER
tainly arose from lot OF threats.
Shortly after II o'clock Mantle
cars stopped making an appear
ance at points along the loop"
Scores of people kept on the watch
on the cold streets for about an
hour. in the vain hope that yell
low Mantle car would show up.

Hilda Johnson. the woman who
was befriended by Anderson and
whose children were in the care OF
the rancher, testified that John
Carlson, a bartender, and Ander-
son were in her room on the sec
ond floor of the lodging house. and
during a drunken alteration which
cnsued in the early hours Of the
morning, Carlson threw Anderson
from the window.
The movements of both Carlson
and Emil Johnson. the husband of
the woman, were traced and the
authorities are satisfied that a
mystery enshrouds the case which
will never be lifted, and would pre-
vent the conviction of Carlson.

CHANGED HIS MIND
 AND PLEADED GUILTY AND PROMISED TO SUPPORT
 HIS FAMILY.
Another Stage In a Stormy Voyage
 of Matrimony.

- Miguel Noreiga changed his mind before the time set for the hearing of his case yesterday morning, and pleaded guilty to the charge of non- support. It will be remembered that Mrs. Noreiga swore out a complaint against her husband last week so charging him, and he was brought over from Glendale Monday after noon. He first pleaded not guilty through his attorney and demanded a jury trial. After more mature con- sideration however. he changed this plea and threw himself on the mercy of the court.
 The matrimonial voyage of the family has not been a msOoth one. It has been frequently disturbed by storms of a violent nature. MT No- reiga, however, expressed his willing ness to the court to make another attempt, and promised to support his wife and children. He was, ac- cordingly. let off easy, and was merely fined the costs of the case, amounting to about $25.

4 NEW SOLUTION
 OF SALOON QUESTION
Their Abolition by Cutton Off Water Supply.

Los Angeles, Cal. June 2S.(--Special correspondence of The Repgblican.)- A novel scheme in the abdlishing of the saloon, and promote the temper ance cause, has had good effect in one part of the country at least On the great Mohave desert in Cali fornia, along the aqueduct line that is , being constructed to carry water sup city's aqueduct department has been enabled to rid the camps along this line of saloons by shutting off their water supply.
 Water Is, of course, the great prime necessity of the desert, and at these camps the city's supply has been the only water available, and so by this means it has been possible to close out the saloons by refusing water for any purpose whatever.
 On the desert at Cinco, fifteen miles from the town of Mohave, is located the most objectionable saloon of all. but the Great Hopes Mining company, located at Cinco, promises it's aid in the removal of this one also. In the case of this saloon conditions have been somewhat different. The mine has its own water supply. and the sa- loon, situated a short distance from one of the city's camps. has been ob- taining it's supply from the mine, mere ly because no one has been sufficiently interested to interfere.
 The facts were brought to the notice of J. R. Wilson. former president of the mining company, who now says in I,Rr | ,.I- hot they are ready to combine with them their efforts to eliminate this one also. While it has always been customary on the desert to give water to all who may be in need of it, no contract has been made with the saloon for water.

to the world at large that Vanderbilt died of an apoplectic stroke.
 At that time Colonel JOhnstone was a prominent figure in railroad circles at Louisville, Ky, and in that way he learned of the manner of the death much as will ever be known.
 There had for long time been a bitter war among the eastern railroads regarding terminal facilities. The chief warning clements were the Baltimore X ohio and the New York Central. The former could not get into New York and the Baltimore & Ohio barred all other roads from Washington.

MAGAZINE WRITER
 GETS STORIES MIXED AN ARTICLE PUBLISHED IN THE f. STRAND
Recalls to Colonel Johnstone Tragic
 Circumstance.

The Republican yesterday morning printed an extract from an article by Harry Furniss in the current number of the Strand Magazine. in which he described what purported to be hith- Arto unpublished account of an inter view between Commodore" Wander bilt and Jay Gould. The men had been bitter enemies, outwardly at least, and this conference was arranged at Van derbilt's house at the instance of MT. Gould.
 In the course of it Vanderbilt fell from his chair and lay as if dead; Gould thought he was dead and was greatly agitated over the situation in which he found himself. alone in a locked room with his supposed dead Hest enemy in the financial world. The "commodOre' recovered and, according to Furniss. the fainting spell Was only a piece of acting to work upon the sympathies of Gould.
 This article was of especial interest to one Phoenix man, Col. C. w. John stone. who says that Furniss is very far from the facts in the case. and that his story is based on the peculiar circumstances of the death of William H Vanderbilt, the eldest son of the commodore. These circumstances have never been published. It is only known
