IMPORTANT RULING IN OFFICERS'
 FEE CASES
Court Holds Justices En- titled To Sums
 Sued For
CkHBd s s.6BpssnL moIdl

What Is pronounced a precedent for boards of supervisors in the ter ritOry of Arizona was established by District Judge Campbell when he de eided in favor of the plaintiff in three of the noted "fee cases" from the Bisbee and Lowell precincts in COehise county, says the Tucson Citi- zen, and against two of them. Judge Campbell held that John W. Hogan and T. D. Burdiek were entitled to the fees for which they sued. Both are justices of the peace
 In tOday's proceedings Judge Camp bell ruled against the payment of fees in the cases of Deputy Sheriff w. J. White, Constable D. E. Twomey and Constable J. F. Wilmouth, in which they were suing for mileage for arrests made without warrants.
 The ease of Frank Bauer, deputy sheriff, was on trial late this after noon.
 AhC litdCipdA iuCotiOA ihNOiNCu lh the present proceedings is as to whether o' not a constable is entitled to fees in a case where the defend ant was placed in custody before a warrant had been issued for his ar rest. Another contention was that where the officer who made the ar rest had not travelled actually a mile, no mileage should be allowed.
 The fee bill as rendered by the COchise officers was cut considerably by the board of supervisors of that county loon the advice of the dis trict attorney. The officers refused to accept the cut, and actions were brought against the county to re- cover the amount disallOwed by the board of supervisors. Soon after the cases were filed a motion for a change or venue was asked for to this county, which was granted by Judge Doan, and the cases were set for bearing in this city. Suits in eluded in the hearing yesterday and today are those of Justices Hogan, Burdiek and Grier and Arresting Of fieers TwOmey Wilmouth and Bauer. The amounts involved will aggregate about 5000.
 While the monetary consideration is not large, the outcome of the cases is being watch with considerable in terest, especially in COehise. The fees charged by the plaintiffs in these suits have been in vogue in that county for years, and the various dis triet attorneys ave audited the bills and the boards of supervisors have allowed chem without question ever since the county was organized.
 Some similar questions arose once before in regard to the fees, and in those instances the cases were brought to this county for hearing, the court deciding VI favor of the officers. The questions involved then, however, were not exactly the same as have arisen in the present ones.

ORDER IS MADE FOR
 DISTRIBUTION or ESTATE
GFrom Sundays Dailyl


 Yesterday in the probate court decree of partial distribution was made in the Hazekiah Brooks estate, distributing one acre of land and Im- provements thereon to James E. Ed gar, Bessie Edgar, his wife, and William Edgar and James Edgar, the children. This order covers an acre of land and the home on the Brooks estate.
 Mrs. Edgar was captured while a child in an Apache raid on the Verde, and was a member of the family of Judge and Mrs. H. Brooks. She was brought 10 this city and resided con on that identical place for over thirty-seven years, that is now legally hers. Mrs. Edgard's mother was killed accidentally in the fight by Ed. Peek, who was one of the party in that memorable battle, Mrs. Edgar, then a baby, es- caping as if by a miracle. The band was totally annihilated, and af- ter the camp was entered the child was found secreted and by Mir. Peck brought 10 this city and placed in the custody of Mir. and Mrs. Brooks.
 MT. Peek is a resident of Nogales at the present time and was the dis eoverer later of the famous Peek silver mine.

 R. NJ. Hanson, operating the Twiggs express line between the Senator and Prescott, while in the city yesterday stated that in all the years of his travelling over that thoroughfare the roads were in worse shape than ever before seen. and some effort should be made toward remedying the bad condition in evidence. The chagaeter of the road is such that the new grading machine of the county will not be capable to handle the work as heavy bollders are exposed and man ual labor will be necessary. Mir. Han son also says that the Davis mine on Slate creek is now being operated under a big contract and that Del Day has a force of men employed in drifting oa the vein. It will be some time before this work is completed. I'd Change Residence.

Yesterday Judge McLane took a hand in the business of Peeping Tom, known as Chiappa. and he was sent to the county jail for a perior of 100 days. The city statutes have re- peatedly been limbered up to fit his case but that was but teaser and he has been before that court that he has come to be considered as a nuis- anee and takes the dose as a joke. His transfer to the county is a diff ferent proposition. This hybrid has for months been a terror to places occupied by helpless women, and there is no doubt that several attempts at burglary were due to his method of entering houses to secure information and to frighten and modest people.
