AN INTERESTING TRIAL.
(continued from page 1)

lasted about an hour, in which he traced again and again the route he followed in trailing the tracks made by the shoe that left it's track in the dirt of the floor of the kitch- en. Among other points Le was questioned as to there having been two sets of tracks, but he admitted torone only. He was questioned also with regard to certain horse tracks left in the corral at Egan's, but his replies to questions were vague and indefinite.
 At the close of Sam Lacey's ex- animation it was six o'clock, and further proceedings were deferred until Tuesday morning.
 Tuesday morning the trial was resumed, Sam Lacey being recalled for further cross. examination with out eliciting anything of import ance. Ralph McCorkle was re- called also and identified bunch of keyes found by Lacey on the Egan premises on the morning after the murder, and by him given to McCorkle, which keys were put in evidence. Witness testified that they were Egan's keys. He testified also to the con- dition of physical weakness in which Egan was some time pre- ceding his death.
 The next witness for the Terri tory was Manuel Montafio who testified that he was with Lacey when he looked for the tracks close to Egan's house. He saw the tracks where they were first dis covered, and with Lacey trailed them across the country and up 6onoita canon as described by Lacey to the place of Casimiro Acufia. Upon cross examination witness stated that he was re- quested by the sheriff to accom- pany Lacey in trailing the tracks. Upon redirect examination he testi fled to seeing defendant at Acufias. Saw there also a burro.
 Sheriff Saxon testified to going from Nogales to Egan's house on the summons given him by Wise over the telephone on the morning that the murder Of Egan was dis covered (June 10th) Witness made an examination of the pre- mises to find if possible some clue to the perpetrator of the crime. Near the chicken house he discov- cred a foot track made by a shoe such as those in evidence. Cover ing it with piece of tin for protec- tion and preservation the officer went inside of the house to see if he could find any similar track. In the soft earth of the kitchen floor he found another track, which he noted, and returned to the chicken house to compare the one found there with the other found in the kitchen, finding them identical. Going inside the chicken house where he saw some digging had been done he found very plain track like that outside of the chicken house and the other in the kitchen. One of the shoes in evi- dence was handed by the witness and identified by him as the left one of the pair he had taken off from the feet of defendant at the jail the evening of the day he was arrested. The witness identified the shoe as one the defendant was wearing when delivered by Mapes to him. At the time of the arrest

tracks he had found at the scene of the crime and trailed by Lacey and Montana from Egan's premises to Acuha's place where defendant was found wearing the shoe. Wit ness identified also the right shoe. When he had found the tracks the witness had deputized Lacey and Montana to trail them and report to him, returning to Nogales him. self. Shortly after reaching town he received Lacey's telephone mes- sage reporting the discovery of the shoes that made the tracks upon the person of defendant, and he ordered Lacey to make the arrest, starting immediately for the scene. Arriving at Calabasas he found Mapes and Lacey with the accused some distance below the section house. He sent Mapes back to the section house with the man, and went over the trail Lacey and Montana had followed from Egan's to the house of Acufia. Went then to the section house where he found defendant in custody of Mapes and Lacey. Witness then took the de- fendant out to the trail made by the tracks between Egan's and Acufia's and walked him alongside the trail so his feet made impress sions in the soil alongside the tracks already there: and upon examination he found the tracks made were identically alike. Wit ness then left the defendant at the section house and went up the canon to Acuha's. There he found the trail of a burro which led up the creek to another small house, near which there were the ashes of lire and the vestiges of a lot of

DOCTORS PRESCRIPTION
Quickly Cures Rheumatic Pains. Also
System Builder.

Go TO any good prescription drug
gist and get the following:
One ounce compound syrup OF Sar-
saparilla, and one ounce Toris com
pound. Add these 10 half pint or
first class whiskey. and use table
spoonful before each meal and at bed
time. The bottle must be well shaken
each time. Although this is seemingly
a commonplace formula, yet It is the
most effective known for the eradica-
ton OF acid poisons from the blood,
absolutely curing all kinds OF rheuma-
tism, and at the same time restoring
the whole system TO vigorous,
healthy condition.
The enfeebled body and nerves will
feel its remarkable restoring effects
after the first few doses. but IL should
be continued until health is fully re-
covered.
The prompt use OF this excellent
mixture will be found TO save many
dollar in doctor bills and much suf-
fering.

D. ]. R.
PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATIONS
PLEA TO PERSUADE COURT TO
iNvALiDATE HALlY ORDINANCE
ON TUESDAY.

Tuesday at Cincinnati before the
United States circuit court Of appeals.
legal representatives OF the city and
OF the Detroit United railway bond
holders argue the merits and de
merits Of the Hally ordinance. otto
Kirchner. associate counsel OF the
city, left for the Ohio town Monday
Iially left at noon.
The brief OF the street railway at
torneys is a rather imaginative affair
for legal document. II alleges that
the plain rights OF the ID. u. r. TO use
of the streets and pictures a conspir-
acy among city officials and others 10
encroach upon those rights and bring
the company TO ruinous expense and
a rate OF fare which would force II
into bankruptcy.
Should the passage OF the Hally or
dinance be approved, the direst results
are predicted. The passage OF resolu-
tions by the council declaring the
franchise rights TO have expired In
certain streets. the language used by
Mayor Thompson on the stump In re-
gard to the necessity OF fighting the
company and the final passage OF the
ordinance which orders that rate OF
not more than three cents be charg-
ed. on all lines. the franchises Of
which have expired in part. are all
grouped as showing the progressive
steps taken TO infiame the public
mind
The natural and necessary effect OF
the victory OF the Hally ordinance, II
is added. would be 10 cause stimuli
taneous and united refusal by large
body of the company's patrons 10 pay
more than three cents for ride and
this would create a situation beyond
the company's power TO control, to
such an extent as to put the ID. U. r.
In a state of duress and coercion. The
loss TO the road on the 13 lines which
IL contends are affected by the ordi.
nance Is estimated at $4,000 per day.
Hally is confident that the higher
court will uphold the ordinance.
