ENCOURAGING REPORT
 REGARDING THE BRIDGE
The Outlook is Bright According to
 Mir. Wolf.

J. w. Woolf, who went to Phoenix yesterday morning on business relat- ing to the presentation of the local option election petition to the board of supervisors ,brough back some en- couraging information regarding the Tempe bridge. In conversation with Citizen Member Riggs of the board of control, MT. Riggs said that the addi tional assessment of p cents having been levied, sum of about $40,O00 would thereby be raised that can be used for bridge purposes. Mir. Riggs stated that it would be likely that the construction of the bridge would be undertaken on the payment plan. It would seem reasonable that a reliable firm might be found to take the work on that plan. It would seem reason able that a reliable firm might be found to take the work on that basis for by the time the bridge would be completed, there would be another assessment available.
 Regarding the local option affair, Mir. Woolf stated that it was his un- derstanding that the board would take action upon it yesterday afternoon.

AN ALARM SYSTEM
 BEING INSTALLED AT THE MILL AVENUE CROSSING OF THE M. & p. R. R. 1t Will Warn the Public of the Ap- proach of Train from
 Either Way

It will be remembered that many months ago the NJ. & P. Railroad company promised that Tempe should have a modern electric system at the railroad crossing at Mill avenue in re- turn for the granting of certain priv ileges It has been so long ago that this promise was made that many be gan to fear that it had slipped the mind of the company entirely, but yes terday work was actually commenced and in a short time the alarm wall be a reality.
 Grand was broken yesterday morn ing by Stelzriede's gang of section men. General Lineman Schean has supervision of the work. The install lation of the alarm is more of task than most people. realize and it will be probably the latter part of the week before it is completed.
 The alarm is situated directly at the crossing: trap on either side. about two hundred yards distant from the crossing is sprung by the first car wheel that passes over it, thus giving the alarm and telling of the approach of a train a short time be- fore it arrives at the crossing. The system is a first class one and is badly needed. That particular crossing is the most dangerous in town. The view on either side is cbstructed and it is it is too late to get out of the way.

4 FORMER TEMPE MAN
 HAS LANDED IN JAIL A. J. HANSON GETS FIVE MONTHS AND A FINE OF $500. The Outcome of Drunken Row Near
 BrawIey, Cal.

The following clipping from the Im- perial Valley Press will be of consid- erable interest to Tempe people by reason of the fact that the subject of the article. A J. Hansen. was for many years a resident of this section of the valley.
 "A. J. Hanson. ex-deputy city mar shal of Brawley, was sentenced by Justice Nice. of that town. on Wednes- day to five months in the county jail and a fine of $500.
 "The Hanson case. it will be remem- bered. is the outcome of the drunken row at the Meade place. just outside the Brawley townsite. wherein light ed lamp was thrown in one mans face and he and two others were burn ed by the ignited oil so that death resulted.
 "The trial of Hanson on the charge of aiding and abetting place where intoxicating liquors were sold in vio- lation of the county prohibitory law. took place before Justice Nice, at Brawley, last week.
 The case went to the jury at three o'clock on Thursday afternoon and verdict was not reached until nine o'clock the next morning. The verdict was guilty with a recommendation of clemency. It was ascertained after this verdict was made public that it was a compromise verdict, as all but one man on the jury were in favor of conviction, while he held out until the recommendation as above was adopted.
 ''The evidence showed a lax con- dition of affairs existing at Brawley for several months past. It showed that for weeks Hanson had been re- ceiving large shipments of liquor at Brawley: that they had come marked to Fl" and labeled as ginger ale but were shipped from the Maier brewery, at Los Angeles; that the draying company at Brawley had taken these shipments to a house in the control of Hanson, and later had carried them as needed to the Meade house: that Hanson had given his check to the railroad company and to the draying company in payment for the shipping and hauling; and that immediately af- ter the fire in which the three men were burned Hanson bod the liquors at the Meade house hauled out and destroyed. The drayman testified that in each case where he hauled barrels of the ginger ale to the Meade place. the barrels were immediately opened and that he was treated to some of the contents and that it was beer.
