BOTH PARTIES TO sLAmE-Last

k = Saturday night Francisco Quihuis liv- ing near Alhambra set up a great out cry because his face had been cut into ribbons with a knife in the hands of Ramon Aldai. Aldai was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Olea after d fierce fight and it was thought that he had earned for himself a long term in the territo- rial prison. Quihuis came to town the next day and made formal compliant of assault with a deadly weapon. But the persons whom he had subpoenaed as witnesses for the territory said that he had got what he deserved; that he had begun the trouble and that though he was the large man he had first drawn knife. Accordingly complaint was lodged against him in Justice Aldsi having been brought before Judge Parker. Both parties were yes terday found guilty of disturbance of the peace

 BACK FOR THE WINTER-Mau- rice Goodman. of Portage, Wis, has returned to Phoenix for the winter and in the last day or two has been greet ing many old friends through the win dows at the postoffice. Mir. Goodman is owner and editor of a daily news paper in Portage but for several years past has served in the Phoenix post office during the holidays as an extra clerk. He does that work more be cause he likes to than for the money in it and it gives him a good acquaint- ance here. And the postoffice is al ways glad to have his help. for he is competent and quite experienced.
 SNOW AND RAIN-Arizona was yesterday given a general baptism of snow and rain. A telephone message from Prescott about 10 o'clock yester- day morning brought the news that ten inches of snow had fallen and it was still coming down so fast one could hardly see across the street. Lo- cal residents say the Salt River noun tains south of Phoenix were white yes terday morning though the rain prob ably melted quickly whatever snow there was. It was so cloudy and misty one could not clearly see the moun- tains yesterday afternoon. The tele- phone advised the reclamation offices that it was storming all the way from here to Roosevelt and as much further as anybody could see. Along the river from here to Roosevelt and at the lat ter place it was raining North of the. river in the hill country it was snow ing. It is likely there was heavy snow all over the Verde and Salt watersheds.
 THE TRACK HARDLY SCRATCH EO-Deputy Sheriff A w. Howe, of Cochise county arrived in town last night with q burglar whom he will take to Florence this morning. Speaking of the wreck of the Golden State Limited near Benson he said that the condition of the railroad track at the scene of the wreck was the marvel of all rail road men who had seen it. The only sign of it on the track at the point where it occurred. is the "chewed" ends of couple of ties where a wheel of one of the derailed cars passed over them. Not rail was loosened: not even spike. When the gauge was applied the track was found to be standard though it was discovered that the curve had been changed by about three inches. That change, how ever. did not affect the alignment for the Pullman cars passed on over the track after the engine and four other cars had left it They ran 900 feet.

placed on the statute books such pen

tinue to ask for such relief as will
seem to be equitable and just. And

they may by their influence obtain.
Survivors of the War
THE number of survivors of the civil
war at the close of athe last fiscal year
as shown by the report of the commits
sioner of pensions, was 62O,9S5. The
number of survivors on the pension

amount appropriated for pensions dur
ing the year was 1852, 100000.

The speaker told of difficulties en-
countered in securing a round trip rate
of one fare to the Salt Lake encamp-
ment saying:
"AH roads west of Chicago have
given us a rate of one fare for the
round trip and all east of Chicago have
stubbornly refused to do better than a
rate of one and one-haIf fare to Chi
cagO and st. Louis. This is not as
good a rate as these associations are
giving to summer tddrists for the Yu-
kon-Seattle exposition, but we can not
avail ourselves of the summer tourist
rate unless we purchase tickets through
to Seattle.

In discussing pension legislation Com
mander Nevius said:

asking for relief for the veterans on

officers and the. .eXemplifcation of the

and the address of Commander
Nevius were the features of the ses-
sion which had the greatest interest
for those, inside and outside.
1t is understood that resolutions in
favor of pension and other Iegisla-
tfon have been introduced and some
both in the committees and on the
floor of the hall. The purport of
these resolutions has not. however,
been disclosed to the public. Some
excitement may be generated to-
morrow, when the vote will be taken
on the election of a new commander

that Ex-Governor Samuel r. Van

the one and Atlantic City. N. J.. for

Not one of the many contentious
made by Thaw during the three
weeks of his recent hearing was sus-
tanned He is. however somewhat
better off than before he brought the
present suit. because Justice Mills in
his decision suggests and the Sug-
Cestion amounts practically to orders
that Thaw at Matteawan be re-
stored to the privileges he enjoyed
during the first three months OF his
stay there and that his mother be al
lowed all the possible privileges and
treated with every consideration
when she calls to see him.
Thaw will remain in the jail at
least until tomorrow when his attOr-
ncy will be given a chance to make
any formal motions before Justice
Mills at his chambers in Mount Yer
non.
The prisoner took the decision
coOlly. His only statement was a
denial Of the assertion in the court s
ouinion that he still cherished the
same delusions that drove him to
shoot White.
In formal language Justice Mills
decision dismissed the writ of habeas
corpus under which Thaw applied for
his liberty and ''remanded him to the
custody of the defendant '-C CDR Rob
crt r. Lamb. superintendent of
Matteawan state hospital-)
I'm concluding that Thaw is now in
sane the court gives first Importance
to his family and childhood history
His determination that the prisoner
has not Vet recovered, IS based prln-
Cipally on the opinion Of Dr.. Amos
Baker. assistant superintendent Of
MatteaWan asylum.
'-All such authorities says Justice
Mills ARE public officers with no con
ccivable motives except to do their
duty.

The court says it was moro con
viuced by the testimony of the
aIienists called for the state than by
that of the prisoners experts Re
gardng DR.. Brtton d. Evans, he
says
He experienced great difficulty in
reCouCiHug his present opinion with
his previous attitude in connection
with the homicide trials and to my
mind did not entirely succeed in so
doing
Thaw evidently made a bad i'm

both on and off the witness stand.
