THE WHEELS OF JUSTICE
ARE WORKED OVERTIME
TWO INTERPRETERS ARE RE.
QuiRED TO ukTANGlE
WITNESS.
The Defendant Held BlaneIess and
Also Held Till Late Hour.

To that class of individuals who
have the idea firmly fixed in their
minds that a justice of the peace is an
office holder whose chief aVoeation is
the drawing OF his fees would have
been convinced otherwise Monday
night when the technicalities and other
'calities incident to the legal profession
We're wrestled over until toward the
beginning of another day.
II developed that Garcia in company
with another Mexican, came down
from Granite Reef tanked up a trifie
and began to show every Chinaman in
Mesa just where they stood on the yell
low peril controversy by a practical
demonstration. Garcia is the man who
saw the knife something like six feet
in length in the hands of the waiter
in Hi Logs place, and he maintained
throughout the trial that il could not
be much less However when Justice
Irwin lined up the plaintiff ct al and
the defendant ct al it took on the
aspect of an international controversy
with the republic of Mexico and the
Chinese empire. Garcia acted as in
terpreter for his companion while on
the stand. while Hi 10y acted as inter
prefer for his employee, a boy named
QuOng Fee. In order for both parties
to come to an understanding Garcia
interpreted into English what his wit
nesses were saying when Hi Loy took
il up in English and turned it over to
his employe in Chinese. The justice
took his in straight English. Garcia
was sure that there was never a more
orderly man came down from Granite
Reef than he and he stood BY it.
Quong Fee the defendant told a di-
rectly different story. Quong Fee
could not understand Garcia and Gar
cia could not understand Quong Fee
and they kept hopeiessly at a variance.
An ordinary white man was found
along toward early candlelight who
testified that Garcia had come to Hi
Logs place and started the row and
also that he had started a row in
Wing Hong's place which is a restaur-
ant next door. Wing Hong was sent
for and while he was disturbed In his
dreams of going back TO China and
opening a bank, he was nevertheless
ready and willing to tell how Garcia
had created a disturbance in his place
Garcia was again placed on the stand
and confessed that he had been com
hitting purjury all the way along but
that-be saw such a good opening he
could hardly resist the temptation.
Justice Irwin at once began a severe
arraignment which left him in doubt
as to whether he would rather be
chopped to pieces by an angry China
man or sent to Yuma for thousand
years. At any rate Quong Fee was
discharged at late hour and all pres
ent went to their many places of abode
without voting their host a semblance
Of thanks.

Poles From Station.

The Consolidated Telephone, Tele-
graph and Electric company among
other things has given it out officially
that they will in a short time COM
mence a general overhauling of their
Mesa system, the most important fea-
ture of which win be that the poles
that are now located on Main and
Macdonald streets will be taken down
and the lines made to run through the
alleyways on either side of Main and
Macdonald streets. Manager r. NJ.
Buehler OF the Phoenix district, was
Mesa visitor yesterday and had as
his object the arranging of a general
oYerhauling of this particular part of
the line. II is not exactly known just
how the arrangements will be complet-
ed for the securing of a right of way
since the city does not own the alleys
through which the telephone line con-
templates running their lines. How
ever in the event that the alleyways
are not decided over to the city then
the telephone company will of neces-
sity buy right Of way. However &C
cOrding TO Mr.. Buehier the poles are
to be taken off Main street in any
event. which within itself is a feature
worth commencing.
Another feature which has already
been decided upon is that of the line
running from the p & f. station to
Main street. The reclamation service
and the Consolidated have united on
this proposition and will commence
work the latter part of this week or
the first nf naYt The pnlpS 10 no

the effect that the Mill Out sale is a

Ty Cobb, the best base runner in
the American league, has played

one hundred and second game was
credited with SO stolen bases.
You don't wonder at Cobb's

But when you size up Bescher,
you DO wonder. He looks like a

But he is deceptive.
Bescher recalls Bill LANCE when

SAN JOSE, Cal, Aug. 23.-The
authorities today are investigating
the death of Joseph Perry, a
rancher, who was found lying I'M
conscious in a barn on his ranch
with a cash on the side of his
head. Near him was a blody axe.
The man died without regaining
consciousness. Whether or not
he was murdered is a mystery.
The police are inclined to believe
that he came to his death from
other causes than the axe wound
on the head as it was not deemed
of fatal nature.
A chemical analysis will be
made of the rancher's stomach to-
day with the view of ascertaining
whether or not Perry died from
the effects of poison.
