BURNING ECZEMA
 QUICKLY SPREAD
Started Like Ringworm on Hand Hand SweIIed and Then HumoI Spread to Arms, Legs and Face II was Something Terrible.
PRESCRIPTIONS FAILED:
 CUTICURA CURED HIM

"I have used the Cuticura Remedies for very bad case of eczema with com plete success. About fifteen or eighteen years ago the disease developed in the shape of a large pinhead on top of my hand. It burned and itched SO much that I was compelled to show it to doc tor. He pronounced it ringworm, and made very light of it. He gave me a wash and told me to apply it before go- ing to bed and all would be over in the morning. But the next morning my hand was all swollen up and l poulticed it. When the doctor came to his office 1 showed him the hand and to my sur prise he told me that he had never ex- perienced such a case in his practice and said it was well I poulticed it. After trying his different remedies the disease increased and went up my arms and finally to my thighs and legs generally and finally on my face. The burning was something terrible. After I had tried this doctor, as I thought, long enough, went to another doctor who had the reputation of being the best in town. He told me it was bad case of eczema and that it would take quite while to cure it. His medicine checked the advance of the disease but no fur ther.
 II finally concluded to try the Cuti- cura Remedies. l bought cake Of Cuticura Soap, box of Cuticura Oint- ment and bottle of Cuticura Resolvent and found relief in the first trial. I con- tinued until was completely free from the disease and I have not been troubled with another attack since. I still use the Cuticura Ointment in my family as it is one of the best remedies to heal sore or other injury rapidly. I can freely and truthfully say that the Cuti- clira Remedies are the best so far as my experience went with them and am still recommending them, feeling sure am not making a mistake. c.

.GLEE CLUB IS FEATURE OF
 BRIDGE CAMPA|GNERs
ARGUMENTS AT MASS MEETING PRINCIPALLY SAME AS PRE-
 VIoUsLY PUBLISHED.
Song, Mesa Town," Sung to the Tune of "Jungletown" Was a Decisive
 Hit.

The mass meeting in the Mesa opera house Monday afternoon resulted in a review of practically all the arguments that have heretofore been presented through the columns of The Republi- can. A considerable of the time was taken up by the various members of the Center street committee in con- tradicting a number of the reported rumors in circulation. Among them was short talk by Dave Goldberg in which he read letters from the cashiers of three of the Phoenix banks in which they stated the respective balances in their institutions which aggregated the amount promised by the committee.
 While the glee club was not especial ly headlined in the posters they never theless proved to be a feature of the meeting and took the crowd by storm. The glee club members are C. D. Rob inston, Jack Turner, Harry Madden and Ben Massey, pianist. Their revis- ed version of "Jungletown" was the hit of the afternoon in Mesa and likewise the same at Alma in the evening meet ing. It ran as follows: Down in Mesa town The sun shines down The whole year round, So now lets take this vow I'll prove it now, I'll tell you how, Build a bridge at Center street, To span from shore to shore Then we will have no drowning in Salt
 river any more Let it ring. with a ping. This chorus we will sing

So now it's up to YOU, Stand by your town in cOlors true, And when you vote, You will not need boat To get to Mesa town. When this bridge is done, For miles they'll come, To spend their mon.

DESPERATE YAQu|
 IN COUNTY JAIL MIsINTERPRETATIoN OF ORDERS CAUSES CONSIDERABLE CONFUSION IN RE-
 ARREST.
Several Citizens Assisted in Handeuff-
 ing BeIIieose Native of Mexico.

Dolores Valenzuela was sentenced to sixty days in the county jail Monday afternoon on charge of resisting an officer. The justice did not ask for further evidence at the hearing for he was one of the principals in a hand to hand encounter which included Mar shal Peterson. Dan Mahoney and Jus tice Irwin. MT. Chappell, and street Workmen- and their tools
 Dolores was arrested in Mesa last fall on charge of drunkenness but he in some manner got away from the of ficer after serving out two days. The officer tried to capture the man and took Shot at him but missed his aim. Marshal Peterson saw the man on the streets Monday and thought he was the same man and took him in tow. He after considerable trouble landed him in the justices office when ruse was resorted to in order to get the man to own up to his real name which he did He gave several different names before accidentally hitting the one under which he was arrested in Mesa pre- viously. The marshal was instructed to take the man to jail but he had hardly got outside the court room when the prisoner started in the oppo- site direction. Dan Mahoney was a witness to the transaction and true to his flag he got in on the first round and became one of the principals in the controversy. Mir. Chappell was sitting on the lawn in front of the Alhambra hetel and saw the scuffle and came to offer his assistance. The marshal had previously placed a handcuff over the wrist. MT Mahoney had already got

SWING 0F BLACKSMITH'S
 GOOD RIGHT ARM A. L. BAUGH, EMPLOYED ON CHANDLER RANCH, sURREN-
 DERs TO OFFICERS. Man Named Ferguson Rendered Un- conscious For Several Hours by
 Single Blow.

What might have resulted in a trag- edy was the occurrence at the Chan dIer ranch Monday evening when A. L. Baugh, a blacksmith, struck Ben Fer guson one blow which rendered him unconscious for several hours.
 Ferguson revived yesterday and is again able to be up and around but he does not care to go through the experience again.
 A. l.. Baugh is employed as a black smith on the Chandler ranch and is considered one of the best natured of men. He weighs 22O pounds, and ev- cry pound appears to be bone and muscle He is the largest man in point of athletic avoirdupois that comes to Mesa
 Baugh came to Mesa immediately after the occurrence and gave himself up to Marshal Peterson, saving that he left the man unconscious and did not know whether he had killed him or not. Ferguson is quite large man but not nearly as muscular as Baugh Baugh was held for some time pending the result of Ferguson's injuries and as no complaint was filed the black smith was allowed to go back to work. promising as he did so to return to Mesa whenever he might be wanted. and the officers are of the opinion that he will do as he has agreed l
 According to Baugh, he was going along the path carrying a bucket of water when he met Ferguson. whose wife iS a poal< af tba rannb IA oIo;r., that Ferguson said something about

him staying away from his (Fergu- son's) house, when Baugh took offense, set the pail of water which he was carrying down on the ground and struck him a right swing. After Fer guson went down. Baugh immediately began flashing water in his face trying to revive him but without avail and then went for help.
 It appears that Ferguson does not have great deal of sympathy from the fact that he had no reason for making the remark which caused Baugh to become angered. A telephone communication from the ranch yester- day was to the effect that the injured man was getting along all right.

a grip on the mans neck and had stopped all respiratory and circulatory movements when MT. Chappell was asked by the marshal to please put the handcuff on the faqui's free arm. The prisoner was by this time down but continued to fight like a Bengal tiger. According to a rumor on the street which was circulated by anAeye witness to the affair it appears that MT. Chap pell grabbed the handcuff that was dangling from the mans arm and snapped it around his ankle. There however seemed to be a little doubt on this point. It has not been explained whether Mir Chappell understood the marshal to say Put that handcuff on here" or whether he said Put the handcuff on there" At any rate MT Chappelrs leg and the Yaqui's hand were in line and being more familiar with his leg it is presumed that he chose this rather than make any new acquaintances.
 While the melee was progressing Dan Mahoney slackened up an instant to get new grip and the man still showed a belligerent attitude where upon the justice was called down from his bench and asked to remove his glasses and see what could be done about executing the order to place the man in jail. The man by this time was nearly smothered into insensibility and the top row of citizens and officers be- gan to pile off.

SUPERVISORS LIMITED
 BY THE AMOUNT AsKEDFOR
Not a Cent More Than That Can the Bridge Cost Taxpayers.

To the Editor of The Republican:
 Sir:-Now that the S5O,O00 bonus and the route of the Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa electric street car line has been disposed of and settled, the question of the board of supervisors having to eXpend sums of money in excess of the s50,0O0 called for in the election for the Center street settled principle of law, that no board settled pricniple of law, that no board or any aggregation of men, having in charge the expenditure of public funds, can eXpend one dollar in eX- cess of the sum set forth in any appropriation, nor can any portion of it be spent for any other purpose than that named in the law. So the board of supervisors of Maricopa county cannot, even if it desired so to do. expend one dollar in excess of the S50,000 named in the petition for the construction of the Center street bridge. The law reads as follows:
