, tion o: an infantry company in Doug las, Ariz.
 The petition will be granted and the company mustered in at the earliest date practicable. I have been holding the old com pany e" until such time as gou were ready to muster in. and ndw will have to muster out old company 'G" before I muster you in, as we can have but twelve companies. The troops will return from Alas cadera on the 2nd inst. and I will have the old company mustered out as soon as possible, probably within a week. I have written Captain Ev- a.s asking him what date would be best. When I know what date the old company will be mustered I will order the muster in of the new at or as near the same time as prac- ticable
 Allow me to compliment you on the long list of good American names at tached to your petition. I believe you will hay ethe banner company in point of numbers. That makes a good start. and the rest depends upor the officers and men as to what the company will be. Very respectfully,
 l.. W. COGGINS.

MILITARY COMPANY FOR DOUGLAS
 5 ASSURED BY C0GC|NS

DOUGLAS. Oct. 5.-(SpeciaD-
 Final assurance that Douglas is to have a company of Arizona militia was received yesterday when a let ter from Adjutant General L. w. Coggins was received by Lieutenant Homer J. Kuhn. The company will be Company G.. N. c. A." Thus the persistence of the promoters of the idea is rewarded. They pushed forward their plan in the face of difficulties in the way of apathy and lack of interest Where enthusiasm and interest was wanting they sup piled it and the second attempt tc organize a militia company has sue. ceeded. All that is necessary now, Lieutenant Kuhn states, is that there shall be at least sixty-one on the floor when the night for mastering in comes. This is indispensable and Douglas may be looked to to see this prerequisite carried out.
 The following is the letter which finally announces the determination to muster in the company here:
 Lieut. Homer J. Kuhn, Douglas. Ariz. ::

CLAIMS SLEEPING SICKNESS AS DEFENSE

DOUGLAS, Oct. 5.-(SpeciaD-
 The most novel excuse yet of. fered in the local courts was pre- sented by a Mexican who says he Is employed at the San Bernardino ranch and was found asleep in ths park last evening. He was arrested as a drunk, but that he had over imbibed he would not admit this morning.
 Tt was not my fault. Judge, 1 was sick and many of my fritnds in town will tell this to you. 1 am under treatment by doctors for this sick ness that makes me fall down and go to sleep most anywhere. I can never tell when am going to sleep" The defendant admitted that he had taken just a little drink and that his sleeping sickness" always attacked him when he had taken just a wee nippy, no matter how small. The court presumed that he only remem- bered his first drink and assessed a penalty of ten dollars or ten days. Evidently the prisoner had read about the African dread sleeping sickness which had appealed to him. and which made such an impression that he decided to use 1t as an ex. cuse on the first occasion that ot fered.
 Another Mexican was fined five dol. lars for throwing papers in the streets, Eli Robinson, colored, pleads not guilty to aggravated assault in beating his little girl with a stick of wood, and there were several plain drunks, among whom was one who admitted drinking. falling into the storm ditch and losing his hat, but pleaded not guilty of being drunk

He agreed to give me lO0 picked COWS and bulls and s250O.0O and to deed him lands and retire. gladly agreed to take even this mis- erable offer, told him 10 deliver cat tie to Pate and come to Moctezuma bringing all papers to Mir Geo. F.
 Woodward, my legal attorney, who
 would execute the proper transfer.
 Pate received cattle and as I decided
 to pay my indebtedness I procured a
 buyer. Thinking Brewer would com ply with the rest, but on my return
 was informed by MT. Woodward that
 Brewer wanted to obtain transfer of ranch by giving his (worthless note for two years) and demanding of me
 an absolute guarantee of titles, etc.
 immediately told MT. Woodward to
 have nothing more to do with him
 and I broke the sale of the cattle,
 and although they were my own in my old legal brand I turned them
 loose and requested Mir Woodward to

 and was leaving the country. Brewer agreed to all this, but after my
 brother left him he made threats
 that he would kill me first Now ths day of the meeting was when I had

 Although the ranch and cattle are legally and honorably mine I in structed my brother and MT. Wood ward to see that the brewer family gets payment for cattle and stock. as I have no hard feelings for them.
 I close by thanking you for your attention and state that the act was involuntary, unpremeditated and un- sought for by me. Bray's article in a dispatch was a falsehood from start to finish.
 Brewer lived thirty minutes, re- peatedly declaring to doctor and oth- CT intachable witnesses that he alone was to blame, that he agitated all this. and never expressed hatred or blame on any one, excepting himself. He remained conscious and in full possession of mind and will and had ample time to blame outsiders if he had any such thoughts.

Washington, Sept. 13.-With Presi
dent Taft's cabinet meeting only about
ten days off, official Washington Is full
of speculation as to who will be named
to succeed Associate Justice William
Fl. Moody of the supreme court when
MIR. Moody resigns. The latest gossip,
and 1t Is founded on some knowledge
of the presidents mind, is that Charles
-Nagel, secretary Of commerce and la
Dor, is being seriously considered for
this place.
Mr.. Nagel is regarded by the presi-
dent as a very able lawyer. He comes
from the Eighth judicial district and
the president has desired to appoint a
man, If possible, from that circuit.
Lloyd W. Bowers, solicitor general,
who died in Boston Saturday. was
slated for a supreme court vacancy
