BulIard Decided to Stick to His Orig inaI Intention of Trying for
 Attorney generaIship.

There is yet another mixup in the plans of the Maricopa county demo- crats. The effort to induce George Purdy Bullard to come to the rellei of the managers by consentlng |" make the race for superior judge has failed. The office of attorney general looks pretty good to Bullard and he will stick to his original intention and make a fight for that office.
 The leaders are now busy looking around for some one to put on the ticket instead of MT. Bullard. The most promising suggestion is that of Frank H. Lyman, the present assistant district attorney and chairman of the county executive committee.
 Lyman is out of the city and 1t IS not known if he will consent to try for this office or not He had been slated for the nomination for district attorney and it is not known whether he wants a judgeship. And in the event he does consent to allow ms name to be used, somebody will have

 MT. Kirk says that he was entirely successful in his mission, as far as he could hope to be. He found the gen tlemen he went to see very much in terested and inclined to take the mat ter up but like all investors they will only proceed on business principles. To that end they have arranged to send experts here to look his proposi tion over and if it is what they un- derstand it to be. there will be no trouble in financing it.

 ROCKY ROAD First Curry Hearing is Set
 For This Morning
 SECOND FOR WEDNESDAY
Young Man, Enjoying His Liberty Under a Parole, Has Been Hitting Up an Extremely Rapid Pace Recently.

It's rather rocky road that lies ahead of J. F. Curry. who will face Justice Johnstone at two o'clock to- day on a charge of stealing a horse and buggy from Jesse Collins, and again tomorrow 10 answer to an accu- sation of having unlawfully taken and carried away a gun, some shells. and a pair of boots from the Goldberg store. Curry is an old offender and is now at liberty on a parole granted by Judge Kent.
 The affair of the horse and buggy happened some little time ago. It seems that Curry did not take them for keeps. but merely for the purpose of riding to his home. which is about sev- en miles from the city. on his arrival he tied the reins over the dashboard. and started the horse back to the city.
 This case would not have attracted so much attention if it had not been for Curry's subsequent alleged exploits. The other day he went to the Goldman store where he bought a gun. some shells. and pair of boots He did not pay for the articles but left them, say

Foundation for s4ooo of Payments Sixty
 Days Hence Laid in One Day.

Nine mineral applications for patent were made in the United States land office at Phoenix yesterday. one of them covering 66O acres of land divided into many locations Such a thing as nine mineral locations in one day is not casually supposed to he of record in the history of the office nor in many if any of the various others scattered over Uncle Sam's wide domain. Some offices have vet tO see what they look like The Phoenix office, though, is hoping for still better things.
 With each application came s10 just to help Uncle Sam defray expenses. Sometime soon after sixty days from now. when legal public notice has been given of these applications, & an acre on the number of acres included in each application will come along to also help Uncle Sam pay his boys" who do the work of looking after these things and to mitigate the taxes of others. and that will total something like s4OOO to be so applied, for which the entrymen will. in all probability get title to the land and mineral there in contained
 Seven of the applications cover land located within the Navajo Indian res ervation. one covers the 660 acres in Yuma county. and the other location near Ray with some doubt vet as to whether it is in Gila or Pinal county
 This is the reason the employees of the land office were so happy yester- day. It was a notable day in the his tory of the office. Whey felt that they were really earning their money and more; and then it indicates that some one else is taking developmental in terest in Uncle Sam's domain.
