Governor Haskell denounced the
statements contained in an Oklahoma
City newspaper extra as an infamous
lie" saying:

terms to that effect, | denounce as an

Roy Hoffman, chief officer of the state
troops, and we decided that the Chand-
Ter and Tulsa companies should be
called out in case any should be need

any company"
James Menefee, state treasurer, was
cited for contempt at Guthrie Satur-

pear before Judge Huston this morning

records of his Office for shipment when
Sheriff Mahoney served the papers. He
continued the work and the records are
now on their way to Oklahoma City.
Other state officers continued pack
ing their records and it is expected that
they will practically all be shipped to
Oklahoma City by Tuesday.
Attempt was made by Guthrie at
torneys Saturday afternoon to obtain
a renewal of their injunction slit in
the state supreme court, but the court
refused to take cognizance of the case
in Guthrie by issuing a restraining
order, informing the attorneys that
they would hear the matter at 10
o'clock Tuesday in Oklahoma City.
The hearing will be in the White
Temple church, Third and Broadway.
Notice was served on the state officials
here Saturday afternoon by the attor-
neys that they would ask for a tenn

the officers were in contempt of his
court as the result of the Injunction
granted by him against the removal of

ADJUSTMENTS
COLISEUM.

Beginning with return engage ment of the Cheyenne frontier day cele- bratIon pictures Monday evening. this will be a week Of big things at the Coliseum. Manager Reeves has lined up few bills so diversified in char acter and giving snch promise of be- ing unusually good as the one that will open Tuesday evening.
 The Cheyenne pictures were first shown here last Monday night. a few hours after Roosevelt had left town. As the people of Phoenix had seen a great deal of the strenuous enc that day, they were of unusual interest, for Roosevelt appears at several places in the pictures. Every inch of the 3.000 feet of film is interesting. Bronco rid ing, steer tying and many other inter esting features of the frontier day cele- bration were shown. 1t has been a long time since a set of pictures shown at any Phoenix house has met with such an enthusiastic reception.
 A strong man act, a singing. talking and dancing team, and two beautiful young Spanish dancers-how does that sound for vaudeville bill? Well, it is some bill.
 The strong man is billed as Young Sandow.' He has been playing "big time" on the coast and is recognized as about the best in his line on the stage today. He breaks chains, bends iron bars and performs other features of strength that astound one.
 Coffman & Carroll is the name of the comedy pair. The Mulatto and the CoOn," the title of the sketch they pre- sent, gives some idea of the character of their work. They do more than present a mere comedy sketch, how ever, being excellent dancers and sing CTS. It is understood that they are singing some of the very latest songs.
 The Spanish dancers are two beau tiful young women known as Matilda & Alvira. They do Spanish songs and dances, with several changes of cos tune. Their wardrobe is made up of beautiful dresses, representing the pre- vailing styles in Spain. They play the piano, trombone and castanets, and do other things too numerous to mention.

HEARD IN THE L0BB|ES

The man who originated the ex- pression "damning with faint praise" obliged the whole world by putting into those four words the result of a carefully measured and qualified in dorsement of any person, place. or thing. which, because of its half heartedness has a more evil effect than an out and out condemnation. Warner Thompson, a prominent at torney of Albion. New York who arrived here last Monday evening to stay a week or ten days, spoke last night in the Ford lobby of a descrip- tion he had once heard of the terri
 tory of Arizona. The person he men tioned lauded the territory in true booster fashion, but ruined his en-
 comium by adding something to this effect. Arizona is a good territory, all right, and the Salt River Valley is the best part of it. All the Salt River Valley needs to make it hab
 itable is water and society, two things which he evidently thought it could never have. Somebody fol-
 lowed up this statement by adding that those two things were about all the place of everlasting punishment

In con sequence of her long residence here. she was widely NnOwn, and had many friends who will unite with her family in mourning her death. Her death was dOubly sorrOwful because of her age 8 years. and the family of six children she leaves behind her. Until the be- ginning of her last illness Mrs. McEl- haney was in good health. and it IS difficult for the bereaved family to reconcile themselves to her departure

Her death had been expected for some time, as she had suffered from an acute form of lung trouble for the last four months, but everything pos sible was done to avert the inevitable end. The services of physicians. sev- eral of whom were consulted. proved unavailing to arrest the progress of the dread disease. and yesterday Mrs McEihaney's children and father were notified that her condition was critical Late in the afternoon it was evident that she was sinking rapidly. and as they gathered around her, she passed quietly away.

 l. E. Scott is a Colorado stock man who signs himself from Denver. Mir. Scott, when interviewed at the Ford hotel last evening told some inter- esting things about the cattle busi- ness ia his state, and his remarks ought to be published for the bene- fit of those who forget that there are others. In the first place the cattle in Colorado Were threatened with starvation in the early part of the winter as the ranges were short of feed. Had snowfall been as heavy it generally is in the mountains the cattle men would have suffered heavily. But fortunately the ranges were more or less open all through the winter months. and as the spring storms are ended, and the grass be- gins to come up the stockmen will see their cattle pick up and they will find at the roundup that the winter has brought them very little, if any loss MT. Scott arrived here from Albuquerque. and will stay about a week longer.
