TRIAL TODAY.

Last week John Hydcr swore out d warrant charging Joe Fink with as sault. The case will come up for trial tomorrow. Some time ago John Hyde had been up town rater late at night just as he ncarcd the gate into his yard he noticed a man jump out from behind a tree the man ad- vanced toward him and with an oath struck at his head. Hyde threw up his hand to ward off the blow and the hand was hit with such a force as to break two fingers in his hand 'as well as to bruise his face to 9 cer- tain extent Hyder called for help, iDr. Brechan responded immediately, but when Dr. Brechan arrived thee was no one there save Hydcr. John Hyder says that he recognized his as sailant as Fink and sWore ou war rant for him few days later. There has been bad blood between th.ssa two men for some time and they have had more or less trouble. The case will come to trial this afternoon at one o'clock.

A LINCOLN REMINIscENCE.
His Comment When a Mule Brayed
 in the Midst of a Speech.

Tt was at an Independence Day fes- tival at an Illionis town in 1859 that I first saw old Abe writes George T. Ferris in the Columbian. When Mir Lincoln upheaved his awkward length from the chair where he sat coiled mp it was with a tense and ac- tive spring and a face bcaming with smiles which transfigured it.
 Through the general clamor hund- reds of voices cried Howdy, Abe? The speakers voice at the outset was a shrill falsetto that cut like knife; but after talking a few minutes 1t stcaied into a strident compelling tone that. never Ccasing to bc a little harsh, obscssed attention and trans mutcd dissonance into a more subtle music

He had just made some allusion to Sena- tor stephen Douglas when one of the mules picketed around the in- closure began to bray.

 The audience roared. After the speech when the barbecue was in full blast some one said:
 Abe I wish you had told us more about that Freeport speech of yours last year."
 The readers of to-day may be re- minded that in that speech Mir. Lin coin put the query to his brilliant an tagonist. the answer to which proved in it's effect to have had as much to do in precipitating the Civil war as did the John Brown raid. The Lincoln question was whether on the popular

HUNTING WHALES WITH PICTURE
 MACHINE.

The burst of speed was soon ended, and the whale sounded" for ten min utes. giving us all a chance to breathe and wonder what had happened. When the animal came up again. far ahead the spout was high and full, with no trace O. blood, so we knew that he would need a second harpoon to finish him. I ran below to get the cinemat- rograph and tripod, and set it up on the bridge while the gun was being loaded. The winch was then started and the whale drawn slowly toward the ship. He persisted in keeping in the sunlight, which drew a path of glittering. dancing points of light. beau tiful to see, but fatal to pictures. l shouted to Captain Anderson, asking him to wait bit and let the whale go down, hoping it would rise in the other direction He did so, and the animal swung around, coming up just as I wished, so that the sun was al most behind us it was now near enough to begin work, and I kept the crank of the machine steadily revolv- ing whenever it rose to spout. The whale was drawn in close under the Low. and for several minutes lay strain ing heaving. trying to free himself from the biting iron.

THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

While it is the youngest church in Mesa, the Christian has built up quite large congregation and is having a large portion of financial success as well as spiritual. During the past sum mer (almo-t passed) the church organ ization has been without a regular pas tor. but the organization has been kept up Sunday School and church meetings have been held and the members have increased in numbers. The past three Sunday nights Rev F. N. Phillips, of Phoenix has preached to large congre- gations in the Mesa church, and they have been interesting to members and sinners alike. The excellent music oi the choir has added much to the pleas ure and profit of the meetings and is deserving of special mention. Their names are Omar Mccullough, J. NJ Beach, Mrs. H. C. Holcomb, Mrs. J. M Beach. Mrs. Joel Barton and Mrs. l. Riggin, with Mrs. Prank E. CUrley at the piano. The anthems given by tn, choir are equal to many heard il churches where there are many moro voices.

MESA
A BUNCH OF DRUNKS.

Sunday evening and night there was 'complaint that party of men and wo' men of unusually lively disposition were having a fight in the north part of town Marshall Peterson was called tp the scene, and, while there was no fighting at the time, there was a drunken satunalia in progress that constituted at least a disturbance of the peace. Two women were talking fight and one man had a hand in the row. The marshall arrested the man, who gave his name as Marc Aguilar, and could have arrested the women, but Mesa has no women's cell, and the marshall did not want to sit up all night and watch them. The man paid Ia 5000 fine yesterday, claiming that he had been to the wicked city of Phoe- nix, where he had been persuaded to part with a portion of his wealth for fiery booze

BUSINESS SUSPENDED WHEN MESA HEARD NEWS

A few minutes before three o'clock the news was received in Mesa of the signing of the Arizona and New Mexi- co statehood bill. and within a few minutes the whistles were blowing at all establishments using steam or that had whistles to blow, about 10000 fire crackers were burned and flags were run up over the Mesa City Bank, the Togsery. Everybody's and from many private. houses Those who had no flag poles hung smaller flags to the porchcs and out of windows. The town 500 took on gala-day attire, Men gathered on the street corners and shook hands, congratulating themselves and Arizona generally that the long fight was over, and that so far as congrcss-and the powers at Washington were corcerned the statehood question is settled. There is no doubt of the re suit of the election, in the min Is of the Mesa people. All loyal citizens will vote for the adoption of the bill as amended. President Taft is in much greater favor than he ever was. Said one man who has held out for the con stitution as the convention framed it:
 President Taft is a pretty good fcl- low; I am glad he has shown that he had the nerve ro do what he believed right, in spite of majority of congress and against the protests of the Arizona politicians. Better a man in the presi- dential chair who will stand for what he is confident is right, than to be sway ed by every wind that blows
 Very little business was transacted after the receipt of the news in Mesa. Men began at once talking politics anent the election of territorial and county officers which will mo doubt be held during the coming fall There is Ia general opinion that the best men should be selected to fill the territorial offices. and especially tEat the very ablest men in the territory should be sent to Washington to represent the people Mesa is alive with patriots. and no doubt some of them will bob up when the primaries are called.

The bcautifLl gray body was lying quietly at the surface when the smoke .cleared away, tut in a few seconds the whale righted himself with a convul- sive heave. The poor animal was not dead yet, although the harpOOn had gone entirely through him. Captain Anderson called for one of the long. slender lances which were triced up to
 the ships rigging. and after a few more
 turns of the winch had brought the
 whale right under the bows, he began
 iabbing the steel into its side, throw ing his whole weight on the lance. The whale was pretty sick and did not last long. and before the roll of cine mOtOgraph film had been exhausted it sank straight down, the last feeble ! blow leaving a train of round. white [ bubbles on the surface.-ROy Chapman

CIDER VINEGAR MUST GO.

The astonishing revelation is made that pure food legislation has pro duced a monopoly in an inferior pro duct. The agricultural law of New York prohibits the sale of vinegar which has not an acidity equivalent to the presence of at least 4i2 per cent. by weight, of absolute acetic acid. Since acidity is most desirable iT vinegar, this seems tO be a prop e. requirement.; but pure apple cider vinegar. it is said, will not develop this amount of acetic acid. In any event. it is without question that all pure apple cider will not do SO for there are in the cellars of farmers all over the state thousands of bar rels of such vinegar which cannot be put on the market because of this peculiar kink in the agricultural law. -Leslie's.

 His friends adjured him not to put that proposition. that if Douglas an swered it to the satisfaction of llli- nois audiences he would be re-elect- ed to the senate and Lincoln defeated in his effort to obtain the prize. MT Lincoln insisted and flung out that challenge.
 He justified it on the ground that the answer might recurc the Sena- torship: but that almost certainly It would defeat the candidacy of Doug

 that was by far the more important object
