Retribution Swift and Sure

Just two weeks to day elapsed between the murder of Louis D. Yaeger and the passing of the death penalty on Aleiandro Gallegos, his slayer. Gallegos pleaded guilty to murder in the first degree at Pres. colt last Tuesday, and Judge E. M. Doe sentenced him to be executed at the territoritial penitentiary on July 29.
 Gallegos' only excuse for the crime was that he had been drink ing. He said through an inter- preter, when asked by the judge to give any reason why he felt that elemencY should be exercised: "I was the same as crazy man that day. I had drunk a bottle of whisky and was mad at the mixing of the sheep" When sentence of death was pronounced, the mur- derer bowed, made a sweeping gesture with his hand and re- marked, "Mucho bueno."

Gratifying Announcement

"The California Limited," the famous overland train of the Santa Fe system, will no longer confne it's passengers to those having transportation for 100 miles or over as has been the rule of the com, pany up to this time.
 B. J. Nordyke, local agent of the Santa Fe, received information this week that hereafter the train will be available for those with first class passage for any distance.
 This announcement will be grat- flying to residents of towns on the main line. Before the change was made passengers were compelled to purchase-even if travelling only between Williams and Ash Fork, a distance of 23 miles-enough addi. tional mileage to bring their tick cts up to the necessary hundred miles if they found it impossible to wait for another train than the California Limited.
 The removal of the rule will serve to make the train service of the Santa Fe more convenient to the people along the main line, and the reputation of the Limited as fast and luxurious train will not suffer in any respect by the change.

THINGS THAT A MAN FORGETS
He Seldom Keeps the Saw sharpened
or Remembers Where the
Glass Gutter Is.

Once in while you find a prudent
and practical man who keeps about
him all manner of tools and things
that come in handy when needed, but
generally a man waits until the need
overtakes him and then he begins to
scheme and plot. He breaks a window
pane, and having a large pane, de-
cides he will cut it and fit it in. But
he has no glass cutter Then he
stuffs rag into the broken pane or
pastes piece of paper over it, and
waits for spring.
He finds it necessary to saw some
plank, and remembers that he intend
ed to have his saw sharpened and set.
So he gnaws off the ends of the plank
with the saw and looks about for the
hammer.
Confound 1.-THE handles broken
He's been intending to get a new one.
but it is such an unusual thing he has
never gotten at 1t.
That's natural human failing
Careless, maybe, but just as natural
as to leave a street car and forget,
caring nothing about its future opera
tons or it's future destination.-Dallas

QUEER BLUNDERS IN COURTS
French Judge Divorces Petitioners
lawyer-SimiIar Error Made by
Magistrate In England.

Some years ago, it is said, legal
blunder of most extraordinary char
acter was committed in one of the di-
vorce courts in Paris. BY some mis-
apprehension on the part of the presid.
ing Judge, whose papers and mind had
got confused, he actually mistook the
name OF an ads>cate who had been
arguing petition for the name of the
petitioner himself, and in granting and
signing the decree of dissolution of
marriage OF the petitioner unwittingly
substituted the advocates name for
the petitioners, and thus divorced the
lawyer from his wife instead of grant
ing the prayed-for release of the advo
Gates client. AS the lawyer had no
desire for separation from his wife.
and as there was no process for an.
nulling an absolute decree for divorce.
even to meet such a remarkable case,
1t became necessary. through the ju-
dicial error. for the man of law to re-
marry his spouse without delay, and
this he did.
somewhat similar error was com
mitted in the English Court OF Chan
Gerry. There had been a litigation
over some property, which was held
by one man and claimed by another
OF the same name. In evading some
order of the court the holder of the
property had committed a contempt,
and on this being called to the at
tentton of the Judge an order issued
for the summoning. not of the guilty
party, but of the claimant of the same
surname, and the order, very Sc
we're one, was actually in execution
before the error was discovered.
