A BIG SUNDAY FIGHT AT

Andy Honkey and Will Roberts
Have Fight Over Latter's Wife.

The population of the Baxter
Jail was augmented a little last
Sunday afternoon when officers
from Garden township brought
in Andy Honkey and Will Rob

1t is said several large holes
were made in the atmosphere of
the peaceful little village Of Low
ell last Sunday afternoon, when
cuss words filled the air, and
shrieks of anger followed one
after another.
It seems that few months ago
Will Roberts married the fair
Ada, and after living with her a
short time decided to 60 to st.
Louis to find work which Would
suit him. He. came back the
other day and found his one time

enough bedroom in the house to
make things look just right so
he started something, with the
result that Honkey ordered him
off the place. But he demurred
the order and would NOT go. The
immediate and quick result of the
affair was that the two fellows
got into a fight and Roberts was
getting the best of the fray,
when the aforesaid fair Ada
rushed to her affinity's assistance
with a piece of rope which she
used in tieing Roberts feet to-
gether with. Then it would have
been comparatively easy for Hon
key to have made short shrift of
Roberts, but at this time some
others rushed in and put an end
to the hostilities. The bunch
was brought to this city and in
carcerated in Jail. They will
have an opportunity of airing
their troubles in court.

It is Shame.

The people of Miami spent
considerable money and energy
to secure the exhibits and lee
lures of the State Agricultural
and Mechanical School, and an
invitation was extended to the
farmers of Ottawa county to go
to Miami and receive the bene-
fits of the exhibits and lectures.
There was fine horses and cat
tie, talented instructors and lee
turers, but the farmers of OF
tawa county did not seem to ap-
preciate the good things that
had been brought to their very
doors, and only a few of them,
comparatively speaking, attend
ed. 1t was a hard blow to those
people who spent their time and
money to secure those things,
and we believe the farmer who
had a chance to be benefited by
going and did not will rue it
later on. 1t would have been a
very profitable trip for them, but
they did not see fit to avail
themselves of the opportunity.

cent rains. The water system
is in better condition than ever,
and many improvements of a
permanent nature are being
made.
Applications for accommoda-
tions are just rolling in, and
from present indications every
thing is going to be all that
could be desired.
Parties intending to get a lot
of enjoyment out of the reunion
should make arrangements to
camp. on the grounds during the
week. as that is the way to have
a good time, and avoid the dis
comforts of going back and
forth to town.
The Frisco is going to give
unexcelled train service into the
grounds, and there is going to
be a police force sufficiently
large to maintain perfect order.

cause there is going to be plenty

London, April II. The Mexi-

much attention in the British

have been expressed.
The Standard and the Morning
Post consider that United States
intervention is not yet justified.
The Post iikens the situation to
that which preceded the Span
ish war, and says:
"The Americans may disclaim
a desire for territorial expansion,
but whether in Liberia, the Far
East or Central America, they
are prepared cheerfully to en-
bark on courses of policy leading
directly to consequences for
"hich they profess such distast'.

Hung Jury
In the Clark Trial
Case Against Ex.Treasurer OF Ora.
ham Comfy Lasted Four days
Jury Discharged

The Jury in the case of the
Territory of Arizona VS.. Ben K.
Clark, ex-treasurer of Graham
county charged with embezzle-
ment, after having been out for
twenty-four hours and being un-
able to reach a verdict, was dis
charged on Friday afternoon. 1t
is understood that the verdict
stood 8 for conviction and A for
acquittal.
The case was vigorously fought
on both sides. The prosecution
was conducted by Dristrict Attor-
ney McAlister and w. C. McFar-
land. Ex-Gov. Jos. Kibbey, W.
R. Chambers and Lee Stratton
looked after the interests of the
defendant. A large number of
witnesses and a mass of docu-
mentary evidence was introduced.
The jury selected to try the
case was composed of B. B..
Adams, ELDERS Hotch, Ira Smith,
R. A. Bryce, T. T. Wilson, w.
K. Holyoke, r. H. Samuel, Ste
phen Bryar, w. A. Wilson, w.
K. Daily, L Wightman and l..
R. Pace.
The jury was out practically
twenty-four hours.
When the jury came into court
and announced they were unable
to reach a verdict they were dis
charged. District attorney Nc
Alister asked that the defedant
be held for trial at the next term
of court which convenes in Solo
knoxville in October.
Ben R Clark has been a resi-
dent Of Graham county for many
years; at one time sheriff of Gra-
ham county and has held many
positions of trust to his credit,
He always took a lively interest
in politics. Clark was indicted at
the last term of court and was
released on bond.
There are still three indict-
ments pending against the defen-
dant besides the one that he has
now been tried on.

Auditor Closes Concern

Territorial Auditor George A.
Mauk has taken charge of the
books ard papers of the Jackson
Loan & Trust Company Of this
city, and the company's business
place has been closed. 1t is said
the company had failed to give
the bond required by law and
that it had also failed to obtain a
license for the transaction of it's
business.
Following the action outlined
above, the auditor notified Gov
ernor Sloan and it is said now
that Attorney General Wright
will go into court and ask the APP
pointment of a receiver to wind
up the affairs of the concern. J.
H. Berry is president and j. A.
Morrison secretary and manager
of the company.
The: plan of business of this
company, as shown by it's blank
contracts and advertising matter,
was to sell contracts on small
payment, this to be followed by
regularly monthly installments.

Special Meeting

A special meeting was called
for the Commercial club last
Monday night to make arrang-
merfts for sending a delegate to
the Good Roads convention at
Phoenix the last of this week.
A call has been made by
Gov. Sloan for a convention of
this kind to meet this week in
Phoenix: delegates are to be sent
by Boards of Supervisors and
Commercial organizations. Coun-
ty surveyor Tunis, wrote our or
ganization to send a delegate,
hence the necessity of calling a
special meeting to attend to this
matter. Our Club decided to send
q delegate and L. ]. Turney was
the unanimous choice Of the body.
There is being a Territorial
road surveyed across from Phoe-
nix by the way of Globe, Solo
knoxville and on to Clifton; it is
important that Greenlee county
do all in it's pow er to get this road
and it is necessary that Duncan
get this road as near as possible.
With this Territorial Highway
striking the valley at Coronado
it will be accessible for all parts
of this section and the benefit
derived from such highway
cannot be overestimated.
Our organization acted aromp-
ly and it shows that good judge
ment and sincere purpose to
promote the welfare of this Sec
ton is characterizing it's acts.
