WAR ON MOSQUITOES

If this condition of affairs should
come to pass the health of the world
would be greatly improved, but the
mosquito would still be left to tanta-
lize mankind. However, the destruc-
tion of this insect also has been made
the subject Of serious consideration.
The New Jersey health department
has sounded what 1t hopes will prove
the death kncll of this insect Its
breeding places have been attacked,
and good results have been accom-
rlished. Wealthy Montclair. in New

undated zeal. and not long ago the
health board proceeded against Il resi-

THE COURT WENT \ LITTLE STRONG
Why Writ Of Habeas Corpus Was
 Granted Martin Marquez.

There was a session of the su- perlor court yesterday at which sev- eral matters were considered, among them the application of E. B. Good win, attorney for Martin Maruuez. for writ of habeas corpus
 MarqueZ had been convicted before a justice of the peace of Wicken burg precinct of beating his wife and precautions had been taken that ii should not happen again soon. Mar quez was sentenced to pay a fine of $10 and that was done Then he was put under a peace bond of s25O which he was unable to give
 In the judgment, the justice of the reace had evidently anticipated such failure for he added that in lieu of the peace bond. Marquez should remain in the custody of the sheriff one day for each dollar The appli- cation for the writ was based on the irregularity of the commitment as we'll as on the fact that the court had exceeded it's jurisdiction in i'm posing term of Imprisonment longer by seventy days under the ole law and longer by ninety days un- der the new law than he could do The application was not resisted and the writ was granted

SWOLLEN BODY
 LAY IN DITCH
Sickening Discovery of a Discolored Corpse of an Unknown and Unrecog- nizable Man in the Dutch Ditch Yesterday

The body of a man, swollen and blackered beyond recognition, was found yesterday in the Dutch ditch, about a mile and a half east of the city. Coroner Johnstone was sum moned and with a jury he visited the place but the body was in such frightful condition that it could not be approached closely. It was certain though that it was the body Of a white man of medium height On the left shoulder, from which the clothing had been removed, there was a tattoo mark, probably diamond shaped. It could not all be seen.
 The undertaking establishment having the county contract was in formed and the body was removed and buried last night. The place where the body was found was op- pOsite the McNulty ranch and along side the Arizona Eastern tracks.
 Whether the man had fallen or thrown himself into the ditch at that point is a matter of conjecture, but he could not have floated far for ! the ditch is a short one. There has been a good deal of water in it of late, though yesterday 1t had gone down to a depth of a half dozen inches disclosing the gruesome thing i it contained. But the horrible stench would have apprised the surrounding neighborhood of it's presence.

Since then every mail has contained marked copies of the periodicals that have used the story.
 Yesterday came a copy of the Fin nacial American, a paper of special features relating to development of every kind. The notice about power, markets and water was used in con- spicuOus place in the journal itself, but what was even better, was its in clusion among the little slip bulletins printed by the same company that puts out the American" and distributed every half hour among the great brok- craze offices of Wall Street and wired by means of the broad tape ticker to all the exchanges in America.

FATE HAS II
 IN F0R HUNT
Governor Likes to Walk and Generally Has to Whenever He Takes an Overland Journey; Some times He Wades Also

Governor Hunt, who set out on a fine automobile trip to the Grand Canyon few days ago, retuned home yesterday morning by train from Flagstaff. for the governor got his" as usual when he takes an over- land jaunt He got it, though while the getting" was good, on the Way up and the railroad ride from Flag staff was a part of the original plan. He did not want to be too long away from the capitol.
 The trip was undertaken for he purpose of road inspection and the party got what is was looking for. Beside the governor there was Sec retary Osburn of the board of con trol and State Engineer Cobb, and they saw more kinds of roads in Q given length of time than most men are ever privileged to see. Between the canyon and Flagstaff they broke a spring of the automobile and had tc creep into the northern city, but the damage can be easily repaired, after which the two men will work their way home again overland.
 The governors fun occurred be tween Prescott and Ash Fork. The party left here one afternoon and only made Hot Springs Junction that night. By the next night the tray elers got almost to Williamson val lev. where they found a comfortable stopping place and went on into Prescott the third day, in the fore room. The bad condition of the roads between here and Prescott has been related before.
 They left Prescott the afternoon of the same day they arrived there and expected to get into Ash Fork that night. and they did so, beating mid night by half hour. About 8 o'clock in the afternoon they came to a stream nine miles this side of Ash Fork and undertook to cross it's swollen waters when the machine went dead and stayed that way. Osburn and Chauffeur Shay volun- teered to go to Ash Fork on foot. and send back a team to pull the machine out, but it was farther than any of them had supposed. After 1 they had been gone some time the | governor proposed to Cobb that they | also hike into town, thinking they might catch the Harvey house be- fore the hired girl had the supper dishes all washed and anyhow get a cold snack out of the pantry
 They had proceeded only a short l distance until they came. to another crossing of the same stream, very wide but not swift and assuming that the others had crossed it they decided not to be less brave There
