CHRISTMAS RUSH HEAVY AT POST
 OFFICE
DEUCE OF CHRISTMAS PARCELS H HANDLED WITHOUT DELAY AND IN FINE SHAPE
(From Tuesdays Daily)

NA 'N+-- eNe''tt@- -'N-+-
 With every clerk, carrier and the postmaster and even the Mrs. Post master, working like Trojans, the Christmas rush of parcels, money and regular mail at the Prescott postoffice is being handled in splen- did shape. Thus far not q single cog in the machinery has slipped and every indication would point to the storm being wcathered with out single mishap.
 Mindful of the important duties devolving upon the office. Postmas- ter Smith is not inclined to take any chances with outside help for the stamp and registry departments. For that reason Mrs. Smith, who is conversant with every nook and corner of the office. has been press ed into service. Mrs. Smith acts as assistant ill the mailing and stamping of parcels. It is her eff cient work in a great measure which has afforded Prcscottoniaus the op- portunity to do their Christmas stamp shopping" late and without any inconvenience.
 The parcel post delivery wagon was yesterday pressed into service and q special driver spent all day distributing the sacks of Christmas packages as soon as they arrived upon the trains and through the package receptaclcs in the local of flee. This service will probably be continued until the end of the week.
 Owing to the great distance which many of the gifts come. 1t is diff cult for the postmaster to figure the time of the crisis" Some times the deluge of Christmas par cels continues until New Years eve. But the flood-t tide will prob ably he reached by tomorrow morn | ing or the morn before Christmas" Christmas morn iS calculated as the . heaviest day upon the local mail . carriers and parcel post division.

PRESCOTT CLUB FIGHTS
 NEW AUTO LAW.
(From Sundays DaT'-.)


 Prescott's Auto Club Friday night went on record as being strongly opposed to the recently enacted au- to license legislation which goes in to effect on January l. Not only did large attendance of members verbally attack the constitutionality Of the act, but provision was made for conducting a legal battle in the Supreme Court in an effort to carry the organizations point.
 The local club takes its lead in this action from the attitude as sumed by the Southern California Auto Club and similar influential organizations throughout the Unit ed States where laws similar to the prospective one in this State. have been enacted. The fight to be waged by the California organiza- ton with its coco membership came in for a great deal of dis cussion. Considerable attention was also given the victories by auto clubs in two States where the law was repealed.
 The objectionable law goes into effect January l and stipulates that machines be taxed in proportion to their horsepower. Cars having 25 horsepower must pay $500 license

DR. WTNSHIP HAS
 PRAISE FOR YAVAPAI.

(From Sundays Daily)


 As was anticipated. Dr. A. E. Win ship, editor ofs the Journal of Edu- cation" q widely read publication in educational cirEles, put every ounce of his greatipdnA gifted ability into a contribution to the issue of De cember II. The author virtually ex- presses his thoughts in black and white just as he personally pro nounced his keen amazement over existing conditions when he talked face to face with the teachers of Yavapai county.
 Dr. Winship is regarded as one of the country's foremost educational authorities. His widely read and immensely popular periodical serves both as q medium for the expres- sion of wonderful thought and the naturalization of well-founded plans.
 The Yavapai County Teachers in stitute was decidedly fortunate in i irocuring his attendance here dur ing Fair week and the institute He delivered half-dozen lectures and was warmly received. From here he proceeded to Phoenix where he was the principal lecturer at the State institute.
 Here is what Dr. Winship has 10 say specifically regarding Prescott:
 "Arizona! Climate! We'll, I saw it at its best, and it was the best ever. It was the last week in Oc- tohrl at Prescott, and the first week m \ 9yember at Tempe, Phoenix and Cha Her. It may be warm in mid summer in the valleys, if so go to Prc-cott-the Mile High City which, according to Sir Gilbert Par ker Is the best summer inland eli mate in the world.
 Arizona. Educationally it is fascinating part of the world. Pres colt in Yavapai county, up in the mountains where evergreens play hide and seek with the rag gedest rocks on the continent, has culture and beauty. good churches lnG honest banking. all of which . make good conservative schools nat Iral. almost inevitable Scholarship . is at a premium and good be- lavior required in school and out.
 W. Curtis Miller, the county su- 'erintendent, was for several years ! professor in the Fairmont, w. Va, State Normal school. and has kept lis ideals, personal and profession Il, in his new life"
 Dr. Winship calls attention to the act that ninety-fve per cent of \rizona's thousand or more teach ITS are graduates of normal schools 'r colleges, a record in educational ;rcles no matter what section of he country.

GORDON IS GIVEN YER
 DICT FOR S1.00 DAMAGES.
(From Sundays Daily)

(From Sundays Dally)
 The jury trying the suit brought by NJ. NJ. Gordon against George B. Fruit for S25,0OO damages as the result of an alleged assault, last night in the Superior Court, turned in verdict favoring the plaintiff and setting the amount of damages at $l.OO. The jury's verdict followed an interesting session :n court during which all kinds and flavors of testimony were produced. The case went to the jury at 3:5O o'clock and the verdict was ren- dered at 7:45 o'clock.
 Not satisfied with the verdict, the defense, represented by Attorney LeRoy Anderson, filed notice that he would appeal for new trial The verdict of S1 carries with t the provision that the defense pay all expenses, which will amount to approximately Sl00
 The marked difference between the amount of damages asked and the figure awarded is conceded a victory for the defense, but Mir. Fruit desires to clear himself en- tirely of the stigma of any award, he declares.
 The incident which brought on the suit occurred at Jerome, where Gordon is an attorney and Fruit was formerly deputy sheriff Pruitt arrested Gordon, alleging drunken ness. In his complaint, Gordon charged that Pruitt had maliciously struck him, dragged him through the streets of Jerome and other wise ignominiously mistreated him The witnesses for both sides told conflicting tales of the episode and 1t remained for the jury to ulti- mately decide the matter from be- ginning to end.
 The trial started on Friday with Judge Krook occupying the bench. Friday was practically spent in se- lecting the jury and in argument upon law questions. Representing the National Surety Company, which had gone upon Fruits bond for S2,OO0 when he took office, Attorney Seabury of the Phoenix firm of Sloan, Seabury & Westervelt, argued for ruling to instruct the jury to exonerate the surety company.
 The fourteen witnesses examined are among the leading business and professional men of Jerome, among them being Walter Miller, general manager of the T. F. Miller Com pany of Jerome and Clarkdale: Dr. B. T. Stauber, minister of the Meth odist church of Jerome; Walter Myers, head of the Myers Drug Company; Ray Miller, chief time keeper of the United Verde Cop per Company; Professor R. c. Ste phens, superintendent of the Jerome schools, and s. F. Dennison, justice of the peace and police judge. Among those subpoeaned and who were not called upon to testify were Charles E. Hughes of the Jerome and Clarkdale Auto Company. and James Prosser, who has been con tractor and builder of the copper city nearly quarter of century.
 Judge Crook held court during the noon hour so that the examination of witnesses would be finished in time to allow the witnesses to re turn home on the early afternoon train.
 A general murmur of dissatisfac- ton was heard among the witnesses who deplored being compelled to leaev their business to testify in the case. More than one witness requested that his expense be paid before being sworn in by the clerk. The witnesses expenses were promptly secured by the parties in interest
