esting and noteworthy event They
were united as man and wife in the

gagged in cattle raising in that fertile
section. Both have the sincere wishes
OF all for happy and prosperous

COMMITMENT Of
THOMAS WAS
ILLEGAL
Piano Player Secures
His Freedom Through
Habeas Corpus.
(From Saturdays Daily)

Attorney Hammond won his cele-
brated habeas corpus case yesterday
in the Superior Court, and his client,
Fred Thomas, walked out of the
room breathing the air of freedom
once more.
This proceeding had its inception
in the City Police Court, when
Thomas was sentenced to serve fifty
days straight for assault on woman
in the .redlight district, where he
was employed as a piano player.
The acting city recorder imposed
the penalty in the usual manner,
and on the grounds of technicality
prevailing in the record OF the case.
habeas corpus was resorted to, and
successfully so at the finish.
In handing down his decision re-
leasing Thomas from custody, Judge
Smith stated that the chief of police
of Prescott, who was holding the
defendant in custody, was holding
him without any authority of law,
the statute requiring that the chief
should have a certified copy of a
Judgment OF conviction and thar no
Judgment had ever been entered in
the lower court. In other words,
whenever a person is found guilty
by the city recorder the chief of
police must be furnished with a
certified copy of the judgment as
commitment to prison, and which
was not done in this particular case.
In closing this case the court also
expressed deep regret that he was
compelled under the law to release
the prisoner.

VAST AMOUNT OF ROAD
WORK IS BEING DONE
CFrom Wednesdays Dany)

County Road Superintendent d.
NJ. Clark gave an interesting review
yesterday of road building and re-
pairing throughout the county,
which covers practically every ave-
nue. of travel or in need of atten-
ton. He states that new high
line roadway is being built from
Clarksdale to Camp Verde, which
follows the west side of the Verde
valley, and which will afford a bet
ter route than that in existence, as
we'll will it be more direct than the
one now in use
The old road from Ash Creek via
Copper canyon to Camp Verde is
also to be repaired and placed in
better condition than ever before
known, a crew now being engaged
in the work To prepare for the
coming travel to Prescott from the
northern counties, a force of men
will be taken today 20 fix the road
at several places between this city
and Ash Fork
Good progress is being made in
building the new north and south
highway from Kirkland valley south
to Congress Junction, Wit Thomp-
son valley. Hillside and Cottonwood
on Date creek, and by July the
grade will be passable to all classes
of vehicles. A one-mile rough stretch
remains, but with the summer rains
coming, a veritable boulevard will
be created by the packing of the
loose soil.
II will be learned with satisfaction
by mining men to the south of Pres
colt. and by those who frequent the
state highway. that the county will
take charge of that line in the future
and protect its fine road bed. The
rocks are to be removed and the
line drained SO that the anticipated
storms of the near future will not
seriously affect it. About thirty
additional culverts are also to be

HOT FIGHT OVER
SMOKING ON STREET CARS

NEW YORK, June 26.-Whether
or not mere men shall be deprived
OF his precious privilege of smoking
on the four rear seats of open
street cars is the question around
which a merry war is being waged.
The anti smokers, led by a DR..
Pease, whose antipathy TO the weed
is so keen that he is reported to
have left banquet because 4 girl
Iecited a poem by James Whi:comb
Riley in which mention is made of
smoke wreaths, demand that all
smoking in or about any railroad,
street car line, or ferry house under
the jurisdiction of the Public Service
Commission be prohibited by law.
At the first hearing held before
the Commissioner most of DR..
Pease's supporters were women, but
the opposition came entirely from
the sex which is permitted TO smoke
in public. They used no arguments
10 back them up in their opposition
but ridicule, and one of them had
the hardihood to try to change the
tenor of the proceedings by asking
that the order be amended so as to
require the railroad companies 20
provide more smoking accommoda-
tons than they do.
Humor was added to the situa-
ton by one man who waved a bunch
OF coupons. such as are given away
with cigarettes and cigars and pro-
tested that he was not allowed to
smoke at home or in his office
and that the open cars were the
only available place left, since he
never walked. 81 represent the great
coupon collectors of New York" he
said. MY dearest wish is TO own
a yacht. For years l have been
saving coupons to get one. But if

you now prevent me smoking on the
street cars. how can l ever get that

ably be held before the matter is
ended.

ZONIA TO FRONT

(From Wednesdays Daily

Zonia, as a coming copper pro
ducing center, is attracting very
much attention at the present time,
was the statement made Monday
by L. ]. Haselfeld, the merchant OF
Kirkland. The Mcmahon group has
entered the shipping class again, and
several carloads are TO go to the
Douglas smelters, the first freight
teams loading al the railroad
station.
The Meyers mines are also pre-
pairing to ship to the same market,

depth also. Another shipper of the
near future will be the F. ]. Stein
Rough Rider mine. A new hoist
is being installed to expedite deep
shaft sinking, and with the tonnage
exposed the grade of the yield is
attracting very much interest.

CATTLE MARKET
HAD TENDENCY
TO DECLINE
Break in Prices How
ever Did Not Amount
To Much.

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS,
June 23.-Dry weather talk was gen
eral last week, and resulted in a
break of IS to so cents on stock
cattle and feeders. The withdrawal
of country buyers gave killers a
chance to insist on concessions, and
thus a part of the bloom recently
acquired by killing cattle was dis
sipated. 1t was done without the
actual appearance of any dry weather
cattle worthy Of mention Scattered
rains have fallen in the last few
days, and there is less drouth talk
today.
The run of 1900 cattle here today
contains few that have been forced
in prematurely, on account Of the
dry weather The market ruled
steady to 10 lower on killing cattle
today, and fully steady on stock
grades, at the recent decline Heavy
steers sold best today, contrary to
custom, natives reaching sos and
$875. not quite the full limit of the
market, and mixed yearlings up to

T85 and upwards, fed westerns,
$50 to $3.50; quarantine fed steers,
S3s to $500; grass steers, $500 to

Hogs sold strong to 5 higher to-
day, receipts 600. All kinds sell

Reports indicate good many hogs
in the country, and dealers regard
the present prices as not to be
counted on as a permanent institu-
ton.
Sheep went to pieces last week,
due to unexpected heavy supplies of
natives. Receipts today, 800; market
stronger, with some Spring lambs
at $50; Arizona lambs, 800; Texas

MAY PUT LIMIT
ON HEIGHT OF
BUILDINGS

NEW YORK, June N.-That New
York's skyscrapers may have reach
ed their limit in spite of the fact
that ali sorts OF wild gueses are
made as to their height twenty years
from now, is indicated by the or
gained move being made by mer-
chants whose places of business
front on Fifth avenue.
Practically all of the large cities
of the world have already taken
steps to restrict the height of build
ings. New York is the last, almost,
to make regulations to this end.
Much data on the subject has been
gathered by the Fifth Avenue Asso-
citation, which will be placed before
the newly created commission to
inquire into the practicability of
limiting the height of buildings in
this city. Their report is to be
made within six months. The Fifth
Avenue Association has advocated
openly the limiting of buildings on
that thoroughfare to not more than
Us feet. The question which it
raises now is whether a law making
restrictions to cover Fifth avenue
alone will be constitutional. The
opinion seems to be that a general
law covering the whole city will
have to be framed. Many foreign
cities limit the height of buildings
considerably less than 100 feet, as
compared to New York's 800 foot
and 700 foot monsters.
The highest appellate court OF
Massachusetts, the Court of Appeals
of Maryland and the United States
Supreme Court have all held that
laws limiting the height of build
ings are directly based upon a proper
exercise of the so-called police power
OF the State. OF course it should
be understood that in any given
case the limitation OF height must
be a reasonable one or the law
would certainly not be upheld. But
from present appearances the hun
dred story building so freely pre-
dicted only a short time ago may
never arrive in New York, and the
present skyscrapers tower in lonely
grandeur over restricted buildings
of the future.

On the night of the 5th of July
the question whether a man can

Jack McMahn, who was worsted in
his bout with frankie Gage at Phoe-
nix about a month ago, will try fistic
conclusions with Kid Denister OF

The settlement of the above Ques-

the Prescott Athletic Club on West

has been lost and won and where
some good scraps have been wit
messed in the last two years, and
some seen that were not so good,
while others were nothing more or
less than putrid. However. those
who know the redoubtable Fighting
Fireman"-and who does not
realize that on this as on every
other occasion when he donned the
mitts. he will give the best in him
and that assurance means that the
fans will surely get a run for their
money.
Denister is a likely looking lad
whose fighting weight is 1873 pounds
and in this respect he has the call
over McMahn. who is a l22-pounder
The Mile Higher on the other hand
