TOO FREE WITH OVERLOOKING
 KNIFE
(From Saturdays Daily.)

A colored gun-man named Leroy Dickensarge was before Judge Me Lane yesterday, for pulling a weap- on on a woman of bad repute in the Star saloon on Granite street, and found guilty. Sentence was suspended until today. and in the meantime the bail was fixed at S100 which was not furnished.
 The demonstration of Dickensarge was followed by a stampede, and had it not been for the timely in reference of outsiders, there was the possibility of serious trouble be- ing on the boards, as he was alleged to be under the influence of liquor Under a recent decision of the su- preme court of the state, the dis playing of a deadly weapon is as sociated with the actual use of such, in inficting injury, hence the pun ishment of Dickensarge is expected to be meted out accordingly.

Being Accompanied Over State by Malcolm
 Fraser
(rrom Sasuydav's Daiiy.)

B. H. Burnell, highway engineer of the bureau of public roads of the United States department of az riculture, has already begun his itin- erary through the state seeking to transmit to the people of Arizona expert information on road building, touching such subjects particularly as efficiency, economy of construc- tion and methods of producing mon ey to build state roads.
 The information contained in these lectures has been obtained at great cost by the government, both by resort to public and private in formation gleaned from all sections of the United States. Through them the people of Arizona will be en- abled to acquire valuable advice de rived from the experience of others in actual road construction.
 The secretary of the Arizona Good Roads association, Malcolm A. Fraser, will accompany the gov ernment engineer for the balance of the trip and will assist in the en- tertainment and instruction by show ing. stereopticon views of the road features in Arizona. The work be- gan on Tuesday at Holbrook, after which a trip was taken down through Apache county to Spring erville and St. Johns.

 Ryan has just returned from Al

 Tommy lost the decision but accord ing to the papers of that city he was entitled to a draw at the worst and the referee need not have strained his conscience any to have declared him the winner. Ryan
 foored his opponent in the ninth frame, 1t being, by the way, the only knockdown during the fight. Chavez, 1t seems made whirlwind finish and it was on that score the decision was given him. Ryan still considers he is the best man of the two and stands ready to prove it That Gay Old Sport" Jack Nc Mahn has received an offer from Manager Levy of the Albuquerque Athletic Club, to meet Ryan's late opponent, but the doctor has order ed the fireman" to give his iniur ed right a six weeks rest before he uses 1t again as a sleep-produc- CT
 It seems to be the opinion among the local sports that Willard has heretofore been playing possum", as 1t were, and that the "MarveP' can give some of the lightweight boys around here a run for the gate receipts. Be that as it may. the Kid" now has the opportunity to demonstrate what kind of fighting stuff he Is made of. No one ques- tions but that Ryan is a clever boy with his hands. He demonstrated that fact in his controversy not long ago with Professor McMahn and the further fact that he uses his head in his battles, and incidentally his feet, which is as it should be with a man in the fight game. Mir. Willard had a padded glove argument with at Jerome not long since. which was declared a draw. That in itself entities him to meet Ryan, whom it will be remembered fought | draw with the fireman here.

NEW ROAD PLANNED TO
 TAP RICH TERRITORY
(Ftom Wednesdays Daily.)

Reliable reports are in circulation
 to the effect that Senator W. A
 Clark has finally decided to build a
 railroad from Clarkdale to Phoenix
 through some of the richest mining
 and agricultural country in the
 world.
 It has been known for several
 years that the United Verde people
 were contemplating such a road. af- ter the line from Cedar Glade to Clarkdale, in the Verde Valley. was completed. Now the Clarkdale road has been built and it is stated that one of the engineers is working with crew of surveyors somewhere in the Verde Valley
 Clarkdale is the new town in the Verde Valley where the new United Verde smelter is being built. The road to Clarkdale from the s. F. P. & P. is now in operation.
 From Clarkdale to Phoenix, by air line is o5 miles. The way the new road will go is a little more than 100 miles.
 Until surveys are made it is inn possible to say just where the road will run, but in all probability Cher ry Creek Camp will be on the right of way. That is one of the most important mining camps to be reach ed.
 The road is to run east of Hum boldt and Mayer, through a country dotted with developed and partially developed mining properties. Com ing south, it will pass east to Cave Creek and New River Dozens of mines north of Phoenix that are now handicapped by lack of trans portation facilities will enter the producing class.
 In the country to be crossed by the projected railroad are great quarries of black and white marble. To the east lie forests containing billions of feet of lumber. Cattle and sheep interests will be greatly benefited and markets will be op- ened for the products of some of the richest farming land on the face of the earth. Already the Verde Valley produces as good apples as are grown anywhere, and only traction of the available land is un- fer cultivation. Recently an irriga- , ion company filed on a number of , iamsites along the Verde, with the intention of irrigating vast areas of | he land that IS now unproductive. With the building of a railroad, many similar projects will be under aken. f

STATE ENGINEER
 INSPECTS OUR ROADS
(Fron Wednesdays DaiIy)

State Engineer Cobb, with Super
 visors Stephens and Heap and RoaC
 Superintendent Clark made an in
 spection of county roads north o
 this city on Saturday and Sunday
 being conducted by Arthur C. Hen
 dey in an Overland automobile.
 The journey was one of obser-
 vation by the state official, and was
 taken preparatory to deciding on a plan of future road building on the
 north and south system.
 Leaving Prescott at o:30 a. m.,
 Camp Verde was reached at 12:45 o'clock after a stop of fifteen min utes at Dewey. The new bridge over the Verde river was crossed, when the road that connects with the grade built by the former admins tration was inspected. From Camp Verde to that point the grade is very rough. The upper part of the new road that will be on the north and south highway is a fine piece of work, and where the grade is cut out of the side of a cliff is surfaced with volcanic cinders, and where worked down and worn is very perfect roadway. For some miles towards the top the road has be- come badly rutted by the narrow tired wagon wheels and the same rut being followed by all vehicles that pass over it.
 At some places on this grade it was necessary to draw the auto out of the ruts onto the loose cinder capping. On reaching the end of the grade at the rimrock a fine view of the valley below 2,0OO feet, was given. The party returned to Camp Verde reaching the place at 5:15 D. m.
 The journey was resumed that evening up the Verde Valley, Clark dale, Cottonwood and other points oeing reached after terrific blizzard was passed through. The return rip to Prescott was begun at loo o'clock next day, and the party ar lived in this city at 4:45 after a time of three hours and if cen minutes. No trouble of any ind whatever occurred during the ,ntire trip, and with the exception 'f the old road from Camp Verde O the new grade the roads are in better condition than they have ever ,een. f

TUCSON. It Was Cold

The cold wave struck Tucson in
 full force Monday night and carly
 Tuesday morning. The thermometer at the U. s. Magic Observatory re- corded a minimum of GA degrees. At the University of Arizona AgricuI- tural Exeriment station, a minimum ot , degrees was attained.
 A thermometer owned by Lee Park Lin, Chinese interpreter for the United States Immigration ser vice. recorded half a degree below zero, while another private ther- mometer of expensive make and supposedly reliable, gave ? degrees above zero.
 Water pipes were frozen in many parts of the city, some of them re- maining frozen until nearly noon. Numbers of ornamental trees were killed. A palm on North Stone ave nue, upon which a spray of water had been allowed to play, was pro- tusely decorated with long icicles.
 Wilcox and Bowie are reported to have had zero temperatures while incoming passengers from the east reported a foot of snow at Lordsburg.
 Check Baggage From Homes.
 By an agreement made by the Southern Pacific and a local transfer company baggage may now be checked from any residence in Tue son to any place on the Pacific coast and to any residence or address in any town in California where the company has a similar agreement with transfer companies.
 The transfer companies give bond to the railroad company for the safe at stations of all baggage entrusted to their care. Under the new arrangement person going to california may check his baggage at lls home and to any address in Cali ornia without the bother of having checked at stations and never ees 1t again until he opens it for a 'oiled shirt when he reaches his estimation. The arrangement ap- lies only to points in California.

WAS WISHED FOR

Professor Whitney Says He Found
1867 Grains of White Arsenic In
Organs of Dead Man-Defendant
Was Constant Attendant of Sick Man
Up to Time of His Death

Mrs. Eaton told me several times
that she wished the admiral was
dead"
This sensational statement from the
lips of Henry Gates came near the
close Of a session Of the Eaton murder
trial at Plymouth, Mass. 1t was the
first evidence offered by the govern
ment to show that the woman, &C
cused of the murder of the late ad
miral, Joseph G.. Eaton, desired his
death.
The audience which crowded the
Plymouth county courtroom was no.
ticeably impressed. Mrs. Eaton was
markedly affected, and for the first
time since the opening of the trial a
look of detection came over her face.
Gates further said that Mrs. Eaton's
statements to him concerning the ad-
miral so aroused his fear for the la
naval officer that on his visit to the
Eaton home he carried a pistol for
the purpose of protecting himself
against an attack or attempt to poison
him.
Those bound by the closest blood
ties of love to the accused woman,
her crippled daughter, Dorothy, and
her aged, invalid mother, Mrs. Viz
ginia Harrison, as witnesses for the
government, have declared that Mrs.
Eaton cooked the supper that Thurs
day night and alone attended the ad-
miral from the time of his Illness,
shortly after the meal. until his death.
1t is during that period, between the
supper Thursday night and the hour
of death early Saturday morning, that
the prosecution contends the arsenic
was administered by Mrs. Eaton.
Professor Whitney testified that in
all 16. 81 grains of the poison were
as much, if not more than that
amount, probably was thrown off by
his vomiting.
DR.. Balch corroborated the testi-
mony of his colleague. and both toxi-
cologists were especially emphatic in
telling the jury that more than one
dose, in their opinion, was given
perhaps, more than two-and that the
last one was shortly before death.
Mrs. Eaton seemed scarcely able to
retain her seat as this testimony was
elected. she was more nervous than
at any time since her life fight began,
and several times she wiped the tears
from her eyes.
w. S. Shurtleff, a fish and oyster
dealer of Weymouth, told OF calling on
the admiral Thursday afternoon about
2 o'clock and remaining with him half
an hour. He said the admiral was in
