E. w. Monroe and associates ot the Verde Ditch Company were awarded verdict against Geo. w. Hance in the sum of $240 last night.
 The plaintiff sued defendant for that sum on the grounds of main tenance and other expenses. Two days were occupied in the trial, which will entail an expense it IS said running to over S1,0O0 for the collection of less than quarter of that amount. From start to tln- ish the case was a fusillade from the legal battery employed, compris- ing six attorneys from the stand point of Blackstonian machine gun effort Legal logic raking down the line from the primary law school to the "extreme of legal absurdities, ' as one attorney tritely remarked, flew thick and fast, and the sparring proved decidedly refreshing to the many spectators present.

 PHOENIX, Feb. 21.-Governor Hunt threw down the gauntlet to prison reform critics in a letter to legislature today in which he declar- ed: There shall be no more silent submission on my part or that or the prison management to the malig- nant utterances of either wilful or ignorant falsihers." He demanded a full non-partisan investigation.
 The charges will be heard Monday before a special Senate committee of five and House state institutions committee which is avowedly un- friendly to the governor.
 The Governors special message was as follows:
