BAD INDIAN AND BAD
 WHISKY END SERIOUSLY
Jose Juan Louis, Pima Indian, Vents Spleen on Wife With Club
 and Axe.

combination of old Taylor and Green River affected Jose Juan Louis, an Indian residing on the Pima re- servation to such an extent that he proceeded to give his wife a beating with club. Finding that the club did not do the job quite as scientifi- cally as he wished he decided to practice surgery without a license by attempting to decapitate her with an axe. Agent Coe, who tries to instill the rudiments of civilization into the minds of the residents of the Pima reservation, was called and was sue cessful in proving to Jose that such proceedings were contrary to polite society. The Indian was arrested last evening by Sheriff Jeff Adams and Constable Murphy by order of Agent Coe, who stated to the off cers that this was not the first time that the Indian had acted in this manner When questioned as to where he had procured the liquor the Indian stated that an unknown Mex ican had given it to him in exchange for certain unstated sums and that it was not the first time that he had procured Red Eye from this source.
 The Indian was brought to town and introduced O certain boarders, re- gular and temporary of the Chateau d d'Maricopa and on the earnest solici- tatlon of the management decided to occupy a suite of rooms recently va cated by members of United States Marshal Bush Anderson's personally conducted party who interviewed Judge Morrow in the Federal court during the last few days with good results for themselves

IMPORTANT HEARING
 IN SUPREME COURT
Famous GIeeson Costello Mining Con-
 troversy from Cochise Is Up.

An important hearing was in pro- gress in the supreme court all day yesterday. in the case of John Glee- son vs. Mary w Costello executrix of the estate of Martin Costello de- ceased. This suit involves mining property in Cochise county that is of almost fabulous value There is quite an array of counsel lined up in the case. E. $. Ives of Tucson was arguing the greater part of yester- day in behalf of Gleeson. Today Joseph B. Scott of Los Angeles will present the case for the CosteIIos Judge John Mason Ross and Ben Goodrich were also of counsel for the Costellos.
 This case originated in Cochise county were Gleeson brought suit to quiet his title to the mines in ques- tion, the Costellos holding adversely to him. The district court decided in favor of the Costellos whereupon Gleeson appealed. Judge Cunning ham being disqualified in the case, Judge McAllister of Graham county was called to sit for him in the ap- peal.
 great deal of interest is manifest ed in the argument that will be pre- sented by MT. Scott today. Joseph Scott is noted in the west as one of the ablest lawyers, and orators of this section. He was of counsel in the McNamara case and different from many of the attorneys for the defense in that case, came out with a bigger reputation than when he went into it. He has been prominent in Los Angeles for years, and has been president of the chamber of com merce, and chairman of the board of education. Some time back be- cause of growing practice in Arizona he was admitted to practice before 1 the courts of the state

ADJUSTMENTS
Empress


 Easily the leading feature of the bill this week at the Empress is the act of the four BaZarowS, Russian dancers. This act differs from the Russian dance acts that have become familiar to the public through the medium of magazines and theatrical publications. The dances are folk dances entirely and demand a great degree of agility and supleness on the part of the performers. The act is beautiful from many standpoints and evoked a great deal of enthusi- asm from the large audiences last night.
 Eleanor Ellsworth gives a number of pleasing child Representations, and Billy Moran is also on the bill as a character singer.

Both majority and minority reports as

a sound waterpower policy-prompt de-

monopoly and good service and fair
charges to the consumer. Both said that
the regulation of service and charge Is

that it should be exercised by the nation
