NEW SYSTEM FOR
SETTLEMENT OF CASE
(From Saturdays Daily)


1t is no longer absolutely neces-
sary for judge to sit on the bench
in order to decide a case, if the
unique precedent established by
Judge Frank o. Smith yesterday is
accepted as a logical course to pur-
sue Gin "a pinch" Judge Smith re-
cruited into service the telephone
system and in the colloquy which
followed the local jurist was just as
dignifed and impressive in his de-
cisions as though he were sitting
on that Pinal County Superior Court
bench, navigating the ship Of law
through the stormy channels.
Some time ago Judge Smith sat
on the Pinal County bench in the
place of Judge O'Connor who was
disqualified in acting in an import
ant suit wherein the municipalities
of Casa Grande and Florence were
fighting over certain water rights.
Judge Smith made al order instruc-
ting the two towns to divide the
water equally.
Yesterday morning the telephone
bell rang, and "long distance" an
nounced that Judge O'Connor OF
Pinal County wanted to talk with
Judge Smith. Judge O'Connor ex-
planned the situation in a nutshell;
the Florence people were not abid-
ing by the agreement. Judge Smith
promised to get down to Florence
OH Tuesday morning OF next week.
Over the phone. Judge Smith
could hear Judge O'Connor convey
this information to the delegations
from both Florence and Casa Gran
de who had gathered in his Office.
Tuesday will be too late" an
nounced Judge O'Connor after a
brief conversation, 'they say that
the water will all be gone by that
time"
well then tell them that I'll jump
on the train tonight and be in
Florence tomorrow morning to set
tie up the thing" impatiently re
sponded Judge Smith.
Again in distinct voice, the local
judge heard the delegations and in
terpreter confer and then he heard
d;,,i,, tho yO;ca ~ Ora 81 tba ,,,a,,
declare, "Oh, we'll give you the old
water and be done with it."
Thus the ready decision by Judge
Smith to get t. the scene of trou-
BILE at the earliest possible moment
served in the framing of satisfac-
tory agreement, the Florence peo-
pie throwing up the sponge when
they heard the verdict.

CHARITABLE CITIZENS
INSURE DECENT BURIAL
LITTLE WHALEY GIRL
DIES FROM WOUND IN
FLICTED IN PLAY BY
TWIN BROTHER
(From Wednesdays Daily

Shot accidentally by her six-year
old twin brother, little Sarah VIVA
ley, early yesterday morning died
in the county hospital as a result
of the bullet wound inflicted in her
stomach and intestines. The child
passed away about twelve hours af-
ter her grief stricken little brother
had innocently struck the trigger OF
rusty twenty-five calibre rifle
with a hammer, sending the bullet
into his little sister.
The awful tragedy has cast a pail
of gloom over Humboldt and vici-
nifty. The parents of the little girl,
destitute and grief stricken beyond
control were both yesterday in the
city to take charge of the remains.
The father who had secured en-
ployment after months of fruitless
search was notified of the accident
at Clarkdale and joined the bereav-
ed mother here yesterday afternoon.
The scene depicted at the greeting
was beyond description.
The youngster had unearthed the
old gun and secured a cartridge
which he had possessed for some
time past. After placing the cart
ridge in the barrel, the trigger re-
fused to bulge. Then the young
ster innocently tried using steel per-
suasion. His little sister was gaz-
ing on.
The Mortified mother finally man
aged to get word over the four
miles distance between her home
and Humboldt, a doctor was pro-
cured and the county hospital in
this city headed for. An opera
ton was performed but no hope
was held forth from the start.

NEW ROADWAY TO
VERDE VALLEY OPENED
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily)
Another landmark in the old
Cherry Creek hill, has vanished into
memory, the formal opening of the
six-mile cutoff taking place last
Monday.
The finishing touches were given
in the cement work being COM
pleted, and string of half dozen
autos clipped along the grade from
one end to the other from Jerome,
the Verde valley and other places
with ease, comfort and security.
This strip is a unit of the pro-
jected north and south line from
Phoenix via Prescott to Flagstaff,
and although it traverses county
highways, the credit belongs to the
State for closing the gap on the
route of the future "as the bird
would fly"
Residents of valley side of the
Verde range are appreciative of the
splendid work done by Contractor
Snider and the opportunity that is
now open for getting in and out of
the country with facility and econ
omy. The new grade is below six
per cent, as against twenty-five per
cent on the old route. The scenic
attractions are bewildering and will
bring many tourists of the future
to peep over the crest into the big
granary of the north.
Arthur Hendey, considered an au-
thority in wagon road building, yes
terday stated this strip of highway
is without counterpart in the
county, if not in the State. Prob
ably he has made more trips into
and out of Verde valley than any
man in the country, and in express
ing his admiration of the roadway
he says it is one of the solid struc-
lures of the county, and a CONNER
cial factor of the future that will
rebound to the benefit of Prescott
in encouraging trade and travel.
