FLIMPSY CASES MUST
 STOP, SAYS JUDGE
(From Saturdays paiIy.l

AIlOil OaNdA AdJ AotAJsJ
 On and after the first day of Jan uary Judge Charles H. McLane IS going to place in vogue new rule in his office, and one which is sure to prove beneficial in more ways than one. Under the law he is privileged when a person wishes to file crim- inal complaint with him direct in volving a charge which is likely to result in a trial in the superior court after he is through with 1t, to in vestigate the grounds upon which such complaint is based, and advise the complaining party, or parties, as to whether they have probable grounds upon which to base an ac- tion. For the purpose of making this rule effective he can call for and secure witnesses other than the complaining parties. This rule only applies to cases which are proposed before his court. In all cases where the county attorney files an informa- ton he has no authority to invoke such a procedure. It is rule which is designed to prevent the filing of so many complaints which have no basis upon which to warrant the ac- cused being bound over in a prelimi- nary trial, and to thus save expense and trouble.
 Discharges Boys.
 On information of a colored man named A. l.. Lowe. Joe. Engle was tried yesterday and released. The complaint alleged that he had kicked the young son of the complaining witness on last Halloween night. The case was started soon after the al legged misdemeanor was said to have taken place, but Mir. Engle was not in town for trial until yesterday. It was shown that the boys were throw ing stones at the house of Mir. Engle. The colored boy who was alleged to have been kicked testified that he was told by other boys that Engle lad kicked him. His evidence was not positive and all that could be done in the case was to dismiss 1t.
 Another boy case was of similar import, so far as the evidence was concerned. It was that of Theodore Bellus. under age, accused by J. R. Coats of having used vile and pro fane language. Mir. and Mrs. Coats testified that thev had offered not to prosecute the boy if he would pay l board bill amounting to SS.25 which hey alleged he owed them. They al 10 testified to the use of profane language by the Bellus boy, but the evidence was not sufficient in the mind of the judge to send the boy to he juvenile court for further hear ng and he was discharged.

TO RENEW FIGHT ON
 LEGISLATIVE AGENT

PHOENIX, Dec. l5.-The fight which has heretofore been waged on Frank Brown, opposing his occupy ing the position of legislative agent of the Arizona State Federation Oi Labor will be renewed according to a letter received here today from Mi ami. A recall against Brown was initiated and a vote or the members of the federation taken which al though not officially certified indi- cated that Brown had not been re- called. It is now proposed by those of the unions of the state which are opposed to Brown to withhold their assessment money which had been or dered paid for his financial suppor; during the session of the legislature.
 At the time the state labor con- vention was held there were 3,p2' members of the federation in good standing By reason of Arizona hay
 ing voted prohibition, charters of va rious locals will be surrendered which will reduce the membership to less than 1000. The assessment was Z; cents per capita on the membership
 About 40 per cent of the 2,00O mem bcrs will refuse to pay their assess ment for a legislative agent consc- quently present indications are tha, labor will be without a representa-
 time when Arizona's solons convene

WOMAN CHARGES HUS-
 BAND WITH LARCENY
(From Fridays Daily.)


 A warrant is out for the arrest of Joe Bassett, who is charged with having stolen and killed cattle be- longing to King Brothers and the Arizona Land and Cattle Company, the complaint having been sworn to before Judge McLane by no less a parsonage than his wife, to whom he was wed about one month ago.
 Mrs. Bassett came to town from Walnut Creek on December l4th and filed the complaint, stating that the officers could find the hides of the stolen cattle buried at their place. She said that Bassett had killed the cattle and threatened also to kill her if she divulged the fact, and that she was afraid of her life and concluded to leave him and turn him over to the authorities, further stating that he had left home driving a wagon to- ward the Ash Fork country.
 Find Hides.
 As soon as the complaint was filed Ed. Stephens, cattle inspector, accom- panied by an officer from the sheriff office, went to the place designated and found at least one cattle hide bu- ried at the spot the wife had desig mated. This seems to be the hide Of an animal belonging to the Arizona Land and Cattle Company. Accord ing to the story said to have been told by Mrs. Bassett, the defendant has been engaged in this kind of business to a wholesale extent.
 Bassett has not yet been appre- hended, although deputy sheriffs arc on his track and hope to land him soon
