THE FEAST WAS ENJOYED,
EVEN At The Price
Bon Vivants Are RECALLED With Cue
and Beer.

An interesting story is being told
about town this morning at the ex-
pense of thirty bon-vivants and a
popular alderman-elect, who last
night, by special invitation, attended
a sumptuous barbecue feast with the
attendant cold beer trimmings. The
feast was great, and good cheer reign
ed supreme among the thirty specially
invited guests. When the festivities
were about concluded the debonaire
young alderman was about to arise
and express thanks for self and friends
for the splendid collation. when, some
what to their slight surprise, each
banqueter was presented a bill for
$1.35, as a personal assessment for
the refreshments. 1t seemed a long
ways back to town, although the feast
had been fine and the beer at the
Arctic temperature.

Gaddis was voted for on both tickets and his cleo tiOn was assured from the first. The board. as the returns show it to be constituted, will be as follows: O. D. M. Gaddls, five years: Tom Devine, four years: s. s. Jones, three years; Dr.. A. l.. Hilton, two years: J. c. Wilson, one year.

Jury Term of Superior Court

Last Monday the April Jury Term of the Superior Court was convened. Judge Krook presiding. Several de- fendants had been held to answer, but owing to the fact that in. one or two cases the complaining witnesses had gone, hence no prosecution could be had. A jury was empaneled to try the cause of the State against Dickie and Foltz and verdict for defendants was directed by the court. On agreement of County Attorney | HernGon the charge against Dave O'Brien was dismissed, O'Brien turn ing states evidence against J. Lowney Following this action Lowney changed his plea of not guilty to that of burg lary and was later paroled by the court.
 Jack Moran was tired before a jury on charge of burglary and was found guilty. The court gave him until the llth of the month to bring in extenua. ting evidence on motion for parole It is said that this fellow is bad one. being of the petty larceny order and that it is not probable that he will be ble to convince the court that Da- role would make better man of him.
 Judge Perkins, of Coconino county, was called to try causes in which Judge Krook was disqualified, but owing to the fact that nearly all these cases had been reset for the 18th of this month only one case was heard and taken under advisement, that of the estate of J. A. Logan against Kean St. Charles.
 Judge Perkins departed to his home in Flagstaff last evening.
 Today Judge Krook will hear testi- mony in two insanity cases, that of Harry Nelson and man who vas brought In from the Sandy last Sun day. Nelson proposed t) a young lady in Kingman few days ago and be- cause she refused to marry him threatened to kill her. Ills actions were peculiar and the belief is that he is insane.

The Last Days of Pompeii

Has been hailed by critics as mas ter effort greater even than the won drous "Quo Vadis' Through the beautiful, idle. slumberous City of Pompeii, following closely the thread of a love tale idyllic, Lord Bulwer's mighty story sweeps on to scenes of almost preternatural power.
 The destruction of PoEpeii-the mad scurrying of the demented thou. sands amid hail of smoking cnders and blasts of hame-the falling of great pillars-the collapse of temples makes one feel that his ears ring with the shrleks of the terror-mad- dened multitudes of the stricken city. The Last Days of Pompeii was made at Turin and Pompeii, Italy. Nearly 5000 people were employed in the making-a tremendous throng Of daln- tlly garbed, picturesque Italians. Run in all the biggest houses in the U. $. Will probably be here for one night only between April l3 and 18th. Ad- mission soc.
 Bond buyers have made another proposition to the supervisors for the purchase of the bonds of the county and it is to be expected that the good road bonds will soon be sold and the work of road huiljinp On a larye scale brought under way. Mohave county, as we'll as all the other counties in the state, need good roads and we hope that this year will see the inaugura- tion of a system of roaIs that will con- duce to the material benefit of all sections.

F. $. Dickerson. of Seligmap. drove his machine to Kingman a few days ago and has been looking after busi- ness affairs in town. He and other citizens of Seligman feel that the beard of supervisors of Yavapai county has treated the north part of the coun- ty badly in the matter of road repair and the opening of a better road to connection with the east and west road through Mohave county. The road between Seligman and Ash Fork was built by the citizens of the two towns and it's upkeep is directly chargeable to them. Yavapai will find that when it comes to again dividing the county there will be little effort on the part of the people of the north portion to prevent the dismem berment.
