 ROPING IN VICTIMS
(From Sundays Daily)


 Prescott's popular organization of Moose launched its Frontier Days career last night under auspices that were interesting, humorous and de cidedly novel A grand parade treked through the streets of over 100 mem bers, and later went into secret ses- sion with the town invited. A Kan garoo Court was held, with Judge Soakem yielding the gavel, and from whose decisions there was no appeal, as his was the highest tribunal III this hemisphere Moose who had browsed out of the ranks and did not show up in the parade were roped into the legal arena, and accused ot crimes that were tempered with financial branding that made the bronchos as docile as kittens. The first victim was Governor Hunt, who failed to obey the law in not hiking with the brethren. He was given a dose of Moose justice and dug up SlOO of that gilt edge coin- He promised to walk along on future occasions.
 Justice of the Peace McLane of Prescott precinct, was querled over marrying two ladies in one day, and admitted his matrimonial trust com binc as existing. He attempted to enter a demurrer but Judge Soakem over-ru1ed 1t and he went down to the tune of $50, which sum he paid, under protest.
 Harry Henderson, from force of habit, entered the court room with spurs on his boots, and the jingle dis turbed the judicial equilibrium. Hen derson started to explain something about champion broncho busting, and when going ahead was interrupted with a $50 Moose plaster, which slowed him down, and he gave the silver spurs for security, and offered to put up the belt he won last year. Judge Soakem said he didn't want to be bothered with the belt as some body would get hold of it in few days.
 Reese NJ. Ling, the Phoenix attor- ney had some of his own legal logic jammed down his throat, when he was relieved of $50, on the proven charge of leaving a nice cool climate for something extremely at the other end of the temperature sphere. He careened little, but did not have the lucre Up went his watch and chain and Moose charm for stcurity until tomorrow morning"
 Thos. E. Campbell had it thrown into him hard, for $50. He was charged with breaking into the demo- cratic citadel of the State of Ari zona as a lone republican, and ac- quiesccd in busting the ship like submarine torpedo. Judge Soakcm said From, if you'll get away from that bunch the jail penalty will De remittcd; otherwise it's SEQ more" Campbell again went into his pocket for Moose lucrc.
