The Arch.

The consensus Of opinion among the
learned is to the effect that the arch
was invented by the Romans. Some
claim that Archimedes of Sicily was
the inventor, while there are Others
who would make it to be of Etruriar
origin, but there can be no doubt about
the fact that the Romans were the first
to apply the principle to architecture.
The earliest Instance Of its use is in the
case of the Cloaca Maxima, or greatest
sewer. Of Rome. built about 5SS b. @.

torians as being one Of the most stu

Tickets stationed at or near the mines and plants of the companies have assisted the deputies .n maintaining peace and pre- venting disorder. The strikers were enthusiastic over their position at the meeting today and ex- pressions of confidence Of victory were heard op every hand. The companies are as equally determined and are holding firmly to their policy to accord no recognition to the Western Fedora ton of Miners

The famous suit. of Cunningham ys Costello. involving valuable minio g property in the Warren mining dis. trict was b:ough, to q close his morn, ng when the jury returned it's findings n favor of the plaintiff
 The case has been on in thr court four weeks. during which time. attor.
 eys for both sides fought hard loI hrir clients. introducing evidence and ringing ont facts to establish tieiI
 articular sides of he casr.
 The issue went to thc jury on tk, rierrogatories at 10 o'clock Saturda,
 ;ht, after tn. final argument

 Taking summary, of the whole tie findings of he jury were
 That Paddy Cunningham had par, Cos ello Sl GOO for a half interest ir the Irish Mag group. and Costello he'd later paid his share oi S2 GOO for Ii. archa~e of ;hc group and that Pad Cunningham was co-owuer with Cos tell, in the Bellflower. Smoglcr. and Hattie Manchcstrr.

 IL was stated by attorneys for the Costello estate today that appeal 10 the higher courts would immediatcl, be given
 The case was one of the longest ever tried in the counts oi Cochise couu ' and attracted no little interest about the state. as Cunningham and Costello n their lifetime were old timers of c. rH!Se county.
 The Old Camp has been a scene nf much interest for the pas: month, an many old timers were here both a- witnesses and to hear the proceeding O. the case.
 The appeal will mean another trial in the higher cour's
