MARlcoPA COUNTY SECOND
SUPERIOR COURT TO REMAIN

PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. 30.-The su-
an attorney Of this city, permission
to file an application for a writ of
mandamus against the attorney gen.
eral compelling him to bring quo
warranto proceedings to oust Frank
M. Lyman from the position of su-
perior judge of Maricopa county, and
the case is thrown out of court. Ly-
man was appointed additional judge
for this county under the provisions
of special law passed by the last
legislature. The appointment was
made by Acting Governor Sidney p
Osborn in the absence of Governor
Hunt. then away at the launching of
the Battleship Arizona. Fleming rep
resented, it is understood, that ele-
ment who opposed the right of Lyman
to sit as judge 1t was claimed
against him that the law passed was
unconstitutional because it was not
specifically mentioned in the govern
ors call for that extra session
Others claimed that the legislature
had Nhe right to apply the method of
relier for the superior courts of the
state when the governor in his mes
sage did ask for relief. However,
Lyman took his seat and held court
=
with his application. The act of the
supreme court virtually amounts to a
refusal to take jurisdiction in the
case. Although it has been generally
recognized that Hunt would not have
appointed Lyman, who was district
attorney, he has made no mention or
objection to the action of Osborn in
appointing Judge Lyman.

CAMERON WINS POINT IN
GRAND CANYON LITIGATION

TUCSON, Ariz., Sept. 27.-The ap-
plication of the United States govern
ment for a temporary injunction to
prevent Ralph Cameron and others
carrying on livery business at the
Bright Angel Trail at the Grand
Canyon from interfering with other
parties, was denied by Judge Sawtelle
of the United States Federal court.
The injunction was sought against
Ralph Cameron, his two brothers, S.
D. Cameron, L. L. Farrell. 1t is al
legged that Cameron holds land at the
Bright Angel Trail of the Grand Can
yon enabling him to have a monopoly
on the livery business, which is very
profitable at this point, as the Bright
Angel Trail is the only route to the
at the terminus. of the Santa Fe
branch line.
The defense of Cameron was that
he took up the land in question be-
cause it is mineral land. He denies
that he interferes with other people
in the livery business The land was
taken up by Cameron as mineral land
prior to it's withdrawal from settle
ment but the government denies that
it contains mineral.
The case for the government was
argued by United States Attorney
Flynn and his assistant, Gerald Jones
and NJ M. CLANCY, an attorney Of
the United States forestry service
E. Morrison of Phoenix and r. E
Morrison of Prescott represented the
Camerons.

1t is the first time in the history of
America that a mining boom was

increase of 500 in the last four
months. The influx into the camp is
steady.
With the payroll at this time aver
aging close to $150,OOO a month, the
men employed in different capacities
are saving their coin. A large num-
Der are investing in the different COM
panies, buying stock which appeals to
the mas winners, others are sending
their pay checks to Los Angeles and
building up bank accounts. The
thrift habit has taken hold of the

With Arizona dry and nothing to

SUPREME COURT
ESTABLISHES PRECEDENT

PHOENIX, ARIz., Sept 2e.-The
supreme court of the state set
new precedent for Arizona last Sat-
urday evening when in handing down
a decision in the case of the State
VS.. w. w. Kermeen, charged with
murder, the highest court of the state
vict. Heretofore it has been custom
ary with the court to order the man
back to the court in which he was
tried for re-sentence. In this case,
however, the court set the date for
November 4. This saves taking the
accused from the state penitentiary
where he has been confined since his
conviction to Cochise county, where
he was tried. This is the first death
warrant signed by the supreme court
and is of especial interest by reason
of the attitude of Governor Hunt and
Warden Sims in the matter of per-
forming executions.
Kermeen was convicted for having
killed man while on a hunting trip
near Bisbee nearly year ago. The
man had befriended his slayer some
time before but Kermeen shot him
just the same, robbed the body, and
fled to Ell Paso, where he was after
wards apprehended. He was tried,
found guilty in the lower court and
sentenced to hang first on October g.
1914.

FAIR NEWS LETTER

PHOENIX, ARIZ.. Sept. 2s.-The
month between October and Novem-
Der l each year is reserved by Sec
retary Shaughnessy of the Arizona
State Fair as the "box sale month"
because, during that time. the box
seats in the grand stand are sold.
The whole month is allowed for this
sale in order that those in the re-
mote parts of the state may have an
opportunity to reserve boxes for the
accommodation of themselves and
their friends during the gala week.
The price for the boxes, which con-
tain six seats, will be $4,000, the same
as the price last year. This $25 rate
is for the entire week. However, no
boxes will be reserved unless the res
ervation is accompanied by a check
for check of $500.
Although fifty additional boxes were
added to the grand stand last year,
the demasd was so great that these
were all taken before the first of
November. There is no doubt that
the demand will be just as great this
year, so prospective applicants are
urged to send in their reservations
and accompanying checks as soon as
possible so as not to be disappointed.
On November 1 the drawing for the
boxes will be held, according to the
order in which the checks are re-
ceived
While the many big features that
are to be offered at the State Fair
this year are competing with each
other for recognition, and speculating
as to which is to be the star attrac-
ton, probably no one department gives
more promise as to popularity than
the annual dog show. Everybody
loves the dog, and particularly if it
be a thoroughbred. While it is a
little early to announce many of the
entries at the present time. it can be
stated however, that the bench show
will eclipse any event of the kind ever
held in Arizona.
+ Among the entries already received,
are several high class Boston Bulls
from the kennels of Eddie Doyle and
E. Worcester. The handsome English
Bull bitch. ''Anawanda,' owned by Joe
Murphy, together with man trailing

and the well known stud, "Bonair Big

dogs will be entered from all over

hundred and fifty animals.
In accordance with the usual rule
of the American Kennel Club we shall
limit the show to four days instead of
six as heretofore, and we may pos

with the approval of many owners
who object to the longer period.
