ATTEMPT ID MANDAMuS BOARD OF CONTROL IN
 THE SUPERIOR COURT
Local Meat Man Attempts to Force Board to Buy at His Price, Lower Than That Of Rival Concern
 Who Get Contract

Alleging that the board of control bought meat from a rival concern at a cost greater than the bid of his company. E. Linsenmeyer, doing busi- ness as the Union Meat Company yesterday asked for a writ of man damus in the superior court to en- force the board to buy meat at his price.
 According to Linsenmeyers petition the board of control advertised for 2S,000 pounds of prime steer meat to be used at the state asylum for the insane. He also claims that he was asked in writing to submit bids for the meat.
 One the 9th of March the petition claims( Linsenmeyer submitted bid offering to supply the meat at ten ard one-helf cents per pound. The board, it is claimed, overlooked his bid and awarded the contract to the Pfoenix Wholesale Meat and Produce company who asked eleven cents for their meat.
 As his bid was lower than the bid of the company to whom the contract was awarded, and as the laws of Arizona state that all bids are to go to the lowest bidder, he asks the court to issue the writ.

EFFICACY OF PRAYER

This morning a big gray horse hitched to a small wagon baked in Jacob street a few rods from the Four Corners. For about fifteen minutes Traffic Policeman Casey Blodgett, as sisted by several others, used every manner of persuasion and device known to horsemen, but the horse would not budge. The horse was on the street car track and, as the car appeared up Elm street, the case began to be serious
 Presently an elderly colored man, a stranger, came along and said that he could start the horse. As all other means had failed and as the man seemed confident Blodgett told him to go ahead.
 The old man calmly knelt in the road by the side of the horse and be- gan to pray audibly to the God who had delivered the Israelites nom the hands of the Egyptians and brought them safely over the river Jordan to prevail upon this horse to obey his master and peaceably draw his load. In about fifteen seconds the horse started and the colored man sald Amen" The animal did not again balk, but worked all the forenoon with the utmost docility.
 The man said that he had often started balky horses by prayer and had never failed, but had never had any luck starting stalled automobiles in A similar manner, although he had many times tried-Penn Yan corre- spondence of Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

NEW STYLE PARTITIONS
 IN WALKER BUILDING

On account of their strictly modern type of construction the partitions in the lower floor of the new Walker block are attracting considerable at tention from architects and builders. The ceilings are nineteen feet high for the first floor which makes some types of partition construction i'm practicable. but allows a fine oppor- tunity to demonstrate the desirability of the metal studding and expanded metal lath that is being used. The herringbone lath used may be put up quickly, and on account of the pe culiar twist of the little rigs it is impossible for anything but a first class job of clustering to be done over it. The combination of steel studding, lath and plaster gives 6 sound proof, fire proof wall. These steel products are handled here by the Bennett Lumber Company, which has furnished similar material for the Arizona Eastern office building. the new Nurses Home and other similar structures where first class construction was demanded.

Reception Yesterday In Honor of Debutantes of This Town and Tucson, a Society Event at River side Park
By SALLY JACOBS

Several hundred attended the form al Phoenix debut of the local and Tucson ball clubs yesterday afternoon at Riverside park. Tuesday an or chestra and a band furnished the musical program, otherwise the fea- lures were not unlike the usual com ing cut party, only of course. more than one was introduced at this affair. There were the same grace ful compliments, new white costumes and countless introductions that dis tinguish like functions. Flowers were hardly noticeable though, because of the abundance of greenery. The soil down by the river must be in splen- did condition, for the green growth is luXuriant to say the least. It must have been just what was wanted for everyone remarked about the fine, fast fielding at first. We naturally thought they meant MT. Romaine Fielding, but after missing an inning in search of the motion picture di- rector and actor we finally decided We had been most foolish and that the agricultural word applied to some feature of the game. Although MT. Fielding was not present there were other celebrities who attended the function. the nature of which was a base ball game.
 Governor Hunt and Manager W. B. Twitchell were the first to play and without meaning anything disrespect- ful to the chief executive of our state he really can not pitch as well as our own MT. Toner or even MT. Horstman. They do say Mr. Horst man is splendid generally, but that travelling does not agree with him.
