Superior Court Grist

Mrs. Matte Peters, of Winslow, sentenced to one year in the penitentiary a few weeks ago by Judge Sapp for aggravated assault and later paroled, is again in jail. Her parole was tenn porarilly revoked Friday morning by Judge Sapp, it appearing that she had made herself obnoxious to the sherif's office in attempting to secure the release of her son, Charles Ross, from jail. Ross is charged with bring ing liquor into the state and will be tried for the offense in August. Mrs. Peters will remain in the custody of the sheriff until the first Monday in August when Judge Sapp will make final decision as to whether or not she shall serve a years sentence in the penitentiary.
 Other cases disposed of Friday by Judge Sapp were those of the two Apache county men, Gallegos and Perez, who pleaded guilty to bringing whiskey into the state. Each was fined $100, which fines were paid. Joaquin Salas, another boot legger, was fined $100 by Judge Sapp and is in jail.

Railroads Will Refuse
 Booze Shipments

Attempts to mandamus Ari- zona railroads doing interstate business to carry personal use booze into the state will be fought, Unless compelled by a court order to handle liquor, the railroads will reject shipments.
 This is the announcement of Jack c. Forrest, local attorney for the Arizona Eastern Sunday on his return from a long con- ference of attorneys and traffic men representing every railroad doing interstate business in Ari- zona. Acknowledgement was made of threats to mandamus the roads, and to sue them for damages in the event of their refusal to tote the red-eye.
 It was for the purpose of avoiding possible suits, that tentative agreement was con- sidered about ten days ago, by the traffic officials, to carry liquor. Subsequently, it was strenuously denied but it was not until Saturday, in the con- ference of legal and traffic off, cers that the railroad men de- finitely decided to contest the issue. The discussion lasted the entire day. Phoenix Republican.
