Field Notes from the Office of the
 County Engineer

Material has been ordered for the repair of the bridges which were damaged by the recent floods. Until this arrlves pre- paratorv work has been delayed.
 Surveys of the several changes in county roads made in 1915 have been taking the attention of this office for some time.
 The roads are now in excellent condition, perhaps never before in better. and will DO doubt re- main so until the next rains. The only exception to this is Tn the mountains.
 The drags have done excellent servIce within the past month and when the new road tractor and machines arrive this county will be well equipped for do- Ing more and economical work.
 The advertisement for the sale of bridge bonds will appear early in March.
 The disbursement of the coun- ty road funds for 1916 for the county roads will ap- pear under the proceedings ot the Board of Supervisors.
 The economical location of | bridges is the most important pre- liminary work for their construc- tion. The county engineer will | gladly meet with the people of the different localities concerning this matter.

personal use:

!
 From what has been said,
 it must not be understood
 that the mere claim that in toxicating liquor has been brought in by one for his personal use renders such a person immune fromprosecu- ton. Any one bringing in toxicating liquor into Ari- zona from outside the limits of the state does so at his peril. Whether he subjects himself to punishment or not depends on the use to which the intoxicating liquor is in- tended to be put. If the jury, under approriate in structions as to what use would be a violation of the law of this state, are con vinced beyond a reasonable doubt from all the evidence and circumstances in the case that such intoxicating liquor is intended by any person in terested therein to be Ire ceived, possessed, sold, or in any manner used" " in viola ton of any law of Arizona it would be their duty to con- vict.
 If the use intended violates no law in this state, then no 0ffense has been committed. "

 Feb. IA. 1916. The steer market was unsatisfactory last week, but there is a recovery today, sales strong to 10 higher. Buyers wanted some good to choice cat tie today, but top was $8. 50, be- ing held down by lack of finish in the offerings. Some plain cat tie of good weight sold at $7. 40 to SITS today, this class getting least advance.

Large CrorOd at Ball Come

A large crowd of people assembled at the ball park last Sunday afternoon tc witness the opening game o1 the season. The game was Ia contest between two local teams, the Regulars and In surrectos. The score was 16 to 15 in favor of the Regu- lars. The lineup of the two teams was as follows:
 Regulars: Pitchers, B. Gardner, H. Carpenter; c, E. Mineer; 1b, J. Patterson; 2b, L. H. Burke; 3b, Cahoon, Calvert; ss, H. Carpenter; If, Q. Gardner; of, c. Woods; If, E. Carron.
 Insurrectos: Pitcher, J. Overson; c, w. Brinkerhof ;; 1b, o. Marty; 2b, c. Gard her; 3b, J. Snider; ss, L. z. Bates; If, L. E. Bates; of, D. McLaws; If, I. Bates.
 Umpire, c. Osborne.
 Considering the fact that none of the players had any practice, the game was a good one, and it demonstra- ted the fact that there is good material here for a team. With the proper encouragement and there is no question but that a championship team can be developed, and 3 number of games can be arranged with outside towns. Another game between the same clubs has been called for next Sunday at2 p. m., and it is hoped that the at tendance will be large; also that all who witness the game will pay 25 cents for the privilege whether they take seats in the grandstand pr not.
 The Holbrook band was on the ball ground last Sun day and rendered some very ,reditable music. The band will play again next Sunday. Let everybody interested in oase ball attend.

Booze May Be Brought In

into the state of Arizona for
 personal use was held by the
 supreme court last Saturday
 in an opinion reversing the
 court below in the case of w.
 J. Steurgeon, appellant a.
 gainst the state, respondent,
 from Yuma county. The de-
 fendant had been tried for
 introducing a bottle of wine
 across the line at Yuma.
 His demurrer on the ground
 that the liquor was introduc-
 ed for his personal use was
 overruled. At the trial he
 sought to prove that the
 liquor was brought in for the purpose, but proof was de- nied. That was held to be error and the case was re- versed and remanded for a new trial.
 After quoting section 1 of the prohibition amendment, the court finds that three crimes are defined and de nounced: The traffic in in- toxicating liquors, the man. ufacture of intoxicating liqu- ors, and introducing or at tempting to introduce intoxi- eating liquors.
 Coming to the chief issue in the case, the court says:
 "The appellant sought toI show, by evidence, that the liquor with which he was charged with introducing in to the state was for his per sonal use, upon the theory that the prohibition amend ment to the constitution does not denO1nce or define ner- sonal use of intoxicating liqu- ors as a crime. He contends that it is not t-unlawful in this state to have in possession or to drink intoxicating liquors; that the Webb-Kenyon act does not divest or attempt to divest intoxicating liquors of their interstate character when shipped, transported or introduced into the state from without the state to be possessed or used for a law ful purpose.
 Search the prohibition a. as you will, there is no suggestion or intima- ton in any form contained therein. prohibiting the pos session or individual con- sumption of intoxicating liquors in Arizona. Indeed, it was freely admitted upon the argument by counsel who as amici curio that ! it is not a crime to possess ! pr drink intoxicating liquors in Arizona, and while the at- borney general, at least in : his brief, insists that the use pr possession is a crime, he fails to cite us to a single in- { stance where a prosecution nas been begun in any coun- : 5y of the state against any person for drinking intoxicat- z ng liquors or having it in { his possession. "
 After passing upon other z phases of the trial in the over court, the supreme ( ,ourt adds the following, E -ather for the guidance of z .l0co x.,bo ,ooou boc+o,o +0i
