THREE ARRESTS FOR THOSE WHO
 DEFY OFFICERS
Continuation of Trouble Last Saturday Night
 Trial Is Being
 Held Today.

Warrants were issued yesterday and served on John Baxter, better known as Moose" Baxter, Ed Har- dy and John Burns charging them with refusing to assist peace ofti- cers in the discharge of their duties and with attempting to help pris- oner escape from custody of the officers. and also with violent, riot uous and disorderly conduct and the use of abusive and obscene language.
 The warrants were served and the men were released under S10O bail each. They will be tried within the next couple of days, although the date has not been set. The arrests of the three men grew out Of the fight which occurred on Front street Saturday night when the officers had such a hard time to arrest Har- ry Brown. on a charge of fighting and disorderly conduct.
 The trial of Brown is being held before Magistrate Petit this after noon at the city hall The fight started Saturday night in front of Che Louvre Bar. after the proprietor of that place had closed his place at midnight, and was between Hardy and Brown
 The officers interferred and Brown resisted arrest and they appealed to Baxter and Burns to assist them in taking the men to jail, but the latter refused in no very choice language. according to the conn plaints. It is understood that other warrants have been issued but as yet have not been served.
 Late this afternoon the trial Of Brown was postponed indefinitely owing to his physical condition The dates for the other trials have not been set.

ALASKA INSANE CURES LEADING
 IN ENTIRE U. s.

"I believe that there would be less criticism of the keeping of the in. sane patients from Alaska outside of the Territory if the people really un- derstood the conditions that exist at Portland" said Dr. II. Waldo Coe. who is the head of the Morn mgside Sanitarium at Portland where Alaska's insane are cared for
 "In the first place said Dr. Coe. "the percentage of cures at Morning side is greater than at any other similar institution in the United States by 7is per cent, and the re- ports will show that. Counting elope' ments-the term applied to escapes and those elopers who are not al- most immediately picked up and re- turned are really cures, and in many institutions they are SO classified. we have cured 42is per cent. Of the patients who have been with us.
 "This result is largely due to the fact that our Alaska patients are given complete change of climate a well balanced diet all the fresh air that they need and close medi- cal and attendant care.
 We employ three physicians reg. ularly for the 200 Alaska patients that we have. The usual rule is to have one physician for several hun dred patients.
 "We have larger porch space than any other hospital for the in- sane in the West in proportion to the number of our patients. We have more ground space for exercise dur ing good weather"
 pr. Coe is at the Gastineau Hotel and says he would be pleased to see and talk with anyone who desires to discuss the Alaska insane. pariic ularly those who have relatives oi friends in the asylum.

The Old Age Pensions Law

The supreme court in holding the Old Age and Mothers Pension law to be invalid was left nothing else to do by the who prepared the initiated bill As it was drawn it made compliance with it's terms impossible and also, it drawn. it was contrary to public policy If it had been effective It left orphans and certain class of ndigents without aid and provided aid for certain class of widows wives and children who might be in need of assistance. It failed to conform in form to constitutional quirement regarding it's title.
 The men who prepared it meant we'll enough. They desired to take away from poverty part of it's sting-to remove the humiliation of a residence in a poorhOuse and make general relief to the needy, granted sometimes by the caprice of boards of supervisors, and perhaps sometimes with held by caprice.
 This bill and it's fate suggest very plainly the need of supervision by competent authority of initiated measures, if popular government is to be successful Such bills are usually drawn by persons unskilled in work of that kind They have in their clear idea of they want, but without the of proper expression that comes only of special training. Once the bill is filed there is no opportunity for correction if it's friends should dis cover need of it's correction. In this case it was patent long before the elefection of years ago that the bill defective. The defects which pointed out in the lower court and which empha- sized in the supreme court decision discerned early in the campaign but nothing could be done about them When attention called |, them the advo- cates of the baill said the opponents of the were only indulsng in campaign argument ma ority of the voters who expressed themselves proposition either took that view voted blindly, that after two of litigation have emerged from the hole which entered and con frOnted by familiar surroundings.

RESTRAINING ORDER
 PREVENTS MEETING
Meeting Called to Reorganize Arizona Girl Mine Is Postponed Owing
 to Court Order

The special meeting of the Arizona Girl Mining and Milling Company, which was called for o'clock yester- day afternoon at the Adams hotel for the purpose of reorganization. ad- journed without anything being ac- complished along that line. This was due to the fact that a few moments preceding the meeting the superior court had granted a restraining order preventing Con Cronin, a stockholder in the company, who is alleged to have had the proxy of w. l.. Burt, from voting.
 In Q complaint filed in the office of the clerk of the superior court yester- day in which James H. Westervelt is the plaintiff and w. l.. Burt, the Ari- zona Girl Mining and Milling company and Con P Cronin are defendants. it would seem as if the Girl had fallen into bad company.
 The plaintiff alleges that the defen- 1 dant Burt represented to him that Burt and his partner, J. D. MagaW, held an option on nine mining claims in the San Francisco mining district in Mo have county, and by terms of the op- tion the purchase price was $500 1T cash, on execution of a deed by tho owners. and 250,000 shares of stock il the corporation to be formed with { capital stock of 900 900 shares. Bur proposed that they cooperate, he ant his partner paying $250 of the $50' and receive 100000 shares of stock. anC the plaintiff to perform all legal ser vices and give s250 and receive in re
 turn 50,000 shares for his work an' 100000 shares for s250. The plaintiff
 relying on the representations of tn
 defendant, proceeded to carry out tn
 proposition. Alleging that the repre-
 sentations made by Burt and his part
 ner under the name of Burt X Magav
 were untrue. the plaintiff is now en deavoring to have the court canoe Burt's stock. He also petitioned tn court to restrain Con Cronin from vot 7 ing at yesterdays meeting.

FoREsAW INTERVENTION IN '5s

The Baltimore Clipper Monday morning, Janu- 25, 1858 said of Mexico in part:
 The various factions, parties and insurrectonary movements which exist and constantly transpir- ing in Mexico indicate very distinctly that Mexico is rapidly reapsing to the state of Ioarbarsm that marked the of it's conquest by Cortez and his con- panions and that stable government can be formed by the present inhabitants of the country In fact the people incompetent govern themselves. and will not submit to any ruler chosen ~ popular vote
 From all appearances, we are of the opinion that Comonfort will be overthrown; and we think that the popular sentiment at present of the restora- ton of Santa Anna to supreme power. He has tried the experiment before and failedand such will be the result of another trial
 The materials for regular and permanent gov ernment do not exist, and Mexico must continue in anarchy until the annexation the whole country to the United States shall become evident necessity.

BootIegging in Cochise

Sheriff Harry Wheeler of Cochise county is ducting d courageous but uphill fight against boot logging in his county the of what appears to be a preponderance of opinion in favor of the liquor traffic and with the inadequate weapon afforded in the present prohibition amendment. It has been difficult to secure convictions in that county count of the tendency of the average juryman to disregard his oath making up his verdict. (We about say, account of the and facility with which the average juryman will commit perjury)
 So bold have the bootleggers become the larger towns of Cochise county that they and their friends in the past have resorted the intimidation of the witnesses against them spies employed by the county. and have actually driven essential witnesses out of the county by threats of bodily violence by prosecuting them trumped up charges.
 In spite of all these difficulties the sheriff. after carefully laid net, has just arrested thirty-six persons in Douglas out of fifty against whom warrants issued The defendants include chants and keepers of resorts such pool and supposed soft drink stands. Among them are many old time barkeepers. The defendants according newspaper reports of the raid, treated the whole matter joke and while they awaiting their release ball. organized branch of the "Booueggers' Union" and protested against "scabs" who had the price of booze
 We that there is a strong prohibition senti- ment in Cochise county but it to have lain dormant it's splendid effort in of the pro hbition amendment two years If it would now to the aid of the sheriff with the vigor with which it conducted the campaign it could compel the conviction of the guilty and could secure such measure of punishment for them that they would hesitate violate the law the second time.
 The courts themselves have contributed to the iocular view which offenders have taken of the law by the imposition of ridcuously light sentences conviction. In there have been only light fines and in small fine and ten days imprisonment. Courts in the of a crime of this kind, which is committed with careful design, and which it is difficult detect, should make dis
 nction between first and second offenses but should impose in all cases the extreme penalty prescribed by law That penalty itself is too light. The crime should have been defined felony. The bootlegger is meancr and more despicabe than a horse thief.
 The law and the provided for it's enforce ment lack teeth which only legislature can supply and urge upon the friends of the law in this and in all counties that only who will give it teeth shall be elected to the legislature this fall To do this the voters disregard party lines alto geher and for such candidates they know will favor effective legislation, wherever they may be party.
