BREAKS RECORD
U. S. DISTRICT ATTORNEY WALK
Err ESTABLISHES NEW MARK
IN FINES.

United States District Attor-
ney Stuart w Walker is making
name for himself as the best district
attorney which has, ever represented
this district. He and his force have
been exceptionally active in prescott
ing every offender and the business
OF the Federal Court all over the dis
trict has been carried on in an eff.
fective manner.
AS evidence of this, it is pointed
out that the term of the Federal Court
which just closed set new high
record in the amount of fines imposed
and the grand total is the highest for
the last % years
Between $4,000 and $4,000 in fines
were imposed upon the various often,
ders. One fine imposed was for so, 500
two amounted to 81 900 each, and there
were several of $3.50 each, as well as
a number of smaller fines.

but the stock was also insured.
The fire started in the rear of the

was first seen about 12.40 a. M, and
the firemen fought it for nearly two
hours.
Actual fire damage was small, the
chief injury to the stock coming from
the smoke and water; but even this
was confined to the rear of the
store. The blaze did not get upstairs
into the storerooms OF Mr. Snyder
and the residence of Mrs. Douglass.
There was scarcely any evidence this
morning in front of the store that
there had been a fire

brought considerable crowd to the
scene of the fire.
