Superior Court.

Superior Court. | Two MeXicanS were arraigned before Judge Laine last Wednesday, charged with violating the liquor laws of Ari- zona, in their preliminary trials. The | Court fixed the bond in each case, binding them over to the next term Alfonso Buffanae was the first to be brought to the Courts attention. Sheriff Slaughter nabbed Alfonso as he arrived in Clifton a few days ago. On and about his person the thirsty Alfonso had secreted full quart of | liquor. But Alfonso was just from the oasis, and on coming into the desert he had practiced preparedness, for l his trunk that came by the same train, was quite full of the same brand of | fire water. Alfonso was detained by | the sheriff, and his refreshments con- | fiscated. Judge Laine set his bond at $500. which he gave with Messrs. l Spezia and Zappia as securities, there by regaining his liberty.
 The second case for bootlegging which came on to be heard in its pre- limi1tary stage the same day, was that filed against Jesus Hernandez. Though bearing the same name as the Meek and Lowly Nazarene, yet Jesus exhibits an utterly disregard of following the precepts of the Saviour, who taught obedience to temporal laws. The modern Jesus has his habi- tat in the picturesque city of Met calf, from which place he was trans ported to the county seat several days ago and cast into prison" Judge Laine also fixed his bond in the sum of $500, in the defuult of which he still fingers in the county bastile. Booze cases held right of way on the docket Wednesday. Leopold Gui- terrez was also arraigned on the charge of introducing intoxicating 1i- quors into the State. The Court as- sessed his punishment at six months of hard labor and a fine of $50. Leo pold will contribute his muscular pow CT to improving the roads of Green l lee county, until the full penalty is | liquidated.
 One thing that is particular annoy l ing to the sheriff's department is the violation of the gambling laws of the state. Reports come to the office frequently that poker games pre- vail in different localities of the city but former arrests have not resulted I in conviction of the defendants. This | failure to convict is stated to be on | account of the law regarding card playing. According to the Arizona statutes it must be proven that the stakes played for are money. This is 1 hard to prove, stated Sheriff Slaugh- | ter Thursday, and for that reason no efforts are being made to arrest those who are known to be induIging in the l great American game.
 In the case styled Alvarico Pulice vs. w. B. Waldron, the court rendered | a decision in favor of the defendant in the sum of $67 .45. This action grew out of what plaintiff deemed excessive charges for repairs on an automobile, and plaintiff was holding the car for the amount alleged to be due. The verdict is about half of the original amount claimed by defend ant.
 Judge Sam Pattee who presided in several cases tried in the Superior court last week, decisions in which he held in reserve, will return to Clifton on April 18th to try other cases in which Judge Laine is disqualified |. Upon his return he will probably ren der decisions in the cases which are held in reservation.
