BIB CELEBRATION
 AT RIVERSIDE PARK

Riverside park on Friday will be the scene of one of the greatest outdoor celebrations ever staged in Phoenix. The management has arranged many novel and highly attractive stunts for the fourth, among which may be num- bered the big barbecue, which is to be served on that date. Three big steers have been secured for this feed and judging from the advance reports of the man in charge of the ceremony, it will be a spread that will long be re- membered. There will be plenty of meat for everyone-and it will be served free, all the management asks is that you bring your own bread.
 The fireworks display will perhaps eclipse anything of this nature before shown in the Salt River valley. The daylight display will be confined to the sensational Japanese inventions. The night display will be a gorgeous, multi colored pyrotechnic assembling of can- dies, rockets, colored fires, balloons, set pieces, and magnificent tabelaux and designs.
 The Willard Dempsey fight returns will be given to the crowd round by round. Dancing will be a feature in both the afternoon as well as the eve ning
 Then there will be water carnival at the big pool, which will embace both swimming and diving exhibitions, all events to be contested for prizes.
 The admission price will not be raised, but will be kept at ten cents, the same as always despite the mas siveness of the days program of events.

COUNTY ATTORNEY FILES HIo BRIEF IN
 DUNBAR ACTION

Declaring that public peace will be endangered if a man, ''ibeled and held up to public scorn and contempt In the most vicious and vulgar fashion, is unable to obtain any redress other than taking the law in his hand and resortfng to personal violence, L. M. Laney, county attorney, in a brief on behalf of the state in the Dunbar criminal libel case denounced the ar ticle appearing in Dunbar's Weekly as a nasty Villification.'
 It is a matter of history that in some states editors have been horse whipped and even shot for such libels, he sets forth in the brief filed in Jus tice De Souza's court yesterday. He asserts that he is very glad" that the complaining witness, P. R. Mines, sec retary to Governor Campbell, sought an orderly means of redress, rather than resorting to any sort of unlawful means of vindication.
 If the libelous words in question should be believed to be true by sui ticient number of persons in Arizona. who can doubt that the complaining witness would be an utter outcast so- cially, politically, in a business way and in every other respect?" asserts Laney who claims the article in which Mines was referred to as "degen- crate is libelous beyond peradventure of doubt and that it was maliciously published by Dunbar.
 After quoting freely from recen decision of the supreme court, Mir Laney says: We do not even have to look further than our own blair | statutory provisions to establish tha said article is clearly libelous."
 After citing other paragraps bearing | out his contention, he says:
 ITO say that the offending articl' ! does not tend to impeach the integrity ] virtue or reputation of the complain 1 ing witness and thereby to expos l him to public hatred, contempt O ridicule is utterly absurd. This is tru even if we leave out of mind the cover meaning of the article in it's relation to what the defendant vulgarly call ing witness is characterized as a de generate" and in the same paragraph referred to ironically as "a fine mora gent" and no honest jury could hol
 otherwise than that the defendant i | using the epithet degenerate in tn
 connection in which he used it mean
 and would be understood by the read
 ing public to mean, a degenerate as [

FROM PRESCOTT ID
 TEXAS AIR STATION

Destined probably for border air plane patrol duty, Sergeant M. T. Bon ham, a member of the air service re- cruiting squadron has been in this state the last month, arrived from Prescott last night on his way to San Antonio. Texas. Sergeant Bonham was hurriedly called from Prescott by wired orders. He flew to Prescott Tuesday with Captain l.. E. Appleby, Rockwell Field recruiting officer.
 Sergeant Bonham was much mysti- fled last night on the sudden order to report at Tucson, where he will meet a rarty of air service men and proceed with them to San Antonio. Border pa trol duty was the only explanation he could think of for the order. He re- ported that Lieut. Robert S. Worth ington, who flew to Prescott Monday, had been recalled to Rockwell Field at the same time his own order arrived. Lieutenant Warrington may fly through Phoenix today on his way to the field, or may take the train direct from Prescott.
 Living accommodations are not be had in Prescott and the city is thronged with Frontier Day crowds. Sergeant Bonham said. It is also delightfully."- cool in the Mile High city he added and the celebration seems to be making a big hit.
 Captain Appleby is expected to re- turn from Prescott with his plane Sat urday, where he will be joined by the plane which will spend the Fourth in | Florence. The two will then fly back to Rockwell Field in company.

UPHOLD DECISION
 BUT REMAND CASE

In the case of Wedgeworth versus WedgewOrth the supreme court yeSter day upheld the superior court decision in most of the findings, but remanded the case with directions that another finding be had in the matter of dam ages.
 This is an irrigation case from the Buckeye district. The plaintiff owned land below the defendants and had for years watered it by mean of a center ditch through the defendants land. This the defendant shut off or refused to further allow. Whereupon the plain tiff sued to establish his right to the use of the ditch across the defendants land, to the waste water, and to dam age. The lower court gave him all these contentious, but the supreme court rules that he could acquire no right to waste waters, consequently remands the case for a new fixing of the amount of damages.
 The defendant having acquiesced in the use of the center ditch by the plain tiff and even helped in such use, is held to be estopped from denying the plaintiffs right to use it.

Popular Impression Was Wrong - Local Letters Take 2-Cent Stamp as Usual - Changes Hit the Newspapers

Thousands of letters bearing only one-cent stamps swamped the local postoffice yesterday, the direct result of a popular misunderstanding, accord ing to officials, that letters for local delivery require no more postage than that. No letters classified for as first class mail can be delivered for one cent in cities having the carrier delivery system, it was explained, and in Phoe- nix the two-cent rate for local delivery remains in effect, as 1t does in pracsi- cally every city in the country.
 Yesterdays misunderstanding and the flood of one-cent stamped letters re- suited in considerable confusion, in asmuch as all the letters had to be re- turned. A large percentage of them were monthly statements, which con- sequeutlv will be delayed.

The old advertising rate varied from one and one-half for the first and second zones to three and quarter cents for the eighth zone.

 Newspapers are not so hard hit by the increase as are the magazines. and for smaller papers it will be almost negligible.
