known as the East Evergreen addition
an $50 acres now known as a part of
the Sims addition. Beside these prop
critics., acquired from the government
and to which he obtained title, lie be-
came heavily interested in Phoenix
town property.
Built In 1879
The homestead was built in 1873.
1t was one of the first brick houses
ever built in this country, and stands
today, picturesqely surrounded by old
palm, umbrella and other trees, ma
jestic and made beautiful with age.
Its red bricks, similar to the bricks
used in the construction of the original
part of the present court house, and
the city hall, are in perfect state of
preservation, bearing the appearance of
being able to withstand another 40
years of life among the old trees and
surrounding verdure.
Crete Bryan died at Prescott, Aug
ust 9, 1888. The homestead property
title was held by his wife, VIVA Bryan,
Bryan prior to his death, however, had
| contracted a mortgage upon his en-
| tire estate that he might further ex-
tend his business interests. The re-
suit was that NJ. w. Kales, then the
only banker in Phoenix, said to be. still
alive in California, who held the mort
gage, threw the matter into court. An
auction sale was held. the old timers
say, and Kades was the only bidder.
and he acquired the whole property,
although he was also administrator of
the estate.
Some time passed and then a num-
Der of Tombstone attorney, with eyes
upon Phoenix and its properties,
searched the law and discovered loop
hole in the law through which they
could attack the title to the Bryan
estate. These Tombstone attorneys
moved upon Phoenix prepared for bat
tie. They enlisted the support of Tom
Bryan, a brother Of Crete, and started
to work. Two suits were brought by
them. One of them was in equity and
one for ejectment.
Considered As Intruders
Phoenix being the battle ground. the
Tombstone attorneys were considered
as intruders. and many Phoenix peo-
pie lined up with the defendants as
against the plaintiffs. The suits were
taken to the territorial supreme court
and later to the United States supreme
court. The outcome of the long liti-
cation was a. decision in favor of the
defendants, or the banker and his fol-
lowing.
So intense was the feeling at the be-
ginning Of the trial. between plaintiff:
and defendants, or as against the in
trusion of Tombstone upon the sacred
precincts of Phoenix, that an indigna.
ton meeting was held at the city palza
where the city hall is now situated.
Reports of the proceedings of thi.
meeting, as related by old timers yes.
terday are at variance. But from these
several reports CLEANED enough fact!
and allegations to carry the story. TIT
Indignation meeting was called by tn,
defendants and attended by the plain
tiffs and their supporters in full. Hipi
were unusually heavy that night ant
the whiskey, the old timers affirm
was good. there being no bad whiske!
in those days. it being matter o
taste and brand only.

PARIS, June 12.-The decision reached in secret ses-
sion by the socaed council of four of the conference
awarding the Chinese territory of Kao Chou to Japan will
lead to great in the Far East unless the injustice
is corrected
Not only does this act the most bitter resent
ment of the Chinese people but it tends to continue and
aggravate the conditions in the Far East which the
of the anagonsm and dssenson between the foreign
powers
1t amounts to a victory for the military autocracy in
Japan. and will confirm and encourage it in predatory and
coercive policy toward China and Russia.
1t will involve America by giving color to Japan's inter-
probation of the Lansngh agreement relating China
Interpretation which completely vates the traditional
policies of the United States toward China.

tics. that the so-called Great Pow
ers in Europe decline to entrusi

II is only the weak nations tina,

selves. the Chinese vastly would
prefer that IL be left I'm the hands
Of Germany. which nation seized
10 by an act OF ruthless intimida-
ton. rather than have Japan there.
The wishes OF the Chinese have
been wholly disregarded in dispos-
ing Of this important and sacred
part OF China's ages-oid domain.
and the Chinese population are left
to suffer and endure the pains of
Japanese occupation
No Chinese trusts Japan's oft-re-

which assurance. by the way. was
omitted from the treaty
