 On the basis of its proof that there was TO compelling need for Matt Racivich. United Verde miner, to take a path that led past a dangerous steam shovel cut near the old site of the mine offices. jury in the United States court yesterday morning ex- onerated the company of any blame and dismissed the claim of the plain tiff to $5.OOO damages.
 Racivich alleged that he had taken q certain well used path from the change room to the city when he slid down a cut bank over hundred feet and was badly injured. The com pany's defense. conducted by LeRoy Anderson's office, was based on the fact that there was safe road pro- vided and that a wire cable had been put Up to prevent persons from ap- preaching too near the edge of the steam shovel cut.

FUSES TO LIGHT FIGHT
 PATH WEDNESDAY EVE
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

With. trail of burning fuses light ing in red the way to Moose hall at the West Gurley street bridge, the crowd that has been thronging Rob .inson's cigar store and the Owl Drug company to purchase tickets for the big fights tonight will follow the lights to the big card of Thanksgiv- ing eve bouts to be staged at the Moose hall by Fight Promoter Len w. Cook.
 Though the Lewis twins have been taken off 27 a curtain raiser, the pro- gram of fistic Jurors tonight is cal culated to stir the pulses of the slow est-blooded spectator. Every man on the program will be examined this afternoon by Dr. H. T. Southworth, and no one not in first class shape be- ing permitted to step under the hopes.
 With transportation wired to the Phoenix members of the pugilistic eight who will entertain Prescott fight fans, and with Major Stanley's promise that all patients ordinarily eligible for passes will be able to ob- tain them tonight, both fighters and spectators will be on hand in full force for as interesting a boxing pro- gram as has yet been set forth be- fore local fight fans.
 Lynch is very deceiving in his ap- pearancc, a fact which, since he re- scmbles a college professor more than a fighter, has on several occas- ions caused foolhardy persons to try their hand at picking quarrels with lim. Lynch, however, as on a re- cent occasion at the post, simply smiles, says he has been hit lots of -imes, and quietly withdraws. After wards, the lopponent usually learns hat he has made a mistake, and !, makes haste to forget his wrath
 Mrs. L. W. Cook, mother of Wal CT Cook, will arrive in Prescott to- lay to see her son in action in the ix-round bout he will put up with NJ Beaumont of Phoenix.

 While Nazimova was getting hers downstairs, about thirty immature Elks were undergoing like process upstairs in the Ellls building last night. Of the two, the young Elks probably had the better time of it., because their hazing was done in a spirit of fun and brotherhood
 It began with the arrival of Elk dom's Jerome chiefs and the pro- cession of soon-to-be Elks, through the streets in midaftcrnoon. They were sorry lot with costumes and a big bass drum and plenty of spon- sors on hand to see that they were properly humbled before taking on the dignified estate of wearing ant lers. Clustering processes which were started in the afternoon were continued during the night until the candidates had been SO tanned as to eat out of the hands of their tormen- tors and in other ways signify their vassalage to the principles of the order. It is understood that the goat was well and thoroughly rode.

WOUNDED BOY BROUGHT
 IN TO LOCAL HOSPITAL
LFrom Wednesday's DailyN


 Walking three miles after having accidentally shot himself through the fleshy part of the leg, James Res ley, l6 residing six miles from Skull Valley, yesterday came to Prescott for treatment, and was taken to the county hospital.
 Out in search of some stray goats, Resley had taken along an old six shooter with the idea of killing some game should he come across any, and shot himself through the leg as he was handling the gun. After walking three miles, he was taken to the train by his brother, and came into Pres cott where he was met by Fred Campbell, superintendent of the county hospital.
 The bullet that had been in his leg \ since 10 o'clock yesterday morning was extracted and the wound treated.
 Resley will probably remain at the institution several days, while the wound, not a serious one. heals over.

COLD SNAP MAY PRESAGE
 WINTERS FIRST BIG STORM
(From Wednesdays Daily.)


 | First of the seasons real cold snaps has caused wheather-wise old heads to predict sample of climate for the latter part of the month, sim liar to that of a year ago, when heavy downpours of rain for a weeE, turned into the first he-snow of the season on Thanksgiving night and left the city frozen up and for some hours without electric service.
 Unfortunately the weather office at the post has been closed for a num- Der of weeks, due to the departure of the young man who had the observa- tions in charge and there is a gap in the official weather records of the city.
 Stockmen are not hilarious1y pleased over the continued holding off of snow, although it has its ad- movements of cattle and sheep being delayed on account of ab- normal numbers of them left on the ranges by a season of low demand and few shipments.

 Manager Vanderhoef of the steam shovel department regrets the shut down deeply, as he had been able to build up a good and competent crew of employees, according to Schraplan. Many of the men worked for Wander hoef in Nevada and came to Jerome to work under him on the United Verde project, being assured of fine accommodations, good boarding house and good pay and treatment The men were a jolly crowd, Schrap- Ian says, and nearly everyone had an appropriate nickname. The powder boss, for instance, was called TINT" Vanderhoef has issued significant request to his men to keep in touch Tor a possible offer of re-employment when the wheels start turning again.
