 Here Aggression in accordance with the best usage of story writers should be made to introduce that offending telegram which had previously been read from Mir Bullard as tending to disclose the sentiment Of Parker to- ward MT. Mocur. The telegram was dated at Fl Paso, May ,, and was in language as follows:
 tIx-I4and Commissioner Moeur
 Phoenix. Arizona.
 Congratulations on your promotion. I have always believed you would make good if promoted. You will do well in your new position.
 "A F. Parker"
 Mir. Moeur. so far as known, had ex- pressed no homicidal intentions, but 1t was surmiSed that such telegram was not calculated to strengthen the bond of friendship between him and Parker.
 Ben Clark Again on Stand
 Mir LOSS naturally desired to be heard regarding this visit to Mrs. Parker. He admitted the call and the purpose of 1t, to secure the letter that had been seEt to the commissioner. He had changed his mind about it and had resolved that he did not care to be a party to a demand for the resignation of the commissioner without cause.
 The first witness of the evening was Deputy Land Commissioner Clark. That was a continuation of the hear ing of the night before relating to the taking of leases to the Hotel Adams to be delivered to MT. Barrows. He did not take them after a conversation with Peter '. Munch, then connected with the office of the commissioner. and who had been told that $700 would be paid to the man who delivered them. This information came from K. K. Koontz of the John 1T. Page company. Mir. Clark said he saw and talked with Barrows that night and explained to him why the leases had not been de- livered. MT. Clark said that he had not previously been aware of the pro- test against the leases filed by the Bcquillas Land and Cattle company.
 MT. Struckmever closely questioned Mir. Clark regarding the procedure in the commission relative to action upon for leases. MT. Clark re- i piled that priority was not reearded l as vital element. but he added that l one was not penalized for making ap l plication before anyone else.
 All Is Serene
 MT. Koontz was next called. He had | testified the night before regarding | this incident of the intended delivery | of the lease, but he had then declined | to testify from memory regarding the | applications of the BoquillaS Land and l Cattle company. which, he said were 1 so numerous and complicated that he | would have to fortify himself with the | Those records were not only | n his office. but he believed that they 1. were also in the commissions. He i that further information night be secured from Mir Page. whom | le expected at the hearing shortly.
 There was no other echo of the violent scene of the night before, in which w. R. Evants had testified re- yarding 5000 check received by George Mcdonald of the commissions ITS office from F. R. Reid, and which Mr. Macdonald said had not been re- ,eived from Mir. Reid. Nor was there further reference to the episode in which Evants had said that Guy Acuff. | another appraiser. had given him q 'ecipe for fattening their bank ac- counts. to which Mir. Acuff had re- oined that EvantS was q liar. and then 1e staged a come back in the state nent that Evants had been the orig nator of that recipe.
 There was no other testimony of cred. Mir Struckmeyer proposed an tdjournment, saying that probably an 'theT day would bring some witnesses yho could give substance to a pro- .eeding which so far had dealt only with shadows. and he flourfshed a. tel H. lt, rom an attorney -at-law notifying him hat he would arrive in the city this morning. Mir Struckmeyer declined o make known the name of the sender ut he read the body of the telegram which seemed to indicate that the at orney would come loaded.
 Dispeis Mystery
 The mystery he was making of the elegram was dispelled by MT. Moeur. vho said in loud voice that he knew rom whom the telegram had been re eived. John w. Gungl, an attorney of Lpostrophic name, residing in Wilcox.
 There was no disposition to proceed urtiler with the hearing last night nut there was a diSa greement as to he time at which the adjournment hould be taken. MT. Simms was tired f the whole business. which had mo- opolized the affairs of state since last and he desired to see the pstsszz<
