as a fact, planning a descent on a

Penhale was convinced that they

way . it was unbearable.
Sneers, jeers, laughter he
hated them all. everybody. He would

folding hills his own place.
He drank off mis- ale. paid the score

his marrying 1t was to pass to her
late huSban'S cousin Carveth Donni-
throne, ship chandler of Falmouth
John Penhale paid silent tribute to
his aunt's cleverneSS. She disliked the
SNUG and infallible Donnithorne in
tonsely, and in making him her next
heir had passed over four nearer con-
nections with whom she was on good
terms. Her reasons for this curious
conduct were that she was a Penhale
by birth, with intense family pride,
and John was the last of her line. A
trivial dispute between John and Car
Veth over coursing match she had
fostered with all the cunning that was
in her till the mems dislike of each
other amounted to plain hatred She
knew John would do anything in his
power to keep Donnithorne out of the
Iregors' rents. She would drive him
into matrimony. and then, with rea-

John laughed grimly at the thought
OF his aunt-sly old desil. She had
married and left home before he was
born. and he had not seen her a score
of times in his life. but she was a
vivid memory. He could see her now
riding into Bosula, a-pillion behind
one of her farm hands, her cold blue
eyes taking in every detail Of the
yard. and hear her first words of
greeting, to her brother after a years
separation.

The COW came in at once; every

SOW and suffered many indignities.
That cured JabeZ.
Selma never stopped long at Bosula
three days at the moSt-but in that
time she would have inspected the
place from bound to bound, set every
body to rights and dictated the policy

A wealth of promises fulfilled is

We take pride in the manner in
which George w. P. Hunt has staunch-

pie of the state may rest assured that

its course whether within or partly

During his administration Governor
Hunt has made every reasonable eff

in respect to the Colorado river. The

The democracy of Arizona expresses
it's disapproval of the doctrines
preached against the courts of this
country, positive that the constitution
of our forefathers guarantees to us
freedom, equal rights and the pursuit
of happiness. We condemn in the
strongest terms the efforts of such
selfish interests who would overthrow
the courts of the land and take from
us those inalienable rights guaranteed
by the trainers of the constitution. The
safety of the liberties of the citizen
ship of the United States demands
that we have three branches of gov
eminent, legislative, executive and
judicial and any attempt at over
throwing any one of these strikes at
the liberties of the American people.
Following in the footsteps of our il
lustrious standard bearer, we again
affirm our belief in the rights of free
speech, peaceful public assemblage for
redress of grievances and oppose the
use of the injunction by the federal
courts preventing or hampering the
exercise and enjoyment of such rights.

We are willing to concede to the
states of the upper basin their equita-
