KM STEWART SENTENCED The Swindler Could Only Plead Two Weeks of Unconciousness. Charles E. Stewart, who was brought back from Floience on Sunday nisht to answer a charge of obtaining money by false pretenses in having a worthless check cashed at the Tivoli garden, was before Justice liurnett yesterday morning. He pleaded guilty or rather he said he had no knowledge of his In nocence for he remembered nothing that hud happened to him in the. last two weeks. He had been drunk all that time. His story of his unconsciousness was rartiy borne out by residents of Flor ence but that was not taken as a miti gation of his crime. It is a wonder that Stewart ever lived to be arrested.' If a sane man had tried to do what he did he would have perished on the des ert. When he left Mesa. after having dis tributed worthless checks there he set out on foot for Florence. He did not -ven follow any travelled road but struck out across the desert. Ho trav ailed part of the way along the right of way of the Phoenix & Kastern and when he was picked up he was well h towards death of thirst. His tongue was hanging out. It is a marvel that lie was picked up at all for he was in a pa,rt of the country that is not fre quented. When he reached Florence he fell out of the wagon in which he had been riding and injured hi3 knee. While he was sitting on the bank of a canal nursing his wound an officer who had been instructed to look out for him came upon him and arrested him. Stewart made no special plea for mercy. He was sentenced to the counT ty jail for a period of Tour months and to pay a fine of $50. Not very much is known of him here but what is known is not to his advantage. Once while he was drunk he said he had been "nent over the road" twice. It is1 also known that he did not always go by the name of Stewart. In othes: parts of the country where he has bem he was call ed Kyle and when he first came here he said that was his name. He went so far as to try to scrape up a relation ship between himself and Constable Kyle. ' Stewart is about fifty years of age and looks as if he might at one time have been a business man. When he first came to Phoenix he applied to the New York Life insurance company for an. agency. He was not given one but was sent out to see what he could do in the way of writing insurance. He rent in a couple of applications and then drew upon the company for his commission. It was upon the strength of his alleged relationship to the com pany that he was enabled to negotiate his worthless checks.

PHOENIX WELL ADVERTISED By Eastern Press Notices of the Poker Rubaiyat. Within the last two weeks Phoenix has been brought to the notice o' many ptople in the United States who had never heard of the town bc-fore. It has come about in the eastern press notices of the Poker Rubaiyat. lately brought out here by Mr. Frank Holme, the art ist. As had been stated in the Repu'o lican's notice of the Itubaiyat it had been intended to bring it out in New York but before anything had be?n done on it Mr. Holme had been order ed to Phoenix by his physicians. The work was therefore done here even to the making of the suts with which it has been so elaborately illustrated. .It Is mentioned in ail the notices that Phoenix is the birth place of the book. It is certain that within recent years no other work has received such widespread and favorable notice. The New York Sun, for instance, which does not give up its space on small provocation devoted two columns to it and reproduced two of the cuts, one of which had been printed in The Re publican. It reprinted a considerable part of the text which had been furn ished by Mr. Kirke La Shelle, the actor, and highly praised both the work of the artist and the writer. The New York Herald gave a half page to it. Four cf the full page cuts were reproduced together . with the whole of the. text. Other papers which have extensively mentioned the work are the New York World. Telegraph ami Times; The Phil adelphia North American and the The orange 01 chard that belonged to the estate of E. W. Young war, sold on Saturday to J. W. Dorris of this city who secured the property at a bargain by reason cf the fact that Mrs. Young desired to close out the larger h'ddinga of the estate as quickly as possible. This is knewn to be one of the f nest pieces of property in the valley. un!y forty acres cf the 120 aero tract b -Ins improved. However the improve ments on the forty ac res are complete and the orchard is in a condition to pay returns at one?. Mr. Young was one of the leading orange growers c' the valley and had made orange culture a study. He be lieved that to get the best results one should study conditions and prepare for them. Thirty acres of the tract were planted ti oranges, six acres to al monds and the other four acres of the improved portion ore devoted to build ings, mixed fruits, etc. It is said the almond orchard is heavily loaded with young fruit and the oranges could not be in a mora satisfactory condition. In order to get the best out of his oranges Mr. Young enclosed eleven acres of his orchard in sheds t protect them from frosts shculd that be necessary on the theory that it is safer to spend a lit tle money to make absolutely sure im munity from severe temperature. Another thing Mr. Young looked after was the matter of irrigation. He supplemented his canal flow by the dig ging of two lis w-pIIs that will furnish a large amount of water at the time when it is most needed in the event of there being a scarcity in the ditches. Altogether it is one of tho finest tracts in the valley and Mr. Dorris has secured a rare bargain in getting hold of it. THE RESERVOIR CAMPAIGN Meetings Yesterday of the Council and Board of Governors. $100 REWARD The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there Is at least one dreaded iisease that science has been able to cure in Hll its stages, and that is Catarrh.

Toledo, O. Sold by Druggists. 75c, ' Hall's Family Pills are the best. The board of governors and the coun cil of the Water Users' association both held important meetings yesterday, the result of which it is believed brings into still closer and more harmonious relations the organization through which water storage is to be secured and the landowners whose influence and co-operation at. this time is so de sirable to the best success. The regular annual meeting of the council was held at the board of trade room yesterday afternoon, Vernon L. Clark presiding and A. P. Walbridge acting as secretary. The principal business of the meeting was the elec tion of officers to serve for the ensuins year. Mr. Clark was chosen to succeed himself, and for the office of secretary A. P. Walbridge was suggested. In fact, the members were rather insistent, but he decdined positively, and Emory Kays was elected unanimously. The council then took up in discussion the matter of the acquiring of the north side canals, the issue that resulted from the meeting of landowners held on Saturday. Judge Kibbey was present and gave a very Instructive talk on the subject. He read the resolution that was yesterday presented to the board of governors, and then explained that at the present time there is nothing for the council to do. When the landown ers or - the committees appointed by them shall have progressed with their work to the point of ascertaining on what terms and conditions the canal or canals may be acquired, and when they shall have petitioned the association to take action, there will then be some thing for the council to consider. Till then all that can be done is to work along harmoniously with, that object ultimately in view. The rest of the committee's delibcra-. tion was devoted to the considerathm of by-laws of which live sections; were adopted. These by-laws rclat-j to the collection of assessments, delin quencies and penalties to be enforced. Tlu council adjourned to niett again the first Monday in June. The meeting cf th? board f governors at the association rooms was well at tended. The matter of electing a sec retary was further deferred and reports were listened to from committees ap pointed to look after various matters. It was announced that a previous meeting of landowners under the I'tah canal had been postponed till next Sat urday, and it was also decided that a committee should begin soliciting in the vicinity of Tempe at once for signa tures to the articles of incorporation. The greater part of the afternoon though was devoted to the discussion of the resolution to which reference was made above, designed to outline positively the attitude of the members of the board of governors on the ques timi of the acquiring cf present canr.i systems. The articles cf th? association giV'i the board the power to acquire canal systems, a very necessary provision in view of things that may happen in the tutuie. Many landowners who would otherwise sign the articles have been afraid to do so for fear the governors I might tax their lands for the purchase of canal systems under which they which after long diseu:;s:on was almosijS" unanimously adopted, is as follows: Resolvpd. bv the board of envcrnnrs i ! of the Salt Itiver Valley t'sers" asso ciation that the water usis under the various camils. within th' reservoir district, be rcr.:cst"d to organize for the purpose of perfecting means for ! the acquisition of the canal.- by th"m. That it is the sense of ihe board that the water users should organize, under such form as they may find m.ist adapt ed to that purpose, to act concertedly and effectively in the matter of acquir ing tho distributing can.ils. Tiiat those under each canal should effect a separ ate organization and such organiza tions proceed separately, or where con ditions make it desirable by uniting two or more of them together. The board Is outlining the plans of the organizers of the association in these suggestions. Tt is the intention that the water users shall do the work of acquisition of the necessary canals upon such terms and in such manner as they shall deem best. It is further suggested that the various usts under the several canals should adjust anion.? themselves their respective rights to the carriage of water and the appor tionment of the cost of thr canal, so that: as th? canals shall come under the maragemcnt of the association the rela tive rights of carriage of the users will have been determined.
