OVER THE LINE IN ARIZONA
The Building Boom Growing in
Phoenix
MISS MASON HAS HER SAY
Arizona Teachers' Association to Meet
in Prescott
A Shooting Affair at Prescott—The Shipment
of Cattle on the Increase—A Keeper
In Possession of a nine
PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 26.—One oi the
most important building deals ever made
in Phoenix was yesterday consummated,
and from it a tine business block will
rise where now oxists that noxious nest
known as Chinatown, though embracing
but two city lets.
Mainly through the efforts of T. W.
Hine a company was yesterday organized
for this purpose, and enough stock was
subscribed to purchase tbe two lots on
First street south of Adams, upon which
now stands tbe long, rakish building
which is but a combination of Chinese
stores with a network of cells beneath, as
described Jn the Republican somo timo
ago.
Today the Chinese occupants of this
building will bo served with notice to
v.i ato on tho tirst of November, their
rents being paid up to that time, ff at
the expiration of tbe time of limitation
they do not move, forcible eviction will
swiftly follow.
The quarters which long have been a
disgrace to a civilized city will be torn
down as soon as the Chinese remove and
in their place a mngnitioent four-story
building will be erected,fronting on First
street. The structure will cost by rough
estimate, in the neighborhood of $00,000.
It will be mainly an oliico building with
store rooms on tlie ground floor.
Especially notable are the improve
ments projected for Adams street. Tlie
greatest is that of a combined opera
house and business block on tho Good
rich corner of Adams and Center. Ten
local capitalists are associated in the
movement and dirt is expected to fly on
the foundation worK before a month.
The building is to be of the finest finish,
80x70 in size, and three stones in height,
and is to involve an expenditure, inclu
sive of land valuation, ol $100,000, all
home capital. The auditorium is to bo
ono of the li"est in tho west.
Other buildings, about to ha eroded
are: A three-story block hy Perkins &
Bajiore, Judge H. C. Oiring and H. 8.
Wahelin will each erect two-story blocks;
M. W. Kales will raise the National hank
blooK to three stories; the Goodrich and
Goldman buildings arc to be torn down
and the site to bo used occupied by one
of the finest blocks in the south west;
D. V. Quinn lias drawn plans for a two
stury block to have a double and orna
mental frontage.
Mr. Miller, who keeps a small hotel near
the railroad depot, was shot and killed
yesterday in Prescott by a man named
Hobart. Miller and Hobart had a dispute
about a hotel hill and Hobart drew a
Winchester on the landlord, who was
quite an aged man, but, reconsidering
11is act, went away, but returned in a
ahort timo on horseback, called the land
lord outdoors anil shot him.
10pes Randolph, superintendent of the
Southern l'aciho railroad in Arizona, ar
rived in Phoenix yesterday in his speoial
car, San Carlos, on his tirst visit, to the
capital. Mr. Randolph roasted himself
on the Colorado desert for lung truuble
for months before assuming his present
position, and was entirely cured. Mr.
itar.uolph Is rcgaided in railroad circles
ns one of tne most competent of men and
in every way qualified to till the high
position he assumed.
Henry, the colored procurer who left
Phoenix between two days recently, was
a character indeed. Papers left in his
room, now in the hands of an olficer,
disclose the fact that he was connected
with agencies in Los Angeles, Han Ber
nardino, Kedlauds and various ether
California cities, and all are engaged in
tlie same disreputable business as was
he in Phoenix. The scoundrel has been
engaged in this kind of work for years,
and the letters in the officer's hands
will set quite a few of Arizona's
leading men residing beyotid the confines
of Phoenix a thinking hard and fast.
While the iiohos It] charge of Deputy
Marshal Hooker were cleaning tlie vicin
ity uf South Third strtet yesterday morn
ing, a spirit of freedom struck tlie con
fin 3d element and a break for liberty was
ttie result. He looked wise and proceeded
to round up his live stock, and, with the
assistance of Deputy Unitod States Mar
shal John Slausard, succeeded admir
ably. Aftor returning the prisoners to
the field of labor Hi attached the ball
and chain to their lower extremities and
running ceased.
Forty more men went out yesterday
west of the city, to the vicinity of the
St. John's canal, to dig eanaigre. Pro
fessor P. A. Qulley is in charge of these
forces, the men being paid 12,' i cents a
sari;lull for digging.

John W. Bohm was yesteruay before
tlie probate judge charged with "being In
sans. He was acquitted of the charge
upon tlie evidence produced as well as his
examination. Hard drink had tempor
arily shaken iiis iutelect.
Cattle shipments to and from this val
ley are quite brisk at present. On Sun
day eleven carloads of fat beef steers
went north over the 8. P., P. & P. road,
while that same evening Joe Mouihan re
ceived live carloads of feeders, which ho
will proceed to fatten on his ranch.

Hull Dog mine ami placed it in care ol a
keeper. The mine and mill were shut
down. The attachment was issued by tlie
Fanners' exchange of Mesa for $ 12f>0 for
wood and supplies. The matter was oc
casioned by ther<) being some internal
differences in the company. The claim
is reported a good one, and all hope the
affair Will soon he adjusted.

that tbe Courier correct certain wrong
.statements given out by the Journal-

new members who have been sent for to
take the places of Mr. and Mrs. Campbell
who, according to previous threats made
by them, have circulated these stories
derogatory to the company. The troupe
is not traveling as an advertising scheme,
but naturally mentioned tho bicycle com
pany which sboweil them favors. The
company only rode on the cars thirteen
miles in crossing the desert from Califor
nia, and this was at night on account of
Miss Mason breaking her wheel. This
statement they aver will be borne out by
trainmen nt Needles. Miss Mason is
making the trip on a wager. She is
DacKed by Gustavo Walter of the Orphe
um theater of San Francisco and Los
Angeles, and refers all doubters of tbe
correctness of her statements to him.
Miss Mason spoke with much feeling nnd
sincertiy. saying that she was an artist,
in her calling und had never before been
accused of traveling as "an adveitiling
scheme." The troupe has received fa
vorable mention at several points where
performances were given. T hoy will give
another performance at Patton's o| era
house Saturday evening.

Notes of the Day
SAX BERNARDINO, Oot. 27.--Arthur
G. Fletcher, the secretary of the state fish
commission, and tho prosecuting witness
in the cases foi violating tho game laws
which have occupied the attention of
.lodge KilOX this week, managed to get
his trial over and his tine paid without
the knowledge of the prosecution. He
went before Judge Soule Thursday and
waived the formality of arrest, and the
case was set for Saturday, But yes
terday fes hurried matters along still
more by going bstore Judge Soule, plead
ing guilty and paying the $i! fine which
th? court assessed. The only satisfaction
which those who wished to see mm pun
ished can get is that if lie had waited
until today he would not have been lined
at all, as District Attorney Haley had
about conoludod to dismiss the com
plaint.
On the memorable Sunday when
Fletcher discovered the party of San
Bernardino people hunting in the lields
near ltialto he helped himself to a few
bunches of grapes, while waiting for all
the members of thu party to gather in,
and Fletcher admits tbat he was not alone
In tho offense. But when it was found
that he was a game warden, aud that he
would prefer charges, the owner of tbe
vineyard was looked up and induced to
swear out a complaint against, Fletcher
for stealing grapes. The owner proved
to be T. O. Carter and he swore out the
cotnrlaint before Judge Soule. The war
rant was placed in Policeman T. A. Car
ter's hands but was never served, and
Fletcher rather scored a point by waiv
ing the service. His plea of guilty and
the payment of the line is probably the
end of that feature of the case.
District Attorney Daley says that ho
had been intending to go before Judge
Soule and move todismiss tbe complaint,
but had not thought of Fletcher antici
pating him by pleading guilty bofore the
case came up regularly today.
FATHER STOCKMAN B REMOVAL.
Father P. J. Stockman, who lor twon
ty-two years has been tlie parish priest in
this city, has been transferred to Santa
Barbara and wilt tako up his residence in
that lovely city by tbe sea next week.
The removal is In accordance with an or
der just promulgated by Bishop Mora of
Los Angeles, and was made necessary by
the death of Father James Villa.who hail
been the parish priest of Santa Barbara
for many years.
Tho announcement comes in the nature
of a surprise to tlie members of the parish
and to the people of the city generally,
but it was not unexpected by Father
Stockman. For sonic time he has been
aware of tlie btshon's intentions, but no
publicity was given to tho subject.
Father Stockman has been stationed in
San Bernardino for twenty-two years, it
being his first parish. He was ordained
in Los Angeles and at once stationed iv
tin's city by the then bishop, and all his
work since has been in this parish. Bnt
its limits exteml far beyond the city or
even the county, Kiverside, San Jacinto,
Ferris and east as far as Banning was
under his authority. The parisli geo
graphically is ono of the largest in the
state. The new parish is recognized ai a
more desirable one, although whether ho
prefers tho charge only tho father knows.
Santa Barbara is a wealthier and at tbe
same time smaller parisli.
No hint as to a possible successor In
this city has been given out, but promi
nent members of the church are inclined
to believe that Bishop Mora will assign a
stranger, possibly some one from a dis
tance, to the parish, leather Stockman
goes to Santa Barbara next week.
THE BUTTON CASE.
Charles Button will again be placed 011
trial Monday for tbe murder of Gustavo
Bohni. Button was convicted of man
slaughter when the case came up for the
lirst trial, and a motion for a now trial be
ing denied, ih- matter went to the supreme
court. That body declares tbat the supe
rior court erred in some minor instruc
tions to the jury, anil ordered tho new
trial. Hence it II that Charles Button
will once more be placed on trial. ,
In August, IH'M, Button, Bohm and a
copmany of miners were in the moun
tains cast of this city. On the day the
murder was committed, all of tho mem
bers of the party had been drinking, and
tho evidence allowed that Button was
Slightly intoxicated and Bohm very
much intoxicated. A ijuarrel arose be
tween tho two, and while Bohm was iy
ing upon tbo ground, Button jumped
upon him, stamping the :prostrnte man's
faco with heavy boots, and seriously in
juring him. Button thou withdrew a
short distance to where his horse was
tied and returning a few minutes later,
Bohm assaulted him lirst with a knife,
which was at once taken away, and then
with a gun. But before he could shoot
Button, the latter lired, killing Bohm al
most instantly. It was claimed by the
attorneys that having been convicted of
manslaughter, Button was by tbat ver
dict acquitted of a graver crime, and can
bo tried for manslaughter only,
BORNE TO THK TOMB.
