Tapers in the Caso Filed in Court Yesterday Basis of Mr. Day's Complaint. New York. Feb. 27. Tho papers in the suit brought by tho Metropolitan Exhibition Company against 'William Ewing, the former catcher of the old Now York ball club, to enjoin him from playing with any other club than that of the company for tho season of 1S90, were filed in the office of the clerk of the United States Circuit Court this afternoon. They are accompanied by two affidavits, one from John B. Day and the other from superintendent Arthur II. Pell, of the Exhibition Company. Mr. Day, in his affidavit, states that Ewing had caused to be published in the newspaper that he would not render services to the complainant according to the contract for lS'JO, and that ho had engaged with a rival organization. Mr. Day says, also, that Erring told him tnat he would not comply with the terms of the contract. Mr. Day avers that Ewing has been in his service for five years now, and at this late day in tho season it would not bo possible to secure another catcher to take Swing's place; that if tho other players who contracted with the complainant carried out their threats and refused to render service ho could not get another team skillful enough to compete with the other clubs of the League, and that a large sum of money heretofore invested would be lost. Mr. Bell, in his affidavit, says that as agent of the complainant he paid Ewing $2,000 salary under the contract for tho season of lv. He appends to his affidavit a note he bent Ewing Oct. 22, lb9. notifying him of the retention of his services by the New York ball club under his contract for tho season of I!).

An Unknown Man Tries to Kill a Irominent rhysician of Columbas, 0. Alleged riot. Columhus, O., Feb. 2S. About 1 o'clock this morning a desperate attempt was made to assassinate Dr. Alex. Neil, one of theleading physicians and best known men jf this city. An unknown man called at the Doctor's residence and rang Ithe belL Tho Doctor, 6urlering from iniluenza, went to the door and asked what was wanted. The man said he wanted tho Doctor to go to attend to his sick wife. The Doctor then abked tho man his name and where he lived. The man said his name was Corbin, and that he lived on East Goodale street. The Doctor said ho was too ill to go out, but would fix him somo powders. Ho did so, and opened tho door a few inches to hand them out, when the man burst into the hall, drew his revolver, and, placing it against the Doctor's head, said: "I'll kill you," at tho same time pulling the trigger, but it failed to go olr. and the Doctor immediately grabbed tho man. After a desperate strugtclo the Doctor succeded in taking the revolver from the assassin, whereupon he ran out. The family, with tho Doctor, then went up stairs, and directly the man camo back and smashed in several windows with bowlders. The Doctor'sdaughter ran to the telephone and called up police headquarters. A patrol wagon was sent to the residence and a guard placed at the house. It is thought to bo a bold attempt at assassination or to murder the Doctor for money. Tho object was to get the Doctor out on an errand of mercy, like Dr. Cronin's case, when the unknown man, with other confederates near and in hiding, would pounce on and kill him. Dr. Noil was the attending physician of Miss Hollis. whose mysterious death has created snch a furore in Cincinnati, to which place her remains wero taken, and this attempted assassination may be connected with that uuhapp3 allair.

Will Not Leave Their Homes. Sckanton', Pa., Feb. 20. Mr. Powderly, speaking with reference to the series of articles he is writing on the condition of tho mining class in this region, said that tho first one, which was printed last week, had brought him many letters from all over tho country. A man in New Jerse3" he continued, "has written me that he will care for oue family if I will send them on. I thought I knew the family, and mado them tho oiler. With tears in their eyes tho husband and wife told me that they could not accept the generous offer. They were living in a house which they had partly paid for, and to leave it would be to sacrifice all that they had laid by during years of toil. I will have to hunt up another family. 1 also havo received letters from Illinois, several of them coming to-day, asking if tho eurplus miners cannot be sent away from here. There is plenty of work out West, they say. It is probuble that our poor people would not leave Scranton if furnished the means with which logo." Ugly Tliase or a Strike. Puxxsutawxey, Pa.. Feb. 27. The striko situation here has assumed an ugly phac. The lhillalo, Kochester aud Pittsburg Coal Company has been steadily filling tho places of the old men, until there aro now 700 new men at work, guarded by a force of about 200 police. Tho new men stay within the lines all tho time, for fearof" violence from the 1.000 men who aro out. It will be necessary for the company to keep these guards as long as the old miners remain in the vicinity, for if a crowd of "black-legs" should come in contact with the strikers there will be serious trouble.

CRUISE OF THE ENTEEPBISE

TwoTcars'Raleof an Unusually Gruel United States Naval Commander. Capt. Bowman n. McCalla Charged by His Officers and Men with a Variety of Offenses Worthy of the Most Absolute Czar. A Sailor Alleged to Have Been Cut Down with a Sword for Disorderly Conduct. Crew of a Swamped Boat Ordered to Make a Night March Through a Lonely fart of Africa and Pat in Irons for Disobeying. New York. Feb. 27. The Tribune,, tomorrow, will say: Not since the days when the brig Sommers came into the port of New York, after Captain McKenzio had hanged Spencer, tho 6on of the Secretary of the Navy, has a ehip-of-war, in time of peace, ai rived here that has been the object of so much general interest as the Enterprise, which came in yesterday, after a crnise of two years and seven months on the European station. Commander Bowman H. McCalla is her commanding officer, and this is his first command alloat. It will be a memorable one in naval history. The vessel left the navy-yard in Brooklyn with a well-selected crow and officers, picked out by Captain McCalla himself. She returned yesterday tho most unhappy ship, probably, that ever came into port. In , tho course of the cruiso desertions had been frequent, and .nearly every officer in the ward - room had been under suspension ono or many times. The life aboard the Enterprise for officers and men was described by one of her ship's company yesterday as having been one continual round of "hell." Among the incidents of the cruise which will illustrate the state of affairs on board is the following: When the ship was at Christiana a fire man named Walker got drunk, came on board, and was put in irons. Captain McCalla had him brought to the mast. When the officer of the deck questioned the man, Walker replied that he was "drunk and glad of it." Thereupon Captain McCalla ordered the officer of the deck to cut the man down with his sword. Tho officer of the deck refused. Captain McCalla, going into tho cabin, buckled on his sword, and had the man brought on deck again. Tho man was brought up in irons, and the Captain, drawing his sword, cat him down, deluging tho deck with blood, and so severely injuring tho man that the 6urgeou had to bo immediately summoned to attend to his wounds. A hasty bed of tarpaulins was rigged upon deck, and on this the man lay for some time. The members of tho crew declare that he was there for a day or two, but it is hardlj probable unless there was some good reason for it, which has not yet been mado public. When Captain McCalla makes his report to the authorities at Washington this will doubtless all be explained. At tho same port Captain McCalia piled his ship up on a defense jetty, but proved that ho was not. to blame, because he did not know of the existence of the jetty. In various ports Captain McCalla seems to have been unfortunate, among them in Dartmouth, England, whero he had a squabble with tho authorities in regard to a small bill for harbor privileges. Tho little incident of Thanksgiving day, 18S9, has received considerable attention. The facts are these: The Enterprise was lying at Gibraltar, and the men and officers expected a holiday. Instead, tho ship went oyer to the African coast and landed tho marine guard on tho beach for drill, while tho blue jackets on board amused themselves with target practice. A storm came up and a boat was sent ashore to take oft the men. The boat was capsized in the surf and washed ashore with its crew. At 7 o'clock that night, some food having been lloated ashore on a catamaran to the' men on the beach, tho captain signaled them from tho ship to march to Ceuta, tho nearest town, some fifteen miles distant. The Enterprise then set sail for Gibraltar. Lieutenant White was in charge of the marines. Liout. Kline had been in charge of the boat's crew that had been washed ashore, and being a line officer he took command. The way to Ceuta lay through an unknown country, inhabited only be roving banditti. There was no guide to be procured and the Americans had not a single round of ammunition. There were thirty-fonr men in the party and about 2,000 pieces of baggage, which they had been signaled to take with thetu. Added to this was the danger of approaching a settlement such as Ceuta in the night, for there is a large penal colony of Spaniards at that place. The two lieutenants decided to erect what shelter they could for the men and stay where they were for the night. The next morning the Enterprise proceeded to Ceuta, and not finding the men there, went back to the beach, where she found them. CaptMcCalla took the men on board, and immediately placed White and Kline under suspension. As from first to last every officer on tho ship had been under suspension, this was not considered remarkable. Another adventure of Captain McCalla was at a picnic given in the neighborhood of Algiers. At this picnic Captain McCalla gallantly offered to mount the box of the carriage of Lady Playfair and drive her down to the city, ller coachman interfered and Captain McCalla, seizing tho whip from the box, 6truck the coachman repeatedly over the face. He did mount the box of another carriage, and. filling it with four of his officers, drove at a tearing pace down to the city, the officers holding themselves ready to jump at any minute. The English coachmen of Algiers formed a league then, and when next the commander ami a party of his officers went ashoro they were set upon by the combination. Several of the officers were roughly used, but; the captain escaped without injury. The whole history of tho complaints of officers and men on board the Enterprise, and the various unusual incidents of the cruise, would till a volume. Many may bo without foundation and others rest deep in truth. When an investigation takes piaco mo wnoio truin win probably come out. WILL FIGHT TI1E PROPOSED SITE. Chicago Hotel Proprietors Do Not Want the Fair Located on the L.ake Front. Chicago, Feb. 27. Warren Leland and II. V. Bemis, owners, respectively, of tho Lelaud House and the Hotel Pichclicu, declared in interviews to-night that they would tight, tooth and nail, against the proposition to locate the world's fair on the lake front. Both tho hotels named face on the Lake park. Tho hotel proprietors argue that tho patk, notwithstanding any stipulations that might bo made, would bo lumbered permanently with whatever fair buildings were constructed, shutting out the fresh air and the view of the lake. Mr.

Bemis asserts that the railroads are using the project to cover the grabbing of a big piece of land for a depot, and that a cliquo of "boodlers" aro trying to steal in with a huge system of docks. He threatens to carry the matter to the Supreme Court, if necessary to secure tho defeat of the plan. The Victors Welcomed Home. Chicago, Teb. 27. MayorCregier.andthe other members of the Chicago world's fair committee, arrived hero from Washington this morning. They were met at South Chicago by a delegation of about two hundred citizens, who returned with them. Arrived at the depot the party formed in procession, and. headed by a band, marched to the City Hall through the streets lined with cheering people. At the City Hall a reception was held in the Council chamber. The members of the committee wero welcomed by Mr. James W. Scott, in a speech congratulating them on the success of their mission to the national capital, and Mayor Cregier replied, thanking the citizens "for their hearty reception. , BUCKEYES BEATEN. Ohio's Champion Polo Team Easily Defeated by the Muncie "Royals." Special to the Indianaiwlis Journal. Muncie, Ind., Feb. 27. To-night the Muncie "Koyal Kid" polo team defeated Ohio's champions, of Dayton, in an uninteresting game before one thousand people by the one-sided score of thirteen to one, the Buckeyes not being in the game at any stage. The tenth and eleventh goals were made by Muncie with but three players. and they started thenoxt goal with buttwo men, Beeson and Kir,k, when Dayton objected, amid howls of laughter. Da3ton's team had just returned from a Southern trip, losing but one game in Tennessee; had won the championship of Ohio from Cleveland, and then challenged the "Kids" for a game to decide the championship of Ohio and Indiana. Dayton's team was: Pease and Nipgen, rushes; Hewitt, center; Wadesworth, cover, and Mamma, goal. The "Koval Kids" were: Buchannan, Beeson, Kirk, Wolf and Widemyer, who won the championship of Indiana by defeating a half dozen teams, but one of them getting a goal. The game was played according to New England League rules, which tho Daytons claimed they were not familiar with. , The Kids, in search of a matched foe, have challenged the ehampion Bridgeport team, of the New England States League, who play here next Monday. m m BURGLAR WITH A 3IERRY LAUGH.

"Dick Turpin, Jr.," Who Is Mystifyin' n;id ' Robbing the People of Booneville, Inu. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Evansville, Ind., Feb. 27. There is wild excitement among the citizens of Booneville, twenty miles north of . here, over a mysterious house-breaker who langhs ar bolts and bars and enters anywhere ho pleases and carries off whatever suits his fancy. In the past week over fifty houses haye been entered, 'and money, jewels and goods stolen to the amount of many tho.i sands of dollars. There is no clew to the thief, except that ho is a small man with a musical laugh. At first it was thought that an organized bar.d was at work, but the methods pursued in entering a house are the same, and besides the mysterious visitant has a peculiar cipher mark which he marks on the wallorlioor. The other night a minister was aroused by a noiso at his window, and asking who was there was told that "It is me,.-', ,H.o. threatened to call a neighbor acro&i. tne street and the robber volunteered to help him, which he did in a ringing voic and then with a merry, rippling laugh ran swiftly away. Monday night the bank was entered and 6ome postage stamps secured. Offers of a reward of $500 are conspicuously displayed in store windows, but the only success they have Inftl has been a communication pasted on the bottom of one of them containing theso words, "First catch your hare Dick Turpin, jr." The local officers are at sea, and have laid several traps for the miscreant, but he breaks through all of them. It is thought probable that a professional thief-catcher will bo sent for and put on the case. m . m HOW PRESIDENT TUTTLE WAS HIT. A Wabash Student Smashed His flat rith a Cane Eight Sophomores Arrested. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Crawfokdsville, Feb. 27. Tho report sent out from here to several daily papers that President Tuttle, of Wabash College, was seriously injured in the riot of tho students, last Saturday, is not true; but it is said, by a student, that Dr. Tuttle was hit upon the head the day of the fight in the belfry. This was on Monday evening, before the street row, when a spying sophomore had sought refuge in the belfry from the freshmen. The sophomore rang the bell for help, and got more help than he desiredall the faculty, tho fire department, all tho students and a crowd of citizens. Dr. Tuttle rushed np into the hall, and was ordered back by the fiery students. He refused to right-about-face, and some skulking student smashed his hat in with a large cane. The Doctor then retired, and the students escaped. Eight members of the sophomore class, Wabash College, were arrested to-day, charged with, on last Saturday, rioting and etrikiug with clubs members of the freshmen class, who wero arrested yesterday. These sophomores refused to enter a plea of guilty, and the trial will take place next Saturday morning. The sophomores arrested are Ed W. Biederwolf, of Monticello: E. H. Evans, of Indianapolis; Wrarren The two classes seem determined that not a guilty fellow shall escape. A fund for paying fines has been started in the freshmen class. THE HASSAYAMPA DISASTER. Loss of Life Caused by a Drunken Messenger's Failure to Warn the People. Prescott, A. T., Feb. 27. Two prospectors, Moses and Robert Moore, who havo arrived from tho upper Walnut Grove dam, give tho following particulars of the lato disaster: "We came up to the Hassayampa prospecting, and passed a number of persons on the way who must inevitably have been lost. Thursday wo arrived at the dam. Friday morning the water in the dam was rising at the rate of eighteen inches an hour, with all sluices open. Superintendent Thomas Brown had fifteen men employed all day in blasting out the wasto-water-way to allow the escape of the water. Despite the immense volume which went through this pass, the water continned to rise until 9 o'clock at night, when it began to pour over the top of the dam. In tho afternoon Superintendent Brown said the dam must inevitably go, and sent a messenger to the lower dam to notify them of the danger, but he stopped at a saloon on the road, and, becoming intoxicated, failed to deliver the message. Next morning another messenger was sent, but was overtaken and drowned by the fiood just as he neared the lower camp. About midnight we wero wakened by Mr. Brown calling to his foreman: "Get up Phil; I think the dam has broken.'' Soon after there was a tremendous roar, which was indescribable, and we arose, and. looking out, saw the water rushine out of the dam. Iuside of two hours it had disappeared entirely from where it was from sixty to ninety feet deep. Francis M. Parker was one of tho men rescued from a perilous position

about daybreak. Parker and his partners had gone to bed. When he was awakened ho heard one of his partners exclaim: 'What was that!" lie (Parker) never saw them again. He was caught up by the water and was lifted to the roof of the cabin, where he clung to the rafters until the cabin, after iloating around, was driven against the bluil, where ho seized somo bushes and drew himself upon tho clitf. One man was seen to 6tart for a place of safety and, 6eeing escape was impossible, bravely turned his face to the Hood and was swept away. Another man was seen going up a steep hill and had reached a point about fifty feet above the level of the river bank, when the mighty volume of water struck and killed him. Outside towns are supplying all needed necessaries. The Journal-Miner's representative returned ato this afternoon from Walnut Grove dam. He interviewed Captain Hunt, lato of the United States army, who was on watch with Superintendent Brown when the dam gave way. Captain Hunt says that all day Friday twenty men, being all that could bo secured, were employed in blasting the waste-waterway to increase its capacity. The sigu of the break was tho snapping of a largo steel cable connecting the tower in the middle of the dam with the bank. This occasioned a loud report, and he said that it seemed as if a ball of lire was shot from it. The next instant the tower tottered, and it seemed as if the entire dam, containing U0.000 tons of rock, all moved bodily at once. The roar of the waters aud the grinding of bowlders was perfectly deafening. The messenger sent to warn those at the lower dam, and who failed to do so on acconut of becoming intoxicated, has not been seen since. The first survivors to arrive in Prescott was this afternoon, when John Hardee. Ed Davis and W. M. Russell came in, all of them being more or less bruised and skinned from climbing the steep hill among the cactus and sharp rocks to escape the llood. John Hardeo gave his experience as follows: "I was camped on Barren creek, in a tent with three others. Some time after midnight wo were awakened by a deafening roar, when I jumped out of bed and yelled at the others, "The dam has broken! Kun for

your lives.7 I reached high ground and saw the waves at least sixty feet high striko the tent and The distance between this point is about yards, and the water it was gone, the bluffs at two hundred filled this space sixty feet aeep. A huge bowlder weighing one hundred tons, in front of our tent, was swept away, and next day I went down the cut five miles in search of bodies, and saw no trace of it. Some lumber had been left on the high blufis near tho lower dam, which was notreached by water." Collins are being made of this, and then lloated down the stream to where tho bodies are found, the latter being buried where found. Thirty-seven bodies, in all. have been recovered. CHURCH AND SCHOOL. Bishop Eeane, Rector of the Catholic Unircri sity, Discusses a Current Topic. Baltimore, Md., Feb. 27. Right Rev. John J. Keane. D. D., rector of the Catholic University at Washington, delivered a lecture here to-night, under the auspices of the Catholic Association. The subject was "The American Child and the Christian School." He said: "The people of America are fully awako to the fact that the proper training of American character is the condition of American success in the future. They know how far this depends upon the influenfce of church and home, but they recognize the paramount importance of influence of the school, and that the great question of tho day and hour is: 'How can tho schools of America be fitted for tho best molding of American characterr They who believe but little in the inilaence of religion think it sufficient to appeal to tho honor of the children, to their sense of propriety and respect for the rights of others. All this is good as far as it goes, but its experience has proved that it does not go far enough. The introduction of Christianity into our schools becomes a difficulty because of the heterogeneous character of the people who come to us with all forms of creed, or of no creed, and who must all bo treated with impartial justice. Two policies, therefore, suggest themselves. The first is the compromise policy, which would so minimize Christianity in the schools as to make itacceptablo even to those who have the least Christian faith. But this policy, by minimizing the cause, must also minimize the end aimed at. The second policy would be that Christianity should be taught clearly and fully in the schools; that by the fullest use of the means the fullest attainment of the end might be secured. "In choosing between these two policies it is well to learn a lesson from what America does in regard to her political principles. People come to America from all the countries of the world, with all forms of political convictions and opinions, but America does not minimize her political principles in order to suit these conflicting views. She coerces none, but sho6tatesher principles clearly and fully, trusting to their evident truth and to tho utility of their practical workings, and the result is as sho hoped. All are convinced and embraced in her principles and we have the most homogeneous people in the world. Now if this be true as to our social principles, how can it bo false as to religious principles! No oue should be coerced into Christianity, but Christianity should bo taught in its fullness that its evidentness and its beauty may of themselves win the minds and hearts of all. Ho would havo very poor confidence in Christianity who would fear to put it to this test and he would do injustice to Christianity who would refuse it this much fair play.'7 FURSMAN CAPTURED.

AN APPEAL FB03I TILE HOUSE

Democrats Find a Pretext to Test the XgtT Rules and the Speaker's Rulings. Tho Ousting of Pendleton and Seating of At kinson, on Which the Minority Did Net Vote, to Be Taken to the Supreme Court. Mr. Springer Wants Another 0mnihu3 Bill lor the Admission of Four States. Ei-Got. Wannoth's Confirmation Agreed To Bureau of Animal Industry G. W. Holman to Be Made Bank Examiner for Indiana. WILL TKST THE NEW RULES. Sir. Pendleton, Who Was Unseated Yesterday, Will Appeal to the Courts. Special to tho IndiRrapolis Journal. Washington. Feb. 27. Mr. Pendleton, of West Virginia, who was unseated in the Houso this afternoon, by "a vote of 1H2 to 0. proposes to carry tho case to the Supreme Court, on the ground that lGd votes is a constitutional quorum, and that tho Speaker has no lawful right to count one present who was not voting. This will furnish tho test that the Democrats have been anxious to make as to the rules recently adopted by the Republicans, and the constitutionality of the rulings of Speaker Keed on this subject. When the case came np in the Houso today, the iloor was accorded to Mr. Pendleton. Ho said that he felt it his duty to speak in his own behalf, although ho knew that he was addressing a jury prejudiced against him. Ho believed that be had carried tho First district of .West Virginia by means as fair, as honorable, as upright, as had ever been used in any ' election in the history of the country. Ho reviewed the evidence in detail, controverting the statements mado by the supporters of the majority report, and, in conclusion, reiterated his declaration that ho had been fairly and honestly elected. Mr. - Cooper of Ohio closed the debate with an argument in support ot the claim of the contestant. The vote was then taken on the minority resolution, declaring, Pendleton entitled to the seat. It was defeated yeas, 142; nays, 150 a strict party vote. The vote then recurred on the majority resolution, seating Atkinson. The Democrats refrained" from voting, their object being to have tho contestant seated by lesf than a quorum, so that the question of tho right of the Speaker to count a quorum may be taken before the courts- The vote resulted: Yeas, 162; nays, 0 the Speaker counting a quorum. Mr. O'Fcrrall of Virginia raised the point of no quorum, but the Speaker ignored him; and the newly -elected member appeared at tho bar of tho House and took the oath of office, amid applause on the Republican side. . - ANOTHER OMXIISUS BILL. Mr. Springer Wants Arizona and New 2Iexlco Admitted with Wyoming and Idaho. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Feb. 27. Only two members of the House committee on Territories voted against tho bill to give statehood to Idaho. Both are, of course, Democrats. They are Springer of Illinois and Mansar of Missouri. Theso men will submit a minority report, but it will prove of no avail. Springer was the suggester of the omnibus proposition which passed the last House, and resulted in the admission of four new States, and his idea is another omnibus bill, admitting Arizona and New Mexico as a political oflset to the Republican Territories of Wyoming and Idaho. He is trying to work up sympathy in favor of this proposition, and claims that a Democratic House was willing to admit three reliublo Republican Territories upon a compromisa admitting Montana a doubtful political Territory. Mr. Springer, however, knowa as well as anybody that tho sentiment of the majority of the last House was beyond control of the Democratic leaders, and that if tho Republicans had not agreed to the omnibus bill enough Democrats would have voted with the Republicans to admit the four States upon separate and distinct bills. It was not a compromise. The Republicans, by virtue of having Democratic support upon the popular proposition to admit the four States, forced tha Democrats to what thev did. They did not do it willingly. The Democrats, it will bo remembered, insisted upon the admission of Utah, Arizona and New Mexico at the same time, but were compelled to back down by reason of their inability to muster a majority of the House. .WAR3IOTH TO BE CONFIRMED. Ex-Governor Kellogg Withdraws His Objections to the Nomination. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Feb. 27. There has been a very long and a very lively fight in tho Senate committee on commerce against tho confirmation of ex-Governor Warmoth. of Louisiana, as collector of the port of New Orleans. Tho members of the Senate committee, after hearing statements from every one interested in the case, have come to tho conclusion that the fight is purely a political ono between the two factions of tho party in Louisiana, and that Mr. Warmoth'a wing would doubtless have made a similar fight upon auy representative of the other faction that might have been nominated. There is nothing alleged against WArmoth's personal character, and ex-Governor Kellogg, who has been rather in the lead of Warmoth's opponents, has finally consented to his confirmation. Mr. Warmoth had a narrow escape in tho committee-room, the other day, while his case was tinder consideration, being seized with a fainting fit from which ho did not recover for somo hours. The physicians think that it was dno purely to nervousness. Among the confirmations announced today were the following: Chief Justice of the Burrenie Court of New Mexico, James O'Lrien, of Minnesota; Aesoci-ate-jtiRtice of the Supreme Court of Arizona. Jos.
