deniZens Of Main street were consider
ably excited On Monday afternoon last
by hearing asyell and seeing long
legged individual in hot pursuit Of little
wee banty-legged fellow. The small
sized individual found just about
that time that it was necessary to
take some medicine, and accordingly
darted into a drug store, thus saving
himself from entire humiliation. On
inquiry al TO the cause OF the disturb
anoe We found that the small fellow, who
has charge of clothing store, claimed
that the tall one owed the sum of three
dollars, and had sent several dunning
letters in regard to it to the tall party,
winding up with the remark that if the
said sum was not paid the next time
the tall man appeared in Phoebe he (the
tall NAM would "see some fun" The
tone of the letter did not exactly suit the
tall gent, in fact it made him choleric,
although generally of shave nature, 80
meeting tina storekeeper on Monday on
visit to Phoebe he asked an explana-
ton. This was accorded to him by de-
mand for the amount OF the bill, with
the addition that be was O swindler if he
did not settle such small amount. This
aroused the ire of the tall gent, who,
throwing out his right bower" in the
most approved style, countersd on his
opponent, and sent him to grass. On
recovering he fled in the manner de-
scribed at first; however, leaving behind
words implying that the aforesaid tall
man had something to do with female
canine" The District Attorney was
sought ly the outraged clothier and a
complaint lodged against the offender;
but upon second thoughts, and second
thoughts being always best you know,
he withdrew the charge.
Assessor NoTGs.-We learn from the
County Assessor, who is now busily en-
gagged in assessing the town Of Phoebe,
that the personal property assessed this
year in Phoebe will be 60 per cent. less
than it was a year ago. This is owing
to the merchants having such small
stocks of merchandise on hand and to
the large removal of personal property
TO Silver Reef, Ward and other camps.
The assessing of Main street will be the
last portion Of the town, and will proba.
bly, be finished up in abou. week.
