The train from the East, via the
Southern Route, was FIVE hours late at
Casa Grande last night, consequently
we did not receive the passenger list.
We did not learn the cause Of the de-
tention.
1t was rumored on the streets yester-
day that Mr.. 1. W. Hellman, President
Of the Farmers and Merchants Band,
had purchased the Briswalter property
ON the east side of Main street. near
First street. We hope that Dame
Rumor, for once, has been correct, as
the unsightly shanties that now cumber
that property would then soon be re.
placed by edifices suited to the locality
and the growing Importance Of our city.
By notice elsewhere it will be seen
that Messrs Joe Bayer and Frank R.
Day have formed Co partnership in the
wholesale and retail wine and liquor
business. They have secured the ware
rooms formerly occupied by the late Alex
Mckenzie, where they will open in few
days with fine stock Of imported wines,
liquors and cigars and the best brands Of
WHISTLES. Both gentlemen are wei
known and popular with our citizens and
we predict for them successful business
career.
Mr.. Charley Wood, Of Wood &
Osborne, informs us that he is negotiat-
ing with the management to secure the
world famous vokes Family, who open
at the California Theater, San Francisco,
next Monday night, for season Of
three nights in this city. We trust Mr..
Wood may be successful. as our citizens
would then have an opportunity Of see.
ing the most entrancingly captivating
combination of thorough artists in their
specislties that has ever appeared in the
United States.
On dit that it is the intention of Mr..
r. J. Baldwin, during the coming season,
to replace the building adjoining Mrs.
Joncs's block on Spring street by an i'm
posing four-story ediRce. tits to be toped
that Mr.. Baldwin will include an opera
house in the proposed Improvement.
The location is central and tho ground
suitable in every other respect for such
purpose. Aside from the necessity that
exists for theatre or other commodious
place where entertainments could be
given, we think the investment would
yield handsome return.
Mr.. H. J. Woollacott has received a
letter from Mrs. Margaret Gibbs. of Vic
toria, British Columbia, announcing the
feet that she is the only sister of the late
Alexander Mckenzie, and furnishes doc
umentary evidence Of the fact. She also
sent to Mr.. Woollacott power OF attor-
ney to attend to her interest as the direct
heir Of Mr.. Mckenzie to the estate left
by him. We learn by private sources
that Mrs. Gibbs is very worthy woman,
who works hard for the support of her.
self and two children, and to whom the
property Of her late brother will be
very desirable help.
In Justice Ling's Court yesterday
Camille Fornasero was examined on the
charge Of assault with deadly weapon,
on complaint Of John Williams. and was
held in $1,000 bail for trial before the
Superior Court. Williams was then ex-
amined on counter complaint, filed by
Fornasero. and discharged, the evidence
being insufficient to hold him. Williams
will be tried at P. N. to-day on q
charge Of simple battery. The much.
mixed difficulty grew out of game of
hand-ball during which, II is alleged,
Williams struck Fornasero. The latter
retaliated with knife. cutting Williams
on the hand and arms, INJECTING several
slight flesh wounds. The parties evil
dently meant business. as not word
was exchanged during the course of the
melee after the first blow was struck.
