The Arizona champion., 1885-08-29

| MIS. A. C. ray, anu nSf DlothSi La' took their departure on Tuesday eve ming tor Los Angeles, Gala, where they go to reside. The many friends of Mrs. Henry will regret her depar- ture from Flagstaff for good, and the merry ring of Eds familiar voice will be greatly missed by those friends who knew him best.
 Dr. Pentland, first class dentist from Prescott, is in town, and will remain for few days only. The Doctor comes we'll recommended, and intends to make regular visits to this place. His prices, we are informed, are much less than those usually charged in this country, and parties needing his services should call at once at the Flagstaff Hotel.
 Col. Reed, of .he HeyaM, was in Flagstaff Tuesday night, Good thing for the Col. that the managers of the church festival were ignorant of his presence here or they would have had him at the necktie party in female attire. One-half cent per pound was the tax levIed on the gentleman for the weight of the lady his neck,ie called for. Just think what "lift" the Col. would be if ropped into a scheme of that kind.
 On Tuesday morning of this week we received a pleasant call from Mir, D. s. Russell, we'll known rancher of Belmont. He presented the CHAM PIoN with two very large heads ot ex- cellent lettuce, which he raises in abundance, as we'll as numerous other vegetables. Mir. Russell also left with us several fine looking heads of wheat and barley, of which he has a number of acres nearly ready for the cradle. The grain is of unusual large size and we'll developed.
 Mr. ]. w. Sullivan, of Prescott, Arizona, paid this office pleasant visit yesterday. This gentleman, in connection with Mir. Wm. Garland, has just shipped from Ash Fork to Mulvene's ranch in Wabaunsee coun. ty, Kansas, Goo feeding steers and ex- poets 300 more to arrive this week. He reports that A. B. Matthews, of Kansas City had, within day or two, purchased ia Arizona, r,4oo steers of the same class for his ranch near Kin. ley, Kansas.-Wilcox Stcckman.
 The rains of last week have been followed nearly every morning since by light frosts. and it would seem that the back bone of summer had been severely trampled on and brok, en by old boy "Jack." In a few days more the last springs banished ulster will be'"dug up" and pressed into service, and the young man of indifferent occupation and the festive "tin horn," who have been studying astronomy and "playing the queen to win" during the cheated term," will be brought to realizing sense of the majesty(O of their situation.
 Bishop Dunlop, of New Mexico, stopped off in Flagstaff Thursday night, on his way to Prescott, where he holds services Sunday, tomorrow. Quite large representation of our people gathered at the school house to listen to the good words the Bishop had to say, and indeed his discourse was great treat to Flagstaff people. His talk was most interesting and in structive, portraying in eloquent Ian guage the grandeur of the character of Paul and other scripture writers, and his sermon was full of history, ard love and reverence for the one great book, the Holy Bible.
 Among the old characters who were residents of this camp in early days, none were better known than a little curley headed waiter, who went by the name of "Shorty." Now comes we'll authenticated report that the first victim in the recent Apache raid through New Mexico, was Shorty" who was surprised and killed in the Black Range, near Silver City.-Tombstone Record-Epitaph.
 That "well authenticated" report is anything but true. We were one of the early pioneers of Tombstone, and remember "Shor,y" we'll. He has been a resident of Flagstaff for the past two months, and is about as healthy looking corpse as we ever saw.
