 becoming manner, and afforded good deal of amusement to the citizens attending court by theil humorous antics and singing oi plantation songs. While they had every opportrdity of indulg- ing in liquor during their stay here, in justice to the men it is but fair to state that not one case oi drunkenness was seen amongst them. They left on Sunday morn ing for their destination. Three of the companies remain at Thomas, and one goes to Apache.
 4 Imaginable incident occurred at the expense of one of the young bloods of the county seat. A modest young man" took particu- lar interest in one of the gentle men attached to the regiment, and ingratiated himself into his graces by dilating on the development of the resources of the Valley of the Rio Gila. After showing him around the burg they wound up in Paddy Cooper's liquid dispen- sary, where a lively poker game was the order of the day. Think ing this a fine opportunity to in itiate the unwary son of Mars into the mysteries of how to beat q four flush, an invitation was ex- tended to the stranger to take d hand, which was politely declined, with the information to the chaperon that such indulgence would be inconsistent with his calling, being the chaplain of the regiment
 The society folks of Solomon vile participated in a May day dance on last Friday evening, at the residence of Chris. Glennon. Miss Sallie Glennon and Miss Lillie Neese, assisted by Miss Frankie Burdick, of Stafford, acted as hOstesses, and gracefully enter tained their numerous friends from the surrounding valley. Dep uty Treasurer Voelckel and the versatile Abe Franklin acted as floor manager and master of cere- monies with becoming dignity. The delicdcy and grace with which Abe" places his right strong arm around the sylph- like waist of the modest country maiden, and glides through the bewildering intricacies of the may waltz and cotlllion, proves him a devoted adorer of the fair sex and eonnoisseur in Terpsi- chorean art. A luscious lunch was partaken of about midnight, and the merry Mayists held high revelry until the small hours of the morning. We doubt if any town of the same population in the Territory could call together on an occasion of this kind a brighter array of pretty girls, or matrons with finer or better baby girls or bouncing boys. The fol lowing ladies and gentlemen graced the occasion by their pres ence: Judge and Mrs. Hyatt, Mir. and Mrs. Hall, Mr. and Mrs. Neese, Mir. ard Mrs. McClintock, Mesdames Reardon, Dowdle, Tut tie, Ijams, Misses Kittie Futile, Lucy Futile, Sallie Glennon, Lillie Neese, Allie Hunter, Ina Freeman, Tillie Anderson, Ida Moore, Frankie Burdick, Alessrs.

 Judge Bolan has his hands fall this term of court, as can be per ceived by the large criminal docket, but Pete can wade through more legal business than any other attorney iH the Territory. Not having any deputy attached to his office, he can be found night and day getting his cases into posi- ton, and the erring members of society may expect a severe casti- gatlon and speedy conviction.
 Owing to illness Tn his family, Judge Fitzgerald is not expected to arrive in time to open court on It is thought he will reach here Monday.
 The infant son of the Hon. Geo. H. Stephens died on May 1st.
