Y
was held persuant to call on Tuesday
evening at Esquire Cars Office. But
owing to the size of the crowd it became
necessary to adjourn to Grand Army
hall. The caucus was organized with
Esquire Carr as chairman and 7. NJ
Simonton secretary. Several speeches
werR made, notably by Clan Harmon,
Col. Foster, Alexander Moore and A.
Barto, defining the situation. Consider
able bad blood was engendered by the
preliminary proceedings, but the caucus
finally got down to its work, Col. Foster
moving that the vote be by ballot, and
that all the delegates I've voted for at one
time, the FIVE receiving the highest num-
Der of votes being declared elected. This
was a departure from the ordinary
method, the custom having been of vot-
ing for one delegate at a time. But the
motion prevailed, and the house declined
to entertain a reconsideration. There
were two tickets in the field, as follows:
Anti Gilman-A. Barto, J. c. Foster, A.
G. Jaques, ]. M. Thomson, Chas. F.
Hendryx.. Gilman-A. Moore, ]. c. Fos-
ter, NJ. Hogan, A. G. Jacques, T. Flade-
land. Tickets with the names of the Gil
man men were freely distributed, but the
other side were caught at a disadvan-
tage, they having no ballots, excepting
single names printed on slips. ballot
was taken which showed that los votes
were cast and there were 100 ballots in
the box.
At this juncture Col. Bridgeman pour
ed oil on the troubled waters. He said
it was very clear that no delegates could
be issued out of this caucus on a vote o
this character, and moved that the eau
Gus adjourn until Wednesday evening at
eight o'clock. The motion was seconded
by Col. Foster and it went through
without opposition, and the caucus dis
persed in better frame of mind than it
assembled.
The caucus reconvened at the appoint
ed time, and it was very evident that the
contest would be a close one. Two
changes had been made in the Anti-Gil-
man ticket, by the substitution of Messrs.
Bridgeman and Bruce for Foster and ia
ques. The other ticket was the same as
on the previous evening. Three judges
of election were chosen-Messrs. Wilcox,
Frank Perry and Josiah Cooper. A reg
ular ballot box was provided and list
of all the voters was made by the secre-
tary. Col. Foster and c. M. Sprague
acted as challengers. AS the voting pro-
crossed a number of challenges were in
terposed and severalvotes wereexcIuded
although not as many as should have
been. There were 155 votes cast, with
the following result:

YOUNG PEOPLES CONCERT.-The con-
cert given by the young people of the
Methodist church at the opera house last
Thursday evening scored a marked sue
cess. A large number were present and
all expressed themselves as delighted
with the entertainment The program
was perhaps trihe long but the manner

ed the possibility of its becoming tedious.
From the opening note of the overture

was all attention and applause was fire.
quent and prolonged. Miss Tue McClary
of Minneapolis, made a very favorable
impression as an clocutionist. Her pre-
sence was graceful and the wide range of
her selections proved her young lady of
more than usual versatility. Miss
Blanche Howard is always charming
and her reputation was well sustained in
the speech on THE Coming Mustache."
The duet by Mrs. Robertson and Miss
Belle Bruce was a sufficient testimony to
the fact that Sank Centre is blessed with
| high order of musical talent. Were
| any further evidence needed it would
| only be necessary to mention the chorus
singing. No concert however would be

THE ScHooL-On Monday next the
school year of 1889 will commence un-
der most favorable auspices. The board
has secured an able corps of teachers,
with Prof. w. ]. Brown at the head. He
comes to us with the best of credentials.
The indications are that the school will
not only maintain it's high standard, but
will show marked progression. Notable
changes have been made in and about
the school buildings. The primary de-
partment room has been greatly enlarged
by cutting out a partition, throwing
the entire first floor into one room. The
main building has been piped for steam
heating, with radiators in every room.
The boiler is large one of the most APP
proved pattern, and except in the coolest
weather " i'll have no perceptibfe pressure,
and then will not require more then FIVE
pounds, so that it will be seen that it alb
solutely safe. The saving in fuel, labor
and annoyance will be very marked.

READING CLUB PIcNIc.-Thursday of
last week was day pleasantly and prof
itably passed at the Ladies Reading Club
picnic at Birch Lake. The party consist
ing of members of the club, their hus-
bands and families, numbered about for
ty persons. A pleasant spot on the bank
of the lake was selected, spaces cleared
for spreading the eatables and swinging
the hammocks, after which the balance
of the forenoon was spent in boating,
fishing and other ADJUSTMENTS until dinner
was called. The feast spread beneath the
trees was an elegant one and covered an
extensive area. Beautiful cakes and pyra-
mids of fruits were heaped up in rich pro-
fusion, lastly decorated with ferns and
pond lilies. After the vigorous exercise
of the morning all were prepared to enjoy
the feast with more than ordinary zest.

A Fruitless Chase.

As stated last week, Messrs. Geo. R. Morse and W. P. Bamrick undertook to follow the trail of the two Mexicans that robbed the Casa Grande stage on Thursday. the 29th ulto. They made a thorough search but lost the trail near the river crossing where other tracks had oblitersted it. The rain on Saturday likewise made further search useless and they returned on Sunday night, with information from the Indians that the robbers had taken refuge in the black mountains across the Gila river from Sacaton.
 With commendable public spirit MT. J. H. Hull at once interviewed the business men and soon made up a purse to assist in further prosecuting the search, and on Monday morning posse consisting of Messrs. L. K. Drais, W. P. Bamrick, w. F. Miller, John Ruckelshausen, c. l.. Scribner John w. Rannells and Harry Williams started for Sacaton in E. P. Drew's team, to search the mountains for further evidence of their presence. They took saddles and all necessary accoutrements for the expedition and obtained horses at the reservation and Indian guides who were familiar with the mountains
 They visited all the caves and places of concealment in the mountains, but failed 10 hpd any trace of their recent occupation by the robbers, and they returned to town Wednesday morn ing, fully satisfied that the guilty par ties had safely reached aplace of refuge at Tempe or beyond.

Bullet Proof.

A man who arrived from Florence to-day, brings the report that while travelling along the road in the even ing he was shot at by the robber. One ball went through his hat and another through his shoulder. The holes are there to prove the story, but the hat is badly powder-burned and the ball that went through the coat was very accommodating one. It struck him fair in the shoulder and then without touching the skin it merely pierced the cloth and passed along the inside over and behind the shoulder till il reached @ place opposite to where i entered, and there it came out.-Phe nix Herald.

ApaolIes.

About the 1st of September the Governor of Sonora gave commission to Jesus Fimbrea, of Moctezuma, to march with party of five or six men, well mounted and armed to find 8 small band of Apaches who were seek ing refuge in the mountains in the eastern part of the district of Mocte- yuma. These Indians had one of their number called Jose Maria Elias AS a captain. Said Elias was acquainted with man called Santiago Duran, of Moctezuma, and had told him on sev- eral occasions that he and his Indians would surrender on condition that their lives would be spared and pro- tected and that they were disposed to work for their living. The Governor, desirous of ending their wild career has granted their request and sent this detachment out with Duran to close negotiations, accept their sur render and bring them in. At last ac- counts they had located the Indians at Satachi and were on the way to make the final arrangements. We trust they will be successful as this band comprises all the Apaches that are now unaccounted for-Record.

Heretofore, says the Examiner pro- posals for admission have been limit ed to Dakota, Montana, Washington and New Mexico. But it adds, it. IS time to consider whether we may not get rid at once of almost our whole territorial system. Arizona, Wyoming and Idaho have at least 100, 900 inhab- itants each, and they have resources which will make it certain that they will never be rotten -broughs. If all seven should be admitted there would be no disfranchised communities left in our whole country except Utah, Alaka, the Indian Territory and the District of Columbia.

He Does Not Drink.

The following story is told of Gener- al Harrison in connection with a pub- lie dinner given him on one occasion :
 "At the close of the dinner one of the gentlemen drank his health. The general pledged his toast by drinking water. Another gentlemen offered a toast and said: General, will you not favor me by taking glass of wine?' The general in a very gentle manly way begged to be excused. He was again urged to join in a glass of wine. This was too much. He rose from his seat and said in the most dignified manner:
 "Gentlemen, I have twice refused to partake of the wine-cup; I hope that will be sufficient Though you press the matter ever SO much, not a drop shall pass my lips. I made re- solve when I started in life that l would avoid strong drink. That VOW have never broken. I am one of a class of young men who graduated together. Sixteen members of my class now fill drunkards' graves. owe my health, my happiness and prosperity to that resolution."-Zion'f Herald.

The Rall.

Notwithstanding the indictment weather that was renewed near the close of very pleasant day last Thurs day, the Thanksgiving ball given by Florence Lodge No. 4, A. 0. U. w., was well attended by the youth, beauty and fashion of the place and most enjoyable time was experienced. The hall had been tastefuliy decorated by Messrs. Alex. B. Wolven and M. M. Rice, with the emblems of the order in evergreens, and various other ap- propriate designs, and everything wss so well prepared by the Committee of Arrangements that not the least incl dent occurred to mar the pleasures of evening,
 Shortly after eight o'clock platoon of Select Knights, in their brilliant uniforms, entered the hall and execut- ed some neat evolutions and went through a short dill in the sword manual, which was immediately fol- lowed by the grand march.
 It was nearly twelve o'clock when the sumptuous supper prepared by the iaules WAS annOunceu, dnu HhOsI bountiful and toothsome repast 1t sure ly was. There WAS an abundance and much to spare and none were sighted in the least.
 There was a marked spirit of cordial sociality observed among the assembl- ed multitude during the whole even ing and while all seemed to enjoy the pleasures of the affair, they each strove to add to the enjoyment of others. Many elegant toiIettes were;;displayed ! by the ladies and contributed to the elegance of the affair As & whole the popular verdict was that the ball was the most enjoyable of any occasion oi the kind ever before attempted in | Florence.

Alden,s Manifold cxelopedln

The issue of the tenth volume calls attention to the rapid progress which this popular cyclopedia is making. The publisher promised the volumes at intervels of about a month he is recently more than keeping his word The volume extends from Cosmogra- phy to Derby, contains about $40 pages and about 100 illustrations, handsomely printed and neatly bound in cloth, all for 50 cents! The Mani fold is more comprehensive than any other cyclopedia except Casselps (which costs several times as much), including an unabridged dictionary of the English language in addition to ordinary cyclopedia matter, and though many of the articles are necessarily brief, and some articles surprisingly extended-for instance, Cotton occupies 26 pages; Crannogs, S pages; Creeds and Confessions, 5 pages; Cricket, pages; Crusades, pages; Darwin and Darwinian Theory, IT pages, and so on. It would be strange indeed if cyclopedia of such great merit, published at price so surprisingly low, did not reach an enormous circulation. A specimen volume may be ordered and returned if not wanted. JOHN B. ALDEN, pub fisher, New York, Chicago, Atlanta and San Francisco.

The Stage Robber Confesses.

Henry Miller, alias Henry Brown, now held in the county jail charged with the stage robbery on Friday of last week, made full confession of guilt yesterday morning to Justice c. M. Marshall, of Casa Grande, who visited him in his cell. He says he was out of money and could find no work and he conceived the idea of rob ping the stage, inspired by the success of the California and other Arizona men of that stamp. He told where his gun and the masks were concealed and MT. Marshall intended visiting the place on his return trip to Casa Gran de. The mystery is at last cleared up and the guilty party will doubtless receive his just deserts under the ter ritorial law and the United States will likewise insure his conviction for rob- ping the mails.
