 If people in Phoenix do not have roses in their yards they have only themselves to blame. Yesterday evening MT. M, A.

While engaged in the pleasant pastime they improved the shining hours to ask passers-by for money.

This diet was not to their liking and this morning they solemnly promised, that if released they would journey on toward the land of the setting sun, and the ozone of the Salt River Valley would be breathed by them no more. When last seen they were making fast time on tie passes tor Maricopa.
