TEMPE, Ariz.. March 30.-Right Rev.
Bishop Rourgade is in the city, guest
OF Winchester Miller. The Mexican
population from near and far have flock
ed to this place to attend mass, have
children baptized, to get married, con-
Tess, etc.
Winchester Miller is engaged in asses
sing this precinct, having been appoint
ed deputy by Assessor Orme. Owing
to instructions received from the super
visors by which the value OF real estate
has been considerably increased, he has
TO listen TO words not to be found in
Lord Chestertiold's manuel, but old
Winchester is equal to the occasion.
Scorpions are getting quite lively late
ly. Four children were bitten by these
pests tuesday, but only little pain, nc
harm resulted. Therefore scorpion bites
don't amount to anything.
Nicholas Zubrod, our popular shoe
maker, well known in Phoenix, having
been a candidate for mayor of your city
about seven years ago, was married to
his wife according to the rites OF the
Catholic church by Rt. Rev. Bishop
Bourgade Wednesday morning.
Zubrod married the lady in your city
seven or eight years ago, the marriage
ceremony being performed by Judge
Morris. Don Nicholas is a strict Catho-
lie, in fact one OF the strictest OF the
strict, and the fact that the wife OF his
bosom, was, in his opinion, hereto,
was wormwood to his soul.
As an interesting event is shortly ex'
pected in the Lubrod residence, and the
idea OF his child, gender as yet I'M
known, having hereto mother, was
narrowing to him, he persuaded the
partner of his joys and sorrows, to
enter the folds OF the Catholic church.
According Mrs. LubroG was duly
baptised Tuesday evening and received
as a member OF the Church Of Rome.
Early Wednesday evening the battle
scared veteran, arrayed in the uniform
OF the G.. A. X. and his becomingly
attired wife (bride) marched up the
aisle in the Catholic church to pledge
their VOWS and to be united for life with
chains which only death can break.
The blushing bride passed through the
trying ordeal creditably, the groom
however, who so often had barred his
breas. to shot and shell on the bloody
field of Bull Run and other hard con.
tested fields, displayed considerable
trepidation. The happy couple were
warmly congratulated on returning
from church by their many friends. Let
us hope that prosperity will be- theirs
and sweet harmony reign now in their
family circle.
Emil Hirsh, the popular representa-
tive OF Rothschild Bros, dealers in
hats etc., is at Gregory's.
We are sorry to learn that Mr.. ]. A.
Plattner, cur popular saddler coutem-
plates to remove to Phoenix. AS his
family resides there, having cosy
home, he is tired OF going it alone mere.
We cannot blame him.
