 lOn's Fair-Sails on the Arizona Fire Department Field Day-Demo-

lOh>D rdAE>E0AAW oA LAo <AAAAoAA~" Fire Department Field Day-Deme- crats to Caucus-ContractorL Lane. There was exciting little episode at the Wal lingford hotel yesterday morning in which Frank Mulcahy, the news-gatherer of the local paper, formed principal figure. There were severa.. persons present in the office, and one of the number was guying Mulcahy in joking man. ner, when the juvenile representative of the Times took offence and in a desperate manner drew revolver from his hip pocket, but before he had chance to do any harm Harry Clark the agile clerk, made spring over the counter and was on Mulcahy's neck in an instant and wrested the weapon from his grasp. The outcome of the affair is that Mucahy has lost his position on the local paper and for fear that there would fol- low legal proceedings against him he took the afternoon train out of town, and it is probable that he will make up his mind that his efforts were not appreciated in Wallingford and choose other fields for his reportorial labors.
