WANTED A GAME
To Twill the Ivory Ball With a
SCrap-iron Bank.

To Twirl the Ivory Ball With a
Scrap-iron Bank.
A young man from the back woods of
the east made his appearance in the
city few days ago, and since viewing
the tall stacks of gold and silver that
are displayed in the cash drawer of the
faro banks, or stacked on Monte Carlos
favorite game, he has had but one am
bition, to run game and assist in
gathering in the golden coin.
He was given an opening on Sunday
evening to display his ability and for
an hour held the position OF floor
walker at the Reception. During that
time he detected several dealers and
men who were running games for
others, holding out, in fact they did
hold out to encourage the novice and
swell his Uranium with the idea that he
was useful man.
Later in the evening he was informed
that the idle roulette wheel might be
started if he thought he could run it
and at the same time keep a general
lookout over the other games. He pre-
pared the table and the wheel was pot
in place while men crowded around
with handfuls of money, ready to give
the new game play.
Presently he told the proprietor, who
was to furnish the sack that all was
ready and a bag we'll filled was taken
from the safe and carefully passed to the
greenhorn who carried it to the wheel
and prepared to stack up the coin. De-
liberately he united the big sack and,
when tens were being placed on single
numbers one asked the limit but
the fellow had evidently decided to be a
thoroughbred as he simply raised his
eyes to the ceiling. He now caught the
sack by the bottom corners and pro-
ceeded to empty its contents on the
table, but look of disgust spread over
his face as out rolled twenty-five pounds
of old washers, nuts, and various pieces
of scrap-iron but not shining dollar.

THE CITY FATHERS.
They Meet and Transact Routine
Business.

Business.
The regular monthly meeting of the
common council of the city of Phoenix
was held at the mayors Office last even
ing, and but little was done outside of
the routine work of auditing regular
monthly bills and receiving reports
from t he various departments OF the
city government.
Mrs. Isabella Horner presented a
prayer for the changing of the ditch
near her property on Sixth and Van
Buren, streets where it is an incon-
venience. The estimated cost of the
change together with putting in a new
bridge at the crossing of these streets is
estimated at $50, and Mre. Horner offers
to contribute $50 toward the work. 1t
was referred to the street committee.
The city recorder reported that he
had received notice from the women
living in the cottage opposite the city
hall on Jefferson street that business
was dull owing to the fact of strict city
ordinances and the rigid enforcement of
the Ed nunds act and they proposed to
move out. The recorder not only gave
his consent but in lieu of this good reso-
luton offered to remit the fines OF two
months of the dove-cote when ever they
moved.
There were present Councilmen
Chapman, Lacey, Goldberg and Nc
Nell-absent, the Mayor.

Happenings Around the Office of
the CitV RACOrdar

Happenings Around the Office of
the City Recorder.
Robert Flood, a gentleman of Hlber-
MAN birth, was assessed on Sunday
morning at O'Clock q. M, for carrying
and displaying concealed weapons.
Bob Flood is native of the city of
Dublin, but has for some little time
been in the territory. engaged in min
ing pursuits. He acquired notoriety re-
Gently by whipping one OF the "queens
OF the red-lights," and later on, the
night of the circus, he was arrested for
carrying and attempting to use pistol,
for which he was fined $l2, under an
as sumed name.
Late on Saturday night he made
$40 investment by which he was to OBJ
tain at least social companion until
the dawn of day, but owing to his in.
ebriated condition he was left in the
position of the deluded snipe hunter,
holding the sack. He swore vengeance
against the man whom be supposed had
superseded him, and to emphasize the
fact he paraded the streets with evident
slaughter, if not murder in his mind.
Deputy Marshal Jas. Blankenship took
him in from the chilly atmosphere, and
upon giving an approved bond he was
allowed to run at large until yesterday,
when he was fined $50 for the escapade.
When arrested he had a draft on the
bank of London for e100 and his friends
say he receives regular annuity from
the Emerald Isle, but be that as it may
he has for some time, been engaged in
mining in this territory and aside from
the fact of heavy drinking he seems to
be all right.
Francisco Del Rea was before the re-
corder and had his case for being drunk
and disorderly set for Monday, Novem-
Der s, 1898.
A man whose name is withheld was
fined S. yesterday under the cognomen
of John Sausage.

Things Worth Remembering.

qy When you feel a kind Of goneness
about the stomach it is sign that your
food does not sit we'll and that you are
about to have fit of Indigestion.
When you begin to feel nervous and
are unable to sit still comfortably
when your clothes suddenly seem to
lose their fit and become too tight in
places the fit of indigestion is surely
upon you.
When this fit OF indigestion is re.
peated from day to day it finally re.
solyes itself into dyspepsia.
(, Remember that three to ten oil
Brandreth's Pills will cure the worst
case of Indigestion or dyspepsia, or
both, and that regular course Of them.
say two every night for week or ten
days, will act as preventive of either
complaint.

STRANGE ATTACtlMENT.
Left Alone in the Cold World, but Kind
Friends Gene to the Rescue.


DR.. SoLoMAN WELLS awoke one
morning not long since to find that,
during the night, an increase Of SIX
handsome puppies and one fine call
all malcs-had been added to his
assets under the head Of live stock.
All went well for few days, but ere
the fond mother of the six promising
Young CANNES saw them open their
ewes to the light of day. the black
winged angel Of death ruthless y
snatchcd asunder the cord that bound
her to earth and six little orphans
were left to the kicks and cuffs Of an
unrriendlv world. However, Father
Time took in the situation and took
compassion ON five of them by cutting
them down with that old Walden
grass blade that he always carries
about his person, regardless o. all
state or corporation laws affecting
the CARRYING of dangerous weapons.
Thus the little fellows were taken
away before they arrived at the age
OF maturity or before theY had ac-
ouircd a taste for mountain sheep,
and are now baSEiug in the bright
sunlight or knawins on choice bones
alongside Of their departed mother
under the shade of the widc-sprcad-
ing boughs of some weeping willow
in dog heaven. But Old Time saw a
future for one OF the little fellows
and left him alone in the world-no
fond mother to mend his little pants
or to administer paregoric when he
awakes the natives at midnight howl
ing with wrcnching pains in his little
stomach no one to loddlc him up
and down and say, "yese, he was a
itty wootsy -tootsy;" alone, all alone;
NO father thathe knows Of to regulate
his habits or warn him against Big
Stone Gap dog ordinances. But as
forescen by Old Time, there was a
future for the little fellow. A neigh
Dor of Mr.. Wells, shortly after the
demise of the five little brothers,
dropped in and requested that the
remaining little one be turned over to
his care. After promise to give hlm
q tirst-class d-fcld education and a
couple of horses and all the saddles
and brides he wanted when he ar
rived at the age Of twenty-one, he
was allowed to carry him off home.
! This neighbor owned cat that was
the mother of five young "catusses. :
Four of them were taken away from
her and the City pupsy-wupsy was
given her instead She took great
interest in her new charge from the
very start, fondling and working with
him the same as if he were her own
"child," and supplies him with milk
and nourishment just the same as
she does her own ''itty kitsy-wltsy. s
This is rather a strange attachment,
but it is fact, and the puppy bids
fair to become leader of pups and
dog among dogs.
p. S.-We neglected to state that
Mr.. Wells COW and calf and the
calf's father are doing rs well as
could be expected,
