 Mrs. Fora Morgan made ninety four,boys happy on the Ith of July as HorriblAs and horrible enough they were from fairies to devils, and she had only eleven days in which to design and execute the costumes. She really deserves great credit for the finest exhibit of horribles ever witnessed in Prescott, notwithstand- ing several disapp0intments. The boys enjoyed themselves immensely on the plaza in their gay and youth ful frohcS on such an occasion and finished the great American Inde- pendeuce day of 1893 with lemonade and cake at the Villa Fora"
 Miller, the driver of the Castle Creek stage when it was robbed about two weeks ago, and who is suspected of being the robber, has been arrested in Flagstaff It seems that the particular spot designated by Miller as being the scene of the robbery, is in this county, hence a deputy sheriff has gone after Miller. Miller. was entrusted with some money to deliver to a certain party along the route. If it should turn out that he is really the robber, it ] will be difficult to determine where 1 he ceased to be a common carrier l and became a thief. If he decided l before reaching the county line to l the money, the act of | robbery was committed in Maricopa l county, and the suggestion is offered | that he be returned to that county l for trial.
 An officer at Whipple Barracks l was troubled recently by a skunk I taking refuge under his house. Hav- ! ing two or three boys, he offered a premium of 500 for the capture of l { he offensive little animal. It was l only the question of a day when the boys succeeded in catching him in trap, and. claiming the bounty, it | was paid cheerfully and promptly to 1 them. After the lapse of day or two, paterfamilias discovered that ] the nuisance had not been abated, ! and concluded that the animal cap ! tured had a mate beneath the house | and probably whole family. Sum monlng the youthful scions of the | family. he addressed them briefly, | thus: Boys. there are more skunks ! under the house. X dollar apiece l for every on1 caught" The boys | again set their traps, and within a few days, had $l3O0 to their credit | in the family treasury, having cap | tured that number of animals.
