 The town of Flagstaff was ineor- porated ou Saturday evening. The beard of supervisors appointed five councilmen who will elect one of their number as mayor of the city and president of the council.

 4 fire alarm was sonaded just after 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The fire was in an old shed of Mrs. Burton's, in East Prescott. The Dudes hose company and the Hook and Ladder company pulled their machines up the hill, only to find the foreman of the Mob Hill com pany, surrounded by his members, watching the glowing em5ers of the ruined shed. The Nub Killers didn't take their cart out. as the foreman wisely saw from the st"rt that it was hopeless case. They will claim the record, however.
 Judge J. J. Hawkins was called on to-day to hear and pass upon pe- tition for an injunction to restrain the board of supervisors of Coco nino county from erecting a court house. The petition is gotten up by the taxpayers of the county who | claim that the county is already overburdened with taxation, the rate being 3.l5 per cent. The taxable property last year amounted to about S2, 100000, while the indebted ness is about $l50,00O, or far above the limit allowed by the Harrison act. Conservative taxpayers of the county think that it is better for them to pay nominal rental of 800 per year rather than to burden themselves with additional debt or taxation. Messrs. Herndon & Norris represent the petitioners, while Dis trict Attorney Zuck, E. $. Clark and E. M. Doe represent the beard of supervisors. The case has excited considerable interest in the towns of Williams and Flagstaff.
