Those Holy Numbers.

Relying upon the power of brother
and sister Beck, the colored musical
Salvationists from Los Angeles, to more
than fill the tent, Gardeners hall was
secured by the army last night. The
music of the songs of Mr.. and Mrs.
Beck is of the southern plantation
variety set to appropriate words. They
are sung in true old fashioned southern
style with all the deep feeling, facial
expression and rythmical motion which
is peculiar to the colored race. The
numbers of Orpheus which raised a
shade from hell or those OF bright
Cecilia which lifted souls to heaven,
pale into insignifcance when compared
to the orotund rendition of Johns holy
number by Mr.. and Mrs. Beck. To
night at Gardeners hall they will sing
plantation songs until II O'Clock. The
services will be led as usual by the cap
tain whose irresistible grace and capti.
waiting earnestness has been such q
power for good in Phenix.

John Reilly, Hobo, the Hero of a
Series of Adventures.
John Reilly, hobo, had more differ
ent kinds of experiences in three min
utes yesterday morning than any man

he got into Jail and felt an assurance
that nothing else could happen to him
Immediately.
Mr.. Reilly begged ten cents OF a

declined to enter into negotiations look
ing to the effeeting of the loan. Mr..
Reilly became abusive and the strangers g
right arm shot out and the hobo fell
heavily on the sidewalk. When he
was able to stagger to his feet, P. Minor,
who had been witness of the proceed
ings, made an attempt to arrest him.
Reilly ran rapidly but recklessly in the
direction of the city hall. He was
headed straight for the fountain, but
never saw it until he came in contact
with its huge bowl. His momentum
carried him over the side and the next

IN which he was charged by R. E.
Daggs with having embazzled $1,07l,
the proceeds Of a consignment OF wool.
This case, however, was dismissed
and the former was reopened for the
purpose OF showing that r. E. Daggs,
one of the witnesses for the territory
who testified that he had paid for Mr..
Goodman two checks drawn upon the
Bank of Tempe, was not at Tempe at
that time.
After noon the arguments began and
were opened by District Attorney Mil
lay. He arrayed the evidence in a
comprehensive manner and with con-
sideration for the feelings of the defen-
dant, and when he closed there was an
impression that a strong case had been
made out.
Judge Campbell, for the defense,
brought his usual eloquence into play
and directed his usual sarcastic wit
against the prosecuting witness, A. j.
Daggs, whom he accused of having
moved into the territory without
authority from Col. Fitch. P. P. Daggs
also came in for the speakers com.

the Bank of Tempe, as disclosed by the
evidence in the embezzlement case
were paraded before the audience.

His address was as pleasant as an aftel

everybody, even the enemy feel good and
so wrought upon at one time was Dis

prayer for the colone's safe journey te

was submitted. There was nothing
sensational. nothing very bitter and the
