A Chance to Marry.
TPhenix Gazette

lfnenlx GaZette
 At social gatherings and balls in Jer- ome the gentlemen outnumber the Ia- dies five to one, says A. Redewill. "It is remarkable fact" he adds. "that out of 8 population of l, 800 there should be hardly more than three or four mar riageable young ladies. It is said that no sooner a young miss sets foot on Jerome soil than sine is asked in mar riage. There are in that lively town some five hundred as fresh, handsome, robust young men as coulI be found anywhere, and it is a pity that more young ladies don't go to live in Jerome, especially those wishing to enter the marriage state. Their selection of a husband would only be mere matter of time, with quite an army to select from, for there the fair ones will find young and old, slender and fat, tall and short, blonde and brunette, with golden, black or red hair, with or without mus- tache and beard some with amiable disposition, others cranky, and all hav- ing more or less money. I'll wager a piano against a months board and lodging at the Adams" concluded Mir. Redewill, "that girl going to Jerome will not remain there a fortnight in single blessedness."

BLACK JACKS BAND.
Supposed to Disbanded and
 Seeking Safety.
IProspector !

[Prospector
 Word received in Tombstone of the whereabouts of the Black Jack band is to the effect that that terrorizing band has pretty much disbanded and heve left the country.
 After the Deer Creek fight Jesse Will Hams and one other of the band whose name IS unknown, left in one direction, and neither, hide, hair or track of ei- ther of these have been heard of since, while Black Jack, whose horse was shot from under him. hid around until he could make his escape. He flocked by himself, going toward Mexico. He was traced to different ranches and fol- lowed across the line. Later he made tracks toward Nogales, where it is pre- sumed he disguised himself and board ed the N. NJ. & A. for a ride out of the country. It was known that he had considerable money, as he offered to pay for some victuals at the last ranch and was anxious of the whereabouts of his two partners, being apparently as much at sea of their location as the officers.
 The supposition that Black Jack had disguised himself and left Nogsles on the train is arrived at by different facts traced to reliable sources, all of which point to his intention of so doing, It is believed he went to San Antonio, TeNas

 A Certain young man in Atchison stood on corner last night wondering what he would do with himself to kIIl time. when he saw a crowd of thirty or more people approaching with baskets on their arms. It was a surprise party and when he fell in line and asked a pretty girl If he could carry her basket, she consented thinking that he was guest whom she had not yet met. Every one in the crowd seemed to think that some one else had invited him, and some one, finding out hIs name, intro duced him to all the others. He had the best time Tn his life.
