block and companion of Jerry. Jus tice Morris tried the case and fined Jerry $25. It seems, though, that the woman, who was drunk, commenced the assault by belaboring her lord with a buggy whip. 8

 The young electrician for the tele- phone company, Harry White, in fix ing telephone wire near the blaming mill Tuesday evening came in contact with a live wire. His screams were pitiful and if it was not for the fact ! that he had good hold of the cross piece on the pole he would have fallen to the ground.

 The park theater will reopen to- night after being for three weeks closed to the public. The opening play is ''Under the Gaslight," a thrill | ling piece in five acts. The new mem bers of the company are artists of ex- ceptional ability and will not fail to please the patrons of the resort It has been found necessary to raise the price of reserved seats trifle in order tot meet the heavy expense, but the general admission remains the same
 Another wet spell, the like of which Phoenix has just experienced, would find the city much better prepared to take care of surplus water than for merly. Owing to the very clean con- dition that gutters and ditches are now in. This is due wholly to the prompt ness of the city officials who have doubtless prevented much sickness thereby. There yet remains, how ever, several places, such as stables and filthy back yards within the city limits which are a menace to public health and will be until removed or cleaned up. A dilatory course in mat ters of this kind is dangerous and the marshal would be sustained in adopt ing measures more stringent than that of simply giving warnings.

 tatoes and couple of small children, thereby coming in handy for the nurse 1 as well. Brown is thinking of having the wonderful machine patented.
 The officers of the National Guard | and territorial officials are talking of giving the militia of the territory an encampment this fall. The encamp- ment, if held at all, will be in this city and all the companies of the ter r1tory will be present. Just where the money is to come from to hold the encampment is the question, for no appropriation has ever been made by 1 the territory for the purpose. The governor, however, has the power to order out the militia whenever he thinks it necessary, which is probably the method that will be adopted. The National Guard of this territory have never as yet had an encampment and the nearest approach to one was the trouble on the frontier when Governor Hughes ordered out several compa- nies to stop the Maher-F -Fitzsimmons fight from occurring within the boun- daries of the territory
 Henry George, F. F. Ward and wife and Miss Hawkins returned early yes terday morning from a months trip overland to the Grand canyon. The party report having a very pleasant time despite the fact that it rained on them nearly the entire time they were out. Henry George was the only un- lucky member of the party, for he nearly lost his Life on two occasions, One day while riding on the wagon and carelessly holding a loaded and cooked rifle the weapon was discharged and the ball sped upwards past his face The second accident happened at the Montezuma well, a sheet of water in the crater of an extinct volcano which is said to be bOttOmless.
