Imperfect Highway Nearly Caused the
Death of Napoleon RoberGe..
Napoleon Roberge of 42 Garfield street
met with serious accident last evening,
S,ear the corner of Garfield street and
Hedley avenue, whereby he came very
near losing his life. The accident hap
pened near the Garfield street schoolhouse,
and was caused by dangerous place in
the highway. The attention of the High
way Department and the Board Of Public
Works has been called to that locality re-
peatcdly, but for some unknown reason no
attention has been paid TO Il, and the place
has become direct menance to life and
limb.
Last evening Mr.. Roberge was on the
way to put his horse and team In his barn,
and while driving along the highway at
that particular place his horse stepped in
q hole, causing Mr.. Roberge to pitch for
ward out of the team The horse was GO

SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS

Have Been Hanging About the Residence
of ex-Goy. LittIefield.
Three suspicious looking and suspicious
acting characters have been hanging about
the residence OF ex-Gov. Littlefield and
other houses in that neighborhood for the
past few days. Word was telephoned to
police headquarters early last evening that
two Of the men had made their appear
ance, and were acting in a suspicious
manner. Sergt. Louks and Officer Coombs
went to the scene to investigate the affair.
When the officers arrived there the two
men had separated. When they saw Of
fees Coombs in uniform they made break
by common impulse for DIR. Mann's Office.
The officers went into a nearby yard and
awaited developments. The men remained
quite little while in the office, where
they faxed up story that one of them had
a swollen foot and suffered great pain
from it. DR.. Mann, however, could see
nothing the matter with the foot, and re-
fused to treat the case. This pretense was
simply a blind to throw the officers of
their guard.
Coming out of the house the men, think
ing the field clear, commenced to hold a
long consultation, in the midst of which
Sergeant Louks and Officer Cooms walked
up and placed them under arrest. At the
station the men could not give an account
of themselves, and told so many different
stories that the sergeant felt justified in
placing them behind the bars. They gave
the names of William Hunter and Edward
Phillips. A bottle of whiskey, nearly full,
was found upon one OF the young men.

rendered Mr.. Roberge partially uncon-
scious for q short time. When he was
sufYiciently recovered to comprehend what
had occurred he CROPPED about in the dark
ness and found that the horses head and
forelegs were In the hole, the rest of the
animal remaining on terra hrma. Mr.
Roberge, owing to the injuries he received,
was unable to extricate the horse from his
position, so he started for assistance.
His cries were answered by small boy
who when apprised of the facts went in
search of assistance. A couple of young
men responded to the call and assisted Mr.
Roberge In extricating the horse from the
hole. When matters were Strengthened
out Il was found that the horse was badly
cut and bruised, and 1t is a question
whether or not he is permanently injured.
Mr.. Roberge placed the horse in the barn,
and went and reported the case to Mr..
Ponton, Assistant Superintendent OF the
highway department. 1t might be well to
state that at the time of the accident there
was no danger signal to warn people to be
on their guard.
Immediately after the accident five Ian
terms were placed in the immediate vicin-
ity. II would be well, however, and
might have saved the sity a good round
sum II the lanterns had been placed in
position before the accident had occurred.
Mr.. Roberge is quite lame this morning
after his experience last evening, in fact,
at the present writing he is under ply
sician's care. Those who saw the circum-
stances Of the case Immediately after the
accident were loud in their condemnation
of the carelessness displayed by the high
way department. A suit for damages, no
doubt, will be the outcome of the affair.

RICHARD FAIRFIELD DEAD.

a Prominent Resident of the West Side
Has Passed Away.
The announcement of the death of Rich
ard Fairfield OF Cleveland street came in
the nature of great surprise to his many

city, and by upright life, honest dealing
with HE fellow men and the faculty OF
greeting his neighbors and acquaintance
with q warm pressure of the hand had
attained their respect, which lasted until
death claimed him as its own. Six chill
dren, three girls and three boys, remain to
regret the loss of kind parent.
The funeral will take place Thursday
morning from the family homestead on
Cleveland street, and will, no doubt, be
large one. Services will be held at Holy

THE RECEPTION.
The Congregation Welcomes the
Bishop and Mrs. Graves.

The reception given TO Bishop Graves
and his wife last evening at the church
was well attended and there was a very
peTceptible lack of the stiffness and re-
straint usually accompanying such af-
fairs. The ice was soon broken and the
assembly, after being presented to the
Bishop and Mrs. Graves, drifted off into
little groups and sociability was the
order of the evening.
The basement was Drofusely and
tastefully decorated with palms, dra-
caena, bamboos, ferns and flowers, pre-
senting a pleasing picture. An excel
lent musical programme had been ar
ranged, which was opened by fine
vocal duet between Misses Pearl jack
son and Edna Smith, which was We'll
appreciated. Vocal solos were also given
by Miss Dora TAILOR, Miss Hattie
Wheat, Miss Ida Clinch. Mrs. B. f.
Howard and Mr.. Owens, each one eX-
cellent in it's way and evoking hearty
applause, the music and execution being
ef a higher order than ordinarily. Re
freshmentS We're then served and the
assembly broke up about IL o'clock.
1t was the first opportunity the con-
gregation had enjoyed of becoming ac-
quainted with the Bishop and his wife,
and the favorable impression both OF
them made upon those who met them
will undoubtedly aid much in promoting
the Bishops usefulness in this portion
of the diocese.

IROQUOIS IN A NEW ROLE.
THEIR RECEPTION LAST NIGHT
TO THE LADIES.
Decked in Their War Paint, They
Initiate Their Trembling
Neophytes.

The Ladies Night at the Iroquois
Club last evening was pronounced sue
cess and will doubtless be the precursor
of other and similar ones.
The reception was given in recognition
of the services of the ladies in assisting
at the reception of William j. Bryan last
July. The hall was tastefully decorated
with palms and potted plants and the
national colOrS and presented very at
tractive appearance.
The programme for the evening
opened with an address of welcome by
Sachem Z. l. Woodman, in which he
testified to the clubs appreciation of the
ladies' effort last July. A vocal duet be-
tween Miss Clinch and Mr.. Lester follow
ed, which was received with hearty ap-
plause. A vocal solo by Charles Brier
came next and was followed by a vocal
solo by Mrs Longbotton. Max Pepper
of San Francisco, Grand Sachem OF the
Iroquois Clubs Of the State. made an
address explaining the objects and pur-
poses of the Irocuois Club.
Then followed a blood curdling scene.
Sixteen braves in full panoply and in
their war paint, with tomahaWk and
scalping knife and with more ear-spllt-
ting war whooDs than ever Leather
stocking listened to, pounced upon the
three victims who had been selected for
initiation and put them through the full
ceremonies of the ordeal to which they
must submit before being admitted
among the braves. The candidates es-
caped with their lives there being only
one Martyr among them, his name being
Robert. The others We're Judge f. A.
Bridgeford and Captain t. w. Forsman.
It was the first time the new regalla OF
the club had been used and the Arizona
frontiersmen who have unfiinchingly
met the Apaches would have turned pale
at the fierce ASPECT presented by the
Iroquois braves.
The ladies. however. showed true
American pluck and not one tainted, or
even screamed. After the initiation was
over, refreshments were served and
after they were partaken of it proved
that the ordeal of the candidates was
not over. for each in turn was called
on to relate the feelings he experienced
while being initiated.
