 The rain of last Saturday afternoon was a godsend to one poor Indian. Arthur Stoner, connected with Mel czer's wholesale liquor store, had just bought pair of new shoes. When the street in front of the store was converted icto lake, he exchanged his shoes for pair of high topped rubber boots. He put the shoes on top of barrel and went away. The Indians about Phoenix believe that whatever portable is left lying around is intended as donation to the tribe. The fact that the shoes were new did not seem to weigh with the Indian who discovered them. He picked them up, noted the size, No. 10, exam ined the brand, Burt & Packard, and seemed satisfied with the result of the investigation. He tied them together, slung them across his arm and moved on. John Duffy, also an attache of Melczer's, was a witness of the ne gotiation, but as he had not heard MT. Stcner say anything about the shoes, supposed that he might have set them out for Indians The shoes were not MT. Duffy's, anyhow; neither was the funeral.
