 made of what may be called a d.alectic contesl. There are plenty of men
 ands women in Phoenix who can take ! off, almost any broken English dia- 1 1ect. The novelty of such an enter i tlainment would draw, to say nothing
 of the possibilities of fun offered.
 The river rose gradually yesterday, 1 but all fear of damaging freShet passed away. The only inconvenie nc : | likely to result will be the closing
 of dhe duck and quail hun,ing grounds
 on tihe other side of the river, to l Phoenix spoI,tSmen. Several expsdi- l tiOnS were postponed yestlUday. l Hunters LOW can find no good shooting grounds within a. radius of nine miles

 | Jose Maria Rodriguez was arrested l by Officer Porterie yesterday after npCn for a murderOus assault the night
 before on Trinidad Montoya, wc-
 man of the blOck. He made a slash i at her with a razor and just missed. He was prevented by bys l1nders from 1 repeating the effort Rodriguez is a young man, but an old offender, and 1 has served more terms in the count v i and city ja.ls than any other tax

 1 One may give offense in even the 1 soft and melli1uous language of Gas i tile. There is Pedro Salazar, editor 1 of Ell Observation, who had another | fight yesterday on account of a stHic- ture which appeared in his last issue l against a coun,ryman. As usual l Senor Salazar came oul on top, not
 wdthsta nding the person criticized was
 much bigger man. It was pitched
 and agreed upon battle and took place
 near the M. & P. depot There was
 some delay about the beginning, be
 cause the aggrieved person insisted
 on decorating himself with a six
 shooter. He was induced to leave of i his adornment and the debate began.
 It was stubborn and Senor SalazaT
 won, but he emerged panEing and
 sweating, with some of the skin and
 some of the hair knocked off of him. ] He has been running Fl Observation
 two years and has had to lick Mex
 ican week ever since. He is now 1 going 70 take vacation of two months | visiting friends in Sonora.

 reason that the Victors were in hid
 ing and were not so prevalent on ths
 streets as they wsre two weeks ago
 when they defeated and maimed the
 Pioneers. The Yucatecs were abroad
 but the religious editor upon whom
 the business of ga ahering informa
 tlon about the game devolved, canno
 speak Spanish. What he learned wa:
 this: In the irzt two innings th4
 Victors made twelve runs. Then tn. Yucatecs put in new pitcher. Hi name was VelasGuez or Mendoza O Hernandez or Hispan:ola or Manans
 or something like that. According t
 the score card after this pitcher wen

 The Pioneer band played ar the colr
 house plaza yesterday afternoon to very large audience and the ban,
 never played so well before. If i could have heard the compliment passed upon it, they would hay seemed as sweet as the music was tt , the audience. These compliment , came from not only those whose un , educated ears were ticklei1 by the, har mony, but from students of musi
