Arizona republican., 1898-09-10

Contreras was kept green by the po-
 lice department. He came back to the
 city couple Of weeks ago and kept in
 the shade. It palled on him to be
 quiet so long, so the other night he
 broke the monotony by getting into a
 fight, for which all hands were arrest
 ed. Thus he came into prominence
 again. He was sentenced by Justice
 Johnstone to the county jail for several
 days and the county has entered into
 a solemn covenant to turn him over
 to Recorder Jobs when his time has
 expired. The recorder has made up
 his mind what he will do to him.
 ADVANTAGE OF A RECORD.-It
 is not generally known that most
 jewelry stores keep an accurate de-
 scription of all watches sold or re-
 paired. The description includes the
 number and kind Of the movement,
 the number of the case and it's variety
 The advantage to patrons of this sort
 of record has been twice shown within week, for by means of it two stolen
 watches have been recovered The
 first was stolen from Charles Holmes and the latter from Gus Haigler Not one man in a hundred knows the num- Der of his watch, so that the only de- Scription that the losers could give was in the case of one, silver watch, and the other, an open faced gold watch. Both went to Cooks jewelry store as a sort of forlorn hope, where the watches had been bought or re- paired. The records of both were found and furnished the secondhand stores and pawnbrokers, and both were recovered when the holders tried to dispose of them.
 ANDREW GREW FLIP.-Andrew
 Walker, the colored janitor at the National Bank of Arizona is growing flip and obnoxious. Complaint has been made by several white girls that Andrew winks at them with the other eye when he meets them on the street and addresses them familiarly with .'Hello!" Yesterday he met girl. almost a young woman, in front of the Alkire dry goods store and asked a conference with her last night at the corner of Fifth and Van Buren streets. 4 man rassing observed the girls con fusion and asked what Andrew had said She told him. The man went to Justice Johnslone's office and made complaint. In the justices opinion the matter was too urgent to wait on the slow process Of the law. He went down to the bank and found Andrew hiding behind the door gradually em- ulating an ash pile in paleness. The justice told him that Yuma was yawn- ing for him and would get him if worse didn't happen to him quicker He also told him how such cases were sometimes disposed of in Kentucky Andrew seemed impressed.
 ASK REPRESENTATION. = A of large number Of Mexican republicans Of Phoenix and the county was held at the court house last night to endorse two candidates fer places on tne republican legislative ticket. Roth Sam Brown Of Tempe and E. Gonzalez of Phoenix were endorsed, or rather tie endorsement was divided between them, as it is only asked that one cs them should be nominated. Both Of these gentlemen have heen favorably mentioned in connection with tie legislative ticket by several delegates. Beth are msn of business ability and both nave great influence for good with the people of their race. ! After the meeting was over promi nsnt Mexican who had taken part in it, said We have been trying for a long time to get representations Cn the republican county ticket. We hope the convention ,,omoIrow twill nomi- nate either Mir. Gonzalez or MT. Brown. But # it should not see fit to do so we Mexican republicans will go ahead and work for the ticket just the same as if our candidate had been nominated" Julio Marron, the chairman, addressed the meeting cn republicanism.
