Anti. Flirting bill. which has heretofore been re.
garded as the joke Of the legislative session,
took o serious turn to-day, and will probably be
favorably reported and become o law. The bill
was considered this afternoon before tho Com
m!ttee on Public Institutions and Schools, and
the testimony in letters from various principals
of girls schools was so impressive that those
members who had heretofore treated the matter
rs a Joke declared themselves in favor Of the
measure. It was laid over In order to give the
committee time to fully consider the provisions
Of the bill IN detail. =
The measure 10 designed TO protect schoolgirls
from the annoyance and the lettering around
girls schools OF young men Of Objectionable
character. The need Of such q law was felt SO
much in this city that when the Legislature,
two years ago. failed to consider such a bill. tho
City Council passed an ordinance which efectu-
ally broke up tho attentions Of the young
masher to schoolgirls. Several arrests were
made and no moro trouble was experienced.

One Hears More Home News Than the

The Tombstone Prospector prints a quite too delightful little tale attach ing the male portion of the responsi- bility upon some Phoenix young gal lant. There has been no whisper of such an affair permitted to disturb the breeze of our streets, and the re- corder's office fails to leak. The i'm putation is such that there appears to be justice in a demand made that the Prospector shall furnish the names of the parties, especially that of the young man. This is the story:
 "A young lady arrived at Phoenix from the east last winter and from there went to Castle Creek springs to try the health-g giving waters A Phoe- nix exchange says she formed the ac- qualntance of a young man who claimed to own considerable property at Phoenix and vicinity. They wended their way to the capital, where they would be made joint owners of the estates and happy partners for life. On arriving at Phoenix it occurred to the young lady that she has been pay ing the bills of the journey, and she went forth to the recorders office to ascertain the extent and full value of her immediate possessions, when to her utter dismay' his name was not there, and the pleasing dream was at an end. She went home to mamma the same evening in a somewhat per turbed state of mind"

Indians lay around Tempe drunk. They were locked up and a search be- gan to be made-for the man who had sold them the liquor. When they got sober they said they had been sup piled by colored man in Phoenix, but were unable to give any description of him that the officers could understand. They were brought to town yesterday and readily pointed out Ayres. He was arrested and taken over uo Tempe last night by Constable Smith. Within four years Ayres has been in the county jail ten times charged with feI- ony, usually burglary, but he has never been convicted of anything. The last grand jury discharged an accusation of burglary against him. There has never been any moral doubt of his guilt of whatever he happened to be charged with, but he had arranged matters so that there was no evidence He seems to lead charmed life. He carries a silver-tipped rabbit foot which his superstitious brethren be- 1ieve furnishes him him immunity from punishment.
