The new militia company organized
with the old troop A boys as nucleus,
held an enthusiastic meeting Saturday
night at the old armory.
The meeting was presided over by
Captain Matt Bartholet, who thanked
the boys for the honor they had con.
ferred upon him, and stated that he was
assured the company would go to the
front in case a second call was made
by the president. He announced that
the membership was already more than
half completed, aud in order to secure the
balance needed at an early date, he ap-
pointed every member present commit

THE CHINESE EVENT.
A Justice Court Session Temporarily
 Broken Up.

Confusion reigned in Justice John stones ci-urt yesterday morning. Two Chinamen mutually caused the arrest of each ether on charges of assault and battery. One had seized the other by his pig-tail according to the Chinese style of fighting and the other adopt ing the American me+hod had slugged him in the eye. Four other Chinamen had witnessed the encounter, but no two of them saw it alike. Each Of the principals tried to get his story be- fore the cchrt first and thus the inter preter was enabled to honestly earn his salary. Sometimes they talked in Chinese. sometimes in pigeon English and a part of the time in both. They assailed each ether from opposite sides of the table in spite of the ad- monitions of the court. He lie!" ex claimed che, pointing at his adversary. ''He heap dam liar! He heap burglar" cried the other. 'fSlecp ale day, out torted the first. That's alice light" replied the secondl 'I know Mr. Smith. He let me out" He further described Ira P. Smith, the assistant superintendent, by a gesture indicating
  tenn of his abdomen, thereby convey ing an intelligible idea of MT. Smiths well known embonpCint. During the laughter precipitated by this deScrip- tion the four Chinese witnesses with1 out being called upon, all began te5u- flying at once. The interpreter threw up his hands in despair and an inde- scribable racket ensued. Justice John stone could not make himself heald above the din. He made signs t0 Com ID; ;ssioner Mcdonald and Constable Me Clintock, whc seized the Chinamen, principals and witne s5cs, some by the collar and some by the seat of i'll fitting trousers, and threw them bodily out into Wall street. This proceeding promoted crder and court wss recon vened after thorough understanding that. only one witness should talk at one time and he only in answer to a question.
 The scene recalled another wh .ch happened in the same court a couple of years ago, illustrating the Chinaman's tendency toward demons ration and a literal accuracy of description. This enc was complainant against a white man who had knocked him down. In testifying he tried tQ describe the force and location of the bow. He landed on his own jaw with s.0l great violsnce that he knocked himself cut of his chair and fell prone upon the f1ocr. His assailant was convicted.

There is lots of excitement in Will cox over the recent ssrike in Cochise county in the Graham mountains. It is regarded aS one of the biggest bo- nanzas of recent times, and the pros pectors are going there with the hope that further prospecting in that vicin- ity will produce another strike.

A BUNCH OF GALLowAYS
Arrived in fhe City Yesefrday from
 Simon J. nurphy'S Ranch.

In the stockyards of the s. F., P. & P.
 of Galloway steers which are a source
 of attraction to cattlemen and people
 generally. They were brought in
 from the Simon J. Murphy Galloway
 ranch at Mesa yesterday morning,
 where they were bred under the direc-
 tion of MT. A. c. Mcqueen, superinten-
 dent of the Galloway ranch. MT. w.
 H. Smith of Prescott, who has visited
 this valley every year during his long residence in Prescott to secure the
 choicest Christmas beef for his trade, was impressed by the appearance of the Galloway stock raised by MT. Mur
 phy, and year ago placed an order with Superintendent McQCeen for twelve head to be delivered at this time. When MT. Smith visited the Galloway ranch yesterday he tound that the stock was ready for him, and he was more than satisfied when he saw the steers,s F1 shave come to the Salt river valley for the past twenty years for fancy stock, but these beat anything I have ever taken back to Prescott with me- said MT. Smi,h. As scon as the stock arrived in the yards in this city cattlemen drove out to the yards and inspected them, and MT. Smith was congratulated upon his good fortune. MT. Mcqueen, the su perintendent scf the Galloway ranch, came in for a. great deal cf praise at the hands of the visitors. MT. w. s. Pickrell, who, is regarded as an au- thority on shorthlcrn breeds, said, after he had seen the steers: ''They are the best quality of1cattle I have ever seen in this valley sregagd 1ess: of all breeds"
 Goyerncr Murphy was among those who visited the Galloways yesterday "They look like buffaloes," said the governor, as he entered the yards where the steers were. T have seen a great deal of good stock, but these are entitled to first prize. But" added the gcNeTnor, ''I think they are a little bit too good for the Prescott people since tine 8th of November"
 There are eleven steers in the bunch and one 3-montJas-old calf, which re- sembles black bear. The weight of the steers average abcut 1900 pounds, and the calf weighs 365 pounds. The steers are all of the same age, one and one-half years. They are built from the ground up" as one Of the cattlemen expressed it. Their frames are large. and the great width of the shoulders and the we'll filled legs gives them a stocky appearance. The Gal1oways are hcrnless, and they have a woolly hide, with straight hair. about the ears and head generally. They are particularly noticeable for prolific growth of glossy hair, and this fact is no doubt respon- i sible for the curoisity they aroused among people passing the yards. But among cattlemen there are other ccn- which, summed up, mean that the Galloways arc breed which !

WEDDING TRIP ON FOOT.
Hard Luck Befalls a Young Runaway
 Couple in Missouri.

St. Louis, Mo, Dec. 7.-One of the most remarkable wedding journeys on record was made to this city and back to Norwood, Kan. by Austin w. Dun bar and Miss Lizzie Hay of Norwood. On October the couple arrived here, secured a marriage license and were wed. She gave her age as IS years and her residence as Great Bend, Kan. Dunbar said he was g years old and hailed from Lees Summit, Mo.
 Relatives say both are from Nor wood, and that the bride is only 15 years old When they left Ncrwood on their eloping expedition they traveled in a buggy. At Lees Summit, their money gave out and the groom sold the rig, using the proceeds to ride on train to St Louis and thence to JetEer- son City, on the return trip.
 At the latter town they were agaln stalled. but nothing daunted they man aged to get on a freight train and dead head their way to Sedalia. Then they were penniless and the only way they could continue home was to walk, which they did, all the way to Nor wood. a distance of 250 miles, the trip taking them thirty days. Arriving home. the wealthy widowed mother of the bride took her away and the groom left town, as he had gone off with a girl who was too young to marry. She IS now back with her mother, and Dun bars whereab bouts are unknown. The story came to light here today through s. B. and Jacob Riddle brothers, who were sent here by relatives uo see if the couple had been married.

 The responsibility for this state of things ought to be publicly fixed. I've lived in Phoenix for twelve years. When I came here there was no preten- sion toward sanitation, but I never smelled anything like this. The at mosphere was purer then than it is now. The authorities don't seem to recognize that climatic conditions are undergoing change by reason of more extensive irrigation and the rapid growth in the population. I'll make a complaint to the health officer tomor- row. and the colonel stopped to ascer- tain the precise locality as to lot and block of the nuisance.
 During the colonel's remarks upon the need of sanitation his companions smelling powers and memory resumed activity and he thought of the linn burger. Separating hurriedly from the colonel he threw it into a ditch and was no longer walking pestilence.

PENNEY & ROBINSON,

command the admiration of all breed CTS and cattle buyers.
 MT. Mcqueen says that there are 175 head of Galloways left at the Murphy ranchl We came here,'' said he, with 1O5 head three years age which were raised by MT. Murphy in Michi- gan where he has been widely known as a breeder of fancy stock for the past seventeen years. They are easy breed CTS and easy keepers. They cat a grSat variety of feed, and more of it, than any breed of cattle in existence. They reach maturity earlier than any ether breed as yOu can see from the age of this bunch, and their conditicn. At the fat stock shows of Chicago, Kansas City and New Orleans they have taken first prize. Although they are not good milch COWS, they never theless raise excellent calves, and as beef stock they have no superio s..
 MT. Mcqueen says that the Salt river valley is particularly adapted for raising this breed. The alfalfa fsed here has a great deal to do with their success. MT Mcqueen has made a great many displays of Galloways in Michigan, but he says that the stsers sold to MT. Smith yesterday were the finest he has ever raised.
 MT. Smith will leave tomorrow night for Prescott with his stcck. For great many years he has come to the valley fer fancy Christmas beef, but this year his display in Prescott will excel all of his previous efforts. His customers in the mountain city will be ungrateful and unappreciative if they do not include MT Smith in their Christmas blessings.
