 J. M. Gregory, who is agent for a
 woman owning a house in the southern part of town, called on Justice John stone yesterday to know what could be done with one Pete Davis, a tenant
 Davis is described as an undesirable tenant, who steadfastly refuses to va cate. The chief complaint against him is that he has converted the fence surrounding the property into kindling wood. It is feared that unless he is restrained he will similarly dispose of the house, which is a frame structure and consequently inf1ammable.
 There is an increasing sentiment in favor of school house in the lower part of the city. It is not the same sentiment which favored one in the neighborhood of "block A." Thatiwas not really an educational project, but move toward crowding the block out by the operation of the 400-yard limit law. Those who are urging a south end school house desire that it be located as far away from the block as possible. A rough esti- mate places the number of children who would be benefited by school in the southern part of town at not less than 100.
 The Monday morning issue of The Republican was received with pleasure yesterday morning and also with sur prise, for it had been precipitated without Ia f1ourishing of trumpets. People were pleased for two reasons, one of which was that it filled up a gap of one day in the week. It was also received as a compliment to the growing importance of Phoenix and the territory as worthy recipients of daily paper, published daily. l The compliment was heightened by the fact that Phoenix is the only town of it's numbers in the United States and, perhaps, in the world that has daily paper.

Kelley, who is thought to have had ample provoca- tion for the blow. Nevertheless, Kel- ley paid the fine. In this case Captain Fly Mcdonald made his first appear anoe in any court as attorney. He made al eloquent plea for Kelley, declaring that he wa san honest and honored citizen, and that if the case was be- fore a Texas court he would be dis charged with honor even though the blow had killed Quinn. MT. Kelley's only fault was that he did not hit Quinn hard enough.
 There is a misunderstanding in town regarding the restrictions placed upon
 pawnbrokers. It was stated the ether
 day by a Phoenix newspaper that there was not a pawnbroker's license in the city. AS matter of fact there
 are two firms paying a licens. of $55
 a quarter, of which $25 goes to the
 city and $30 to the county The pawn broking business is supposed to be otherwise regulated by a city ordi- nance, but so far as is known the o, her
 regulations arr not enforced. I, is 'e- | quired that pawnbrokers shall keep a record of all goods received by them, shall rot charge a higher rate of in terest than 1 per cent a month, and 1 shall hold all articles for redemp ion at least six months.
