in with silk. The gift of the flag
 came about in this way: At the last
 meeting of the grand lodge it was or
 dered that each subordinate lodge should floGt flag from its castle on the day preceding the regular meeting night. In compliance with the order
 the lodge wrote to various hrms en-
 gagged in the manufacture of flags.
 But at that time fever of patriotism
 was on the country and all manufac- tories were far behind their orders. The embarrassment of the lodge be- coming known to Mrs. McWilliams she
 made as beautiful 8 flag as has been
 turned out in the United States this year.
 ! Frank Harner, a trumpeter of Troop A of the Rough Riders arrived in
 the city from the south yesterday
 morning on his way to his home at 1 Prescott. He is on furlough, the
 most of which has expired. At the end of ten days he will report at Whip pie barracks and if found in good physical condition he will be ordered | to join his troop, unless it has been
 previously disbanded. He was over come by heat on Saturday. July 2, the second day of the battle before San- tiago. The day efore he saw his commander, Captain O'Neill fall Re also had the honor of shaking hands with Lieutenant Hobson. He was then in the hospital at Siboney When dobson was exchanged and was on his through the hospital, shaking hands with the sick and wounded. AS soos as possible after the fall of Santiago, Harner and other inmates Of the hos pital were sent to Fort Monroe. As
 soon as he became convalescent he was granted furlough.
 Deputy Sheriffs Martin Buggelin and Bain Black of Coconino county arrived n the city yesterday morning with John Shoot, whom they are taking to Yuma under nine-year sentence for ! nanslaughter TheEo went >on with their prisoner last night Shoots
 ,rime was the killing of Juan Encinas It Williams on June 23 Of this year. The killing grew out of a quarrel over I woman of the town with whom En- cinas had made himself more solid than Shoot The latter armed himself
 
 shot off his left arm two or three inches below the shoulder. Encinas lied six days later and Shoot was ar rested on a charge of murder. He vas convicted at the late term of dis .rict court at Flagstaff. Encinas ived in Phoenix for many years and vas almost constantly in trouble. It IS said that he knew every Mexican n the county and nearly every one in he territory. He was valuable to
 county officials in hunting up wit ! aesses in Mexican cases. There was nothing else valuable about him. Conductor Roberts of the Northern Additions railway, deserves a medal md promotion for conspicuous pres ance of mind in the face ot great dan ger. By knowing at the right time
 what to do and how to do it he at
 east prevented an accident and prob
 ably saved the life of lady yesterday
 Conductor Roberts is also the motor
 nan. As his car was coming to town
 on First avenue yesterday a lady=on 1 horseback was approaching from the opposite direction. The horse was a
 small, wiry, nervous creature and kept 'hying. At distance of ten feet from
 he car, which was running at its usual rate of speed, the horse jumped square
 y on the track. The motorman in
 'tantly shut off the direct current and put on the re 5erse. When the car came to a
 stop it almost touched tho horse. The
 nctorman got off and led the fright ened animal past the car. If the motor nan had done what ninety-nine out of 100 would have done, engaged in a mental reflection upon the proper course to pursue in such an unexpected emergency, there would probably have )een a funeral announcement today, a lead horse and disabled car.
