 COL. CONGER D TROUBLES. "A Especial from Akron, O., to the Cincin- nati Plaindealer says that Col. Conger
 who spent last winter in this valley has lost all his possessions through business reverses. Col. Conger came here last December with his wife, and they were accompanied by Dr. w. J. Conner, who is located at the Alham- bra hotel on Adams street. He was a genial gentleman and made many friends in the city, all of whom will be sorry to learn of his misfortune.
 TRIED BY FIRE. MT. Lee Garrett and Miss Annie Williams of Phoenix were united in marriage on Wednes- day night. The ceremony was fol- lowed by a pleasant wedding supper at Coffee As MT. Garrett some weeks ago handsomely furnished a house on South First avenue. On the night of the day he put his furniture in position a fire broke out in his house, which was destroyed with all it's con- tents. Few men are visited by fire more than once in a life time. So. MT. Garrett having received a fiery vacci- nation may consider himself proof against fires in this world or the next.
 BELIEVED TO BE RINGERS. = The guests of a North Fourth avenue boarding house are growing suspicious of couple of fellow boarders. One of them, young man, claims to have come from Sacramento. The other, a young lady, says that her home is in St Louis. Each denies having ever seen each other until they met by chance in Phoenix. But both are whist players and have lately been playing in such extraordinary luck that the rest of the boarders believe they are professionals travelling through the country for the undoing of amateur players.
