The writer would be willing to pay
his share Of the cost Of laying a water
main down the center Of Main street
II the rest of the lot owners would do
the same. The cost would probably
be about ten dollars apiece and this
would leave nothing for the city to do
except lay the main out to the street
and put the hydrants In place and the
tank and we'll In condition for use.
Lot owners would save the cost in q

White had another narrow escape
from almost total destruction by fire
last Friday afternoon. j. NJ. Farrell
left an oil stove burning in his Off ce
while he went to dinner and it
promptly exploded and the whole in-
terror Of the building was mass of
flames in an instant. The smoke
pouring out OF the windows attracted
attention and the cries of those who
saw them soon drew a crowd to the
scene and by prompt and hard work
the flames were extinguished and the
town saved. Mr.. Farrell will be a
loser to the extent of a hundred dol
lars or more on account Of the dam
age done by fire and water to his office

whether such deposits would be ac-

small children to have shorter road

[ inEs appeared to darEeE and he was
 seized with a faint. He was carried
 away and confined to his bed for 8 few days. Since then he has managed tc | hobble up town once a day from his
 residence on Sixth avenue. but no fur i ther exercise is attempted When he allows himself to become entirely in-
 active he loses almost all control over his muscles, and for that reason he has to be assisted from his bed upon
 awakening in the morning. This is attributed to a fracture of a segment in his spinal column and it is thought
 that the rough edge has paralyzed his motor nerves.
 WAITED ON A SICK MAN. The case of Angel Bain, by his mo,ther. against Charles Goldmaa, adminis- trator of the estate of M WOrmser. was tried in Justice Gray's court yesterday.
 The plaintiff is a boy and his claim of $261 is for attendance on Wormser du.ing his last illness The claim was met by the defense with bill from the boys father for services of the same covering the period described i'll the complaint. That bill, by the way was only $69.50. deducting house rent due from the elder Bain to the estate of WOrmser. The defense contends that the settlement with the father disposed of all claims for attendance by any member of the Bain family.
 THE STRAWBERRY SEASON. - The strawberry shipping season began in Phoenix yesterday. Buxton & Go. sent out their first cOnsignments. They were not very numerous. Local ship pers this year will make a departure in the adoption of three-quarter pound instead Of pound boxes They are compelled to do so by the course of the California growers. There is so little difference between the three quarter pound and the pound boxes that it can hardly be noticed and an interruptions dealer could easily de- celve his customers. That was no doubt the purpose of the California change, for if not, the cost of shipping IS greater the smaller the packages. The pound boxes will be used in the local trade by Phoenix dealers the same as last year It is estimated that the strawberry crop in the Salt River valley will amount to between 150 .OOO and 100000 boxes.

ACTION FOR DIVORCE.
Mrs. Rosie Mach Has Many Grounds
for Her Complaint.

Because, she alleges, her husband was
mean to her and tried to trade her off to
another man, Mrs. Rosie Mach yester-
day commenced an action in district
court, through Attorney F. l.. McGhee,
for a divorce from her husband, Joseph
Mach. The complainant cites many in
stances when Joseph, who is a tailor,
has acted cruelty and inhumanly towards
her.
They were married Nov. %, 1898, when
Rosie was twenty-five, and her husband
eight years older. Each had been mar
ried before, and brought one child into
the newly organized household. For a
short time all went well, but within a
few months Mrs. Mach says Joseph
commenced to abuse her, and besides
calling her bad names brought his yard
measure into effective use.
On Nov. 4, just about year after the
wedding, the complaint charges that
stephen Polgracs called at the Mach
household, and during his stay Joseph
asked his friend to take Mrs. Mach and
go away with her For his part he
oufd pay all the expenses of the elope-
ment and look after the welfare of Pol
g:acs' family
The plaintiff says that Mach always
has considerable money about his per-
son, sometimes as much as $500. Further
more, he earns $40 per week at the tai
loring business, and she asks that he be
compelled to pay her alimony.
