THE RIGHrING or A WRONG
A PhoenIx Business Man Becomes
 an Unwilling Husband.

A Phoenix business man took a wife under protest yesterday. In a small town where everybody knows everybody else and where no man has a circle ' of friends big enough to conceal himself in when publicity is given to his errors, it is sometimes proper to withhold his real name. So for convenience in the following narrative, the subject of this sketch will be called Jones. There is naturally a woman in the case. She is Mrs. Jones now, but she will be called Smith. For req sons of consanguininity her father and brother, who figure in the episode. will be known as MT Smith, Sr., and Mir Smith, Jr. Justice Johnstone, District Attorney Flannigan and Pro- bate Judge Scott gre the other dra- lnatis personae. The consideration of the press will not be extended to them, but they will be alluded to by their real names.
 About 10 o'clock yesterday morning the district attorney was aroused by The author of the knock was MT.
 
 dle of affairs in the explanation of the object of his visit. He had a daughter who he desired should be married at cnce. She ought to have been married months ago. The consent of the bride groom had not been obtained. but that was not a serious obstacle. The father did not invoke the application of the law, but as a result of his visit the district attorney took cab and drove to Jones place of business JCnes was persuaded to join him in the cab. The party was reinforced later by MT. Smith, s., and Mr. Smith, Jr. The Smiths were Ominously quiet and Jones was obviously perturbad. The subject of the marriage was brought up and Jones presented a va riety of reasons why it should not be soIemnized. In the first place he said that he was only enc of a large syndi- cate, every member of which was as liable to the hymeneal yoke as he was. The old man passed over the gross insult contained in Jones' argu- ment and said slowly, with a distinct ness which increased Jones' per- fll1fbation, He is going to marry the girl"
 MT. Smith, Jr., was more fretful and eV1nced a disposition to shed blood lie SeemeQ to believe that it was more important that Jones should die than that he should marry However, he was not unwilling 70 give him a chance for his life.
 Then Jones as triumphantly as DOS Slble in the case of a man who is scared t o death presented what seemed to him an unanswerabIe req son why he should not become a. son ln-IaW. He said he had a wife. That may or may not have been a lie. but at any rate it served no useful purpose. MT. smith, Jr., grew fidgety and the olstrlct attorney grew nervous.

We have not sold out Never thought of such thing. Didn't start up this business to sell out. This is one grocery store in Phoenix that is not for sale.

We took a contract to sell groceries cheap CT than some people can steal them, and we are doing our best to carry it out Something new in few days that will bring tears of joy to your eyes.

A PLAGUE
OF RATS.
Rodents Driven in From
Greek Banks Are TAX
ing Possession
of Homes.

Wilmington just now is plagued
by rats. The rodents are every
where. In some cases they have
almost completely undermined
homes. and hold such high carnival
that the> rightful occupants of the
houses do not know what a quiet
night is. Particularly is this so in
several West Fifth street homes.
For several weeks the rats have
been the source of much worriment.
They have almost transformed the
kitchen and pantry woods into
sieve-like tloorings, although the
holes are daily choked with glass
and other material calculated to
check the progress of the ordinary
animal, the rats continue their
work. They have gnawed table
cloths, carpets and doors until
housewives have become sick at
heart and are calling upon tine Pied
Piper of Hamlin to rid them of the
plague.
1t is fact that several nights ago
a sleeping occupant OF one OF the
Fifth street homes was awakened
by rat on his bed. Families on
Washington street between Seventh
and Ninth streets also report being
disturbed by the rats. They say
the rodents are making life almost
unbearable. They never before
knew of such visitations by the ami
mails. People of the city who are
being annoyed by the rats are of
the opinion that the animals are of
the sewer species, and that they
have been driven in from the river
banks because of the dredging
which is now being done in the
creek. The belief is plausible in
asmuch as all the houses which are
infested by the rodents are either
over or in close proximity to the
sewers leading into the creek.

occasion that it depended entirely
upon the principles when the fight
would take place.
Maher told Mccoy yesterday that
he would agree to a two weeks
postponement if the "Kid' wanted
more time in which to prepare for

necessary to put the fight off for
more than eleven days.
Mccoy said that he was feeling
all right again and expe cted to

fight Immediately. He will do his
work at Muldoon S farmupin White
