 Few days ago that Jack Green fig
 Ured prominently in a rather sansa-
 tional scene with the enraged parents | of young lady to whom he has been l paying ardent court, and was com
 pelled to beat a retreat, momentarily
 worsted but not acknowledg: defeat.
 On Wednesday evening he called in
 the services of the IegaI talent and pro cured to be drawn up marriage con tract and then adjourned to the home Of MT. Sawyer, near the residence of the lady in the case, Miss Pitr0H, where she met them and signified her desire to sign the contract, and was about to put the intention into eXecu-
 tion when her brother appeared on the scene and persuaded her to return
 to the parental domicile Q spinster.
 Thus Green has had the second round go against him, but is up strong for the third, while an interested commu- nity waits breathless for the finish. Peradventure tt will be an exciting Mind-up.
 MT. c. E. Butler and Miss Pearl Bell w'are married on the 14th at Prescott. The bride is only 16 years old, but a comedy and very womanly girl. Mr. Butler is chemist and assayer Of the Copper company, a very bright young man with a host of friends. There is quite a romance entwined with this marriage, as MT Butler became ac- quainted with the family of h:s young wife several years ago in New Mexico, when she was Q small child. He after wards went to Mexico, losing track of the Bells, and came across them un- eXpcctedly when he arrived a Jerome. It also appears that there has been some little parental opposition or diff ficulty to overcome in this affair of the h7art also, but Mir. Butler either played his game more shrewdly, or the fates favored him more than MT. Green. as he has conSummated the episode with degree of neatness that no doubt casts the green shade of envy OCT the classic features of unhappy Jack Green.
 These little affairs of courtship. happy and otherwise, give peculiar piquaEcy and zest to existence just at present in the copper city, and it may be said that, Each morning sees some l new one on, and each evening sees an- other.''
 Telephonic reports from Prescott state that Mir Provot is doing very i nicely under the circumstances
 The district court of Prescott, with 1 Judge Sloan presiding has given judg- | ment busting the new city recorder, 1 w. A. McKinnOn, from office Mr Me ] Kinnon was appointed by the city council some few weeks ago, on legal l advice taken by the board, and 11nme- diately thereafter took charge of the l office and began to administer justic9 in petty eases. The recnt conviction of one Alberto Monrial for assault and battery. and the appeal Of his case to Prescott, brought up the point of the validity of the court held by McKin- non, and Judge Sloan has decided that he city council has no right to create his office, as the incorporation was made under the general territorial law md not under any special legislative act, as were the corporations of Phoe- lix and Prescott; that the creation of he judicial function lies only within he power of the legislature; that the of the council was null md void. Hence McKinnon IS again 3 private citizen pending the possibility ,f an appeal by the city fathers, which it is said will not be taken.
 Miss Flossie GirouN is seriously i'll It her home in Deception gulch, suffer ng from an attack og heart failure Ter condition was quite critical for ime but it is reported that she is now much better. The young lady is lieGa of Superintendent J. L. G:rouX of he copper company.
 Yesterday was pay day and every hing about the old town was extreme y lively last night in cCnseuqence.
 Mines and mine talk continues to fill he air, and if one tithe of all the glow ng promises materialize into solid act the future Of Jerome is rainbow Iued indeed.
