Agent Clapp got a shovel with which to gather up the remains, and a t5anket in which to do them up. he watched one side of the track and Engineer Griggs watched the other They reached Separ and could find no dead man, and so kept on. At Deming they found their man, and he was all right, except that he had a monumental jag. He had got off to get a drink and be- came so enamored with DemIng wnlslzy that he did not get back on the train. When told that a special engine had come sixty miles to find his dead body he insisted he was not dead.
 When Messrs. Clapp and, Griggs found they had travelled sixty miles after a drunken man instead Of a dead one they refused to say whether they were glad he was alive or not. The family stopped at Tucson until the father came along on Monday nights train, and then all proceeded happily on their journey.
 Superintendent Randolph is entitled to a great deal of credit for sending out this searching party, even if the lost man was drunk instead of dead.

A MUSICAL JOURNEY
Phoenix Men Start on Horseback
 Tour of inc World.

Ludwig Bloehs and August Jacoby, two we'll known musicians, who have resided in and about Phoenix for nearly a year, left the residence of MT. H. B. Slosser in the Riverside country on horseback tour of the globe. The gen. eral plan of the tour has been. de- scribed by The Republican. It has been arranged by three newspapers, the San Francisco Examiner, the Chi cago World and the New York Staats Zeitung. There will be six of the trou badours They will leave San Fran cisco on April 15 and start on horse
 back to New York. They will sail thence to Southampton, cross the chan nel visit Paris, Brussels, Berlin, Vii enna and Roma. They will go to Cairo. where they will start out overland for India They will then travel by water to the eastern part Of Asia. After a visit to Japan, they will go to Australia, whence they will return to San Fran cisco. The journey ought not occupy more than four years and if it is com pleted $10,000 will be divided among the travellers.
 Messrs. Bloehs and Jacoby go from here to San Diego, whence they will proceed leisurely up the coast to San Francisco, arriving there long enough before the time fixed for the beginning of the journey to get a good rest. They came to this country just before the overthrow of the empire of Brazil. They were under contract with the gov ernment of Dom Pedro to become mem bers of the imperial band. Arriving in New York just before the close Of the Brazilian war, then in progress, they waited there until their royal patron had no further need of brass b4nd.
 nhey remained in New York for some time. A party of eight at length set out on a wager, on foot for the worlds fair. They continued their journey under the same conditions to the mid winter fair at San Francisco. The pill grimage across the western half of the continent was attended by a series of exciting adventures. A member of the party was shot in an encounter with a gang of toughs near Rolla, Mo, and the ringleader of the gang was in turn shot and killed. The pilgrims were once lost in northern New Mexico and almost perished of thirst. They were robbed of their instruments at Raton while stopping at the hotel of the no- torious Garcia, who was subsequently, hanged for murdering his wife, when | it was disclosed that he had been for | years at the head of an organization of | bandits while at the same time pre- | tending to be active in the interest of | good order.

I. O. C. T. NEW YEAR
Opening of inc New Hall Attended
 by Large Crowds.

At o'clock yesterday afternoon the doors of the new l. o. G. T. hall were thrown open, and during the after noon a steady stream of callers ascend ed the broad stairway to the spacious and tastefully decorated hall, where a cordial welcome was given by mem bers of the lodge. Coffee, chocolate, tea and cake were served in the ban quet room to the hungry, and every body was happy. In the evening the seating capacity Of the large hall was taxed to it's utmost by select audience of intelligence and beauty. A musical and literary programme. of rare merit was rendered, which was highly appreciated judging by the hearty ap- plause which greeted each number.
 The Good Templar orchestra made it's debut and was voted a decided sue cess. It is composed of two vioIins, two comets, clarinet, trombone and piano While this was their first per formance they played in perfect time and harmony, and their selections were loudly applauded.
 The Porter brothers with two mando- lins and guitar charmed their audi ence and were compelled to respond to an encore. Seldom, if ever, has a Phoe- nix audience listened to sweeter music on these instruments than is discoursed by the Porter brothers, their execution being of a high order.
 There were speeches by General M. B. Collins and Hon. J. A. Marshall pre- senting the claims of the order, and recitations by Ada and Be--a Forbes, Charley WaIbridge and H. F. Couch. Miss Heilnan and B. A. Brown sang beautiful duet and MT. Deardsley a bass solo, which gave full expression to his magnificent voice.
 The closing number was a speech by MT Wickersham in defense of the American Indian. After the conclusion of the programme the banquet room was thrown open, and the audience en- gagged in games and social chat while waiting their turn at the tables. The members of the lodge made good use of the opportunity to canvass for mem bers, and reported quite a number of names secured. During the month of January members will be admitted at one-half regular rates for initiation
 The members of Garden Valley lodge feel much encouraged over the success Of>this their first meeting in the new hall, and also over the prospect of a successful season for the lodge.
