A fine picture of the {. S. Senate
has been placed in the Phoenix Office.

of inspection, as it gives a clear and
distinct picture of the faces of the
several Senators-noted as we'll as
otherwise.
The first real old-fashioned rain for
many weeks was that which set in

Geo. Town, the Deputy Sheriff, has
a great fOndness for dogs, shepherd
dogs in particular. The other day
he went over to Frank Whitcomb's
and traded for pup. Town was to
pay $500 for it and instructed Whit
comb to leave it at Sheriff Stevens.
Now it appears that Gus Robbins
wanted this same dog and he told
Town, when George related his pur-
chase to him, that he wanted that
dog and would get it. Well, Town
has been waiting all these days for
the dog and as it has not appeared
the conclusion is that Gus has paid
80 cents spot cash and was given the
dog, WhitcUmb thinking so cents in
the hand was worth considerable
more than $3 90 promised, Anyway
Town says he will have that purp if
he has to 90 up to Eden and steal it.
Perhaps Gus may have something to
say about that.
