 A LIQUID LIEN.-The Republican a few days ago mentioned the confidence
 under excitement of District Attorney Thomas Flannigan in all mankind, as was illustrated by his handing a new
 overcoat to a stranger to hold while
 he was engaged in fighting a fire. It
 was also stated that the stranger, in
 the absence of any information by the district attorney to the contrary, was still holding it. Last night a telephone message was received at this office, de- livered by an unrecognizable voice, saying that the coat was in safe and honest hands, but that drinks had accumulated on it to the amount of S2. The district attorney is expected to satisfy this liquid lien.
 A DEAD ROUGH RIDER. Walter Hickey, a former Rough Rider. died yesterday morning of consumption at the Sisters hospital. He had been in the city about a month, coming here from New Hampshire in the last stages of his deadly disease. For the greater part of his stay in Phoenix he has been, an inmate of the hospital, cared for by the Sisters without charge. For this the ladies of the Red Cross society and the local Rough Riders desire to eX- press their deepest appreciation and most heartfelt thanks. Hickey was only about 24 years of age. He was native of New Hampshire. Soon be- fore the outbreak of the Spanish war he went to Albuquerque, N. M, where he enlisted in Troop F of the Rough Riders, commanded by the late Captain Luna. Later he was transferred to Troop I, Captain McGinnis. He did not go to Cuba, but was a worthy soldier and well worthy of the honorable dis charge he received on muster out of the regiment. He will be buried by his former comrades Sunday afternoon.

Cairns has a six months engagement for mission work in Lancashire. Rev. George H. Brewer the able young evangelist, pu- pil and friend of Mir. Cairns, now has his headquarters in Phoenix. the pres ent home of his family. MT. Brewer has been holding meetings in Denver and Fort Collins, Colorado, with great sue cess. It is learned that at Fort Col lins the church could not hold the crowds which came to the services. More than forty persons professed con- version, half of whom were men. It is expected that Mir.
