AN AFTERNOON RECESS. The
butchers are now contemplating clos
ing their shops a few hours each after
noon. This movement was started by
the Hurley market and hinges on Che
shop of Cant & BalsZ. All other BUTCH
ers have agreed to close, but the pro-
prietors of this market want lime to
take the matter under Amusement.
Last year the meat markets adopted a
rule of closing in June. An unavail
ing effort was made at the beginning
OF this summer to have the custom
again adopted. If the present effort is
successful the markets will close at
| least between the hours of 1870 and
3 o'clock in the afternoon. During
these hours there is little business
transacted. The markets would fol-
low this rule until scEfe time in Sep

THE CRESAR CASE. Mrs. Nellie
Cresar whose troubles with her hus-
band previous to her recent abandon
ment by him have been pretty well
aired in the courts. left last night for
the home of relatives in New York.
A half rate ticket to Chicago was pro-
cured through the board of supervisors
and sympathizing friends made up
purse to pay her fare the rest of the
way There was more of misfortune
than viciousness in Cresaf' s-tfeatment
of his wife. He is man of-Hniversity
training and until his health failed he
earned princely income. He and mis-
wife lived up to it. Since coming to !
Phoenix they have sometimes wanted I
for even the comforts of life. To make !
matters worse Cresar IN, 'the course of !
his medical treatment had acquired the !
morphine habit All this affected his I
humor, which was made worse as was !
shown at his examination IN a charge !
of wife beating, by Mrs. Cresar's !
taunts of his poverty. Thus love had |

THE DOG CATCHER'S POSITION. /!
A man named Secrist discovered yes !
terday that the aegis- of the municipal /
government is broad enough to in /
ciude even the dog catcher. 1t IS a |
common belief that the dog catcher IS I

rs on object of contumely for indig- !
nant dog owners That belief. is not
confined to Phoenix, but prevails !
wherever there are dogs and dog catch !
ers are usually selected with reference /
10 abnormal muscular development /
and imperfect development of sensl- /
tiveness regarding the opinions of i
of dogs. Dog caJchers sell /

any clash with citizens. They usually |
get the best of personal or vocal en- t
counters and what is more to the /
mint the dog Yesterday morning :
while Dog Catcher Burke was canvass

crist assaulted him in violent language |
with threats of personal punishment i
and altogether interfered with MI I
Burke's official business Mr.. Burke /
made complaint against Secrist and .
an officer went down and impOunded i
him. He wiz be Informed in police

TOO MUCH BLACK STUFF. Rob-
art Gibson, the man whose arrival was
noted a day or two ago and who acted !
so queerly the sheriff got hold of him
and is kepeing him in Jail pending an
examination for insanity today, not
only continues in his queer notions.
but in the last twenty-four hours has
added several additional Authorizations
10 his already large collection. AS
noted in yesterdays issue he refused

he thought the conductor had smeared
he seats over with some objectionable
substance which he calls ''black stuff.
When taken back to the jail he rolled

saving it was also covered with deadly
paste. He then diSrObed and paraded
