Sheriff Truman Of Pinal county has
taken unto himself a bride and on the
event the Tribune comments as fOi-
lows: Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Reid, of
Casa GranC9, announce the marriage
of their daughter Anna to William
Charles Truman in San Francisco,
August 8, 1899 This is the tenor of
cards received by many people in Flor
cree yesterday, and caused not very
much surprise, for the Tribune had
been limiting at it for the past two or
three weeks. The bride as Miss Reid
a prime favorite in Florence, and will
doubtless be even more SO wk'en she
returns as the wife of our popular
sheriff, which will be within the next
four OF five weeks.
The following little Glory is related =,
by the Tribune but it is hard to tell
whether the joke is on Heney or the
Pima Co. supervisors. The position of .
a county supervisor is one of great .
delicacy. He is called upon to equalize
the valuation of his neighb0r's proper !
ty as well as his own, and this scme :
times causes feeling. In Tucson the :
other day Ben HeLay of the f
Frontier felt that he had f
grievance when he was raised ?
and offered to sell his property :
for less than the assessed valuation. i
Getting no offer, he published the fol-
loving: Well, if the board will not i
buy maybe they will sell. We have a :
pool organized and we make them this G
otter: We will purchase their assess t
able property in Pima county for f
double the valuation they pay taxes Z
en-. This takes them all in, or any t
single one of them. The offer is open @
til Dec. 81 next" S
